| | HOW TO MODIFY YOUR HEART DISEASE RISK? | | Great. Youre interested in cutting your risk of heart disease.
Lets get started right away.
First, lets take a look at the risk factors for heart
disease and see how creating some minor lifestyle alterations
could help you prevent heart disease.
What are the risk factors for heart disease ?
Broadly, risk factors might
be divided into two kinds.
*those you can not
do much about
*those that you may modify
Non-modifiable Risk Factors
There are some things you just can not
change. Some of the
risk factors for heart disease fall into this category,
including factors like gender, age, ethnicity, genetics
and geographic location.
Coronary artery disease is 2.5 times more likely in men
than women. Heart attacks occur in 9.7% of women
between 65 and 69 years of age, but in 17.9% of those
older than 85. There are many reasons for this protective
advantage women enjoy, and they are detailed in another
related article titled "Why are Women so Superior in
Coronary Disease ?"
African- Americans have a higher heart disease risk than
whites, and the incidence also varies among Hispanics,
Asians and other races. These variations are the result
of a complex interaction between a variety of effects
including dietary habits, social customs, stresses,
exercise and activity levels, climate, cultural influences
and much more.
Genetic influences on heart disease incidence used to be
considered irreversible. Today, the break-throughs in gene
therapy are exciting. They raise the hope that in the future,
we could be
able to repair some faulty genetic programming in
our DNA that predisposes us to heart disease.
But really, there isnt anything you might
do about being born
male, growing older or the color of your skin !
