Cardiac Care
Heart disease, the leading killer for both men and women is largely preventable if caught and treated early. A study conducted by Dean Ornish, investigating the effects of lifestyle changes in patients with atherosclerosis (the buildup of fatty, cholesterol-rich plaque in the arteries) found that after only one year of following lifestyle recommendations, about 80% of participants were able bring about plaque regression and avoid surgery without the use of lipid lowering agents.
How does Naturopathy help in Cardiac Care?
Naturopathy aims at preventing and treating cardiovascular disease by identifying the underlying causes of it. Several studies have noted plaque regression, better circulation and oxygen supply, better heart rate variability, reduction of risk factors, and even prevention of an attack by just adopting a better lifestyle. It also works by correcting endothelial dysfunction caused by lifestyle factors including tobacco use, obesity, age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, physical inactivity, and poor diet.
