Amreican Heart Association

CArdiovascular disease is a disease that has to deal with the heart. This disease is when you have heartattacks and strokes. HEart disease and strkes are the leading cause of death in the united states the website http://www.healingwithnutrition.com/cdisease/cardiovascular/cardiovascular.html.  It also says that every thirty seconds, someone dies from heart problems and diseases. It states that 1million americans die from heart disease each year. It also states that its is the one killer for all races for both men and women.

 A factor of heart disease is high blood pressure. High blood pressure is  part of heart disease because of the amount of blood pumped into the viens. High blood pressure is when plaque build up happens and also when excess fat build up. The heart has to pump more blood so that the body has enough to the main vital organs. IF this doesn't happen, then many organs won't receive much blood, so the heart will have to work harder and by working to hard, the result is a heart attack and potentially death.  Some doctors call high blood pressure "the Silent Killer" because that is the  most popular and most of the time the first symptom of heart disease or problems.


THe website also tells me about some prevention and treatment strategies. One major prevention storage is to not smoke. This is why many kids at a young age are taught to not do drugs and smoke. If then they don't smoke, then they don't get heart disease. Smoking can lead you to heart disease because the chemicals affect your heart and veins, and also by increasing the amount of work your heart does. Another way to try to prevent heart disease is to ec=xcercise at least 30 minutes a day. This is because if you do then you work your heart out everyday so that it doesn't get a lot of fat in your body and also that you stay healthy. It also shows that by exercising everyday can cause the work out your heart needs everyday.  Found at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/heart-disease-prevention/WO00041/NSECTIONGROUP=2.

My research was at the site of http://www.heart.org/HEARTORG/. 
The website tells me a lot about the heart association and telling me how they are trying to prevent people from getting heart disease. It tells me about how race shouldn't affect the reasons why you get heart disease.  It also says that a good diet and healthy habits help you prevent yourself from getting a heart attack. Also stress can help you get a heart attack. Weight is also a big factor in heart attacks. It says that Losing weight takes a lot of effort but that in the end it is worth all the effort. Exercising also helps you stay healthy by having you emotionally and physically healthy.

By learning all of these facts, it tells me that heart disease is very deadly and harmful if i don't take scare of myself. It also shows how many people really do die because of heart disease and how some survivors are BARLEY SURVIVING. I also learned that many problems that regular americans have today can somehow be connected to heart disease, such as high blood pressure. I also learned what i can do to make sure i don't get cardiovascular disease and to prevent it.
