The cardiovascular system is powered by the magnificent heart, which, until the final moment of our death, ceaselessly pumps blood into the vast network of vessels forming the cardiovascular system; supplying every cell with nutrients and oxygen, whilst simultaneously removing metabolic leftovers.
A wide array of different dis-orders arise as a consequence of maintaining a suboptimal cardiovascular system: strokes, hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure, ischemic heart disease are all related to bearing an unserviceable cardiovascular system.
What causes an unhealthy cardiovascular system?
Atherosclerosis is a condition which is almost always evident prior to deadly cardiovascular diseases.
Atherosclerosis pertains to the process whereby the arteries begin to clog due to piles of cholesterol and fat, called plaque, covering the lining of the vascular endothelium, which narrows the blood-vessel and, in turn, causes resistance against optimal blood flow.
A sedentary lifestyle, coupled with daily intakes of meat, dairy, refined carbohydrates and high fat foods (in particular fried fats), promotes chronic low-grade inflammation, hyperlipidemia and hypercholesterolemia (high serum levels of fat and cholesterol, respectively); conditions which are likely to result in atherosclerosis; and perhaps, the subsequent development of any given cardiovascular disorder.
Furthermore, heavy smoking and alcohol drinking, and high rates of sodium (salt) consumption combined with low levels of potassium (found in many fruits) intake, are also significant contributors to cardiovascular issues.
How do we reverse the condition?
Protocol
We recommend following a plant based, whole food, dietary pattern, centered on high intakes of colorful, phytonutrient rich fruits and vegetables, coupled with daily movement; a strategy which will provide potent protection by promoting decreased oxidative stress and less internal inflammation, lowering cholesterol levels and balancing lipids in the blood. See The Sensible Lifestyle; detailing the principles of a sound lifestyle.
A diet high in anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative substances is an effective approach towards optimizing the performance of the cardiovascular system, since these phytonutrients encourage the repairment of arterial dis-orders and help increase blood flow.
Herbs can effectively support the regeneration of our cardiovascular system; supplying the body with high quantities of potent phytonutrients; exhibiting powerful anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, cholesterol lowering and anti-coagulatory effects; helping the body to significantly reduce atherosclerosis, which, eventually, enables the reformation of a powerful cardiovascular-system; a prerequisite tremendous wellbeing.
