The heart is a muscle and, as such, can suffer injuries. Cardioprotection is the ability of the heart to protect itself from injury.
Components that help heart health are substances that can contribute to keeping the heart healthy and preventing cardiovascular diseases. Here are some examples
Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, they can reduce inflammation and improve cardiovascular health.
Dietary Fiber. Found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, it helps lower cholesterol and improve heart health.
Antioxidants. Such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and flavonoids, protect the heart from free radical damage.
Potassium. Found in bananas, potatoes, and spinach, it helps regulate blood pressure.
Magnesium. Found in green leafy vegetables, nuts, and seeds, it's important for heart health.
Coenzyme Q10. Helps in energy production in heart cells and has antioxidant properties.
Green Tea. Rich in catechins, it can improve cardiovascular health.
Garlic. Known for its properties that reduce blood pressure and cholesterol.
Oats. Contains beta-glucans that can help lower cholesterol.
Regular Physical Exercise. Essential for keeping the heart strong and improving blood circulation.
The defense passes through chemical and phytochemical remedies (plants that have cardioprotective properties).
Some examples of phytochemicals:
Astragalus polysaccharide
Astragalus membraneaceus
Alpinia zerumbet
Sativum Coriandrum
Aronia melanocarpa
Plinia cauliflora
Rheum turkestanicum Janisch
Paeoniflorin
Danshen
Mangiferin
Some examples of hormone:
Erythropoietin
Irisin
A few examples of amino acids:
Homoarginine
Some examples of flavonoids
Icariin
Hesperidin
Other components
Diallyl trisulfide
Components that can contribute to or exacerbate heart health issues include various factors that can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Here are some examples
Saturated and Trans Fats. Found in fried foods, packaged snacks, and some animal products, they can raise bad cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.
Salt (Sodium). Excessive consumption can raise blood pressure, a risk factor for heart disease.
Added Sugars. Found in sugary drinks and sweets, they can contribute to obesity and increase the risk of heart disease.
Fructose
Alcohol. Excessive consumption can damage the heart and raise blood pressure.
Cigarette Smoking. Increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Sedentary Lifestyle. Lack of physical activity is a significant risk factor for heart disease.
Chronic Stress. Can negatively affect heart health.
Obesity. Greatly increases the risk of heart disease.
Diet Low in Fruits and Vegetables. A diet lacking in essential nutrients can negatively affect heart health.
Lack of Sleep. Inadequate sleep can increase the risk of heart disease.
