This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Frontiers in Cardiovascular Health varies between and within nations, depend ing upon the level at which the battle is fought for better cardiovascular health. According to the 1997 World Health Report, 15 million deaths (i. e. 30% of the total number of deaths) were attributable to cardiovascular diseases and this number is on the rise. The projection for the year 2020 is quite alarming with an expected cardiovascular mortality reaching 50 million. Much of this burden is projected to occur in developing countries, more specifically in the most populous countries of the world, namely China and India. These countries are already burdened with infectious and parasitic diseases and are trying to eradicate such diseases. With increasing life expectancies people all over the world, especially in developing coun tries, are exposed to degenerative atherosclerosis resulting in increased cardiovascu lar mortality and morbidity. In developing countries, resources available for health care are very limited. For example many of the African countries spend less than $10 per person per year on his/her entire health care let alone cardiovascular health. The average health care budget for nearly two thirds of the global population is well below $100 per year, on a per capita basis. Therefore, in developing countries health promotion and primary prevention are the frontiers by necessity. Improving awareness and health education is not only a matter of choice but is an absolute necessity.

Book excerpt: “Instead of trying to find time in your day for self-care, yoga-therapist Amendola suggests scheduling your life around your practices, aiming for a stress-free, healing existence. Under her expert guidance, this not only seems enticing but possible.” - Booklist, Starred Review "An excellent starting point for those of all abilities and in all walks of life looking to create habits that support their cardiac and spiritual health.” - Library Journal Stress is often the first domino in chronic illness and disease. Too often, however, doctors have little training or information to offer patients about managing stress. In The Centered Heart, yoga therapist, stress management expert and senior trainer for Ornish Lifestyle Medicine, Susi Amendola, navigates the intricate relationship between stress management and overall health. She invites readers into transformative experience with the ancient and time-tested somatic practices of yoga that have been shown to improve cardiac outcomes as well as outcomes from many of the chronic diseases that plague our society. Developing a daily stress management practice that includes gentle movements, breathing, relaxation, meditation, imagery, compassion, and a connection to nature gradually shifts awareness to an internal locus of control. Practitioners will feel better, connect with their innate inner wisdom, and come to understand that through lifestyle choices they control they can be their own first line of intervention. While we may not be able to affect what is happening around us, with the wisdom and insights offered in The Centered Heart, we can make a difference in the quality of our own lives, change the way we react to stress, calm our hearts, and reclaim our health.

Download or read book Stress and Its Management by Yoga written by K. N. Udupa and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publ.. This book was released on 1985 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph mainly covers our studies on the causes and management of the most common and disabling disorders of stress and strain of life. It is now well established that the brain with its known centres for sensory, intellectual and emotional functions plays the main role in maintaining a balanced condition of our body and mind by liberating required amount of neurohumors and hormones. Any disturbance of this homeostasis by genetic or environmental factors would ultimately lead to the development of the Stress Disorders. At first the changes are functional and later on bodily changes of Stress Disorders appear. In the treatment, during the acute stage, the use of tranquillizers and other drugs may help. However, if the disturbance persists, the practice of Yoga would help greatly to get over the neuro-humoral changes occurring in the brain. Hence the integrated practice of Yoga has an important role to play in the prevention and treatment of Stress Diseases. All these aspects have been dealt with in the book in sufficient detail with regard to each of the disorders of stress for the benefit of all concerned.

Download or read book Effect of Yoga and Raw Diet on Functional Capacity and Quality of Life of Patients with Cardiac Congestive Failure of Patients with Cardiac Congestive Failure written by Mini Paul and published by Asmtm. This book was released on 2022-12-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga and healthy dietary practices enhances the psycho-neuro immune system and other physiological functions like cardio vascular health. Yoga reduces the action of sympathetic nervous system and increases the action of parasympathetic nervous system, and reduces heart rate, stress reactions and the flow of Adrenalin in the body. Breathing exercises like pranayama and meditation help in the management of stress and relaxation of the body. They also supply more oxygen to the heart. Meditations activate the psycho-Neuro-Immune system (PNI) of the body and release the positive neuro transmitters that help in the reversal of heart disease. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) indeed is a global health burden. Major risk factors of CVD are obesity and stress. Adequate physical activity and relaxation technique can lower the risk of CVD. Physical exercise and pranayama are components of yoga. There are marked abnormalities in the neurohormonal system in a variety of disease states. Most dramatic examples of heightened neuronal adrenergic activity of disrupted receptor functions are heart failure, acute myocardial ischemia, hypertension, coronary artery vasospasm and post-operative arrhythmias. The levels of catecholamine correlate with the outcome of patients with heart failure and cardiac arrhythmias. Abnormal neurohormone status has been thought to contribute to myocardial ischemia; these hormonal disturbances can be settled to a large extent by practicing yoga. Dietary guidelines recommend a high intake of vegetables and fruits and a low intake of saturated fatty acids, cholesterol and salt to reduce cardiovascular morbidity. Large body of evidence indicates that predominantly plant-based (vegetarian) diets can effectively contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) but not highly explored the significance of raw diet and yoga in cardiac congestive failure patients. The main objective of the present study was to assess the effect of yoga and raw diet on functional capacity and quality of life of patients with CCF. The investigation also sought to evaluate the changes of some vital signs and some physiological parameters such as total Cholesterol, LDL, blood sugar, blood electrolytes, body mass index and VO2 uptake. The investigator has conducted two separate pilot studies to see the effect of yoga on the reduction of BMI and VO2uptake and found significant changes in the values after the intervention (P

