    The lea ding cause o death in the United States is rom car diac(heart) disease. It is crucial that Americans o all ages be concerned

    about and identiy their Cardiac Risks. In this article I will outline

    some modiiable and non-modiiable risk actors, certain tests

    which are important to obtain as a part o routine health screen-

    ing & lastly some measures to take to reduce the risks. To deine

    Cardiac Disease, we mean to say, atherosclerosis o the coronary

    arteries or the hardening o the arteries that eed the heart muscle.

    In general there are several established risk actors that include:

    Family History, Advanced Age, Male Gender, Postmenopausal

    Status in Women, Tobacco Use, Diabetes & Kidney Failure, Thyroid

    dysunction, Hypertension, Elevated Cholesterol (LDL), Low HDL-

    C, Elevated Homocysteine, Lp (a), Sedentary Liestyle, Increased

    States o Inlammation, Poor Nutrition, Elevated Fibrinogen, Low

    Socioeconomic status, and Low circulating Antioxidants. Traditionally

    physicians have ocused on amily history, hypertension, tobacco

    use, gender, cholesterol, sedentary liestyle & diabetes. It is becom-

    ing increasingly clear that there are other independent risk actors

    that should be assessed or the simple reason that coronary artery

    disease (CAD) can be ound in people with negative amily history

    and normal cholesterol levels. There is probably too much emphasis

    today ocused exclusively on lowering total cholesterol and LDL-C

    when it is apparent rom research and population studies that

    these risk actors are not impacting many o the patients with CAD.

    Checking the oxidized-LDL may actually be more important as well

    as total oxidative load and total oxidative protection index, than just

    a standard lipid prole. Assessing Vitamin A, Beta-carotene levels,Vitamin C and Tocopherol (Vit. E) levels may also play an important

    role. Vitamins B-6, B12 and Folate should also be measured since

    they play a major role in metabolism and elimination o homocyste-

    ine. Another vitamin like substance known as ubiquinone or coen-

    zyme Q10 has a tremendous role in cardiac health. Studies mostly out

    o Japan have shown that deciencies in coenzyme Q10 can throw

    a patient into congestive heart ailure. Certainly assessing serum

    levels o coenzyme Q10 may be important in certain individuals.

    Those olk s with elevated Lipoprotein (a) or Lp(a) have an increased

    risk o coronary artery disease, again that is something that should

    be checked as part o a comprehensive cardiac risk assessment.

    Elevated Fibrinogen, which can cause blood to clot abnormally, is also

    another testable independent risk actor. Homocysteine has come to

    the oreront lately ater the publishing o studies and a text by Dr.Kilmer McCully as yet another important independent risk actor or

    heart disease. While this is now just becoming more routine in cardiac

    testing it certainly is a treatable risk actor that patients should be aware.

    Unortunately there are some non-modiable risk actors that dey

    treatment such as amily history (probably the strongest o all risk

    actors), advanced age (hormonal considerations), the male g en-

    der, and low socioeconomic status. But identiying modiable risk

    actors and implementing changes will drastically lessen a persons

    risk or coronary disease and heart attack, especially i a person has

    one or more non-modiable risk actors. These modiable actors

    are the postmenopausal state in women, tobacco usage, diabetes

    (managing high glucose levels), maintaining proper thyroid unc-

    tion, controlling high blood pressures, decreasing elevated levels

    o cholesterol, decreasing elevated homocysteine levels, lowering

    circulating inlammatory mediators, improving nutrition, increas-

    ing circulating antioxidants and implementing an exercise program.

    For your own good cardiac health it is important to seek out those

    proactive physicians who will order both the esoteric as well as the

    routine cardiac risk proles. Also it should be pointed out that the

    endpoint o all therapies to lower risk o coronary artery disease is the

    reduction o plaques on the arteries. Thereore, studies should be per-

    ormed as a baseline and to determine i therapy is eective via non-

    invasive Electron Beam (or Siral) CT scan o the heart or calcium score.

    The higher on the arch, the higher the contribution

    o the risk actor to heart disease. Five o the eight controllable

    risk actors are largely under the control o diet.

    Did You Knw??Were you aware that coronary heart disease is the leading cause o deathin the U.S. and the leading cause o death caused by smoking? Its true.According to the U.S. Department o Health and Human Services smokingand heart disease are strongly related. Smoking is hard on the heart, andthe toxins in cigarette smoke cause plaques to orm in your arteries, whichleads to atherosclerosis, otherwise known as hardening o the arteries.

    Atherosclerosis is a progressive hardening o the arteries caused by thedeposit o atty plaques and the scarring and thickening o the artery wall.Infammation o the artery wall and the developmento blood clots can obstruct the fow o bloodto the heart and cause heart attacks or strokes.

    Cigarette smoking has been associated withsudden cardiac death o all types in both menand women. Smoking-related coronary heartdisease may contribute to congestive heart ailure..

    Patient StoriesWhat is the deal with this WellnessOne all about? I had driven

    by it several times and never took the time to stop and ind out.

    Several issues were going on in my lie and no one, mainly doc-

    tors, wanted to hear about all o them. Separation o my body parts

    and my needs had to be armed out to dierent specialists and

    modalities(treatments-sometimes my nursing background sneaks

    in). Sick o that mentality and being in pain led me to WellnessOne.

