Heart Disease Treatments-The Power of Coenzyme Q10

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

If you currently have heart disease and are looking for natural heart disease treatments, or just is interested ways to prevent heart disease, have you heard about the power of Coenzyme Q10?

Coenzyme Q10 has exploded onto the health scene. This powerful mineral has many health saving properties. It is responsible for essential chemical reactions in your body as well as being a dynamite antioxidant.

What’s more, Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 occurs naturally in your body, (and that’s good), but unfortunately, as you age, have nutritional deficiencies or get sick you are producing less of this essential mineral.

And check this out…studies show that an estimated 25% deficiency will cause serious metabolic health problems. At 75%, death will follow and that would mean no more birthday cake for you!

CoQ10 plays a key role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) needed for energy production in every cell. It also has a powerful antioxidant that helps guard against damage from free radicals.

And that is just for starters, cardiologist Peter Langsjorn explains “Like the vitamins discovered in the early part of this century, CoQ10 is an essential element of food that can now be used medically.”

It gets even better…

Here are just a few of the health benefits:

Weight Loss – stimulates your bodies metabolism

Healthy Gums – suppresses gingival inflammation

Male Fertility – improves sperm mobility and protects free radical injury

Cardiovascular – improvement of symptoms in cardiac and congestive heart failure patients. It’s a natural heart disease treatment and prevention supplement.

Immune System – significantly enhances function

In various other studies CoQ10 was a tremendous benefit in lowering high blood pressure and helped with angina and congestive heart failure.

So you may be asking yourself, “Wow, where do I find this stuff??” well, good news and bad news. A small amount, 10 to 20 milligrams of CoQ10, can be found in fish and organ meats of animals. Well…that slowed me down a little! I don’t like organ meats of animals, do you? Yuck! Here is another solution. An easily available source of this nutrient is in many high quality nutritional systems.

Safe scientific formulated blends of vitamins and minerals including CoQ10 are specially formulated for maximum absorption. For adults taking Coenzyme Q10 in a supplement, the optimal amount should be between 30 and 90 mg per day. Under a doctors care, higher amounts may be prescribed.

Regardless of age or health almost everybody would benefit from taking CoQ10 daily. Our health and quality of life are based on feeling good and having healthy energy supplies.

And really people… this is so much better for your energy levels than a cigarette and a diet soda!

So, if you are looking for a natural supplement for heart disease treatments and prevention, I’d certainly consider taking this supplement.

Women’s Women’s Heart Attack-How to Act Now to Live Longer

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Can you reverse and even prevent having a heart attack? The answer is yes, with positive actions and lifelong habits that will keep you healthy. The following list of important lifestyle habits will show you many factors that will keep your heart healthy and working fine.

One of the most important ways to prevent heart disease is to get moving. Exercise lowers inflammation, helps to take off weight and redistribute weight, and also reduces the feeling of stress. If you cannot do a full out 90 minutes at one time, spread the exercise out over seven days, and make the commitment to do this every week. Studies have found that exercise does not have to be done all at one time to be beneficial. The key is to have the regular exercise and not to miss working out in a manner that makes you feel good. This could be aerobic, such as tennis or basketball or it could be weight lifting or house cleaning. You can even vary the exercise week by week and keep your weekly exercise fun.

Controlling blood pressure is another important issue to many Americans. A high blood pressure will make your heart work harder and can create a major risk factor in having a heart attack if not controlled. Have your doctor check your blood pressure with each visit and also make sure that his recommendations are followed. He may recommend exercise, a prescription, or other general health ideas because he knows your whole health outlook. Listen to his thoughts and take action as blood pressure is very important to your overall heart health.

An often overlooked way to control your risk of a heart attack is as simple as staying calm. A person who is constantly worrying about things they cannot control is a person who has a chance of developing heart disease. You can lower stress in many ways, find the right way for you. Maybe it’s a walk in a garden, writing in a journal, or listening to music that you like. Whatever it is, try to end each day with a calming activity. When feeling nervous practice thinking calming thoughts and reducing stress.

Diet can also contribute to heart disease. We all know to limit fat in our diet and to get our cholesterol checked regularly. You want the good, or HDL, levels to be high and the bad, or LDL, to be low. Reducing Trans fats and hydrogenated oils will get the cholesterol levels that are recommended by your doctor.

Reading a food label becomes important to overall health and especially to preventing heart disease. Eat low in fat and cholesterol. Every label in the grocery store is written for a person on a 2,000 calorie a day diet. Adjust your daily intake to meet your nutrition goals. You will want to keep fat to 20-30% of your daily calories and carbohydrates to about 130 per day. It is important to eat whole grains as they not only prevent heart disease but help in maintaining and preventing diabetes. Keeping salt or sodium content within a normal range of about 2,000 mg a day will help a great deal to prevent heart and stroke problems.

Overall, there is no reason not to take simple steps to maintain your heart and general health. Some of these recommendations are simple to incorporate into your daily living and most can become a habit very easily. Remember, no one else cares as much about your body as you should. It is the only one you have and it is your decisions that will influence the quality of your life now and in the future.