Download or read book Stress Proof the Heart written by Ellen A. Dornelas and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death throughout the world. Chronic negative emotions such as depression and anxiety place cardiac patients at greater risk for death and recurrence of cardiovascular disease. In 2008 the editor published a book related to this topic, titled Psychotherapy with Cardiac Patients: Behavioral Cardiology in Practice (American Psychological Association). Aside from that book, there are very few resources specifically written for clinicians who treat psychologically distressed cardiac patients. Unlike other medical specialty areas such as oncology, the field of cardiology has been slow to integrate behavioral treatments into the delivery of service. Perhaps because the field has been largely defined and dominated by researchers, mental health clinicians are only starting to recognize behavioral cardiology as a viable arena in which to practice. There is a large void in the practitioner literature on behavioral cardiology. In a review of Psychotherapy with Cardiac Patients, Paul Efthim, Ph.D. wrote, "Her new book goes well beyond previous works by giving specific and detailed guidance about how to tailor psychological interventions with this variegated population." He added, "It would benefit from even more details about treatment approaches." This proposed volume goes beyond the editor’s previous volume by providing in-depth descriptions of behavioral treatments for distressed cardiac patients written by eminent leaders in behavioral cardiology. This book describes a wide range of behavioral treatments for the common psychologically based problems encountered by clinicians who treat cardiac patients. The book is organized as follows: Part I focuses on the most psychologically challenging and common presentations of cardiac diagnosis; coronary artery disease, arrhythmia, and heart failure. This section also includes a chapter on heart transplantation, which is a treatment, not a diagnosis, but a treatment that incurs profound psychological impact for the individual. In Part II, behavioral interventions for the general cardiac population are described. Mainstream therapies such as stress management, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and medical family therapy are described, along with approaches that have less empirical support but considerable practical significance such as personality-guided therapy and interventions aimed at altering type D personality traits. The literature in behavioral cardiology has a rich history of investigating maladaptive personality traits and thus it is important to include behavioral approaches that target personality in this volume. Part III focuses on common behavioral problems encountered by clinicians who work with this patient population. Most patients who seek psychological help do so because they perceive themselves to be stressed due to their job or overextended in all areas of their life. Other people with heart disease present with sleep problems and/or an inability to motivate themselves to exercise or quit smoking. There are many practical behavioral approaches that can be helpful for patients with these difficulties and these are detailed in this section of the book. The conclusion of the book focuses on how to integrate the behavioral treatments described in the preceding chapters into a comprehensive treatment model.

This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metabolic syndrome is a disorder of energy utilization and storage, diagnosed by a co-occurrence of three out of five of the following medical conditions: abdominal (central) obesity, elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose, high serum triglycerides, and low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Noncommunicable diseases, which include diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases, are the world's biggest killer diseases, estimated to cause 3.5 million deaths each year. Eighty percent of them are found in the low- and middle-income countries. The WHO has developed an action plan for implementation of global strategies in prevention and control of noncommunicable diseases.1 One of the objectives of this plan is to develop simple strategies to identify those at risks, together with appropriate and cost-effective interventions. Metabolic syndrome has been advocated as a simple clinical tool for predicting diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. It also forms a conceptual base for understanding some of the pathophysiological links between metabolic risks, diabetes mellitus, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The clustering of metabolic syndrome risks with cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus has been recognized for more than 80 years, but the modern concept of metabolic syndrome began when Reaven proposed a conceptual framework that links biological events in a single pathophysiological construct.2 Reaven construct suggested that insulin resistance provides common mechanisms underlying the associated abnormalities such as blood pressure, lipid abnormalities, and glucose intolerance. In 1947, Vague, a physician from Marseilles, observed that upper body obesity was significantly associated with diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, gout, and calculi; and all these conditions were improved by eating a low-carbohydrate diet.3-4 Haller in 1977 described metabolic syndrome to be associated with obesity.
