Alternative Treatment for Heart Disease

Heart Attack Prevention and Heart Care

An alternative treatment for heart disease can help prevent as well as treat and reverse this condition which encompasses many different heart problems. Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States.

What is heart disease and what are heart disease symptoms?

Heart disease is an all-inclusive term signifying all of the many serious problems affecting the heart. The main cause of heart disease is a buildup of fatty deposits in the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis. The arteries become clogged and narrow, restricting blood flow. This could eventually lead to a heart attack, which occurs when heart muscle is not the getting oxygen it needs.

Symptoms of heart disease include the following:

Breathing Difficulty * Chest Pain * Shortness of Breath * Racing Sensation in the Chest * Dizziness * Weakness * Fatigue

If you experience these heart disease symptoms, make sure you see a physician right away.

What causes heart disease and what is an alternative treatment for heart disease?

Heart disease is caused by a variety of factors, many of which you can control. Let's review the main causes of heart disease and how you can prevent and treat heart disease with natural alternatives.

1. One of the main causes of heart disease is smoking. Second-hand smoke is also a cause. Quitting smoking is a big step toward preventing and reversing heart problems.

2. Perhaps one of the most well-known causes of heart disease is high cholesterol, specifically the bad or LDL cholesterol. There are prescription medications called statins that can lower cholesterol, but they could have very serious side effects. We recommend an alternative cholesterol lowering formula with natural ingredients such as policosanol, green tea, olive leaf and other nutrients that can lower your cholesterol and strengthen heart muscle. These ingredients have been shown to be safer than prescription cholesterol drugs.

3. Poor dietary habits can certainly lead to heart disease. You can significantly reduce your chances of developing heart disease as well as reverse damage by following a few simple rules:

A) Reduce your intake of trans fats found in margarine and spreads and hydrogenated oils found in processed and refined foods. Stay away from fried and fast foods.

B) Add fiber to your diet, fruits and vegetables (mainly green leafy ones).

C) Use extra virgin olive oil and garlic in your cooking...both have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol.

D) You should definitely add Omega 3 essential fatty acids to your diet. A good source of these are flax oil and cod liver oil. Even better perhaps is Omega 3 Fish Oil which contains two essential fatty acids, DHA and EPA, which have been recently shown to significantly improve heart health.

E) Unfortunately with today's processing methods, most of the important nutrients in the foods we eat are depleted or removed altogether. So unless you follow a strict diet of organic foods harvested in the finest environments which are delivered fresh to your door daily (we didn't think so), it makes sense to supplement all of the important nutrients your body needs to function properly.

We have been taking a supplement with all of these important nutrients for over a year as our core nutritional supplement. It is called Total Balance and it contains all natural vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants and other therapeutic nutrients your body needs to maintain proper heart function and strength as well as promote overall health and well-being.

4. Lack of exercise can also contribute to heart disease. Exercise is something that you must do in order to avoid heart problems as well as other health issues. Most important is aerobic exercise (running, biking, swimming, etc.) that increases your heart rate and facilitates circulation. When your heart rate is increasing you are producing more of the oxygen your cells need to function properly. Stretching and strength training are also important for maintaining muscle health and flexibility.

Therefore a regular exercise regimen with a mix of aerobic exercise and strength training, along with stretching is an essential part of preventing heart problems.

Alternative Treatment for Heart Disease - Final Thoughts

An alternative treatment for heart disease includes natural supplements that can help prevent and cure the various manifestations of heart problems that can arise.

An alternative treatment for heart disease can include health supplements that can lower cholesterol levels, a main cause of heart problems. Natural cholesterol lowering ingredients are safer than cholesterol medications.

Other alternative treatments for heart disease can include fish oil supplements which have been shown recently to be significantly beneficial to proper heart function.

Lastly, a nutritional supplement with all of the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants needed to promote heart strength and prevent heart disease and other illnesses can also be very beneficial to your overall health.


As with all health supplements, please be sure to consult a physician or qualified medical professional before taking any alternative treatment for heart disease or other alternative treatments. In some cases prescription medications may be a necessary option for you, and only a professional can determine this.
