Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in many countries around the world. To protect health and prevent this disease, each person needs to avoid the following misconceptions.
Women have higher mortality rates and worse prognosis after acute cardiovascular events (illustrative photo)
Young people will not get sick.
Heart disease is common in people over 65, but 4-10% of heart attacks occur in people under 45. According to experts, a healthy lifestyle when young is the way to prevent heart disease when older. For example, a diet high in trans fats and smoking increase the risk of heart disease in old age.
Taking cholesterol-lowering medication can eat favorite foods
Some medications, such as statins, help lower blood cholesterol levels. However, this does not mean that a person taking statins can eat foods containing saturated fat. Cholesterol is either consumed in the foods you eat or produced in the liver. Statins block an enzyme in the liver needed to produce cholesterol, which reduces overall blood cholesterol levels. However, this means that ingested cholesterol can still enter the bloodstream. An unhealthy diet increases the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Vitamins prevent heart disease
Most vitamins, taken at recommended doses, are not harmful to heart health. However, there is no evidence that vitamin supplements can reduce the risk of heart disease. Nutrients are not a substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise. Health professionals may prescribe vitamin or mineral supplements for a variety of reasons, but do not recommend that people take multivitamins to help prevent heart disease.
The disease only affects men.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in both men and women. Men tend to develop cardiovascular disease at an earlier age than women and are at higher risk of coronary heart disease. However, women are at higher risk of stroke. They also have higher mortality and worse prognosis after an acute cardiovascular event.
Heart patients should avoid all fats.
People with heart disease should reduce their intake of saturated fat, which is found in foods like cookies, bacon, and sausages. However, unsaturated fats may have health benefits. Some evidence suggests that omega-3, an unsaturated fat, may protect heart health.
