How Does the Human Heart Function, and What Are the Best Ways to Keep It Healthy? - #14484

Anonymous

I have been learning about heart health, and I want to understand how the heart functions and what lifestyle changes can improve cardiovascular wellness. Some people say that diet and exercise are the most important factors, but I am unsure whether genetics play a bigger role in heart disease. The human heart pumps oxygen-rich blood throughout the body, ensuring that all organs receive proper nutrients. Common heart conditions include high blood pressure, cholesterol buildup, and heart attacks, which can be prevented by a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management. Many cardiologists recommend eating Omega-3-rich foods, avoiding processed sugars, and practicing meditation. However, I want to know whether natural remedies like Arjuna bark or garlic supplements can genuinely improve heart function. For those who have improved heart health, what lifestyle changes made the biggest difference? Would love insights into the best ways to support heart function and prevent cardiovascular disease.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, heart health is governed by Hridaya, which is linked to Rasa Dhatu (circulatory fluids) and Ojas (vital energy). While genetics play a role, diet, lifestyle, and mental well-being significantly impact cardiovascular health. Ayurveda recommends Arjuna bark for strengthening the heart, Garlic for lowering cholesterol, and Triphala for cleansing the arteries. A Sattvic diet with fresh fruits, nuts, and healthy fats like ghee supports heart function, while processed foods and excessive salt should be avoided. Regular exercise, pranayama (especially Anulom Vilom), and meditation help reduce stress and balance Vata and Pitta, preventing hypertension and heart disease. Maintaining emotional well-being is equally important, as unresolved stress weakens the heart over time.
