Trick or Treatment: The Undeniable Facts about Alternative Medicine

Heart disease is a disorder that affects the ability of the heart to function normally. The common types of heart disease are coronary heart disease, pulmonary heart disease, ischaemic heart disease, hereditary heart disease, inflammatory heart disease, hypertensive disease and valvular disease.

Heart disease is primarily a disease of poor and sedentary lifestyle, and can be largely preventable through risk factor awareness and modification. The best way to prevent heart disease is to control blood pressure and have LDL cholesterol at low levels.

Regular exercise can also reduce the risks of heart disease.

Grapes are recommended for heart patients because, being soft, slimy and cold, grapes have a soothing and calming effect on the heart muscles. A moderate intake of ripe mangoes strengthens the heart and gives relief from palpitations. Good sleep, fresh air, rest and peace of mind are also necessary for heart patients.
