What Is Ischemic Heart Disease

Contrary to popular belief, not all fats are bad for our body.

In-fact, there are good fats as well as bad fats.

Good fats keep our body warm and protect our vital organs.

Additionally, they also aid in digestion and are necessary in producing some hormones.

More importantly, they can help to reduce blood cholesterol level and lower our risk of heart disease.

Good fats include monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats

Monounsaturated fats are found in a variety of vegetable oils and nuts such as almonds, peanuts, avocados and olives.

Polyunsaturated fats are found in foods rich in Omega 3 and Omega 6 such as fatty fish like tuna, salmon and mackerel, and nut seeds like that of sacha inchi, sunflower or pumpkin.

With more and more people being concerned about living a healthy lifestyle, it’s important to understand how fats work, and those that are healthy and unhealthy.

Yet, there are many of us who knowingly or unknowingly ingest or eat foods which are unhealthy.

Most of such foods are also very tasty which adds to the attraction of our senses.

However, it is important to know what to eat or not to eat in order to live a healthy and long life.

One of the most important aspects of healthy eating is the fats we eat.

Taking time to learn and understand proper nutrition and the significance of fat will ensure that you make healthier choices which can contribute to longevity of life.

Heart health and weight management should be at the forefront of everyone’s minds. The consequences of ignoring these issues can be disastrous.

Diabetes, overweight and obesity, poor diet and lack of exercise are risk factors for heart disease, and specifically the ingesting of too much unhealthy fats.

The reality is that a lot of heart attacks are preventable by following a healthy diet and lifestyle on an on-going basis.

Whether you are healthy, overweight, or underweight, your diet must comprise dietary fats in order to support cell growth, produce hormone, and help absorb nutrients into the body.

Fats will only make you fat when you consume too much food which is high in ‘bad fats’ such as trans fats.

Consuming sacha inchi oil rich in essential omega fatty acids packs a powerful punch to speed up your metabolism.

It targets your belly fat and thus, rev up your weight-loss plan, helping you control your waistline in the long-run.

Carrying excess pounds on your body opens you up to a plethora of diseases just waiting to ravage your body.

Type 2 diabetes, liver disease, hypertension, increased cancer risk and heart disease are just a few of the many health issues that can take root in your body when you’re overweight.

Aim to reduce your weight till your BMI is below 25.

A proper diet and regular exercise will help you reach your ideal weight.

It may take you effort and time for a while, but if you stick to it, you’ll get there.

A sedentary lifestyle not only leads to weight gain but also a weak heart.

You must engage in some form of cardio activity at least three times a week.

Brisk walking, swimming, cycling etc. are all fantastic forms of cardio.

Many people forget that the heart is a muscle and it must be worked for it to be strong.

Find a cardio activity that you enjoy and make it a part of your lifestyle.

Try and challenge yourself daily by beating your personal bests.

This will improve your stamina, strengthen your heart and reduce your risk of heart disease.

‘If you don’t make time for exercise, you’ll have to make time for illness.’

Sacha inchi oil is one of the best remedies for high cholesterol levels. It lowers BAD cholesterol (LDL) and raises GOOD cholesterol (HDL), preventing blood clotting and reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases and plaque deposition in the arteries.

Studies have shown that consuming sacha inchi oil over a four-month period resulted in a drop in the patients’ LDL and overall cholesterol levels as well as an increase in HDL – the good type of cholesterol

As well as improving heart health, sacha inchi oil is hailed because of its medicinal effect in reducing the risk of stroke.

Clogged arteries can reduce blood flow and greatly increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, and even death.

Consuming sacha inchi oil consistently helps reverse the hardening of blood vessels. This is largely due to the high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids in sacha inchi which are known to have strong cardio-protective effects.

There are two kinds of cholesterol; "good" and "bad."

Bad cholesterol, also known as Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), is found in processed/unhealthy foods and deposits between blood vessels.

Good cholesterol is High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and helps bring cholesterol away from the blood vessel wall.

High LDL levels are associated with coronary heart disease and plaque build-up in the arteries.

With lower LDL levels, cardiovascular concerns are reduced, and blood circulation usually improves.

Staying away from saturated fats, including red meat, cheese, and oily food and replacing them with healthier alternatives can cause drastic improvements to your overall health in a short amount of time.

Whether you are healthy, overweight, or underweight, your diet must comprise dietary fats in order to support cell growth, produce hormone production, and help absorb nutrients into the body.

Fats will only make you fat when you consume too much food which is high in ‘bad fats’ such as trans fats.

Consuming Sacha Inchi oil rich in essential omega fatty acids packs a powerful punch to speed up your metabolism. It targets your belly fat and thus rev up your weight-loss plan, helping you control your waistline in the long-run.

The connection between a nutritious diet and a healthy heart just became even clearer.

A recent study by the University of Washington found that almost half of deaths from cardiovascular disease can be prevented by changing what you put on your plate.

To make those choices easier, researchers also identified several of the leading risk factors and measured how much they contribute to the likelihood of heart conditions and stroke.

It’s a big deal when you consider that cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide.

