FEATURE ARTICLE:
VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION
ON HEART DISEASE
Byline: from HSI material
------------------------------------------------------------
Heart disease, also known as CVD (cardiovascular disease), is
one of the biggest killers at the present time.
I have paraphrased some new information for your
benefit. It
was put out by Health Sciences Institute.
A most important key word to your cardiovascular
health is
"homocysteine."
Homocysteine is an amino acid that promotes the
buildup of
plaque on blood vessel walls, causing increased coagulation.
A high homocysteine level can significantly increase
your
risk of heart attack and stroke.
Fortunately, your homocysteine level can be easily
measured
with a simple blood test. And fortunately there are some easy
steps you can take to lower your homocysteine.
Note that your doctor can't prescribe a drug
to lower your
homocysteine level....... because there isn't one.
However, studies have shown that the dietary
intake of FOLATE
may significantly reduce the risk of stroke and heart disease.
And how is that accomplished?
By lowering homocysteine levels.
Homocysteine metabolism depends on nutrients
such as folate,
(folic acid), vitamin B6 and B12. That's why your homocysteine
level drops when you increase your natural intake of folate.
What are the folate-rich foods?
Asparagus, lentils, chickpeas, most varieties
of beans, and
especially spinach and other leafy green vegetables.
Most people who increase their dietary folate
intake -
by eating these foods - respond with a lower
homocysteine reading.
However, it doesn't always happen quite that
easily.
So, if the diet doesn't do the trick, then vitamin
supplements often will.
Folate (or folic acid) and vitamins B6 and B12
can be found
in any health food store or drug store.
So the next time your doctor takes a blood sample,
be sure
to ask about your homocysteine level and discuss this
important issue.
And, meanwhile, do increase your consumption
of folate-rich
foods as much as you can.
*-----------------HOT TIP------------------*
Do your Tibetan Technique
Regimen first thing in the morning,
on an empty stomach. Your body has not had food for a while,
so it will have to delve into your fat cells for the stored
energy to practice it. For information on this world famous
technique click here:
http://www.youngagainforever.com/1.html
-----------------------------------------------------------
LITTLE ACTIONS THAT PRODUCE
BIG RESULTS
------------------------------------------------------------
Reduce your consumption of the fats that kill, and increase
your
consumption of the fats that heal.
An easy way is to take fish oil capsules daily. Be sure to get
a
high quality brand with lots of the fatty acids known as EPA
and
DHA. Cod liver oil is good. Take the capsules immediately after
eating in order to minimize gastric problems.
NB: A recent study of heart attack survivors
found that 1 gram
(or 1,000 mg) of fish oil per day cut the likelihood of sudden
death by as much as 53% over survivors who were given a placebo.
*-----------------SNIPPET------------------*
Elvis Presley was an icon
and role-model for many of
our generation. He was the precursor to a whole new way of
living and of thinking. Even today, as we reflect on the
manner of his death, what strikes us at the core is the
fact that his death was totally avoidable!

PRODUCT REVIEW: The Vision
for Life Program
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Roshmi rates this 5 stars ***** because it has
worked for her.
She no longer wears her glasses.
This exciting program was developed at the internationally
acclaimed Cambridge Institute for Better Vision. It works by
relaxing your eye and other muscles to restore the ability
to see without visual aids.
Results can be seen in 5 weeks or less.

