Keep these 3 health conditions at bay to keep your heart 'hale and hearty'

One of the leading causes of death across the globe is health issues related to the heart. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says that millions of people lose their lives every year due to heart attacks.

 So let’s have a look at somebody’s ailments that lead to cardiovascular diseases.

 Diabetes
 
Diabetes, which means high blood sugar levels in the blood, is a disease that can invidiously damage the arteries in the long run. As the sugar level builds up in the blood,  there is a considerable blockage of the blood vessels that carry the blood to and from the heart.

 High Blood Pressure
 
It is the leading reason that led to heart disease. High blood pressure is a condition when the force of blood against the walls of arteries is abnormally high and hence leading to a decrease in the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart.

 Abnormal Levels of Bad Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol
 
The LDL or low-density lipoprotein is also known as ‘bad' cholesterol. When there are unhealthy levels of LDL, plaque gets accumulated in the arteries hence narrowing down the vessels. This narrowing of arteries poses a severe threat to the health of the heart.
