Can you reverse unhealthy eating habits from the past?

In the past, you may have been indulging in junk food far too often or even tried out a fad diet and may be wondering if there is a way for you to undo the effects these unhealthy habits had on your body, as they may have clogged your arteries. Some studies have found that it is possible to reverse clogged arteries, however, the changes that would have to be made to do so are harder than what many people can handle. Instead of setting this as your goal, which is not a very realistic goal, you should focus your efforts on trying to prevent the progression of clogged arteries which in the long run can prevent heart disease. This is a much more attainable goal and you can do so by changing your lifestyle with simple habits:

• Eating a well-balanced diet is one of the most important changes you can make. The Mediterranean diet is high in vegetables, fruits, nuts, whole grains, seafood, and has been associated with reduced risk of heart disease.
• You should also check your cholesterol levels, and if they are high you should take action by speaking to your physician and asking what you can do to lower your levels.
• Maintaining a healthy blood pressure, and weight is also very important to prevent cardiovascular disease.

If you maybe overindulged in junk food in your younger days, or simply want to take precautions to prevent heart disease, you may want to give these lifestyle changes a try. Take Control of your Health at www.HealthOneLabs.com where you can order your own discount online blood lab tests.
