Eat to Beat DiabetesWHAT IS HEART DISEASE?
Heart disease, or cardiovascular disease, encompasses a range of conditions, including blood vessel diseases such as coronary artery disease, problems with heart rhythm (arrhythmias), valve dysfunction, cardiac infarction, cardiomyopathy, congenital heart defects, etc.
Heart attacks are usually acute events and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart. The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain. The cause of heart attacks is usually the presence of a combination of risk factors, such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol, hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia.
The effects of behavioral risk factors may show up in individuals as raised blood pressure, raised blood glucose, raised blood lipids, and overweight and obesity.
Heart disease is one of the major causes of death all over the world and can be controlled if you follow these steps:
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Be physically active
- Lead a stress free life
- Follow a healthy eating plan, which includes foods lower in salt, saturated fats, etc.
All steps but the last help manage the heart disease along with medications. This is because medications only manage the disease. But a healthy diet can help you prevent and also at times overcome and reverse heart disease.
Human body has immense capacity to come back to its original healthy state. No matter what your present physical condition is, you can heal yourself. You just have to give your body the right condition, right environment including food, rest, exercise and non-stressed mental state. Given the above, the body starts the reversal of disease.
At Prakitika, we have a holistic approach towards your heart disease, where we will guide you with a healthy food/diet plan along with the above suggested approaches.

Your diet plays a very important role in the health of your heart. The diet is so powerful that it will unclog your arteries, open up collateral arteries in case of arterial blockages, and also restore optimum function of your heart.
