A coronary or heart disease happens because of some factors. These can be attributed to lifestyle, hereditary and medical reasons. Except for hereditary reasons, you can be in control of your heart situation and you can either make the condition better or worse. If you are interested in making your situation improve, it is important to first be aware of the coronary disease risk factors. More often than not, these are controllable and with a disciplined lifestyle, the risk can be reduced.
Personal factors
According to statistics, men are more prone to heart attacks. Although there are women who also suffer from coronary disease, most of them are older than 55. Men who are 65 and above can have higher risk of developing heart ailment. In terms of ethnic or racial background, it was found that Blacks have a higher hypertension incidence rate.
Knowing this, it is important to be more disciplined in terms of your diet and lifestyle if you are included in the high risk group.
Lifestyle factors
Smoking contributes to having a higher risk of coronary disease. In fact, it is the topmost risk factor not only for this illness but even for other serious chronic diseases like cancer and stroke. Drinking excessively is also a high risk and with uncontrolled drinking, the situation can be worse. Further, being used to high fat and high cholesterol diet increases the risk.
Hereditary Factors
Needless to say, when the family line has a history of heart ailments, the tendency is that this is transferred to the different generations. It is therefore important to know your family's ailment history. With this information, you will be able to take the necessary precautions to reduce the related risk of having the dreaded coronary disease.
Medical Factors
Existing medical conditions can influence the occurrence of heart illness. The more common illnesses are hypertension, rheumatic fever, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and congenital heart. People who are suffering from these medical conditions are more likely to develop coronary disease if the situation is not controlled.
Coronary disease can be avoided if you have the necessary discipline in your diet and lifestyle. Exercise and healthy eating habits are very simple to do and yet many people fail to implement these because of not taking the condition seriously.
The level of awareness of the risk factors is not high and before the right steps are taken, sometimes it becomes too late - the disease has already developed and correcting or curing it can become more difficult.
As always, prevention is better than cure. Identifying the risk factors, assessing them and doing something about these risks can help in saving a person from having a coronary disease that can lead to bigger problems in the future.
Also, stress levels should be considered as these also contribute to acquiring coronary disease. Thus, having a balanced life with well attended physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and psychological needs can free you from the dangers of this dreaded disease. It never chooses who will be the victim. With an undisciplined life, whether young or old, black or white, man or woman, thin or fat, coronary disease can be present. It is therefore important to examine your lifestyle and start reducing the risk.
