Cardiovascular Disease:
Cardio vascular disease: The silent killer. It is the leading cause of illness and death in North America. Effecting over 60% of adults over the age of 65. Hypertension is at the top. I am sure you know of a loved one or friend who may be on blood pressure medications. But what cause this:
Hardening of arteries (Atherosclerosis): Over time the pliability and smoothness of the blood vessels over time diminish as we age. This is from the accumulation of build up of plaque in the blood vessels that transport oxygen to keep are body working. Think of it a hose in your car’s cooling system. Over time the part wears out due to mileage and build up. Our blood vessels are no different. The heart and it’s magnificent network is always adapting to meet the demands for the body. When there is resistance, the heart needs to work harder to maintain the work load. Just like with your car, these networks must be maintained to work efficiently. Atherosclerosis is the beginning of a long list of other diseases that manifest from plaque build up. Diseases like coronary artery disease, heart attack, stroke, limb pain and numbness, aneurysms, and chronic kidney disease are some examples of common effects of atherosclerosis.
What can I do if I have these symptoms?
Consultation: It usually starts with you primary care provider. He or she will be able to start you on a plan to reduce the symptoms and devise a plan to improve your condition. Sometimes a cardiologist is involved for a more specific approach to your condition.
Exercise: This, along with diet is a key component. Think of it as “pressure washing the plaque from the blood vessels.” Exercise is a natural way of increasing blood flow. With this increase in blood flow the heart to pumps more blood thorough the vessels to essentially break up the plaque, causing less resistance in blood flow in the vessels. When these channels open up, less pressure is put on the blood vessels that reduce blood pressure and improve circulation.
Diet: Have you ever heard of the expression, “You are what you eat?’ Maintaining a diet that consists of lean proteins, vegetable, fruits on the lower glycemic index, and most importantly reducing the consumption of processed foods are they key to making a significant change. It’s our lifestyles in my opinion that get us into this mess. To make a significant change, we need to start with our daily habits. Now, I am not saying that you need totally give up the foods we really enjoy. However, I believe in enjoying them on occasion. Just do not have them at every meal.
Sleep: As we age we notice that we do not need as much sleep as we used to. It comes with years of adaptation to our circadian rhythm. However, sleep is vital in regards to managing our bodies hormones, and repair and maintenance of blood vessels. If you feel tired, irritable, or anxious. Have episodes of elevated heart rate, chances are, your body might be telling you that you are not getting enough sleep. According to the North American College of Cardiology, individuals with insomnia are up to 41% more likely to have cardiac disease.
Stress reduction and weight management: Stress triggers the hormones adrenaline and cortisol. This causes increased heart rate and restriction on blood vessels. Over time, chronic stress causes inflammation in the heart, which cause increased plaque build up. Sometimes theses moments of elevated stress are hard to control. However, depending our our situations, there are solutions to manage your stress. Meditation, recreation, breathing exercises, yoga, socializing are all good ways to manage it. The key here is not letting the situation control you and finding a strategies to feel calm and in control. Weight management in my opinion is a by product of poor diet, sleep, and stress. So doing what I have stated above usually helps with weight management. However, some people have other factors that contribute outside the ones I have mentioned. Thus, consulting with your primary provider is an important first step in devising a plan to weight management.
In my 25 years of working with clients and patients, I have concluded that it takes a village to take care of people. What I mean by that is it is a collaborative effort by each individual involved in the consultation process.

They prioritize manageable, evidence‑based movement, teach recovery strategies, and build community — so participants gain physical benefits and confidence in routines and social accountability.
