Ask your doctor

Q.I have coronary arteries.Is it something that I may have healed or lost, or prevent it getting so worse?

IN.If you have the Gumption to make major changes in your lifestyle, you can actually run the coronary artery disorder.

Some of the best proof that coronary artery disease is reversible comes from autopsy that is performed on people who have experienced long -term hunger periods during the Second World War.and diets "improved", atherosclerosis of the Atheroscloth.

The development ofStatinsOffers more easily the possibility of turning coronary artery disease.But studies of intensive cholesterol that lower statins have produced mixed results - atherosclerosis can fall into one area, but continues to grow in the other anyway.Lower the ratesHeart attacksInfry. The does this by reducing the amount of liquid fat in the plaque, by stabilizing the coverage over it and so calm downinflammationThe dryer plates with harder, more fiber -like caps are less likely to break open and cause heart attacks.

To try to clean your arteries, look at the program recommended by Dr.Dean Ornish.Disse includes his "reversal diet" (one for the most partvegetarianDiet that supplies no more than 10% of the calories of fat and less than 5 mg of cholesterol per day), daily exercise, stress management and group support.Small quantity in the group after these changes compared to an increase in plaque in a control group.

If you decide to try one of these approaches, I would recommend doing this in addition to taking a statin and low dose of aspirin (with your doctor okay, of course).Probably never disappear.
