Three Keys to a healthy Heart Webinar on September 11

September is Cholesterol education month.  This is a webinar scheduled for Saturday September 11.  The topic is 'Three Keys to a Healthy Heart'
Please plan on attending.

Garlic

Garlic

Garlic is one of the most valuable and versatile foods on the planet. Garlic belongs to the allium family of vegetables, which also includes onions, chives, shallots and leeks.

Today garlic is a widely recognized health-enhancing supplement. Garlic promotes the well being of the heart and immune systems with antioxidant properties and helps maintain healthy blood circulation. One of garlic’s most potent health benefits includes the ability to enhance the body’s immune cell activity. Also, good for the heart and circulatory system, garlic has been shown to improve digestion. It is considered a tonic in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicines making garlic one of the most important medicinal herbs we have.
What are the Benefits of Garlic?

Garlic can be used to treat high cholesterol, parasites, respiratory problems, poor digestion, and low energy. Studies suggest that regularly eating garlic helps lower blood pressure, controls blood sugar and blood cholesterol, and boosts the immune system. It has also been found to reduce the risk of esophageal, stomach, and colon cancer.

Preventing heart disease
Garlic and garlic-derived supplements can help reduce the risk of heart disease in several important ways. Garlic lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, lessens destructive oxidation and decreases the formation of blood clots. It also slows hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis) and helps maintain their elasticity. At the same time, garlic decreases troublesome symptoms of atherosclerosis, such as poor circulation, fatigue and headaches.
The positive effect of garlic on the circulatory system is well documented and it has been proven to: lower blood pressure, decrease platelet aggregation, lower serum triglycerides and LDL-cholesterol (the bad type) levels, increase serum HDL-cholesterol (the good type) and fibrinolysis (the process through which the body breaks up blood clots).

Plus it stimulates the production of nitric oxide in the lining of blood vessel walls, a substance that helps them to relax. As a result of these beneficial actions garlic helps to prevent arteriosclerosis and thereby reduces the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Circulatory Effects

More than 250 publications have shown that garlic supports the cardiovascular system. It may lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels in the blood, inhibit platelet stickiness (aggregation), and increase fibrinolysis-which results in a slowing of blood coagulation. It is mildly antihypertensive and has antioxidant activity.

High Blood Pressure
Garlic is regarded as one of the most effective remedies to lower blood pressure. The pressure and tension are reduced because it has the power to ease the spasm of the small arteries. It also slows the pulse and modifies the heart rhythm, besides relieving the symptoms of dizziness, shortness of breath and the formation of gas within the digestive track
Digestive System Disorders:

Garlic is one of the most beneficial foods for the digestive system. It exercises a beneficial effect on the lymph, aids in elimination of noxious waste matter in the body. It stimulates peristaltic action and the secretion of the digestive juices. Garlic produces a very marked effect on the intestine. It is effective to cleanse parasites. It has also a soothing effect on the various forms of diarrhea. Problems such as colitis, dysentery and many other intestinal upsets can be successfully treated with fresh garlic or garlic capsules.
Skin Disorders
Garlic has also been used successfully for a variety of skin disorders Pimples disappear without scar when rubbed with raw garlic several times a day. Even very persistent form of acne, suffered by some adults, has also been healed with garlic. The external use of garlic helps to clear the skin of spots, pimples, boils, and warts. The process is further helped by taking the garlic orally also, to purify the blood-steam so as to secure a long-term clearance of the skin. A regular course of three garlic capsules per day should help to clear minor skin infections quickly.

Antimicrobial Actions

Garlic has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal activity. Garlic appears to have roughly 1 % the strength of penicillin against certain types of bacteria. This means it is not a substitute for antibiotics, but it can be considered as a support against some bacterial infections. Candida albicans growth is inhibited by garlic, and garlic has shown long-term benefit for recurrent yeast infections.
Antibiotic action

Garlic's compounds also have antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Garlic fights off all sorts of infections, including those of the lung, sinus, bladder, and vagina, as well as colds and flu. Garlic is a practical remedy used both internally and externally to treat fungal and bacterial skin infection.

Improving immune function

Garlic also stimulates the immune system by increasing activity of several types of immune cells: macrophages, helper T-cells, killer T-cells and interleukin. It even protects against genetic changes in DNA.
Cancer preventative


Several compounds are involved in garlic's possible anticancer effects. Garlic contains allyl sulfur and other compounds that slow or prevent the growth of tumor cells. Allyl sulfur compounds, which occur naturally in garlic and onions, make cells vulnerable to the stress created by products of cell division. Because cancer cells divide very quickly, they generate more stressors than most normal cells. Thus, cancer cells are damaged by the presence of allyl sufur compounds to a much greater extent than normal cells. A survey of 41,000 participants over age 55 by the Iowa Woman's Health Study determined that garlic reduces the risk of colon cancer, as well. Research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York found that garlic's sulfur compounds probably slow prostate cancer by breaking down excess testosterone.

Researchers widely believe that the organic compound, allicin - which gives garlic its aroma and flavour - acts as a most powerful antioxidant. Dried or powdered garlic tablets are suitable to take advantage of garlic's immune-boosting qualities.

