Heart - fist-sized, muscular organ that circulates blood throughout the body. The body is supplied with oxygen, necessary materials and the removal of metabolic products. The heart has no rest, day and night, so very important to maintain proper performance. There are a variety of diseases and ailments related to heart and vascular system.
There are many reasons, namely:
Increased cholesterol.It accumulates on the walls of blood vessels, so it narrows and induced atherosclerosis, blood flow disturbances. Very high risk of coronary heart disease, particularly if high blood pressure.
Hypertension. If you do not treat high blood pressure, it can cause myocardial infarction, heart failure, atherosclerosis.
Elevated blood levels of glucose. This is a cause of diabetes. If we start treatment, it reduced the risk of coronary heart disease.
Smoking. Causes of heart failure.
Overweight. Increases blood pressure, complicates the work of the heart. There is a myocardial infarction, stroke causes.
Lack of physical activity. Overweight is increasing as we get more food calories than expended.
Plants acting on the heart, blood circulation and heart disease risk factors:
* Tansy flowers: slows down the heart, increases blood pressure;
* Lingonberry leaves: lower blood pressure;
* Garlic: lowers cholesterol, inhibits blood clotting, reduces arterial blood pressure;
* Nettle leaf: increasing hemoglobin levels (cases of anemia);
* Ginkgo leaves: dilates blood vessels, improve microcirculation, inhibits platelet aggregation and blood viscosity;
* Hawthorn leaves, flowers and fruit: strengthens the heart muscle, improves blood flow in coronary arteries, decreases heart rate, slightly lower blood pressure;
* Dill fruit: decreasing blood pressure;
* Melissa herb: dilates blood vessels, lowers blood pressure;
* Marsh grass bloom: increases blood clotting, lowers blood pressure;
* Parsley roots and fruits: increased blood clotting;
* Sea buckthorn fruit oil: reduces high-density cholesterol in plasma, prevents thrombus formation, atherosclerosis development.
