The cardiovascular system is one of the most important systems in the human body. It is comprised of the heart, blood and blood vessels. Blood is being pumped out from the heart and is the one responsible in delivering oxygen and other nutrients to all the parts of the body. It also cleans up our body by picking up the waste products on its way back to the heart so our body can get rid of them.
So what has diabetes got to do with the cardiovascular system? Since blood is part of the cardiovascular system, and diabetes is a condition in which the level of glucose in the blood is higher than normal, hence Diabetes and cardiovascular system diseases are closely related to each other.Some examples of the commonly diagnosed cardiovascular disease are coronary heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure and other heart conditions.
.
Risk Factors
Diabetes is now considered as a major risk factor in cardiovascular diseases. Other factors that contribute to the possibility of acquiring cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients include hypertension, smoking and hyperlipidemia.
- Hypertension. Hypertension in diabetes is considered a major contributor to the increase in mortality from cardiovascular diseases. Diabetic patients, especially those with Type 2, need to always have their blood pressure checked every visit to the doctor. Self-monitoring at home is also a must to maintain and control the rise of blood pressure. The American Diabetes Association recommends a target blood pressure of not more than 130/85 mm Hg to maintain a good level of blood pressure.
- Hyperglycemia. Intensive glycemic control may prove to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events, although not directly. This can be more beneficial in controlling micro vascular complications, but still, assessing all risk factors and properly managing them is a big step in preventing occurrence of any cardiovascular diseases.
- Smoking. Smoking has been determined dangerous to our health. Studies show that smoking indeed increase risk of premature death and cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients.
Prevention
As the old saying goes, “prevention is better than cure.” There are many ways on how to prevent the increased possibility of cardiovascular events in diabetic patients. Several alterations or modifications to the risk factors can be done to still maintain healthy despite of diabetes.
The simplest step one can start with is to stop smoking. Diabetic or not, cessation of smoking will really prove beneficial to one’s overall health condition. Maintaining blood pressure to less than 130/85 or 130/80 mm Hg helps control the occurrence of hypertension. Having a body mass index (BMI) of less than 27 is also a must for diabetic patients to control their overall condition.
Some tests are also recommended to monitor and keep maintain key factors at a healthy level. These tests include annual urine test, retinal dilation examination, dental examinations, and biannual foot examination for sensation testing and measurement of pulses. Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases need proper attention and care. Regular visits to your health practitioner are recommended as they are the right people who know all about your condition. They keep all the records of their patients’ health history and can track improvements or otherwise. Proper medications and advice are also given by these professionals.
Diabetes is indeed a life-long condition that demands a lot of attention. There may be no hard and real cure for this disease, but it sure can be maintained and controlled by proper care and having thorough knowledge and understanding about the condition.

The two Kidneys are part of the urinary system, the endocrine system and are two of the most important internal organs in the body. They are responsible for filtering the blood, regulating the urinary system and producing hormones. kidneys work extra hard to ensure our continued well-being. Every day, 2o percent of the blood pumped by the heart passes through our kidneys for cleansing purposes. Each of these kidney is composed of about a million tinier units called "nephrons". Inside these nephrons, a tiny blood vessel ("glomerulus") is intertwined with a tiny urine-collecting tube (tubule). As blood passes through these nephrons, a complex interaction occurs between the glomerulus and the tubule which results in the elimination of wastes in the blood. These waste materials then enter the urinary tract and end up being excreted in the urine.Besides this, the kidneys also perform the following functions:
* Regulation of the composition of the blood.
* Maintenance of the ideal concentrations of vital substances and ions in the blood.
* Sustaining the proper volume of water in the body.
* Eliminating toxic wastes from the body.
* Maintaining the acid-base concentration of the blood.
* Normalizing blood pressure.
* Promoting the production of red blood cells.
* Maintaining the ideal sodium,potassium,calcium level in the body.
To avoid developing kidney troubles, it is therefore necessary to maintain a healthy lifestyle.One may start by considering the following tips:
. Maintain a healthy blood pressure
. Limit intake of foods which dramatically increase the blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Maintain alkaline pH of blood.
. Have sufficient quantity of water to prevent dehydration.
. Avoid adding too much salt to the diet.
. Minimize stress.
. Have a regular exercise routine.
. Limit medications to those prescribed by your family physician.
Kidney Detoxification program:
Kidney detoxification program includes Water fasting which involves taking in large quantities of water for a specified period of time without food. Juicing (or juice fasting) is also an excellent way to cleanse and detoxify the kidneys. It is less severe than water fasting since it provides the body with the nutrients, minerals, enzymes and energy needed to support the various metabolic processes during the fast.Herbal detoxification plan for kidneys involves use of kidney beneficial herbs like Punarnava,Gokshura,Uva Ursi(Bearberry), ginger root,fresh parsley,wheatgrass powder,varun,dandelion root,burdock root, Rakt Chandan,palaash,kaasni,etc.During this entire detoxification program,it is very important to maintain an alkaline pH of our entire body system.

High blood pressure: Poor liver function can trigger high blood pressure when it breaks down the adrenal hormone called aldosterone. Excessive aldosterone causes your body to retain sodium and lower potassium levels. This electrolyte imbalance can raise your blood pressure.

Autoimmune disorders such as inflammatory conditions,muscle and joint pain and chronic fatigue: When an overworked liver gets overloaded with artificial chemicals from foods, environmental pollutants and toxins from drugs and medications, it’s easy for these chemicals to build up in the liver and escape from the protective filters in the liver into your blood stream.These chemicals then become absorbed and incorporated into the cells of your muscles, organs, joints, and tissues. Now your immune system can no longer recognize these “chemicalized” cells as a natural part of your body and views them as foreign invaders that need to be destroyed.So, your body produces antibodies to attack its own cells. To overcome and even help improve autoimmune disorders—you’ve got to take the load off your overworked immune system by cleansing your liver!

Unstable blood sugar levels: When your blood sugar levels drop, you can experience fatigue, lightheadedness and an uncontrollable craving for sugar.People low blood sugar levels tend to have weight problems as well as chronic yeast infections.When blood sugar levels drop, a healthy liver will quickly release stored sugar called glycogen into the bloodstream. But when your liver is sluggish, blood sugar levels run haywire—and that can leave you prone to developing serious blood sugar problems!

Gallbladder problems and gallstones: When you eat fatty foods, your liver emulsifies—or breaks down—the fat with the help of bile, which is stored in the gallbladder. This process raises the cholesterol content of your bile. A sluggish liver will not manufacture enough bile salts to keep the cholesterol from hardening. The cholesterol crystallizes and turns into small “stones” known as gallstones—which can be painful and even lead to serious gallbladder problems!
Headaches: A sluggish liver allows toxins to leak into your brain and trigger headache pain. And unfortunately, painkillers can add further stress on your liver.
