The heart is one of the vital organs of the human body. The rhythmic contractions of the human heart help the blood to flow throughout the body. De-oxygenated blood from the body is purified in the heart and transported to other parts of the body. However, there are certain factors that lead to abnormal or malfunctioning of the heart, resulting in life-threatening diseases. Causes of Heart Diseases Today, heart attack or heart disease is one of the leading cause of deaths in the world. Hypertension and stress are some of its common causes. Obesity is yet another prominent cause of hypertension and heart attack in people. The excess amount of fats and cholesterol build up in the arteries, which narrow them. This exerts pressure on the heart, which in turn becomes prone to abnormal function or failure. How to Reverse Heart Disease Naturally A heart attack is the first indication by the body that the heart is functioning under pressure. In most of the cases, it is possible to make necessary changes in his lifestyle to prevent heart diseases. The following are some of the measures that one needs to follow for reversing heart diseases. Change Diet A person's diet plays an important role in causing and preventing certain kinds of diseases.

Pursuing a hobby, keeping oneself happy, spending time with loved ones, can also help a person to keep away from stress, high blood pressure, and heart diseases.
