Brave Heart!!!

One heart at a time...

Little bit about your HEART● Beating since our first breath● Pumps blood through 60,000

miles of arteries and veins● Heart muscle needs high energy● Heart muscle is most important

muscle in our body

Why act on Heart Health NOW?

● About 600,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year–that’s 1 in every 4 deaths.1

● Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. More than half of the deaths due to heart

disease in 2009 were in men.1

● Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, killing nearly 380,000 people annually.1

● Every year about 720,000 Americans have a heart attack. Of these, 515,000 are a first heart attack and 205,000

happen in people who have already had a heart attack.2

● Coronary heart disease alone costs the United States $108.9 billion each year.3 This total includes the cost of

health care services, medications, and lost productivity.

Die of CVD or Live Healthy?

Dirty Dozen Risk Factors

1. Too much insulin2. Toxic Blood

a. Homocysteineb. Lipoproteinc. C-Reactive Proteind. Fibrinogene. Ferritin

3. Oxidative Stress4. Poor Bioenergetics5. The Bacterial Threat

a. Gum Diseaseb. Nanobacteria

1. Toxic Metals2. Emotional Stress3. Gender Factors4. Trans-fatty Acids5. HIgh Blood Pressure6. Genetics7. Radiation

High Insulin and Blood Sugar

Insulin is enzyme produced by pancreas to get glucose and triglycerides into cells for energy production→ High blood sugar leads to high insulin generation → High insulin does not work effectively → Thus glucose and triglycerides cannot enter cells and keep circulating in the bloodSide effectsThicker-sticker blood, raised CRP level, increased clotting tendency, free radical damage to cells, protein glycation, blood vessel spasm/constriction, carbs stored as fats

Homocysteine

Homocysteine = Amino Acid→ plays role in oxidation of Cholesterol → leads to arterial plaque → common cause of CAD

Lipoprotein(a)

Perform basic repair duties in arterial walls→ During inflammation and Vit. C deficiency, Lp(a) works more and influences plaque generation

What causes CVD/CAD?

Fish Oil

1. Omega 3 fatty acidsa. EPA and DHA compounds

2. Slows the rate at which Plaque advances and protects against plaque rupture

3. Decreases Lp(a), Triglycerides, and BP4. Increases HDL5. Reduced arterial wall inflammation6. Improves endothelial function7. Makes blood less sticker and less likely to form clots8. Contributes to bioenergy of the heart muscle9. Omega 3 from flax seed oil have short shelf life and is prone to oxidation

Vitamin C

1. Retards progression of atherosclerosis 2. reverses endothelial dysfunction3. improves recovery following heart attack4. helps control BP5. Keeps CRP in check6. Helps neutralize Lp(a) and vascular wall damage due to homocysteine7. Gets lead out of our system8. Promotes conversion of excess cholesterol into bile acids for fat digestion

Magnesium

1. Serves in more than 300 enzymatic reactions in body, including generation of cellular energy and muscle relaxation; synthesis of fat, protein, and nucleic acids; maintenance of strong bones

2. Endothelial cell friendly. Stabilizes plaque 3. Improves metabolic efficiency of heart muscle cells4. Why magnesium deficiency

a. People don’t eat vegetables, nuts regularlyb. food processing results in vital mineral lossc. Colas contain phosphates, which inactivates magnesiumd. Stress depletes body of magnesium

B Vitamins

1. B-3 (Niacin) raises HDL and reduces LDL2. Homocysteine problem stems from deficiency of three B-complex - B-6,

Folic acid, and B-123. Improves endothelial function4. The B-vitamins participate in the most important aspects of food

metabolism, the production of energy and immune function

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)● Mitochondrion need

Coenzyme Q10 to produce energyneeded by the cells to performtheir actions● Our body is designed to produce

Coenzyme Q 10 but with age thisproduction decreases

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

1. There is widespread deficiency of CoQ10 among CVD patients.2. It is most powerful anti-oxidant known. It protects mitochondria 3. More than 4000 scientific studies and 12 international conferences have

distinguished CoQ10 as a healing superstar and lifesaver. It does all thesea. Generates energy, strength, and vitality, even for older peopleb. reduces mild to moderate hypertensionc. fortifies the immune system against illness, including cancerd. improves nervous system and brain disorderse. protects against gum diseasef. slows down aging processg. It can re energize and rejuvenate heart cells

Other Heart Friendly Vitamins

● Vitamin D● Vitamin E● Vitamin K-2● Garlic
