Range of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC (antioxidant foods) as a minimum to cope with the average rate

    Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one killer in North America. These diseases, such as heart attack, stroke, angina pectoris, atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis, and high blood pressure - and their risk factors are so interrelated that it is very difficult to say “where it all begins.”

How Cardiovascular diseases are related:

Glucose is known to be chemically active and can form a temporary bond with many proteins, including hemoglobin (blood). Over time, some of these proteins become permanently attached to the glucose and these sticky fragments aggregate to form what is often referred to as "biological superglue". This “biological superglue” is a "source of constant irritation" that acts like a splinter. The body reacts by thickening the walls of capillaries and arteries which constricts blood flow even more. Also, the rough, irritated walls of the arteries and capillaries makes it easier for soft fatty streaks (Cholesterol) to slowly and gradually accumulate along the inner walls of the arteries and capillaries, especially where they branch off. A High Cholesterol content, which is a typical characteristic of Obesity, speeds up this accumulation of fatty streaks. Over time, the fatty streaks grow larger and start to harden into plaque.  This is called Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). High Blood pressure develops as the blood pressure continues to rise and the heart constantly works harder and harder to pump blood through these constricted capillaries and arteries.

Over time, the over pressurized blood vessels develop weak spots which may balloon out like a bubble on a garden hose. This is called an Aneurysm. Like a balloon, the aneurysm can eventually burst. If this happens to be a majority artery, such as the aorta, it can lead to massive bleeding and death.

Atherosclerosis can also upset the delicate balance of blood clots. Under normal circumstances blood clots continually form and dissolve in our bloodstream.  It is important that this balance be kept. Blood clots form when blood platelets encounter what they consider an injury. Because the body considers plaque buildup an injury, platelets rush to the scene and begin the clotting process. The formed blood clot may remain attached to the plaque and continue growing. A blood clot that grows to the point that it obstructs a blood vessel is called a Thrombus. It can shut off the blood supply to some vital body tissues. If this occurs in a blood vessel that feeds the heart, it is called a Coronary Thrombosis. If it occurs in an artery in the brain, killing brain tissue, it is called a Cerebral Thrombosis.
