Take Care of Your Heart

How to begin the journey of taking the strain off your heart?

During the month of February, our minds may be on Valentine’s Day romance, but we shouldn’t forget to give a little love to our hearts. Our hearts work tirelessly, without rest or pause, over the course of our lifetimes providing us with an average of 70 to 75 beats per minute, or more than 100 thousand beats a day.

When given regular exercise and a healthy diet rich in nutrients, a typical human heart will beat around 2.5 billion times by age 70. Unfortunately, statistics point out that too many hearts fall short of that milestone. As it’s American Heart Month, it’s time to spread awareness that one in every three deaths is from heart disease or stroke.

What’s more worrisome is that risk of heart disease may be underestimated, according to a new 50-year-long analysis performed by University of Texas Southwest Medical Center researchers. The researchers categorized for “high-risk” markers of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, overweight or obesity, history of smoking, and diabetes and found that the risk of death from heart disease for most adults remains high over a lifetime with:

• white men having 36 percent risk
• black men having 33 percent risk
• women (both black and white) having 27 percent risk

Previously, doctors have only flagged the presence of all or most of the risk factors as a cause for concern. The researchers, who published their findings in the New England Journal of Medicine, demonstrated that this approach is not adequate to predict development, at least in the long-term. They showed that people with just two or more risk factors increased their lifetime risk of developing heart disease by about 34 percent in men and 17 percent in women, compared to people with less than two risk factors.
Their findings may help explain why, according to the latest report (2) released by the American Heart Association (AHA) in conjunction with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately one American dies of cardiovascular disease every 39 seconds, with nearly 33 percent of these deaths occurring before the age of 75, well before the predicted average lifespan for Americans of 78 years.
Once again, these statistics are presented alongside the baffling reality that heart disease is completely preventable. Every risk factor can be mitigated or eliminated by simply choosing a heart-healthy lifestyle.
Heart-healthy Lifestyle
How to begin the journey of taking the strain off your heart? Regular exercise and quitting smoking are critical, and so is eating a diet rich in antioxidants and fiber, as well as maintaining a healthy weight. Excess weight, the kind carried around the middle in particular, can put major strain on the heart and contributes to risk factors such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and high triglycerides.
For help doing away with risk factors, there’s Isagenix—the Cleansing and Fat Burning System with Ageless Essentials Daily Pack is nutritionally sound and is clinically shown to help people meet their weight-management goals. The system’s Shake Days help control calories and its Cleanse Days help trigger healthy fat burning and promote natural detoxification while resting the liver. In addition, the system maximizes nutrition, providing all-important antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin E and coQ10, while also including fish omega-3 fatty acids to keep the heart going strong into old age (3-4).*
Regular add-ons such as SlimCakes or FiberSnacks! are also excellent for supplementing a fruit-and-vegetable-rich diet for heart-healthy fiber, which is largely absent in the American diet.** IsaDelight Plus chocolates can also be included as delicious, guilt-free snacks that can curb cravings assisting with weight loss (5).
Regardless of how we take care of ourselves, every heartbeat should serve as a small reminder this month of the statistics given above, the role of the heart, and to make choices showing we appreciate what it does for us daily as long as we live.

Hyperaldosteronism (Conn's syndrome)

My sister has suffered for many years and I wanted to post her story in case someone can benefit from her information.

I finally got a diagnosis in Salt Lake City by an endocrinologist from Iran.  I met with her and after tests,labs etc. she told me I have Hyperaldosteronism(Conn's syndrome)!

It's a disease of adrenal gland.  My left adrenal gland has a tumor inside of it causing an overproduction of aldosterone etc.   This has caused all kinds of problems for me for years.  Lucky I haven't had a stroke, but still at high risk for one.

The doctors have been checking for other adrenal diseases but not this one, til now!!!

Met with the adrenal surgeon last week in Salt Lake City and am having the tumor and adrenal gland removed at Intermountain Medical Center in Salt Lake City.  I will be in the hospital a day or two so they can closely monitor me.

I have been getting worse and worse with more blood pressure meds, seizure meds, tons of pills a day, and still ended up in ER not too long ago with 188/105 bp, heart racing, etc.

The surgeon said I have had this tumor at least 10 or 15 years, but as it has slowly grown it started causing problems.

This condition is so rare and hard to diagnose,

I'm so grateful to finally find out. So after, day by day see how my body adjusts,etc, and taper off alot of meds. I'll only have one adrenal gland and hopefully it will work!!

I still have thyroid disease and other things, but this should help me alot.

You can google this to read more about it.

Miracles do happen, you just have to be patient.
