Greenberg - Exercises for healing joints, heart and blood vessels

Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease characterized by vascular wall damage. The disease is based on disorders of protein and cholesterol metabolism. There is atherosclerosis in that the vascular wall is impregnated with proteins and lipids followed by the development of reactive changes around these deposits.

It is a chronic disease of the arteries, gradually leading to a narrowing of their internal size. As a result, blood flow through the artery is difficult. This means that the blood flow through the artery of the intensive organ in the event of atherosclerosis in it becomes insufficient, which significantly limits the functional capabilities of the organ. Most of atherosclerosis is observed in people who are exposed to frequent and prolonged stress. Promote the development of atherosclerosis and diabetes, obesity, gout, gallstone disease and some features of the human character (anxiety, sensitivity, shyness, etc.). But sometimes the predisposition to the occurrence of atherosclerosis can be hereditary. In the areas affected by atherosclerosis, the arterial wall, together with scar tissue cells, always detect accumulations of cholesterol. In the human body, cholesterol is part of protein compounds that easily penetrate the vascular wall. A factor that accelerates the course of the disease is an increase in serum cholesterol concentrations.

It is generally believed that atherosclerosis is akin to a sentence irreversible and inevitable. However, this is far from the case. Atherosclerosis can undergo reverse development! In this case, cholesterol comes out of the arteries, dissolves, and the damaged areas in the vascular wall heal. Sometimes damaged vessels are fully repaired. Therefore, "getting a diagnosis" should not give up, you need to act. But, of course, to act correctly and carefully, remembering that in treatment should be followed the measure. Changes in the vascular wall occur as a result of disorders in the functioning of complex nervous, hormonal and other biochemical mechanisms that control the activity of the human cardiovascular system. The breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms occurs at natural, but unbearable loads for them. Disruption of normal nervous regulatory function occurs under the influence, first of all environmental factors: intense pace of life, noise, certain specific working conditions, etc.

In addition, factors contributing to the emergence and development of atherosclerosis, and therefore coronary heart disease, are, as mentioned, sedentary lifestyle, excessive diet with a lot of fats and carbohydrates, disruption of vitamin and micronutrient balance of food, smoking, excess weight. Fullness, among other things, generates an increase in the concentration of fats in the blood and liver, which already makes it difficult to dissolve atherosclerotic deposits (plaques) and, conversely, contributes to their accumulation. Its often atherosclerosis develops in the coronary arteries of the heart and damage them. The disease, caused by coronary artery disease, is considered to be independent and is called coronary heart disease. The disease develops slowly, sometimes for decades. Atherosclerosis is characterized by a wave-like course: periods of exacerbation of the disease are accompanied by periods of calm - remission.
