PostHeaderIcon The Three Basic Approaches For Promoting Heart Health



Supporting heart health includes a combination of exercise, a heart healthy diet and heart supplements. Each of these three elements plays an important role in promoting heart health and the combination of all three works in synergy for maximum heart health benefits.

Exercise

The American Heart Association suggests that even moderate activity can be beneficial for the heart. According the studies the effect of inactivity on the heart is comparable to that of smoking, raised cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. So living an inactive lifestyle may be as harmful for the heart as smoking!

The American Heart Association recommends that all healthy adults get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, five days a week. Such activities can include swimming, jogging, aerobic dancing, yard work, gardening, walking, climbing stairs, or cycling.

Aerobic exercises in particular help to stimulate the production of oxygen in the blood and increase heart palpitation. This gives a good workout for the heart and lungs. Anaerobic exercise helps to build muscles. It is advisable to mix your exercise routine with aerobic, anaerobic and stretches.

Exercise helps to:

Strengthen the functions of the heart and lungs, as well as other organs in the body. Build strength and endurance Help to increase energy levels Optimize metabolism Release stress and tension accumulated in joints and muscles Increases joint mobility and flexibility Supports healthy circulation of blood to all organs Tones skin health Helps promote regularity of bowel movements Supports immune health

Before starting any exercise program consult with your doctor for an exercise regiment that is suitable for you.

Diet that Supports (Heart) Health

There is really no such thing as a heart healthy diet! What we’re talking about is well-balanced nutrition which is recommended for everyone. The reason we think it’s a heart healthy diet is because of the consequences associated with unhealthy eating which have a direct or indirect influence on heart health.

A well balanced diet supports healthy eating habits and overall health, including cardio health. A balanced diet includes:

At least 5 servings a day of fresh fruits and vegetables At least 6 cups a day of grains (preferably whole grains). An adequate intake of 25 to 40 grams of dietary fiber a day Watching your calories to maintain an optimal weight. Limiting your intake of high calories foods, as well foods that contain trans fats, hydrogenated oils, fast foods and fried foods. Eating fatty fish at least twice a week for the omega 3 benefits. Focus on eating nutritional foods, instead of high-calorie foods which have little nutritive value.

Heart Supplements

There are certain nutrients that research shows have a favorable affect on cardio health. Take a look at these nutrients and how they help to support heart functions:

Omega 3 fatty acids. Both the Food and Drug Administration and the American Heart Association have recognized the benefits of Omega 3 fatty acids for supporting heart health by helping to maintain normal cholesterol levels. CoQ10. This vitamin-like substance is concentrated in the heart muscles and provides energy for its functions. Folic acid.This member of the B vitamins helps to support healthy homocysteine levels, needed to arterial health. Phytosterols. Research indicates that phytosterols may play a role in the proper elimination of bad cholesterol from the system, inhibiting its absorption by the body.

A well-formulated cardio supplement like CardioMatrix contains a blend of the above heart-healthy nutrients. Used regularly, they play an active role in supporting cardio health along with a healthy diet and exercise regimen.

Skin care is not a new concept, it has been around for thousands of years. The big difference is that we have moved from traditional herbal skin care to synthetic or chemical based products over the last one hundred years.

Why we abandoned traditional herbal skin preparations is not completely clear, in fact there may be several reasons. A hundred years ago, people were mesmerized by the sciences. They were seen as modern, a break-through, the saviour of mankind’s health, an emergence from darkness and old-fashioned ways, despite the fact that a deficiency of regulation led to thousands of fraudulent claims for wonder drugs, lotions and potions.

Another reason could be that millions of people moved from the countryside, where they could gather herbs and spices while they were out labouring in the fields, to the city, where they had to work eight to ten hours a day in a factory and no longer had the opportunity to make their own herbal skin preparations.

These days there is a shift back to herbal skin care products. Some people make their own herbal products and others kid themselves by buying chemical products with wording such as ‘with added lemon’ in a half-hearted endeavour to ‘go herbal’.

Commercial herbal products have to have a long self life because they are usually made hundreds of miles away from where they are sold. In order to accomplish this, they have to contain preservatives and this reduces the effectiveness of the preparation. The unfortunate fact is that, despite a growing public interest in herbal skin care, people are disinclined to make their own, so they continue to buy commercial, chemical, skin care goods.

So, if you want to learn more about making your own herbal skin care products, where do you begin?

Aloe Vera – is a succulent, a hot climate plant that grows extensively around the world. It can be used by snapping a leaf and rubbing the juice straight onto cuts, bruises, burns and dry skin. In Thailand, where aloe vera grows wild everywhere, people also use it for bites and stings and practically any skin trouble.

Banana and Avocado – are well-known for their skin care quality. They are good for moisturizing dry skin.

