Each year, heart disease is taking toll of millions of people across the globe. While scientists are on a constant attempt to introduce advance methods in treating ailments of the heart, attempts are also being made to identify indications in the body that tell you whether you are at a risk for heart disease or not. Those found to be at a risk for heart disease can take precautions to avoid heart diseases.

The first step in preventing heart disease is to identify whether you are at risk for heart disease or not. Many theories have been put forward and many methods have been listed to identify whether you are at risk for heart disease. Some methods include a series of simple steps and others are so complicated that a thorough investigation of your DNA mapping needs to be done.

While some methods are used to measure the risk are just vague and seem like guess work, some researchers take it up seriously and device appropriate strategies to determine certain traits in a person that call for action to prevent heart diseases.

Most studies consider BMI (Body Mass Index) as an indicator for heart disease . risks. But, a study conducted by the American College of Cardiology suggests that BMI alone is not enough to judge a person’s risk for heart disease. Researches involved with this study opine that the waist to hip ratio is the best indicator for general health and heart disease. So, even though your BMI falls in the healthy range, your waist-hip ratio can tell whether you have a healthy heart or not.

Conversely, though your BMI tells that you are at risk for heart disease, your waist-hip ratio may actually have some good news for you about your heart health.

Most studies relate body weight to heart health. But every person who is overweight on the BMI scale need not have the risk for heart attack. Through the findings got from the study, researchers state that BMI does not identify patients who have fat deposits around the waist. They can merely determine the fat percentage of the entire body. This calculation is not enough to determine risk of heart disease in the person.

This study is a good reference for people who want to know if they have a risk for heart disease. Don’t let the BMI score mislead you in deciding that you are at risk for heart ailments in future. Make other tests in order to confirm your risk for heart disease before running into a panic.

You might have heard that “taking an aspirin a day will keep your heart attacks away”. In fact Aspirin does help your heart, the salicyca acid in aspirin helps to keep blood cells from clumping together and sticking to the arterial wall. This reduces the risk of heart diseases. Besides aspirin, foods and herbs, in this article we will discuss what kinds of Chinese herbs traditional Chinese doctors use in treating heart diseases. Please note that Chinese medicines have been around for over 4,000 years well before the existence of western medicines.

Here are some Chinese herbs that have been used for treating heart diseases:

1. Nu zhen zi (privet fruit):

Nu zhen zi is the ying kidney and liver tonic that is the significant immune enhancement agent. Nu zhen zi also helps ying deficiency such as dizziness, floater, weak knee and enhancing heart blood.

2. Hong hua (safflower):

Hong hua is one of the Chinese herbs that have been used to break up blood stagnation and improve blood circulation. It is also used to unblock uterine stagnation.

3. Ru xiang (frankincense)

Ru xiang is used for thousand of years in treating joint pain, alleviating chest pain as well as breaking up blood stagnation and improving blood flow to the heart.

4. Mao yao (myzzh)

Mao yao contain elements that help to break up stagnation of blood resulting in improved blood circulation in our body.

5. Fu ling (poria)

Fu ling is a fungus that helps to enhance the immune system’s ability to fight off viruses. It is used in Chinese medication for heart calming and palpitation smoothing.

6. Yin yang hou horney (goat weed)

Goat weed helps to lower high blood pressure and heart calming.

7. Du zhong (rubber tree bark)

Du zhong is consider the primary herb used to increase the yang function in the body resulting in benefits of the heart.

There are many more Chinese herbs that can help to lower bad cholesterol levels and high blood pressure as well as preventing and curing heart diseases such as xian fu, wu wei zhi, and da zhao.

Is A Vending Business Right For You?

Hal Decker asked:


One of the Best Ways to Prevent Heart Disease and Maintain Better Overall Health is to prevent inflammation from occurring within the body as much as possible.

Two good scientific ways to measure the amount of inflammation occurring in your body is asking your doctor to test your Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein levels the next time you have a routine blood test done.

The American Heart Association describes: “Homocysteine as an amino acid in the blood. Epidemiological studies have shown that too much Homocysteine in the blood (plasma) is related to a higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease… that homocysteine may have an effect on atherosclerosis by damaging the inner lining of arteries and promoting blood clots.”

