How to Prevent Aneurysms With Diet

Aneurysms are caused when the artery is weakkened causing it to bulge. An aneurysm may rapture causing life-threatening haemorrhaging. The prevalence of unrupted aneurysms is 3%. Ruptured aneurysms are the cause of 85% of spontaneous haemorrhaging. ¹

This can be the result of chronic inflammation and haemodynamic stress due to stress placed on blood vessels due to blood flow. This can cause or result in the loss of endothelial funtion. The endothelium is a single layer of cells that line your blood vessels. It is involved with blood fluidity, platelet aggregation, blood vessel flexibility and immune response.

Aneurysms usually are not painful. Often you are not aware until it raptures which is very dangerous or fatal.

The annual rate in the US mid-west is 6-16 per 100,000 people.

Increased risk of aneurysm ias associated with:

Ideal homesysteine is 6 micromol/L or less.

Ideal blood pressure is less than 120/80 mmHg. ²

The author’s suggested dietary guidelines to mitigate the risk of aneurysms are:

There is NO benefit of eating fish – for people or the fish.
Carotenoids: Yellow, orange and red organic pigments that are produced by plants, several bacteria species and fungi.
Flavonoids: Found in fruits, vegetables, grains, bark, roots, stems, flowers, tea and wine.
