Arterial narrowing- a fatal disease
Coronary arteries disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque, which in
turn results in Arterial Narrowing, thus blocking the free flow of blood to the
heart. The plaque is formed due to the presence of too much cholesterol,
fibrous tissue, calcium and dead cells in the arteries, which causes the
blockade. The Coronary Arteries disease is the most common type life-
threatening heart ailment, which causes the death of most number of males
and females around the world due to Arterial narrowing.
Symptoms of Coronary Arteries(artères coronaires) disease includes chest
pain called angina, which is felt on various part of the chest, pain in abdomen,
back or arm, fatigue during any kind of activities and shortage of breath even
when the patient is not doing any kind of activities. Mainly the causes for the
Coronary disease are high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, over
weight and also for smoking and consuming alcohol, which causes the Arterial
Narrowing and sometimes the results can be fatal as well.
Coronary arteries disease can be identified by conducting an electrocardiogram
(EKG), which tracks the electric impulses, that travels towards the heart and
measure whether there are any irregularities in its function. By using sound
waves, EKG gets the picture of the heart to spot any blocked arteries.
However, there are certain precautions one should follow at home to prevent
Arterial narrowing(le rétrécissement artériel).
The first vital thing is to have a check on your food habits. You should avoid
high cholesterol food, Trans fat, saturated fats, animal products, dairy
products. Discard all kinds of junk food, processed food and deep-fried items
from your diet. Instead, include lots of vegetables, fruits, olive oil, fish, seeds,
and whole grains in your daily diet chart. Exercise is very important side-by-
side following a healthy diet. You should exercise daily not only to keep your
heart healthy but also to shed that extra pounds. You should quit smoking
because it is not only injurious to health but also takes a huge toll on your
heart. You can drink alcohol occasionally but in that case, the quantity should
be absolute minimum.
However, besides following a healthy diet, you can go for natural supplements,
which contains fish oil, natural cholesterol supplements, folic acid and vitamin
B supplements as they can work wonders for your health. Nevertheless, make
sure one thing that theses supplements are from renowned brands of products.
Besides these home remedies, there are medical treatments and surgeries to
cure Arterial narrowing like bypass surgery and angioplasty.
Arterial problems - risk your health

3. When the blood vessels narrow down because of accumulation of fatty deposits
it leads to arterial problems. As your arteries harden blood flow to the brain
gets restricted. You suffer from cardio-vascular problems which puts your life
at high risk. To escape from this condition you need early detection and
subsequent treatment. However early detection is only possible when you
experience symptoms that signify that your arteries are having problems but
more than that you must be aware about those symptoms.
First of all you should know that there are no specific symptoms but only
warning signs which tell you that your arteries might be blocked. You may
experience attacks which medical practitioners term as mini strokes. These
mini strokes warn you that a major stroke is on the way. This is the time that
you should approach a doctor for diagnosis.
Usually a normal check up can unravel the truth whether you are having
arterial problems (problèmes artériels)or not. The doctor uses his
stethoscope to determine or diagnose the problem. However this form of test
may not be accurate so for better confirmation diagnostic tools like Doppler
Ultrasound Imaging are used. By means of sound waves blood flow is tested
and the thickness of arteries is measured.
Nowadays people are very conscious about their health and take pains to
remove impurities from the body by means of natural supplements. Essence of
grapefruit is one such natural product which has many health benefits. There
are lots of unwanted substances in the body and you can eliminate these with
the help of an anti-oxidant. Grapefruit has anti oxidant properties and

The human body needs periodic detoxification to get rid of impurities and
toxins. Essence of grapefruit(essence de pamplemousse) helps to detoxify
your body from inside out. Moreover being a diuretic it promotes urination.

Blocking the Blood Flow of the Heart
Our lifestyles are full of so many things which seem to be normal to us but
actually they are stressing on us and we tend to realize this only after they
take extreme shape in our bodies. Diseases like cancer only happen due to the
irritation of some particular area in the body but we never realize it in the
initial stage, it’s only after some time has passed and there has some kind of
stage which has taken shape, it occurs and this is a very traumatic experience.

4. There is one more thing which is not very prominent when it is starting to
appear in the body but it is noticeable only after there are the heart attacks or
the heart pains or a burning sensation in the heart. Some of the disease of
arterial narrowing (le rétrécissement artériel)of the body is known as the
Atherosclerosis.
In this type of the disease it is very common scene where the blood to the
heart does go in a smooth flow as there is swelling in the arteries which carry
the blood to heart and thus it leads to pain or the discomfort in the heart and
its state. There are many names of this disease like it is also called ASVD
which is arteriosclerotic vascular disease. The reason behind thickening of the
artery wall is the deposit of the fatty material such as cholesterol and thus as
this stuff gets roomed there, the blood flow gets hindered and that is where
the whole disorder starts.
It is not the scenario that the disease occurs in people of the elder age only,
the case is that it occurs in all the age groups that is it also seen that the
teenage kids have seen noticeable cases of this disease and hence it does limit
up to only the old age group of the early fifties of the age group. Hence we
have make sure that we don’t exceed the required amount of cholesterol in the
body otherwise it will lead to such diseases which can also take a very shape in
your life and sometimes in extreme cases; it takes away the life of the person
too. So be concerned about what you eat and what could be the cholesterol
content in it as it could block your coronary arteries(artères coronaires)
which supply blood to the heart.
Taking care of heart with heart and soul
Heart is important in almost all the matters. Putting heart and soul into
something will produce desired results. When heart melts, things take positive
turn. When you are living in the heart of the city, you are located at the most
strategical place. You feel empathetic to someone when your heart goes for
him/ her. We use heart for every small thing and also for every important
thing. It is the most vital organ of our body after brain. It is the pumping
station for supplying blood to every part of our body. It is just as big as your
fist yet has the strength to push blood flow to the tip and toe of body. Arteries,
the strong veins, support heart in this act. They are the pipeline to and from
the heart. They are made of thin yet strong tissues. Sometimes due to
accumulation of fats, development of fibrous tissues thin walls of arteries
become thick and their efficiency is reduced.
This plaque thickens the artery walls and affects blood supply to various body
parts, eventually hampering the efficiency of those parts. Hereditary and age
factor plays important role in developing the arterial problems(problèmes
artériels). Elders are more prone to such chronic diseases. But hectic and
stressful lifestyle, wrong dietary habits, less physical excursion in the form of
exercise, kids not playing outdoor games invite these diseases at very early
stage.

5. These problems are very much damaging to body. Prevention is always better
than cure. One can do just the opposite of the causes to prevent these
problems. Eating right, following daily exercise routine, meditating and
learning to deal with stress effectively are some key points to remember in
fighting against accumulation of plaque in artery. Consuming raw fruits and
vegetables are known for improving the overall health. There are various fruits
having special properties to fight against particular problems like grapefruit has
potential to help in overcoming the heart problems. It is a citrus fruit and is
rich in contains of vitamin C. Consuming grapefruits regularly can have good
effect on curing heart related problems. Many people find it troublesome
peeling the fruit and eating it, science has developed a nectar in the form of
essence of grapefruit(essence de pamplemousse), which has all the good
properties of this fruit yet saves you from the time consuming and tedious
efforts as well as lets you have the benefits. But it is recommended to consult
your doctor beforehand.
