That is a very easy thing to say for a non-smoker. But, if you happen to be a smoker who enjoys his hourly cigarette, you can hardly conceive that a peaceful activity such as smoking a cigarette on your patio chair can have such bad or harmful effects. These effects lead to smoking-induced diseases like coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease) and others. You may wonder if there is any truth to this saying that smoking cigarettes, smoking cigars or smoking pipe harms your arteries, jeopardizes your cardiovascular health and may cause heart attacks and death. Just what are the data and the evidence on WHY and HOW smoking is harmful to coronary health? In order to find out, we will first take a look at how CHD and heart attacks develop, then we will look at the physiological and biochemical effects of smoke and, finally, we will confirm the data with numbers from "Meta" epidemiological studies. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm#11 Caring for diabetes is a constant preoccupation for those who have been diagnosed with one form of the disease. However, the results they achieve can sometimes vary wildly. One morning, blood glucose measures at 115 mg/dL (6.4 mmol/L), and the next morning it is at 203 mg/dL (11.3 mmol/L) ! This can be very frustrating to both old-time or newly diagnosed diabetics. Some very famous professional athletes have achieved great success despite the fact that they are diabetics. They, of course, have mastered their condition. In order to do so, they have come to know the very nature of their ailment, They have a good knowledge of just what is diabetes. Having figured out how diabetes works (its physiology), they can now master it with great success. Actually, their performance is superior to that of the general population. A good knowledge of the basics of diabetes will go a long way in improving a diabetic's ability to manage the disease. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm#12 Diabetes and CHD are definitely not the same disease, but there are a few important facts one should be aware of.

They first describe the type of foods to choose and then introduce the concept of meal planning. They later explain some blood sugar control tools, such as exchange lists, carbohydrates counting and the glycemic index. The article ends with a list of relevant pages providing authoritative information on diet and the control of blood sugar. http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm#19 Do You Need to Take Some Steps to Prevent Diabetes? - Diabetes Risk Calculator - The American Diabetes Association http://www.cdc.gov/HeartDisease/prevention.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.cdc.gov/HeartDisease/prevention.htm#20 This thorough 3-page presentation is an excellent overview of the coronary heart disease basics. It is more than a definition of CHD in that it undertakes to explain the common symptoms of CHD such as angina and also the other possible symptoms. It defines what constitutes a heart attack. The article explains what causes coronary heart diseases: the development of atherosclerosis. It also describes the other common forms of heart disease: Infection induced, congenital and cardiomyopathy. Finally it covers the risk factors for CHD, such as age, gender, genes, background, diabetes, weight activity level, blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking and even explains elevated homocysteine levels http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.heartmonitron.com/hm_meddigest_journals_on_nutrition-_heart_and_diabetes-_cholesterol_and_healthy_weight_016.htm#21 You may have heard countless times that a reasonable level of exercise or physical activity was good for you. Just what is the evidence? In this Harvard study, 12,516 men were followed. The purpose was to examine the association or relationship between the quantity and intensity of physical activity with the risk for Coronary Heart Disease. It was found that the two were inversely related. Those people with a greater level of physical activity had the strongest reductions in CHD risk. The conclusions even extended or were valid for men with multiple risk factors. CAUTION: Speak with your doctor BEFORE embarking on an exercise program). http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/heart/aboutheart_index1.shtml Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/conditions/heart/aboutheart_index1.shtml#22 Physical Activity / Exercise and Diabetes (with note on the need for prior evaluation) - Source: Diabetes Care ( A Scientific Journal published by The American Diabetes Association) http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/102/9/975 Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/102/9/975#23 The specialists at the Mayo Clinic have toiled to produce a most relevant page on heart-healthy eating. They have succeeded. This page is very patient-oriented. It summarizes everything that a person ought to know about heart-healthy eating. While it recognizes that changing eating habits may be somewhat unsettling, it points out better choices. It recommends limiting unhealthy fats and cholesterol. To that effect, it presents a table of fats to choose and fats to avoid. It recommends lean protein sources and again provides a list of foods to choose or avoid. The Mayo Clinic recommends whole grains as a source of carbs and supplies a list of baked foods to choose and avoid. Basic? Yes. But most relevant! . http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/27/suppl_1/s58 Sat, 31 Jul 2010 17:51:30 GMT heartMonitron NGBeditor http://care.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/full/27/suppl_1/s58#24
