Heart Disease Prevention Starts By Lowering C Reactive Protein Levels

Most people know that high blood pressure and high cholesterol can cause heart disease but few are aware of C-reactive protein. C-reactive protein is a plasma protein that is produced by the liver. Research now suggests that elevated levels of C-reactive protein levels will increase the risk of heart disease. Studies show that people with a high risk of heart disease or have already had a stroke or heart attack would benefit from having their C-reactive protein levels checked. The test could show if a stroke or heart attack is immanent and steps can be taken to prevent or reduce the risk. Ask your doctor if your levels should be tested. If you are found to have elevated levels of the C-reactive protein, there are natural ways to bring those levels down, such as enzyme therapy (see studies - The End of Heart Disease and Arthritis).

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in men and women. Nearly one million Americans die of heart disease each year. This makes up 42% of all deaths. Heart disease does not just kill the elderly, it is the leading cause of death of all Americans age 35 and older. Though some risk factors can’t be changed, such as family history, age and race, there are some preventative steps that can be taken.

DON’T SMOKE- If you smoke, quit. Quitting smoking is the top preventative measure that can be taken to reduce the risk of heart disease. Tobacco is contains more then 4800 chemicals that can damage the heart and blood vessels. Women who smoke while taking birth control are more likely to have a heart attack then those that do not smoke. This risk increases with age especially after the age of 35.

BECOME ACTIVE - Regular moderate exercise can reduce the risk of heart disease by 25%. Regular exercise helps to lower the risk of heart disease by increasing the body’s blood flow.

EAT HEALTHY - By reducing the intake of fat and increasing your intake of fruits, vegetables and grains, you can help reduce the risk of heart disease and lower your cholesterol levels. Eating fish that is high in Omega 3 fatty acids helps reduce risk of heart disease as well as lower blood pressure.

MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT - As we get older we gain weight but maintaining a healthy weight we can keep high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes at bay. Also by maintaining a healthy weight you make sure that unneeded stress is not being put on you heart.

GET REGULAR SCREENINGS - Because high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes can go undetected without screenings it is very important to schedule screenings to catch any of these as early as possible.

Though there are tests for early detection and treatment of heart disease such as the test for CRP. The most effective treatment is the preventative steps that each person can take to reduce the risks to themselves. Follow the exact steps as previously listed. The same steps that are described previously are the same steps that can help reduce CRP levels. Americans also need to start teaching the upcoming generations how to eat properly, exercise and stay away from tobacco products.
