I have had reason to read up on cardiovascular disease<\/a> lately. Not in connection with my own health, you will be glad to hear. The book I am reading, Reverse Heart Disease Now<\/a>, is focused, yet it is easy to see that much of what they are talking about goes far beyond the health of the heart. What is healthy for the heart is healthy for the whole body<\/strong>, and may have implications for allergies<\/strong><\/a>, although the book does not discuss allergies. The book does stress that cardiovascular disease is an inflammatory<\/strong><\/a> disease – the inappropriate inflammation of the arteries<\/a>.<\/p>\n What strikes me as I read the book, that much of the advice promotes general health<\/strong>, not just the health of the heart. Too often, specialists recommend treatment that may cover the primary symptoms, but ignores the health of the rest of the body – and in some cases may cause other health problems. This book is much more holistic, and I feel that some of what I am learning in this book also applies to allergies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