FACT FILE: WEST NILE VIRUS
-------------------------------------------------------------
The West Nile Virus has already caused human
deaths in the US
and Canada this year. Spreading west, from New York, where it
was first identified in North America, it is causing huge panic
and concern.
So lets get acquainted with the facts.
# First identified in Uganda in 1937, but not
seen in North
America till 1999.
# Has already caused 5 deaths in Louisiana, and 34 States have
reported the virus in 2002.
# Spreads primarily through mosquito bites (only female mosquitoes
bite!).
# Most active in late summer and early fall.
# It can affect birds, humans and some animals.
# Mosquitoes carry the virus in their salivary glands, and
transmit the virus by biting.
# Humans are not hosts for the virus, and don't pass it on to
mosquitoes or other humans.
# Birds are hosts, and become infected when female mosquitoes
feed on their blood.
# The virus can live in a bird's bloodstream for up to four
days (giving enough time for other mosquitoes to bite the
birds and so transmit the virus even more).
# The incubation period for infecting humans can be from
five to 15 days.
# People who catch survive West Nile virus become immune to
it.
# Most cases of West Nile virus are mild, and many go unnoticed.
# The elderly are at the greatest risk, specially if they have
weakened immune systems.
# In rare cases it can get severe, leading to encephalitis,
(which can prove fatal).
# Symptoms are high fever, mental confusion, strong headaches,
muscle weakness. Consult your doctor immediately.
# Dead birds in your neighborhood can indicate infiltration
of
the virus in the area, and should be immediately reported.
What can you do about mosquitoes?
We don't know why, but certain people seem to
attract mosquitoes
more than others. Apparently it has something to do with high
levels of vitamin B in the blood. And, each species has its
own
ideas about which humans make the best feast!!
However, science finds the following stimuli
prove attractive
to mosquitoes:
* Movement
* Wearing of dark colors
* Perspiration and body temperature can be detected by the
mosquito's radar
* Smell: Carbon dioxide, released by the skin and found in
human breath, along with lactic acid in the breath, can be
detected by mosquitoes at distances of up to 36 meters
* Floral fragrances of perfumes and personal-care products
* Adults are more likely to be bitten than children
* Young adults rather than old ones (Hey, youth cult in their
realm too?)
* Men are more attractive to them than women (could it be
because it's the female mosquito which bites?).
* Larger people tend to attract more mosquitoes
For people willing to use chemicals, Deet is
the gold standard
ingredient in mosquito repellents used on the skin.
The Electronic bug zappers can actually do more harm than good,
as they kill many beneficial insects.
Citronella is a natural ingredient that is said
to repel
mosquitoes, but we found it had very limited efficacy.
However, Citronella candles, and other scented candles,
are better as they work as a decoy (attracting mosquitoes
to their warm, carbon-monoxide-exuding, scented forms).
In our wide search for a natural repellant, we
read that
the following method seems to have good results:
Add 3 drops of lemon-scented dish-washing liquid
to a shallow
WHITE plate filled with water. For some unknown reason this
seems to kill / drive mosquitoes away. (We didn't try it
out using citronella oil. But maybe we should have.)
*-----------------SNIPPET------------------*
Jay considers himself a
veteran of the mosquito war-zone.
With good reason! He contracted malaria ( another bug
spread by way of mosquito-bites) 4 times in the space of
2 years, while in India studying The Tibetan Technique.
The Tibetan technique is a holistic health and rejuvenation
Regimen devised by Tibetan monks to stimulate the secretion
of hormones to restore youth and vitality. For information on
the technique click here:

GUEST Column : by Michael Stefano
"The Fat Max Zone:
Exercise Intensity Versus Fat Burning "
(Part 1 of 2)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a recent study conducted in England, at the School of Sport
and Exercise at Birmingham University, scientists have identified
the Fat Max Zone. Using 25 moderately trained
individuals, in both graded and constant exercise programs,
researchers have concluded that exercising too intensely will
cause fat burning to markedly drop.
|
Fat oxidation, or fat burning, is something the human
body does quite naturally. Stored body fat, along with
the carbohydrates we consume, become our main source of
fuel, or energy. Fortunately, the human body is very good
at burning fat over a large range of exercise intensities.
However, if your train too intensely, sugar will become
your main source of energy, not fat.
So what's the right intensity to activate all this fat
burning? Scientists involved in the study used maximal
oxygen consumption, or VO2 Max to determine exercise intensity
- VO2 Max being a way of expressing how fit you are by
gauging how much oxygen your body can use at the cellular
level.
|
|
For the best aerobic, or fat burning workout,
the traditional, recommended range is from 50 to 85 percent
of VO2 Max, when using the heart rate reserve formula found
below. This is not to be confused with a simple percentage of
your maximum heart rate.
(Look out for part 2 in the next issue of 'To
Your Health, Letter'. Michael Stefano will tell you in Part
2 how to compute your own FAT MAX ZONE, and so maximize weight
loss and burning of body fat)