The best ways to help prevent Inflammation and high Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein levels are:

1. Eat a healthy diet, don’t be more than 2 to 5 pounds over your ideal weight: (avoid the sugars, sodas, saturated and trans fats, avoid too much sodium or caffeine, eat more vegetables and fruits, less red meat, more fish and have more healthy Omega 3’s, and have less or no unhealthy fast foods and Burger/Fries, Junk foods/dessert type meals and unhealthy snacks),

2. Live a healthy lifestyle, (get enough sleep 7 to 8 hours nightly, avoid too much stress, avoid bad habits like drugs, tobacco, too much alcohol etc),

3. Get moderate regular daily exercise (minimum of 3 to 4 times weekly),

4. take proper high quality nutritional supplements,

5. Avoid getting sick by practicing the 4 above healthy habits as viruses, sickness, infections and,illness all increase inflammation and raise Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein levels.

Check your blood test results; (Note: your doctor may not inform you, so learn to take more responsibility for your own health and ask for Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein blood testing to be done)

Healthy Blood test Homocysteine levels are:

For men: between 4.3 and 11.4 umol/L

Ideal is: less than 7 umol/L

Unhealthy over 12 umol/L and very unhealthy over 15 umol/L

The higher the Homocysteine level over 7, the greater your chance for a future heart attack or stroke.

The American Heart Association says: “C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase proteins that increase during systemic inflammation……that testing for CRP levels in the blood …. an additional way to assess cardiovascular disease.”

Healthy Blood test C-Reactive Protein levels are:

Healthy or Low Risk: less than 1.0 mg/L

Average Risk: 1.0 mg/L to 3.0 mg/L

Unhealthy or High Risk: greater than 3.0 mg/L

Women’s optimal CRP levels should be less than 1.5 mg/L

Men’s optimal CRP levels should be less than .6 mg/L

In addition to Eating a healthy diet, Living a Healthy lifestyle and getting regular moderate Exercise, be sure to take a high quality multi-vitamin supplement daily to help supplement what nutrients, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals your body and brain may be missing as a result of today’s fast pace and often stressful daily life.

Important food-based nutrients, antioxidants, herbal nutrients, and nutrients obtained through proper supplementation can help support decreased levels of inflammation and help your heart, brain, immune and circulatory system to function optimally.

Important inflammation lowering and heart and brain healthy nutrients include sufficient amounts of healthy omega-3 fats (Essential Fatty Acids, found in fish oil), healthy circulatory minerals and nutrients like magnesium, potassium, calcium, B-complex including niacin (B3), B6, B12, and folic acid, L-carnitine, L-arginine and ribose.

Healthy inflammation lowering antioxidants include: CoQ10 (in ubiquinol form), pomegranate and resveratrol. Also be sure to get various vitamins and minerals in proper ratio (including selenium), taurine, vitamin E (natural with mixed tocopherols of alpha, beta, delta, and especially extra gamma), important amounts of vitamin D3 (for natural anti-inflammation and immune support) and vitamin C with citrus bioflavonoids.

(More about these nutrients and other heart and brain healthy nutrients will be in next week’s updated blog)

Healthy and Easier Great News to help support lower Homocysteine and C-Reactive Protein levels: To make nutritional supplementing with all the many nutrients required to help support lower inflammation levels within the body and without having to open 10 or 15 bottles of Supplements daily, there are a few All In One Comprehensive High Quality Multi-Vitamins and Greens type products available. This means that you only have to take two or three nutritional products daily in order to get all or most of the above nutrients. I have found a Great selection of inflammation support lowering, Circulatory Support and healthy multi-vitamins and nutrients to be available at www.doctorgreens.com. Here’s to your best of health.

Andrew Bicknell asked:


Ischemic heart disease occurs when there is a partial blockage of blood flow to the heart. When the heart does not get enough blood it has to work harder and it becomes starved for oxygen. If the blood flow is completely blocked then a myocardial infarction (heart attack) occurs.

