Excess fat in the body has always been related with heart disease. Heart disease occurs caused by the narrowing or blockage on the coroner artery or in it branches, either by the accumulation of fat in the blood or blood clots that closes the lumen of the artery. As the impact, artery unable to supply blood to the organs target that it should be supplied. If this occurs, there will be an imbalance in the body’s metabolic process and one of the most popular in this case is heart disease.
Actually, the cause of the heart disease can be classified variously.
  1. Heart disease connected with fat, non-fat or other things that are not controlled beyond both. Kinds of disease that occur related with fat substance such are: hyperlipidemia, hypertrigeliseridemia and hypercholesterolemia.

If you want to be healthy, avoid sitting too long. Active and keep on move your body because person who sit by too long more potentially to deposits around the heart organ. Dangerously, this unwell fat is hardly to removed, even when the victims try to starts more active.
Based on the study which presented at the meeting of the American Heart Association (AHA), a team of researchers conducted a ct scan on more than 500 elderly people who spend a lot of time to sit down. As a result, they have a lot of fat deposits around the heart.
According to news Larsen, whom led that research, even though we have been do exercise every day, but then we sit for 6-8 hours every day, the impact is still bad. On this studies Larsen looking for some type of fat in the body from the respondents, the subcutaneous fat under the skin, visceral fat which is usually located around the internal organs, the intramuscular fat in muscle, fat intrathoratic and pericardial fat that surround the heart. Research result shows, the longer we sit down every day, the area of fat deposits around the heart. "Pericardial fat was associated with cardiovascular disease (heart and blood vessels). This fats will interfere with the function of the heart and blood vessels clog," sports he said. Caused by less effective at removing the pericardial fat, Larsen suggested that we focus on two things, namely getting enough exercise and reduce the time to sit every day. As reviews those for his work to be more sedentary, it is advisable to take advantage of every opportunity to rise from a chair. For example, a short walk every two hours, relying on a ladder to climb to the top floor, or choose a co-worker approached directly than this call. So far, fat considered treats as an enemy to the heart and better intake reduced. Low-fat diet is considered to protect the body from heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

But, is it true?
Low-fat dietary recommended from a 1950 study of saturated fat scapegoat. The study said that saturated fats are dangerous to health and should be reduced but according to leading scientists in the UK, the assumption is actually wrong.
Low-fat diet not contribute in avoid the heart disease or make a longer life. As reported by the daily mail and written on Sunday (03/09/2014), the enemy's body is actually sugar and carbohydrates. "There is no convincing evidence that the low-fat diet has a positive effect on health. frightened public that saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels (bad) not at all true," said James Dinicolantonio, New York scientists who focus on researching heart.
Study data showed that the frightened diseases all over the world such as heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or indigestion triggered by high consumption of carbohydrates or sugars but the study failed to proof a link between saturated fat intake with risk of heart problems. According Dinicolantonio, low carbohydrate diet which is the opposite of the low-fat diet actually good for the body cholesterol balances. The best combination to improve and maintain heart health is to eat less refined carbohydrates, sweets, and processed foods. In some western countries, low-fat diet is no longer practiced. Sweden become the pioneers of the country to remove much of myths relates with fat-low-fat diet. In Sweden, people recommended to do a diet low in carbohydrates and high in fat.
The findings of Dinicolantonio are supported by Brian Ratcliffe, a professor of nutrition at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen. However, the idea was also reap rejection of tom sanders, a professor who is chief of the division of diabetes and nutrition at King's College London.

According sanders, current dietary advice still makes sense. dietary advice in question is to avoid fatty meats, choose low-fat dairy products, limit intake of foods high in fat as well as sugar such as cakes, biscuits and puddings, also choose foods that contain unsaturated fats such as nuts, fish, and vegetable oils.
