Does it cause stroke or heart disease

Atkins Diet’s long term effects. Does it cause stroke or heart disease ?

Introduction

A household name, Atkinson Diet for weight loss, needs no introduction. What needs to be known about it is, how it works, as this research is about if Atkins Diet causes heart disease and stroke in the long run. There can not be a more pertinent question as that is what the controversy over Atkins Diet is all about in that it defies the traditional belief and logic that fat is responsible for triggering heart attacks. Yes, late Dr Atkins, not a layman nor a naturopath but a medical scholar, introduced the concept in 1972, which raised many eyebrows of his own fraternity, of replacing Carbohydrate by Fat, Protein for producing weight loss.

Health care policy and research

Biofeedback is a treatment where people are encouraged to improve their health using signals from their own bodies. This kind of process is used by therapists as they assist stroke victims in regaining the use of their paralyzed muscles. Psychologists also use it in their practice as they help patients in learning how to relax. Some also use this process in the management of pain (The Association for Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback). The biofeedback machine helps in seeing the condition of the body.
