Diseases under the heart disease umbrella include blood vessel diseases, such as coronary artery disease; heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias); and heart defects you're born with (congenital heart defects), among others.The term "heart disease" is often used interchangeably with the term "cardiovascular disease." Cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart's muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease. Many forms of heart disease can be prevented or treated with healthy lifestyle choices.The specific foods that you eat are extremely important in regards to your heart health. You are what you eat they say. The food you eat will either make you healthier preventing and even treating disease...or if you eat the wrong foods it will cause and/or worsen disease. If your diet is made up of mostly unhealthy foods, your risk of heart disease, cancer, many other serious medical conditions and simply your risk of death at a younger age will be significantly higher.Hippocrates, the father of medicine once said over 2000 years ago "Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food." Even if your weight is normal, you exercise every day and your calorie intake is reasonable, having the wrong content of nutrients in your diet can still increase your risk of heart disease significantly.
