Arterial problems start with the hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis), where
the inner layer (intima) becomes thick due to the development of fibrous tissue
and accumulation of fat. Arterial problems(problèmes artériels) are mostly seen
in elders. There are many factors for which the hardening of the arteries occurs,
among them the most significant reasons are smoking, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol level, presence of diabetes.
Sometimes hereditary factors play an important role in the development of
atherosclerosis. High blood pressure combined with high cholesterol level poses a
greater threat in the occurrence of the disease. Hardening of arteries causes two
main types of Arterial problems. Firstly, it may cause swelling in the arteries
which results in bleeding or blood clotting in the arteries. Secondly, the hardening
of the artery causes them to become narrow or blocks them completely which in
turn gives rise to different complications. If the arteries in the brain are affected
then it can cause stroke and if the arteries of the heart is affected then it can
cause severe heart attack.
However besides the basic medicines and treatment some natural ingredients are
there to treat some serious diseases. Grapefruit extract is one of the most
important natural ingredients which contain some very important minerals which
in turn help to cure some serious health problems. Essence of grapefruit
(essence de pamplemousse) is very high as it acts as a natural and powerful
antibiotic by increasing the defense capacity of the organ. Grapefruit extract helps
to fight against fungal infections, bacterial diseases, parasites, internal health
problems, purifies the intestines and our body from toxic substances, and lowers
cholesterol levels. The Essence of grapefruit lies in the presence of useful
ingredients like essential minerals, phosphorus, potassium, iron, vitamin B, E, C,
amino acids etc.
Grapefruit extracts also helps to cure Arterial problems by cleaning the arteries
and blood vessels. Grapefruit extract also stimulates the blood circulation in our
heart. Any person suffering from vascular disorders can consume grapefruit
extract as a curing agent. Essence of grapefruit extract also helps to fight
gynecological problems as well. In case of allergies, grapefruit extract act as the
preventive mechanisms by blocking the release of histamines, which acts as a
catalyst in allergic reactions and also of prostaglandins, which causes swelling

as a cancer fighter, improves night visions etc. Therefore, the essence of
Grapefruit extract can be termed as one of the best gifts of nature holding in itself
numerous cures for severe health problems.
Learn about the connection between arteriosclerosis and heart attack
The human body has arteries and the main function of the arteries is to pump
blood throughout the body. When the walls of the arteries thicken the arteries
begin to degenerate. This is a chronic condition and in medical terms it is known
as arteriosclerosis(l’artériosclérose). Hardening of the arteries occurs due to
deposits of calcium, fats and cholesterol. This is gradual process and once it
become full blown the person suffers from heart attack, stroke etc. These
deposits prevent the arteries from pumping blood to essentials organs of the
body. Therefore it is important to know about this condition and how you can
avoid it.
Usually the artery walls are elastic but when there is excess deposits of fats the
walls become hard. Gradually you develop this condition called atherosclerosis. It
affects many vital organs like your heart, aorta, blood vessels and brain arteries.
When the blood vessels get completely blocked it may result in death. You
experience the symptoms like chill or extreme pain when there is partial
blockage. Your brain becomes confused and you may also suffer a stroke. This is
an emergency situation that requires immediate medical attention.
Nowadays this condition is common but that doesn’t mean that you should
overlook the symptoms. Therefore it is important for you to learn about the
causes and then proceed for diagnosis and subsequent treatment. Sometimes in
the early stage there are no symptoms at all. People have even reported to have
noticed no symptoms when actually they were in the advanced stage of this
condition.
Medical practitioners cite several factors which may put a person at risk to suffer
from this condition. Some of these factors are obesity, age, smoking tobacco,
stress, family history and diabetes etc. So if you experience any symptom that is
linked to this condition you should be prompt in getting evaluated by your doctor.
Sometimes when there are no symptoms at all it is actually a routine check-up
that reveals this condition.
Since this condition can lead to a heart attack(crise cardiaque)therefore you
should take steps to protect yourself from this condition. There are some simple
lifestyle and dietary changes which can lower the risk to a great extent. Cut down
drastically on fats in your diet. It is better if you have a low-fat diet. It is actually
those saturated fats which do much harm to your arteries. Choose an exercise
program which you can do regularly because obesity is one of the factors that
leads to this condition. If you smoke then it would be better if you quit this habit

3. for good. Diabetics and people with high blood pressure should learn to control
these two conditions.
Taking Care of Arteries Is important For Our Wellbeing
In a normal human body, blood vessels are that part of the circulatory system of
human anatomy , the main function of which is to transport blood throughout the
human body. There are three kinds of blood vessels in our body namely arteries
which carry blood away from the heart, capillaries which are responsible for the
exchange of water and chemicals taking place between tissues and blood and last
but not the least veins which help in carrying the blood from capillaries back
towards heart. Arteries the therefore have a major function to perform in our
body to ensure our survival which means arteries are a very important part of a
human body and if arteries are affected by any disease, they can sure pose a
great danger for our wellbeing.
The most dangerous thing that can happen to our arteries is atherosclerosis or in
common language narrowing of arteries where our arteries hardens and narrows
down because of the deposition of fat on the walls of arteries which reduces the
flow of blood. Arterial narrowing(le rétrécissement artériel) is fatal to human
beings as a reduction in flow of blood can cause heart attack, stroke or angina or
chest pain when one’s heart muscle does not get enough blood which is rich in
oxygen.
The type of arteries which gets maximum affected by atherosclerosis is coronary
arteries (artères coronaires) as they are already narrow and its common for
them to get blocked and cause the above mentioned diseases which can even
cause death. If a person is suffering from cardiovascular diseases which have
occurred because of the narrowing of arteries, the first and the foremost advice
given to the individual after diagnosis is to give up smoking if he or she does it
and take up exercises on a regular basis.
Medicines are prescribed by the doctor in such cases only when the disease
cannot be cured by simple measures and the medicines given to the patients are
often patented and expensive but care should be taken that they do not show any
side effect after the consumption of these medicines. Surgeries like angioplasty is
done on the patient that helps in expanding narrowed arteries whereas bypass
surgery helps in creating additional blood supply connections which go around the
arteries which have narrowed down. It is always said that prevention is better
than cure so one should take care of his or her body from the very beginning by
exercising regularly and maintaining a healthy diet.
