The Truth About Stroke and The Soda / Soft Drinks Connection
Stroke and The Soda Soft Drinks Connection

.
.
The REAL STORY behind those famous soda-swilling polar bears
.

.
Stroke and The Soda Soft Drinks ConnectionThe soda-soft drinks industry makes its profits on sugar cravings and sugar addiction. Of course, the companies concerned all balked at the insinuation that their great drinks, drunk the world over, might actually be medically lethal.
.
In a study made in Japan, researchers tracked the soda consumption of 39,000 middle-aged women and men over a span of 18 years (1990 to 2008). This was done using self-administered questionnaires.
.
The results of this study were very revealing: The risk of stroke was significantly increased in people who consumed soft drinks on a daily basis as compared to those who drank these same soft drinks rarely, or not at all.

In addition, the results indicated that this was especially pronounced among the female participants who suffered from ischemic stroke.
.
Stroke can be a fatal or debilitating illness. It is the top cause of serious and long-term disability. However, soft drinks are a popular mainstay of today’s modern culture.
.
Do not think that making the switch to ‘diet’ soft drinks will help. Research indicates that ALL types of soft drinks can set one up for stroke – even the ones with artificial sweeteners. .
.
The risk affects both men AND women even if the risks seem higher for women. No one is spared.
.
.

WARNING MESSAGE

Stroke and The Soda Soft Drinks ConnectionThe dangers of sugar are very real. And soda/soft drinks are poison in flashy disguise.
.
They are slowly, but surely, killing millions of people all around the world on a daily basis.
.
Sugar and the new boy in town, high fructose corn syrup, are also linked to heart attacks and cancer. Sugar makes a person hyper and stressed.
.
Be smart. Do not become a soda – soft drinks sugar statistic. Eliminate it before it eliminates you. Change your lifestyle. Change your diet. Change your life.

Stop A Heart Attack with Scotch Whisky

Did you know that Scotch Whisky…stops a Heart Attack in Its Tracks?

Scotch whisky stops Heart Attack

Scotch Whisky – Stops a heart attackYou may have heard about the wonders of cayenne pepper. But at that critical moment, you may not have it to hand.
.
Besides, Scotch whisky contains some plant chemicals which are not found in cayenne pepper. And most households have a bottle of whisky somewhere.
.
If you don’t have one in yours, buy a couple of bottles and keep them for emergencies.
.
How does Scotch whisky work in this case? To start with, it contains the powerful plant chemicals available in oak – called tannins.
.
These tannins are soaked for years into the whisky from the oak barrels that the whisky is stored and aged in. The aging process raises the concentration of these vital healing compounds.
.
The length of soaking is the secret to get the tannins into the whisky.

Scotch Whisky – Stops a heart attackThe changes which occur in the whisky could be the reason that aged whiskies are highly valued.
.
It is recommended to use Scotch that is no more than twelve years as over-aging can result in the tannins converting into other compounds.
.
In addition, Scotch whisky can feed the heart a quick-acting liquid energy in an emergency. This energy can keep it, the heart, alive.
.
Don’t let a heart starve while waiting for help to arrive. Use Scotch whisky. The tannins in the whisky will keep your loved on, or you, whichever the case may be, on planet earth.

Magnesium A Saviour for Heart Health

By Leave a Comment

.
.
A Must-Take Nutrient, Magnesium , for Heart / CardioVascular Health

Magnesium for Heart Health.
Magnesium is a mainstay for many health health and heart-related conditions.

The European Food Safety Authority (EPSA)

Magnesium is important for neuro-transmission, bone maintenance, electrolyte balance, energy production, protein synthesis and much more.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)

.
Magnesium for Heart HealthMagnesium is a vital mineral and is critical to over 300 bio-chemical reactions that range from health of the bones, to support of the immune system, to healthy functioning of nerve and muscle, and much more.
.
There is much research that have been done that confirm the important role of magnesium in almost everything ranging from control of blood sugar to the prevention of cancer.
.

Harvard Research

Magnesium for Heart HealthResearchers made a detailed and specific study on the relationship between increased intake of magnesium and benefits to overall heart health.

The study involved 16 separate studies and over 313,000 participants. The results were encouraging: For every 0.2 mmol/L increase in circulating magnesium, the participating subjects enjoyed up to a 30% decreased risk of cardiovascular disease.

