Heart attacks kill almost a million Americans a year — not to mention those who die from strokes (more than 160,000 in 2002). The latest data shows that over 64 million Americans suffer from some form of cardiovascular disease — and 39 million of them are age 65 or younger. Sadly, more and more men in their 20s and 30s are dying from what used to be a disease of the elderly.
So how can we stop these progressive heart attacks from wreaking their havoc on so many loved ones?
The major factor in preventing heart attacks and heart disease is to avoid red meats and increase your intake of healthy foods (fruits and vegetables), antioxidants and supplements known to reduce inflammation. These recommendations only include things known to powerfully inhibit atherosclerosis. Other nutrients will help as well in preventing a heart attack - take a closer look at magnesium, iron, vitamin s A and E, and even pure water. Obvious, but crucial advice when it comes to preventing heart attacks; reduce stress, increase your amount of exercise, and decrease your intake of coffee and caffine.

If you want to stay healthy, live longer, and avoid diseases like depression, brain disorders, heart problems, inflammatory and autoimmune disease, even cancer - you have to eat the RIGHT KIND of fat. Now of course...that's no license to pig out on fried chicken and cheesecake...I'm talking about omega-3. Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fat - different from the trans fat and it is considered an essential nutrient. These fatty acids play a very important role in growth, disease prevention and even aids in cancer prevention. Again - it all seems to come down to our diet! Do your part - get more Omega - 3 as part of a healthy diet.
These days it seems like many people are losing their memory long before their body gives out. The truth is - while Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia continue to strike down victims at an unprecedented pace, you don’t really need to surrender to the living hell of outliving your own memory. Especially when so much scientific evidence indicates that one major factor (totally within your control) demonstrates such a close link to your brain function…your DIET! Everyone's heard the importance of a healthy diet - but do you truly know the impactful benefits that it can have on your life? Disease prevention, cancer prevention, cholesterol, diabetes and especially the benefits regarding your sound mind! Get your diet under control and retain your memory as long as possible.
Can we really do anything to prevent cancer? Yes. For decades, the word “cancer” has triggered waves of terror in the middle-aged and seniors alike Most believed they could neither predict nor prevent the mysterious and dreaded disease, which is now a top cause of death in the United States. Did you know that studies show chronic inflammation breeds certain cancers? Or that specific fruits and vegetables contain nutrients that can slash your cancer risk? What if cancer prevention simply came down to our diet? It makes sense - our body is constantly rebuilding its self, cells included and creating its own defense system by using its resources - all of which come from our food. Now...what if its only equipped with indigestible, nutrient void material? It gets sick...it gets cancerous. Read more here about preventing cancer and getting back your health.
Are yearly exams really necessary? Who in the world enjoys being poked prodded and often invaded by a stranger and a pair of cold hands?! There may be good news for us after all - Dr. Blaylock wrote an article encouraging more focused exams rather than a blanket physical where lots may be missed. He explains what "normal" tests results really mean and and what and when we should really be testing for including cholesterol. I for one feel better being expectant about what my doctor should be checking for and knowing the best methods to be used. It has opened up great communication concerning my health and for once I feel like I have some control. I also haven't been subjected to unneeded checkup's!