Cutting your risk of cardiovascular conditions in half is one more worthy reason for eating a balanced diet and making other simple lifestyle changes. Take care of your heart by consuming more nuts, vegetables, and whole grains, and cutting back on empty calories.

Research has shown that the satiety systems in the brain are triggered by the volume of food that you eat and not the amount of calories that you consume.

So basically this means that if you eat less calorie dense foods, your body will feel full while still consuming fewer calories.

Generally, foods that are high in fats and sugar pack a lot more calories per pound than foods that have more dietary fiber and water.

So you can indeed have a healthy and fulfilling diet, and still shed that unruly fat.

You can opt for nutritious food that offers ample nutrition but with fewer calories.

Sacha Inchi seeds are believed to be a great remedy for high cholesterol. It lowers BAD cholesterol (LDL) and raises GOOD cholesterol (HDL), preventing blood clotting and reducing the risk of coronary heart diseases and plaque deposition in the arteries.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDER WHY PLANT-BASED FOODS ARE CHOLESTEROL FREE?

The cholesterol is being manufactured by our liver. That’s why any type of meat is being processed by our liver because it has cholesterol while plant based foods don't need to be processed by our liver.

Whole plant foods will generally contain a much lower source of cholesterol and will contain many more vitamins and minerals to help balance other systems in the body.

Always remember, cholesterol is not the problem - it is the amount of unbalanced cholesterol you put into your body that can cause challenges. Eating plenty of whole foods helps the “good” cholesterol to handle the “bad.”

Cholesterol is a natural mechanism that the body uses to heal arterial walls.

High-density lipoproteins (commonly referred to as good cholesterol) are created in an effort to recycle cholesterol in the arteries - these are the guys that take cholesterol away from the heart and arteries. This is a natural mechanism that the body goes through in an effort to heal.

Low-density lipoproteins, on the other hand (commonly referred to as bad cholesterol), is the type of cholesterol that carries its contents to the arteries. For this reason, many people consider LDL’s bad - although they are rightfully just doing their jobs.

The difficulty arises when we have a diet that contains an excessive amount of foods which promote LDL production or contain high amounts of cholesterol in general.

This can cause an issue because the body does not have enough HDL’s to recycle the cholesterol and remove the plaque from the arterial walls. In this case, you have a buildup of gunk in the arteries that can raise blood pressure and lead to other chronic diseases.

We can prevent inflammation just by changing our diet and eating the right amount of food to reduce or prevent inflammation. Adding an adequate amount of Antioxidant and Omega 3 to your diet will significantly reduce your risk of having inflammation in your body.

Having said that, adding sacha inchi oil in your daily diet can combat inflammation because of its significant Omega-3 content. Omega-3 may reduce inflammation by up to 62% by helping to soothe tissues that were inflamed and thus helps improve your body’s inflammatory response.

Sacha inchi also contains Vitamin E which is a powerful antioxidant found in many nuts and seeds. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E defends against free radical damage from environmental toxins like cigarette smoke and smog. For this reason, the Vitamin-E rich sacha inchi oil is effective for protecting against aging and associated diseases.

Inflammation is the real cause of heart disease, NOT cholesterol.

So many people get this wrong.

Your goal is to reduce inflammation.

The best way to do that is to reduce or eliminate your consumption of processed foods.

Switch to a diet that’s wholesome, natural, low in sugar but high in fiber and omega-3 fats.

This is one of the best ways to combat heart disease.

Have you ever wondered why diabetes is so powerful that it can break our heart?

Diabetes is about blood sugar in blood vessels. And for all we know, our heart is made up of muscle and they work 24/7. All these muscles need oxygen and nutrients - the role of the blood vessels is to provide oxygen and nutrients to the muscle of the heart - each cell of the heart.

Imagine if one part of your heart has blockage - that part will not have enough supply of oxygen and nutrients. That part of the heart with blockage will eventually die off and then heart attack will happen.

Sugar is one of the main causes of inflammation in our blood vessels so it is necessary to reduce the inflammation in our body to reduce the risk of heart disease.

“Life is more beautiful and more fun when you have a heart that beats right.”

“You live longer and healthier if you have a heart that beats without any complications.”

Clogged arteries can reduce blood flow and increase the likelihood of heart attack and stroke.

Consuming sacha inchi oil consistently can help reverse the hardening of blood vessels.

This is due to the presence of high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids in sacha inchi oil which are known to have strong cardio-protective effects.

Studies have shown that sacha inchi oil may also reduce inflammation (root cause of heart blockage) by up to 62% due to the powerful combination of Omega-3 as well as vitamin E that are present in the oil.

“Heart disease is a foodborne illness.”

Chronic inflammation is the root cause of heart attack. The common causes of chronic inflammation are aging, obesity, smoking, stress, sleep disorder, and poor diet.

If we suffer from chronic inflammation and at the same time there is a high amount of bad cholesterol (LDL) and low level of good cholesterol (HDL) in our body, heart blockage will happen.

What exactly is Heart Attack?

Heart attack (scientifically-known as ischemic heart disease) happens when the blood vessels of our heart become narrow.

When our heart cells can not get enough oxygen from our blood, they will slowly die off. Heart attack is a direct result when that happens.