By increasing dietary magnesium, the results were even better: A 22% decrease in the risks of contracting ischemic heart disease, IHD.

IHD is a heart condition caused by a decrease in the flow of blood to the heart muscle. 22% is, indeed, a very big benefit ~ from a mineral, and not a drug.
.

The Stellar Advantage

Magnesium for Heart HealthThis will surely make you happy: The results of this research were based on increasing the dietary magnesium from food alone.
.
This included vegetables and nuts and seeds. No supplements.

.
Many people in the modern world today are not taking in their daily quota of magnesium. It’s high time that we recognize the importance of magnesium and start increasing our daily intake.
.

Magnesium-rich Foods

Magnesium for Heart Health

  • Magnesium for Heart HealthThe best option is, of course, to eat foods high in magnesium. A few of these include:
  • Dark, leafy greens eg spinach, swiss chard, kale
  • Nuts and Seeds (Squash and Pumpkin Seeds)
  • Fish: mackerel, turbot, tuna
  • Beans & lentils
  • Whole grains: brown rice, quinoa, millet, bulgar wheat, buckwheat
  • Avocado
  • Banana
  • Dried fruits: figs, apricots, prunes, dates
    Magnesium for Heart Health

However, sometimes it may not always be possible to get the necessary amount required for maximum heart health due to depleted soils in which many of the foods are grown.
.

Magnesium Supplementation

The other solution is supplementation. The best to take is magnesium orotate or aspartate. Stay away from the citrate and oxide forms which are not very absorbable.

Fast Remedy for Cardiac Arrest

Cardiac Arrest is NOT a Disease.
IT IS DEATH!
Heart Sifu Cardio Arrest Fast Remedy

Cardiac Arrest Fast Remedy

.
.
When the heart stops, blood flow to the brain stops too. That’s it. A  BIG FULL STOP.
.
.
.
.
However, it’s not a dead end ~ not yet…

What you immediately need to do is to:

MOVE BLOOD FAST, BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE.

Waiting for the emergency service to arrive might be TOO LATE. For Your Loved One.

.
Emergency services start the heart with a defribrillator. What you need to know is this: It is possible to restart  your loved one’s heart with a very common every-day plant, USED CORRECTLY.

Waiting for 999 / 911 emergency services may be a trifle too late for your loved one. Why? This is because blood flow to the brain stops immediately the heart stops. A brain starved of blood is a dead brain.

There is an immediate anti-dote to this almost certain death. It’s a plant chemical readily available in supermarkets that anyone can buy and use. It’s safe…but more much more important in this crisis situation… it’s FAST. Its remedial action goes from no-effect to major effect in seconds according to everyone who has used it. This is important in a life-or-death situation.

Blood goes to the brain at the speed of nerve transmission. This saves lives immediately while the life savers at emergency services at 999/911 are revving up their ambulance engines to come save your loved one.

Cardiac Arrest Fast Remedy.
That plant chemical is capsaicin. It is found in hot peppers, in cayenne pepper.
.
When capsaicin hits the (TRPV1) nerve receptors, blood shoots up to the brain.
.
And so…

The Heart (that had stopped) Wakes Up ~ and Starts Beating Again.

Cardiac Arrest Fast Remedy.
Capsaicin is found in hot peppers, in cayenne pepper. Used correctly, this plant chemical saves lives.

Give it to your loved one and wait for emergency services to arrive.

BIG TIP:
Peppers must be used in liquid form – for FAST ACTION

Use cayenne tincture.

Come back to learn how to make this tincture. Or buy it at health food stores or at herbalists’.

A Rocking Chair A Day Keeps The Doctor Away

By Leave a Comment

Relieve Stroke Caused by Stress:
A Home-Cure for Your Brain…
in the guise of A 1000 year-old piece of furniture…
Rocking Chair Keeps The Doctor Away

.
Whether you’re suffering from a heart attack, or a stroke, or Alzheimer’s Disease, or any other neurological disease for that matter…
.
Here’s an effective remedy for you ~ Rock yourself in a rocking chair!

A Rocking Chair Keeps The Doctor Away.
Mums have been rocking their babies to sleep for centuries. The action calms and soothes babies and they fall asleep, gurgling with pleasure.

