Heart Health

Circulatory disease is still the leading cause of death for both men and women. A heart attack or stroke is all too often fatal, but frequently is not.

The best approach is to prevent a heart attack or stroke from occurring by improving the quality of foods, reducing stress, and strengthening the heart and blood vessels with good nutrition and exercise.

HEART HEALTH HELP

Herbal Assistance
Taking several capsules (or a spoonful in water) of the herb capsicum (cayenne pepper) can be helpful in stopping a heart attack and reducing the prospect of damage to the heart. It is a good herb for anyone with heart attack potential to have on hand.

Some people take capsicum regularly to stimulate circulation. Be aware that this herb has HOT properties and can be felt coming out the other end later!

Oxygen

Pure Water
Chlorine creates free radical damage in the heart and arteries. Virutally all city water supplies contain chlorine or chloramines (compounded from chlorine and ammonia) as a disinfectant. This practice began around 1910. Many health experts are convinced that consumption of chlorinated water is a leading cause of the growth in circulatory disease over the last century.

Many home water systems have put lead in the water from the solder used to seal pipe joints. Water-borne bacteria could be a problem as well.

Every home should have a water purification system for drinking and bathing and showering. Click Here to learn more about pure water.

Antioxidants
Certain antioxidant nutrients & herbs rich in them, are valuable in preventing free radical damage to the heart. Others can help the heart recover.

The following antioxidants offer great benefit for the heart:

Vitamin E, Vitamin C, OPC's (antioxidant compounds from maritime pine bark, grape seeds, & curcumin/tumeric), ellagitannins (from red raspberries, grapes and other fruits), co-enzyme Q-10 (improves oxygen transfer), lignans special antioxidants in flaxseed), tocotrienols (powerful antioxidants related to vitamin E), & negatively ionized hydrogen (the strongest antioxidant).

Other Nutrients

Flaxseed also is a source for the Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acid. That plus the excellent fiber in it make flaxseed popular for reducing cholesterol. CLICK HERE for more about flaxseed

High quality minerals are very important, especially calcium, magnesium, potassium, and trace minerals. Also, the enzymes protease & lipase help clean up arterial plaque and fatty deposits.

WALK HEART PROBLEMS AWAY

An article published not long ago in JAMA (Journal of The American Medical Association) describes a thorough study on the effect of exercise on cardiovascular health in postmenopausal women.

Those who walked or more vigorously exercised for at least 2 1/2 hours a week had about 30% less incidence of circulatory disease. The participants who walked for 45 minutes, 5 days per week had 45% less cardiovascular disease.

It was discovered that simple walking is just as good as jogging, running or other more active exercise. Walking briskly had slightly more benefit than a slower pace.

However, those who sit much of the time during their day are worse off, even though they exercise. It is important to get up and move around frequently.

It is expected that the same benefit of walking and other exercise occurs for other segments of the population as well.

The American Red Cross encourages everyone to be aware of . . .

THE SIGNALS OF A HEART ATTACK:

~ Persistent chest pain or discomfort (which can range from discomfort to an unbearable crushing sensation in the chest) that lasts longer than 3 to 5 minutes or is not relieved by resting, changing position, oral medication, or goes away and then comes back;

~ Discomfort, pain or pressure in either arm; that spreads to the shoulder, neck or jaw;

~ Breathing difficulty, which may cause dizziness;

~ Nausea;

~ Skin appearance, which may be pale or bluish in color. The face may be moist or may sweat profusely;

~ Unconsciousness.

To care for a heart attack victim:

- Recognize the signals of a heart attack;

- Call 9-1-1 or the local emergency number for help;

- Convince and help the victim to stop activity and rest comfortably;

- Try to obtain additional information about the victim's condition;

- Assist with medication, if prescribed (some doctors recommend chewing up an aspirin, ideally 325 mg. for a normal adult);

- Monitor the victim's condition;

- Be prepared to give CPR and use an AED if the victim's heart stops beating;

Often a heart attack victim experiences chest pain that does not go away; the pain may spread to the shoulder, arm, neck, jaw or back. It is usually not relieved by resting, changing position or taking medicine.

If the pain is severe or does not go away in 3-5 minutes, call 9-1-1 or your local emergency number at once. A heart attack victim may deny that any signal is serious. If it appears as though the victim is having a heart attack, stay calm, reassure the victim, and call 9-1-1 (or your local emergency number).