As we age we naturally have plaques build up in our arteries. This is called arteriosclerosis which is a hardening of the arteries. This can lead to blood clots that can cause a heart attack or stroke. Hardening of the arteries and blockage of major arteries is one of the leading causes of death by disease in the United States. In fact heart disease itself kills more people every year then the next 6 diseases combined.

The degree to which ischemic heart disease affects each individual depends on a variety of factors including age, genetics, diet and exercise habits, and smoking. For many people who are at high risk it is important to make certain lifestyle changes that will reduce this risk.

Since medical science and doctors know the causes of ischemic heart disease they also know the steps to take to prevent or reverse its effects. And the steps one can take to avoid its effects are actually quite simple. Eat a healthy diet and avoid foods high in saturated fat, get more regular exercise to strengthen the cardiovascular system, drink alcohol in moderation, and stop smoking. By making these types of simple lifestyle changes you can avoid and prevent the onset of this disease.

Saturated fats are one of the leading causes of plaque build up in the arteries. By avoiding fatty foods that contain these types of fats you can significantly reduce your risk of heart disease. In fact if you eat more fish that are high in omega 3 fatty acids you can significantly reduce the build up of plaques. Omega 3 help build up the good cholesterol called HDL which helps remove the bad cholesterol (LDL).

Exercise will significantly reduce the risk of ischemic heart disease by helping the body effectively remove excess body fat and reduce the risk posed by obesity. Any form of exercise, whether its daily walks, working around the yard, or a full on exercise program will work wonders when it comes to preventing this condition.

Just a few changes can make all the difference in the world when it comes to fighting and preventing ischemic heart disease.

Robert Orlando asked:


Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, has been proven over the years as a crucial component in the fight against heart disease. Studies have been done over the years and a Noble Prize winning scientist has proven that Vitamin C is very important not only for a healthy heart and cardiovascular system, but for overall health as well.

A Little History

Millions of years ago nearly all mammals manufactured ascorbic acid in their liver from glucose. Then some 55 to 60 million years ago one of ancestral primates was afflicted with a genetic mutation that prevented him from producing his own ascorbic acid. As of today we all know this is still the case.

There are 4 enzymes required to convert glucose to ascorbic acid. We are only able to produce 3 out of the 4 enzymes and lack the ability to make the final conversion to ascorbic acid.. To the best of our knowledge, only two non primate animals the guinea pig and a fruit eating bat have suffered similar mutations and survived. Both lived in areas where ascorbic acid was readily available.

The Pauling Theory

Dr. Linus Pauling, the two time Noble Prize winner, was considered to be the father of modern chemistry. His early work contributed greatly to our understanding of the double helix structure of DNA. You could say he ushered in this modern era of alternative medicine with his concept of orthomolecular medicine and mega vitamin therapy. With his knowledge and determination he was able to cut through the established beliefs and get to the truth of the matter.

Dr Pauling and his colleague Dr. Rath presented evidence so compelling that in 1994 they were issued a patent for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. (U.S. PATENT # 5278189). The protocol followed at a lower dose will prevent cardiovascular disease while higher doses will actually reverse arterial plaque build up. Heart patients who use this therapy commonly avoid open heart surgery and angioplasty.

Why Many People Don’t Know

You might be asking yourself at this point that if this is so great how come nobody has heard about it and why are people still dieing of heart disease. That’s a good question and I have an answer to it. There’s a lot of money to be made in heart surgeries and procedures, not to mention all the money the drug companies make from the drugs you’ll have to take.

I’m not saying it’s just one big conspiracy. There are a lot of doctors out there that truly want to help you and may not even know about these types of therapies. Remember, the doctors are trained to prescribe drugs and unless you doctor is proactive that will be all he knows.

What You Can Do

If you want to live a long healthy life you need to get proactive with your health. You can’t always count on someone else to take care of you, they may not have your best interest at heart.

I’ve given you some fantastic information here, but don’t take my word for it. Go investigate Dr. Pauling and you’ll discover the same information I have, that according to Dr. Pauling with 5,000mg - 18,000mg of Vitamin C daily and 3g to 6 g of the amino acid Lysine daily you to can prevent or reverse heart disease.