Rocking soothes your nervous system. So when you’re under stress, here’s what you do: get on a rocking chair and rock yourself.
.
You’re not a child now for Mum to rock you, but you’re certainly never too old to rock yourself!
.
.
.

What is the science behind this rocking?
.

  1. The action of rocking moves blood:
    .
    Your calf muscles tighten when you rock with your legs, and they act like a heart to push blood from the bottom up to your head.
    .
  2. Stress Relief; Help Prevent Heart Problems caused by Stress:
    .
    The act of rocking is like mechanical sedation. You can forego your tranquilizers and save your kidneys this time. Stress can aggravate heart problems. It can be one of the many causes of heart problems.
    .
    So get rocking. Put a  rocking chair in your office, in your living room and rock away every day as preventive therapy, and rock away your stress!
    .
    As a matter of interest, autistic and emotionally-disturbed children often rock themselves. This helps them release tension.
    .
  3. Rocking helps circulates Cerebrospinal Fluid, containing the ‘feel-good’ molecules of emotion:
    .
    When you rock yourself, you circulate this fluid which carries neuro-chemicals to the brain and spinal column. This will help your to calm down, relax and feel good.
    .
    It’s much like yoga positions and breathing exercises. You feel good when you practise these because you increase the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
    .

How to Rock on A Rocking Chair

.
When you’re sat comfortably on your rocking chair, relax yourself. Then let your head sway gently forward and backwards in tune with the rocking movement started by your legs.
.
After a few minutes’ of rocking, you should feel relaxed, light and peaceful. The more you rock, the better you feel.
.
These physical sensations are a result of  a change in your nervous system. And this can help prevent a debilitating stroke.
.
So, let’s get ROCKING!

Prevention Before A Heart Attack Becomes Imminent?

By 1 Comment

.
Must-Use Premium Nutrients and Supplements…Is a Heart Attack Imminent?
Heart Attack

Prevention Before A Heart Attack Becomes Imminent? Have you ever talked yourself out of seeking treatment when feeling lightheaded or having back pain?
.
Do you blame these symptoms on a poor night’s sleep or lack of food or just simply feeling poorly and that this will pass?

The media has given us a dramatic idea of what a heart attack victim would look like, appearing in numerous films over several decades, commercials and sitcoms.
.
In real life, the actual scene may not be so dramatic. However, symptoms can subtly appear with deadly consequences. This is why it is extremely important to recognize the signs and seek immediate help.

THE SYMPTOMS

The following symptoms may be the signal of a heart attack in women according to the American Heart Association.  There are many signs of a heart attack, most are apparent, but some can be situational.1

  1. Uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain in the center of your chest lasting more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
    .
  2. Pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
    .
  3. Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
    .
  4. Breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
    .
  5. As with men, a woman’s most common heart attack symptom is chest pain or discomfort. But women, more likely than men, may experience some of the other common symptoms, particularly shortness of breath, nausea/vomiting and back or jaw pain.

Many symptoms that women experience may come across as flu-like, sluggish behavior, acid reflux, or think it’s just a part of aging.
.
Not all signs are easy to recognize and most women wouldn’t consider seeking help unless the symptoms were alarming. Be aware of symptoms such as dizziness, the feeling of fainting, light-headedness and upper back pressure that tightens up rapidly.
.
While these are also symptoms for many other maladies, it is best to call 9-1-1 or visit an Emergency Room than to ignore it as something insignificant and self medicate.
.
When it comes to your health, it is always best to rule out a serious condition.     

THE CAUSES

The American Heart Association also stated, “A heart attack strikes someone about every 43 seconds. It occurs when the blood flow that brings oxygen to the heart muscle is severely reduced or cut off completely. This happens because the arteries that supply the heart with blood can slowly narrow from a buildup of fat, cholesterol and other substances (plaque).”

  • Foods that contribute to a build-up of plaque are mostly processed foods that contain trans fat and/or or partially hydrogenated oil. 
  • Trans fat foods include fried foods, fast foods, frozen food, margarine, cakes, cookies, etc. 
  • Avoid fast, fried or processed foods.  

