The Start of Heart Disease Occurs Much Before We Actually Expect it to Start
It is important to realize that the start of heart disease begins much earlier than you and I may have thought it would.
Cardiovascular diseases are major killers and in fact in the US they are the top ranked killers.
Even in the rest of the world, there is no worse ailment than that which is related to the heart.
This can be seen from the fact that currently (in the US) one in three deaths is being caused by cardiovascular problems.
The most common perception among most people, no matter which part of the world they live in, is that the start of heart disease occurs when a person becomes quite old and that young people have nothing to worry about on this account.
They could not be more wrong.
Almost eighty percent of Americans actually believe that the start of heart disease takes place when people are in their middle age.
The plain (and brutal) truth is that this is not the case because the problem actually begins during childhood.
Today, at a very young age, children are becoming overweight and obese and are suffering from ailments such as diabetes.
Such factors show that a growing number of children are predisposed to suffering from cardiovascular ailments when they grow up.
It is not uncommon to notice that young children have at a very young age already started to suffer from buildup of plaque in their arteries.
This can lead to two things: they can become more at risk of heart ailments and they can also suffer from this at a very young age.
This can be seen from figures that show that eight percent of children in the age group of 2 and 15, 30 percent of children aged between 16 and 20 and half of people aged between 21 and 25 and sixty nine percent of people aged between 26 and 39 suffered from plaque buildup in the coronary arteries.
All these people never showed signs of any noticeable heart disease symptom but their arteries were being clogged up with plaque.
It is therefore easy to conclude that the start of heart disease can occur even when a person is merely two years old.
It is also easy to conclude that in order to prevent such problems, we need to make commitments (long term) to pick and choose only those items of food that are healthy and nutritionally rich.
Doing so can help you prevent the start of heart disease.