Dandelion, chamomile, rosemary and lime flowers can be utilized as skin cleansers. Make an infusion with boiling water and rub on with a flannel.

Lavender, marigold, thyme and fennel are strong antiseptics. Again soak in boiling water and apply with cotton wool.

Lavender water and rose water are superb skin toners.

Herbal skin care products can be manufactured very easily at home, but people are sceptical because we have been trained, brainwashed, to buy commercial products by hundreds of billions of dollars of advertising over the last one hundred years – that is four generations. That sort of influence will be hard to shift, but you can make your own herbal skin care products and you should try at least one.

So, pick a form of herbal skin care that you would like to try and switch to making your own from a recipe that you can find on the Internet. If that works, and why should it not, then you can try another herbal skin care product.

PostHeaderIcon Health Supplements – How to Ensure You Are Getting a Quality Product



Reading between the lines of many health supplement labels is this caveat:

WARNING: This label may be misleading the public. Supplement facts represented on this label may be inaccurate or other valuable information withheld in order for this product to attract more selling value. Labels in the health supplement industry are often misleading. The FDA has limited oversight on health supplements. High profits in this lucrative industry has attracted all kinds of manufacturers, many using inferior raw materials, negligent production practices, inaccurate labeling and false claims to sell their products. The industry is so large and expanding that all kinds of manufacturers can make a niche for themselves in this highly profitable sector.How can you make a wise choice for a quality health supplement product? First, let’s understand what a health supplement is.

What is a Health Supplement?

Health supplements are dietary supplements defined by Congress in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, 1994 as being, “a product (other than tobacco) taken by mouth that contains a dietary ingredient intended to supplement the diet. The dietary ingredients in these products may include: vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, and substances such as enzymes, organ tissues, glandulars, and metabolites.” These supplements can be in various forms such as capsules, tablets, soft-gels, gel-caps, powders, liquids, or even bars. They can be used for many different purposes such as lowering cholesterol, increasing energy, supporting immune health, weight loss, weight/muscle gain, for overall well-being, or other health-benefiting reasons. These products are sold at health food stores, grocery stores, drug stores, national discount chains, mail-order and Internet.

The Choice

Choosing from a myriad of health supplements can be a daunting task for a consumer. For any particular health concern, most health supplements all promise the same benefit, all have the same, if not similar ingredients. So how do you choose? Some of them even make tall, incredible health claims and only a few of them carry any precautionary warnings. Here are a few guidelines to go by when choosing a health supplement. The Credibility of the Manufacturer: Choose a manufacturer that has credibility. A GMP-certified company is a good start. GMP certified company would entail that strict manufacturing systems are in place at every stage of production. Ensure Credibility: Search the web for the company’s history and reputation. Does the website contain their contact information? Can you talk to them over the phone or through live assistance on their website for any queries you may have? Quality: In order to be effective, a health supplement must be of the highest possible quality. Quality varies widely because there are no quality standards in the health supplement industry. Factors to quality are: Physician Formulated Products: Look for products that have been physician formulated by a well-known doctor, not just accredited by a doctor. Research and Development. Check whether the company has a research and development team. This means they have conducted various tests and trials on the product to ensure safety and effectiveness of ingredients, including whether the end product is of the highest purity and potency value. Labels: The FDA requires that certain information appear on the dietary supplement label. Look for these: Name of product (including the word “supplement” or a statement that the product is a supplement) Net quantity of contents Name and place of business of manufacturer, packer, or distributor Directions for use In certain cases, a disclaimer: “This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” A Supplement Facts panel that lists: Serving size, list of dietary ingredients, amount per serving size (by weight), percent of Daily Value (%DV), if established If the dietary ingredient is a botanical, the scientific name of the plant or the common or usual name standardized in the reference Herbs of Commerce, 2nd Edition (2000 edition) and the name of the plant part used If the dietary ingredient is a proprietary blend (i.e., a blend exclusive to the manufacturer), the total weight of the blend and the components of the blend in order of predominance by weight Try not to make the price of the product a deciding factor. There are many cheaper products available in the market but in the long run your health will benefit from a product from a reliable manufacturer. Tall health claims: If the product makes incredulous claims that seem too good to be true, use your discretion. Avoid such products. Expiration date. Dietary supplements should carry an expiration date as they can lose potency over time. Educate yourself. Study the ingredients on the internet. Visit reliable sites that will give you accurate information on the ingredients in the product. Some of the ingredients may be safe to use, but have precautions for use not mentioned on the label. Precautions: If you are taking medications, be aware that herbal supplements may interact adversely with them. If you are under 18 or over 65 be aware that herbal supplements may not have been tested on your age group. Check with your doctor before taking any health supplements.

Remember, dietary supplements are not a substitute for food, but can complement your diet especially if you are not getting the required nutrition you need through your diet.