It is important to take notice of any of the symptoms which have been mentioned above.  When symptoms arise, sometimes the easiest solution is to fix a cup of coffee, or take an aspirin, find a close chair and relax.
.
While these are all obvious answers, it’s always better to be safe and seek immediate medical attention. Many people believe that heart disease and heart attacks are more common with men. However heart disease remains the most common cause of death in the U.S. for men and women.
.
Heart attacks and heart disease are not just a factor of an unhealthy lifestyle, a bad diet, being a smoker, obesity or high levels of stress.  Healthy individuals can be affected as well, and misdiagnosed, or left to believe that the symptoms did not match their idea of what a heart attack looks like. 

RISK FACTORS

The Mayo Clinic has listed many risk factors that can contribute to heart disease in women.

Inactivity is named one of the major reasons that women face potential heart problems.  This cause can be changed by adding physical activity into our daily routines. Taking a walk, joining a local yoga or exercise class, gardening, swimming and hiking are all activities that can be incorporated into our day.
.
Diabetes puts women at more of a risk than men, as well as smoking, mental stress and depression. Mental health is vital to maintaining a healthy heart.  Depression tends to slow down any physical activity and women who are depressed may find it difficult to seek and follow treatment.
.
Broken Heart Syndrome is also common in women, mostly brought on by stressful, life situations that can cause severe, but usually temporary heart failure.  This syndrome often occurs after menopause. For younger women, pregnancy complications can play a role in heart disease when diabetes or high blood pressure is present.2
.
Heart disease is not just a risk for older women. Women of all ages that have a family history of heart disease, inflammatory diseases, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes need to pay close attention to any heart issues that arise.
.
While being physically active is important to avoid any heart problems, maintaining a healthy weight is just as vital. The ideal healthy weight is subjective and can vary from woman to woman.
.
Tracking your BMI (Body Mass Index) is extremely helpful.  When you understand your BMI, you will be able to see your percentage of body fat, and then set future goals to achieve a healthy BMI.
.
Click here to check your BMI level.  If your BMI is above 25, you can be at an increased risk for heart disease. .
.
Many women feel discouraged if they have trouble losing weight or have a significant amount of weight to lose. However even losing a small amount of weight can lower your risk of diabetes, lower your stress levels, as well as your blood pressure.3

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE SYMPTOMS 

  1.   Don’t hesitate to call 9-1-1 and follow the operator’s instruction.
  2.   Try to stay calm, breathe, and wait for medical response to arrive.
  3.   Do not try to drive to the hospital or continue to drive if you are already on the road. 

SEEKING CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT

Prevention is always the best medicine.  However, if healthy lifestyle changes, weight loss, and medications, have not been effective, there are surgical and non-surgical treatments that are common for both men and women who have experienced a heart attack or diagnosed with heart disease.
.
Coronary Angioplasty, stents and bypass surgery are the most common procedures for heart attacks. Angioplasty is done by using a balloon-tipped catheter that can be inserted through the artery in the groin or wrist to enlarge any narrowing in a coronary artery.
.
Any Percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI, is done in order to minimize or stop a heart attack so that the individual can avoid going through open heart coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).

USE NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AS SENSIBLE PREVENTIVE MEASURES

Supplements such as L-Arginine and L-Citrulline are a tremendous support for smooth flow of blood in your arteries.

Another superb support is Plasma-Flo for keeping your arteries clear and allow a smooth passage for blood to flow around your body.
.
Animals have the amazing ability to manufacture their own vitamin C within their bodies. Sadly, this is not the case with us humans.
.
And as Vitamin C is such an important nutrient (it helps prevent heart attacks), we need a daily intake of a bioavailable form.

For our hearts to function optimally, we also need magnesium. Most of the magnesium supplements found in pharmacies are rock-based and difficult for our bodies to absorb. You need a bio-available plant-based magnesium and vital minerals.
.
Inflammation goes on continually in our bodies. If this goes unchecked, and out-of-control, we can succumb to all manner of degenerative disease depending on which part of our bodies is weakest. In this instance here, it will be a stroke or other cardiovascular problems.
.
A last, but certainly not final, critical supplement to take is a stem cell support.
.
An oral stem cell support can stimulate the bone marrow to product adult stem cells which can replicate other tissues in the body to self-heal and regenerate. A must-add to your nutrients supplementation program.