    Opening their door was by ar the most helpul thing I have or mysel

    in a long time. Greeted by a most delightul and caring reception-

    ist was to be only the beginning! An appointment was made or the

    next day or a massage since I was having muscle pain everywhere. I

    have bromyalgia and was having a fare-up. I, also, was looking or a

    riendly, compassionate and proessional massage therapist. Not only

    was Darin a ne and knowledgeable massage therapist he became a

    major orce in my lie. He not only greatly exceeded all o my expec-

    tations as ar as medical needs but also lled my inspirational needs.

    As time passed, WellnessOne became my home away rom home-I threat-

    ened to bring my pillow and take over a room repeatedly. Expansion

    has been a welcome site as it brings more riends to meet-both clients

    and sta. Small inormational chats have been beneicial to clients

    and amily members. I have loved going to these meetings as it makes

    any problems easy to discuss and I get answers that are highly helpul.

    Dr. Saleeby is a most welcomed addition to the sta. He was con-

    cerned with ME and not my chart. A plan was prescribed or my

    health needs and not my illness. The diet, massage, inared booth

    and eventually chiropractic intervention helped me to nd mysel. Dr.

    Ed Thomas, the chiropractor with best southern accent I ever heard,

    has given me more mobility than I thought possible. No medicationI took ever gave me pain-ree days like I now have. Having to have a

    MRI, see a pain management doctor and a physical therapist or severe

    arthritis in my back I, now, have all my needs met at WellnessOne.

    Oh, lest I orget, colonic hydrotherapy was in my uture treat-

    ment. All, OK most, o the toxins in my digestive system have been

    cleared out in a ew treatments. Never elt so clean and empty in my

    lie! The newest equipment and the proessionalism shown to me

    made this experience pleasant(HAHA) instead o embarrassing. You

    should try it sometime. My muscle pains, headaches and digestive

    problems have cleared entirely or been lessened to a great degree.

    My attitude is back-I am rom Upstate NY, and the real me has been

    released! Activity was absent and now is a welcome addition

    back in my lie. Aches and pains are not my lead in with conversa-

    tion. What can we go do and when are we going is where I am com-

    ing rom now. O course, WellnessOne, is highly recommended

    to my amily, riends, acquaintances and healthcare providers.

    My needs have been met, both physical and emotional. I have a new

    understanding o my needs and have learned how to control them and

    not have them control me. Heartelt thanks to all I have met and now

    count as riends at WellnessOne -the most interested in You place to be!

    Health Matters!with Kristen

    YOUR LIQUID ASSETS.WATER!No matter what..DRINK WATER. And then when you are

    done, drink some more. And then some more. But water

    is boring right? Not reallynot i you look at how absolutely

    essential it is to your health, and ultimately your happiness!

    It took me a while to understand just how important water is to

    my every day. I went a LONG time not drinking enough water,

    or just drinking the 8 glasses or so a day you hear you need

    growing up. No one told me when I was younger how impor-

    tant water was. That was because when you are young you

    can stand to live o o Capri Sun and Mello Yello. That is how I

    remember my ormative years. I can actually remember drink-

    ing a Mello Yello every single morning beore schoolor years.

    I would explode i I did that now. Makes me sick just thinking

    about it. As you get older, and i you choose to live a healthy

    liestyle, you must drink lots and lots and lots o H2O! I I go a

    day without drinking enough water, it is the rst thing I eel the

    next day. I am usually sti, with a bad headache, and a zapped

    energy level. Drinking a healthy amount o water is vital to your

    health. You gain tremendous health beneits and sometimes

    can even throw away your migraine medicine or pain killer.

    Water not only helps your body to absorb all the essential nutri-

    ents that it needs but it also helps to convert your ood into

    energy! How cool is that? This is magniied when you lead

    an active liestyle and get plenty o exercise. While exercis-ing you should drink water beore, during and ater. The more

    vigorous your exercise, the more water youll need. Water

    also cushions your joints, protects your vital organs, regu

    -lates your bodys temperature and aids in removing waste.

    Th in k ab ou t it th is wa yA bou t 70 % o th e ea rth s su r-

    ace is water-covered but water also exists in the air as

    water vapor, in the ground as soil moisture and even in

    your dog! It is everywhere. And in your body is no dier-

    ent. Water composes 90% o your brain, accounts or 22% o

    bones, makes up 75% o muscles, and makes up 83% o blood.

    S o m e m o r e b e n e i t s t o d r i n k i n g w a t e r i n c l u d e :

    Lose Weight : Drinking water helps you lose weight

    because it lushes down the by-products o at break-

    down. It also reduces hunger. Plus, water has ZERO calories!

    Look Younger: You will not only eel younger, but you will look

    younger when your skin is properly hydrated. Water helps to

    replenish tissues, moisturizes skin and increases skin elasticity.Helps in Digestion and Constipation: Drinking water raises your

    metabolism because it helps in digestion. Water and ber goes

    hand in hand so that you can have your daily bowel movement.

    Reduces the Risk o Cancer: Related to the digestive system, some

    studies show that drinking a healthy amount o water may reduce

    the risks o bladder cancer and colon cancer. Water dilutes the

    concentration o cancer-causing agents in the urine and shortens

    the time in which they are in contact with the bladder lining.

    I you are intrigued but eel like you need to ease into drinking

    this boring beverage in bulk, start small. Try drinking a favored

    water, a coconut water or aloe water. These are good but only in

    moderation. The reason these drinks taste so yummy is because

    they are favored with lots o sugar. Mineral water is good too.

    Are you reaching or that nice tall glass yet? I AM! Trust

    meYour body will end up thanking you in the long run!
