RECOVERY FROM HEART ATTACK, STROKE & OTHER CVDs

Happy and Healthy Greetings!

Yes, it may not be you but what about that person you know who is perhaps suffering from HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, STROKE & other forms of CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES. According to research carried out by NOIPolls Limited, 52% of the adult Nigerian population are unaware of cases of heart disease in their locality; hence the neglect of vital signs and risk factors resulting into incidents of heart disease by the majority. 

 

Cardiovascular disease (also called heart disease) is a class of diseases that involve the heart and the blood vessels or both. It is the leading cause of deaths worldwide and 80 percent of the burden of Cardiovascular diseases now occur in developing countries, although, since the 1970s, cardiovascular mortality rates have declined in many high income countries. At the same time, cardiovascular deaths and disease have increased at a fast rate in low- and middle-income countries. Although cardiovascular disease usually affects older adults, the antecedents of cardiovascular disease, notably atherosclerosis (narrowing of blood vessels), begin in early life, making primary prevention efforts necessary from childhood.

Heart attacks and strokes are usually acute events and are mainly caused by a blockage that prevents blood from flowing to the heart or brain. The most common reason for this is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain. Strokes can also be caused by bleeding from a blood vessel in the brain or from blood clots. The cause of heart attacks and strokes are usually the presence of a combination of risk factors, such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol, hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia.
 

The most common manifestations of cardiovascular disease are coronary artery disease; leading to high blood pressure, heart failure, cerebrovascular disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the brain such as stroke, peripheral arterial disease – disease of blood vessels that supply blood to the arms and legs etc. The common terms used terms for these are “Heart Attack”, “Stroke” and “Hypertension”.
VITAL5 has been tested and trusted to prevent, revert and support recovery from these silent killers. One of the critical ingredients in the Vital 5 pack is endorsed by a 2009 Nobel Winning Scientist as the best source of L-Arginine supplement available on the market today. L-arginine helps with the formation of nitric oxide which supports the dilation of blood capillaries thus allowing better oxygenation and the delivery of nutrients to the body's tissue. You may watch the Dr. Murad talk about his work with L-arginine here.

Drugs, as many of us know, usually treat the symptoms not the root cause; and above all drugs are life long medications with side effects.

I encourage you to augment the traditional therapy with VITAL 5, the 30-day organic supplement that will revert, prevent, and support total recovery from Cardio-Vascular diseases by providing essential nutrients to the body's nutrient superhighway.

FRUITS AND THEIR RULES

We all love fruits, those healthy natural deposits of vitamins, nutrients and other useful elements. In many cultures, it is traditional to eat fresh fruits for a dessert after meals. However, not many people are aware of the fact that eating fruits at the end of lunches or dinners can be quite harmful. Specialists suggest being careful on this point and follow some easy rules, which can help us derive maximum benefits from eating fruits.

Rule No. 1: Do Not Eat Fruits after Meals

It usually takes about 20 minutes for fruits to digest and move to the small intestine where further absorption of the nutrients occurs. However, when we eat fruits after other meals – especially the ones with high content of protein or starch which usually takes much longer to digest – the fruits get blocked in our stomach and starts fermenting or even getting rotten. In such cases, no positive nutritional effect will be received. Instead, the meals will be partially digested, the fruit will get broken down in the stomach and our digestive system could get upset.

Rule No. 2: Do Not Eat Fruits Together with other Meals

The same scenario described above will occur when the fruits are mixed with other meals. Toxic effects of rotten fruits in your stomach can cause great discomfort and even serious diseases. For example, eating kiwis, cherries or berries together with meat, potatoes or

other foods containing lots of proteins, starch and fats, can cause various problems with digestion, colitis, diarrhea, and even pains in the liver.

Rule No. 3: Make a Habit of Eating Fruits on an Empty Stomach

This habit will do more good to your health. Your stomach and digestive system will not have to use additional mechanisms to balance the process of digestion. It is also very good to eat fruits after doing physical exercises or any sort of outdoor activity. 

Best Times for Eating Fruits:

·         In the Morning, 20 -30 minutes before having breakfast

·         In the afternoon, 3-4 hours after lunch

·         Before bedtime, 3-4 hours after dinner.  

  

   

The majority of people know that eating five servings of fruits and vegetables a day is very important.

By eating fruits and vegetables of a variety of different colors, one can get the best all-around health benefits. Each different color fruit and vegetables contains unique health components that are essential to our health.

Fruits and vegetables are very important to our health because they are whole foods, created by nature, that are rich in a large amount of nutrients. The processed foods that we so commonly eat, can never compare to the health benefits provided by strawberries or broccoli, which have fiber, vitamins, and enzymes built right in.

Eating plenty of healthy vegetables and fruits helps prevent heart disease and strokes, diverticulitis, control your blood pressure, prevent some types of cancers, and guards against cataract and macular degeneration or vision loss.

The number one excuse for not eating the required five servings of fruits and vegetables each day is they are too expensive. However, as compared to the amount of money spent on pre-packaged, processed, and fast foods, most fruits and vegetables (with the exception of those that are not in season) are not all that expensive.

Because frozen fruits and vegetables retain the majority of their nutritional value, they can be an excellent alternative when certain foods are out of season.

Someone who is not able to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables each day can also drink fruit and vegetable drinks in their place. Although this shouldn't become a habit, fruit and vegetable drink mixes can be an excellent substitute when you're rushed or traveling. Or even better, you can have such high quality nutritional supplement like Forever Living's Nature's 18. [WATCH]

And Kiwi, Prunes, Red Bell Pepper, Zucchini and Parsley all provide Vitamin C as well as promoting good digestion and eye health.

Eating junk food leads to obesity

The need for fruits and vegetables in our diet is growing rapidly with the type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high cholesterol, hypertension that result from the "Typical American Diet" of fatty meats, processed sugars, and refined grains. Make the change you know you need today and preserve the one place you've got to live - your body!