Garlic is a great natural source of Germanium. Although not officially classed as a "trace mineral", Germanium is one of the most important reasons why natural foods, such as garlic are recommended by nutritional practitioners. Many disease states, such as osteoporosis, heart disease, immune system dysfunction and cancer have been shown to respond to germanium therapy. It would appear that the reason for germanium's effectiveness is its ability to regulate the uptake of oxygen in the cells.

Garlic is also rich in selenium, and in another trace mineral, manganese, which also functions as a cofactor in a number of other important antioxidant defense enzymes. Studies have found that in adults deficient in manganese, the level of HDL (the "good form" of cholesterol) is decreased.
Garlic appears to be safe during pregnancy and breast-feeding. In fact, two studies have shown that babies prefer breast milk better from mothers who regularly eat garlic.
Note that due to garlic's anti-clotting and blood thinning properties, people taking anti-coagulant drugs or who are scheduled for surgery should check with their doctor before taking garlic supplements.

Yours in Good Health!

Understanding Cholesterol Webinar on Saturday June 5 9 AM PST, 11 CT, 12 ET

Get a good understanding of what Cholesterol means. Learn how to manage it with herbs and lifestyle changes.

In this training we will learn what healthy ranges for cholesterol are, including the dangers of low cholesterol, and how to use other blood tests to determine what is really happening when cholesterol is out of balance. You'll also learn how to use herbs and supplements to keep cholesterol (high or low) in balance

Circulatory System Keeping Your Heart Healthy for Heart Month

Circulatory System Support
As people celebrate Valentine’s Day we can turn our attention on American Heart Month.
Since 1963, Congress has required the president to declare February “American Heart
Month”. The goal is to raise funds for research and education to focus on cardiovascular
disease as the #1 cause of death in the U.S.

When we think of circulatory health we want to focus on the entire cardiovascular system.
The cardiovascular system is composed of the heart and blood vessels. The heart pumps
blood containing oxygen and nutrients through vessels to organs in the body and in turn
removes carbon dioxide and waste products.

The heart is constantly pumping blood at a rate of roughly 100,000 beats per day.
Therefore, it is important to focus on supplements that can help maximize the strength
and performance of this organ. Supplements like Coenzyme Q10 can support energy
production in heart muscles. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and krill oils can promote
the healthy flow of blood within the arteries and veins. Arginine can help relax the blood
vessels to further promote healthy circulation of blood. Hawthorn can improve heart
function and B-vitamins can protect it. Let’s take a closer look at these ingredients.
Coenzyme Q10 is found in high concentrations in the mitochondria (powerhouse) of cells.
Heart muscle cells are particularly rich in Coenzyme Q10. People with congestive heart
failure have lower levels of Coenzyme Q10 in their heart muscles and can increase the
output of the heart by supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 (1). There is also substantial
evidence that shows supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 can have a favorable effect on
both systolic and diastolic blood pressure (2). While it is clear that Coenzyme Q10 aids
heart function, it is poorly absorbed from the diet. A blend of conjugated linoleic acid,
flax seed oil, and soybean oil can aid the absorption of this nutrient. This is extremely
important because these healthy fats aid the uptake of Coenzyme Q10 in the intestine (3).
A 50 mg dose maximizes absorption.(4)

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids found in fish oil and in krill oil. These
essential fatty acids are not produced by the body and have an abundance of health
benefits in the circulatory system. They reduce inflammation caused by free radicals
which can lead to hardening or thickening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) (5). They also
play a role in preventing blood clot formation and can promote healthy cholesterol levels
in the blood. Supplementing with fish or krill oil is important because the American diet
greatly lacks these essential fatty acids. Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) should also be added
to the diet. Vitamin K2 prevents the calcification of arteries and protects against heart
disease (6,7). Krill oil is also rich in phospholipids which are found in cell membranes.
This form of omega-3 fatty acids appears to be better absorbed by the body and has a
more pronounced effect on cholesterol levels (8). Krill oil also contains astaxanthin
which is an antioxidant red/orange carotenoid pigment naturally produced by the krill.
Arginine is an amino acid that is important for circulatory system health. In circulatory
tissues, arginine is converted to nitric oxide which has a relaxing effect on the interior
lining of blood vessels and helps promote healthy blood pressure. Arginine also reduces
platelet adhesion which further promotes healthy blood circulation (9).

Hawthorn has traditionally been used to support the circulatory system. It has been shown
to increase the strength of contractions in the heart and to increase the output volume of
each contraction (10). B-6 (Pyridoxine), B-12 (cyanocobalamin) and folate help to lower
homocysteine levels. Elevated homocysteine levels are considered a strong indicator of
heart disease risk. The final important ingredient is resveratrol, a potent antioxidant.
Cardiovascular tissues endure a great exposure to oxygen and free radicals. Free radicals
enter the blood from the air we breathe and from the foods we eat. Supplementing the
diet with high potency antioxidants like resveratrol can not only neutralize these harmful
free radicals but can also preserve good health and longevity (11).
