⏭️ FAST FACTS
👉 Ang atherosclerosis amo ang pag gamay sang alagyan sang dugo sa mga arteries bangud sa pag tubo kag pag bara sang mga fatty deposits.
👉 Samtang naga edad ang tawo, ang fats, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium kag fibrin (isa ka clotting material sa dugo) ang naga collect sa mga arteries kag naga porma sang plaque.
👉 Ini nga mga plaque ang naga apekto sa blood flow sa heart, brain, pelvis, arms, legs, kag kidneys.
👉 Ang plaque ang naga dislodge or break off kag ini ang naga cause sang blood clot.
Untreated atherosclerosis ang pwedi mag resulta sa heart attack, stroke, kag heart failure.
📎 DISEASE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ATHEROSCLEROSIS
📌 Coronary heart disease (plaque in arteries in or leading to the heart)
📌 Angina (chest pain from reduced blood flow to the heart muscle)
📌 Carotid artery disease (plaque in neck arteries supplying blood to the brain)
📌 Peripheral artery disease, or PAD (plaque in arteries of the extremities, especially the legs)
📌 Chronic kidney disease
📎 2 THREATS TO LIFE
1️⃣ Kun mag break off ang plaque, ini ang maga upod sa bloodstream tubtob nga ini ang mag stuck up sa magamay nga alagyan sang ugat kag mag gutok.
2️⃣ Ang plaque ang possible man nga mag form sang blood clot (thrombus) kag ini ang maga pilit sa inner wall sang blood vessels
👉 With either case, ang artery ang ma blocked kag maga pugong sa pag labay sang dugo.
👉 (two components sang thrombus: aggregated platelets kag red blood cells nga naga porma sang isa ka plug, and a mesh of cross-linked fibrin protein)
📎 HOW IT STARTS AND HOW IT PROGRESSES
👉 Ang atherosclerosis ang isa ka progressive disease nga naga sugod during childhood years.
👉 May yara tawo nga ang atherosclerosis ang rapidly naga progress sa edad nga 30 pataas.
👉 Sa iban nga tawo, ini ang indi delikado until sa edad nga 50 ukon 60 pataas.
👉 Suno sa mga scientists, ang plaque ang naga sugod sa inner lining sang artery (endothelium) kun ini ang ma damaged bangud sa masunod nga mga rason
👉 high levels of cholesterol kag triglycerides
👉 high blood pressure
👉 cigarette smoking (accelerates growth of plaque)
📎 HOW TO PREVENT ATHEROSCLEROSIS
📌 Ang American Heart Association (AHA) ang naga recomendar sang mga masunod nga healthy diet:
📍 a wide range of fruits and vegetables
📍 whole grains
📍 low-fat dairy products
📍 poultry and fish, without skin
📍 nuts and legumes
📍 non-tropical vegetable oils, such as olive or sunflower oil
📍 Avoid foods and drinks with added sugar, such as sugar-sweetened beverages, candy, and desserts.
📌 The AHA recommends no more than 6 teaspoons or 100 calories of sugar a day for most women, and no more than 9 teaspoons or 150 calories a day for most men.
📍 Avoid foods high in salt.
📍 Aim to have no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium per day. Ideally, you’d consume no more than 1,500 mg a day.
📍 Avoid foods high in unhealthy fats, such as trans fats. Replace them with unsaturated fats.
📎 SYMPTOMS OF ATHEROSCLERIS
📍 chest pain or angina
📍 pain in your leg, arm, and anywhere else that has a blocked artery
📍 shortness of breath
📍 fatigue
📍 confusion, which occurs if the blockage affects circulation to your brain
📍 muscle weakness in your legs from lack of circulation
📎 SYMPTOMS OF A HEART ATTACK
📍 chest pain or discomfort
📍 pain in the shoulders, back, neck, arms, and jaw
📍 abdominal pain
📍 shortness of breath
📍 perspiration
📍 lightheadedness
📍 nausea or vomiting
📍 a sense of impending doom
📎 SYMPTOMS OF STROKE
📍 weakness or numbness in the face or limbs
📍 trouble speaking
📍 trouble understanding speech
📍 vision problems
📍 loss of balance
📍 sudden, severe headache
✔️ Ang atherosclerosis ang common nga problem associated with aging. Apang ini ang preventable paagi sa husto nga pagkaon kag pag inom sang food supplements.
✔️ DON’T DIE YOUNG. STOP ATHEROSCLEROSIS BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE. TAKE THE FORMIDABLE TRIO
☑️ DTX500
💊 Natural and synthetic antioxidants facilitate atherosclerosis treatment through a variety of mechanisms, including the inhibition of LDL oxidation, the reduction of generated reactive oxygen species, the inhibition of cytokine secretion, the prevention of atherosclerotic plaque formation and platelet aggregation
💊 Antioxidant therapy may inhibit atherosclerosis and thereby prevent the clinical complications of the disease such as Coronary Arterial Disease, and in particular, Myocardial Infarction.
💊 In healthy individuals, antioxidants protect components of the body against free-radical damage.
☑️ MIGHTY CEE
💊 Alkaline vitamin C prevents the oxidation of LDL.
💊 LDL oxidation results to atherosclerosis.
Vitamin C can greatly reduce cardiovascular risk
☑️ D3BIO
💊 Several epidemiological studies have suggested that individuals with low blood levels of vitamin D have increased risks of heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and diabetes.
