We all know that having a healthy heart is crucial to a long and healthy life.   Here are 15 steps you can take right now to help you along the path to a healthier heart. Step 1: Vitamin E, Selenium and Grapeseed Extract High blood cholesterol is known to be a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease. High cholesterol is particularly dangerous when it is oxidized. The first step in protecting yourself from the dangers of high cholesterol levels is to prevent its oxidation. (Then work on lowering it.) Vitamin E prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol or "bad" cholesterol, and protects arterial walls from free radical damage. This is a very important factor because LDL oxidation is the first step in the process that leads to  hardening of the arteries. Results from a recent study showed that 400 and 800 I of supplemental Vitamin E each day reduced the risk of heart attack in men by 75%. Here is more Vitamin E can do: It causes dilation of blood

I have a history of heart problems since my early 20’s. My average heart rate was 213 beats a minute for 10 years, called Super Ventricular Tachycardia. My heart would pound so hard, you could literally see it. I was always weak, dizzy and light headed. I didn’t want to take drugs because of the side effects. After 10 years of this, I had 2 heart surgeries (because my symptoms kept coming back). I was still having problems - a fast heart rate and feeling weak. I was in and out of the hospital every month for a year– test after test – and they still couldn’t figure out why my heart rate was so erratic and fast. I heard about Shaklee products and how great they were from a friend years before, so I decided to try them. Within 6 weeks of taking the products, it was like night and day for me …. I was no longer weak and I didn’t have to stop at the top of the stairs and catch my breath and my bearings. The Protein powder made the biggest impact on my health…. I can’t li

By: Rusty Ost I would like to address a situation that was brought about by my open-heart surgery. When I first became involved with Shaklee, it always amazed me when someone who used Shaklee food supplements suffered from some acute or degenerative disease. If Shaklee food supplements were so powerful, why hadn’t the victim been protected? Now that I’ve had open-heart surgery, I’ve heard people (even friends) say, “I thought you were taking all those vitamins so you would stay healthy. What happened?” I’d like to spend the next few minutes telling you exactly “what happened.” First of all, let me tell you a little about my background. Both my parents died at an early age of heart disease. Neither one of them had a second chance. My cholesterol level has been as high as 480. When I was in college, it was 360 and no one cared! In addition to having the familial history of heart disease, I consumed a very high-fat diet. When June and I were first married and she

By Dr. Steven Chaney, Ph.D Another popular myth has been busted! I'm sure that you have heard this one before. Many doctors advise their patients to take a baby aspirin every day to reduce their risk of heart attack. This recommendation has been repeated so often in the media and in self-help books and web sites that even more people are taking an aspirin every day without even waiting for their doctor to recommend it. Is this good advice? Probably not, accordingly to a new study done by Dr. Gerry Fowlkes of the Wolfson Unit for Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Edinburgh Scotland. In a study that he presented at the most recent meeting of the European Society for Cardiology in Barcelona Spain, he and his colleagues followed 3,000 men at very high risk for developing heart disease for an average of eight years. Half of the group was randomly assigned to take an aspirin every day and the other half was given a placebo. At the end of eight years

By: Joseph McCaffrey, MD, FACS (See my notes in RED ) Most of us know we should reduce the salt (sodium chloride) in our diet to help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of having a heart attack or stroke. While the amount of sodium we eat is important, it's not the whole story. One study has confirmed what other studies have suggested for years: sodium intake alone isn't as important as the ratio of sodium to potassium. The study was reported in the January issue of the Archives of  Internal Medicine . 1 It evaluated the records of 2275 patients who are being followed as part of the Trials of Hypertension Prevention (TOHP) studies begun in the early 1990s. What the study showed was that over a 10-15 year period, 193 participants had a serious cardiovascular episode (heart attack, stroke, need for coronary artery bypass or death due to stroke or heart attack). They then compared the risk of these problems to the level of both sodium and

And that Twinkie looked as fresh and soft as on the day it was made. Here’s a clue for food: If it hasn’t spoiled in 15 years, IT’S NOT REAL FOOD!! Does this mean we have nothing to eat? Of course not. It just means we have to be more selective of what we eat.  We don’t live like purists, but I can guarantee you, after reading this article, I may be learning how to make my own salad dressing! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Healthy Nutrition – Changing brands can change your life!
