\"OmegaFor many years, fat consumption was associated with increased risk of getting atherosclerosis or other circulatory diseases. Now it turns out, however, that fat consumption is essential for maintaining health \u2013 and we\u2019re talking about both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.<\/p>\n

Fats \u2013 as long as they\u2019re not processed trans fats \u2013 regulate functioning of the hormonal and immune system, support functioning of heart and blood vessels, strengthen bones and joints as well as regulate functioning of the nervous system. The ones especially important for health are the omega 3 fatty acids<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Atherosclerosis \u2013 a 21th century disease of affluence<\/h2>\n

Atherosclerosis is one of the most diagnosed diseases that affect people of increasingly young age.<\/p>\n

The main risk factors for developing atherosclerosis are:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 smoking
\n\u2013 being overweight or obese
\n\u2013 consuming too much of carbohydrates and trans fats
\n\u2013 high blood cholesterol level
\n\u2013 hypertension
\n\u2013 high homocysteine level<\/p>\n

The development of atherosclerosis is slow and sneaky \u2013 first there are so-called atherosclerotic plaques growing on the walls of blood vessels, and once they pop \u2013 there are clots forming on their surfaces. They tighten the vessels and block the blood flow to important organs \u2013 which might lead to a heart attack or a stroke.<\/p>\n

Omega 3 fats might prevent development of atherosclerosis. They have anti-inflammatory properties, which allows them to minimize creation of the atherosclerotic plaques and prevent creation of clots. They ensure elasticity of blood vessel walls, which allows them to normalize the blood pressure. On top of that, omega 3 have a positive impact on the level of triglycerides and cholesterol in blood, and regulate functioning of the heart. They also support functioning of the brain, ensure the body\u2019s immunity, and regulate the hormonal balance.<\/p>\n

How to take care of the heart?<\/h2>\n

If you want to limit the development of atherosclerosis, hypertension, minimize the risk of the coronary heart disease or a heart attack \u2013 it is necessary to develop several healthy habits. Start by getting rid of the excess weight, be active regularly \u2013 just about a dozen of minutes of moderate physical activity a day can strengthen the heart. Avoid stress, make sure to get enough sleep.<\/p>\n

Change your diet to a healthier one:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 avoid sugar and trans fats, the most of which is in chips, fast food or fried dishes
\n\u2013 eat a lot of fiber
\n\u2013 add vegetables to every meal, as they contain valuable vitamins, minerals and antioxidants
\n\u2013 eat food that is as unprocessed as possible
\n\u2013 supplement vitamin D3+K2<\/a>, magnesium and omega 3 acids<\/p>\n

If you take care of preventing heart diseases soon enough \u2013 it is very likely that you will avoid serious illnesses and enjoy much better health for a long time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
