clogged arteries and what you can do to help!!!

I have been researching clogged arteries, I was under the impression that fat clogged the arteries but this is not the case.
Bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein) is among the leading cause of clogged arteries. When the body produces optimum levels of  good cholesterol then the bad cholesterol leaves the arterial walls through the bloodstream via the liver. If our bodies are low in good cholesterol then the bad cholesterol levels go up and clog the arterial walls to make way for poor heart health, leading to strokes, heart attacks and disease.
It's easy to keep our bodies in check and have good cholesterol by exercising and eating healthy foods, (more fruit and vegetables).

Artery based plaque is a build up of cholesterol, calcium and fat, this is another cause of clogged arteries and poor heart health. Everyone has small amounts of arterial plaque, which can lead to strokes,heart attacks and heart disease. Plaque is the common cause of coronary artery disease.
There is no escaping having small amounts of plaque in our bodies but exercise and healthy eating are the best ways to combat plaque build up. Trying to lower stress levels are also a must.

I was talking to a Guy at a conference I went to and he was explaining about mega-chel this can be used  as a blood cleaner, you will need to build up the dosage gradually.
To effectively deal with cleansing the arteries and improving circulation it is recommended you take a bottle of mega-chel for every decade of life. It will take a few months but the outcome is worth it.
The first week start with one tablet twice daily, increasing to two tablets twice daily at week two. Increase to the maximum dose of five to six tablets twice daily by week six. Stay on this dose until you have completed the month per decade, then decrease gradually back to two tablets twice a day which you will stay on for healthy heart maintenance. I would also recommend super omega3 as well.
As you are cleansing the arteries, you need to build up to the dosage gradually so the desloughing is done a little at a time. We are looking to break down the bad stuff that clings onto the walls of the vessels in tiny bits and not big chunks which could cause problems.



 

Great information on the foods we grow

How to help your brain

SUPER BRAIN FOODS YOU CAN FIND IN THE SUPERMARKET 

The world we live in requires us to stay mentally sharp, but unfortunately the average persons diet is not helping us stay alert and firing on all cylinders.

Life demands more and more from our brain but the food we consume may be giving us lots of calories without the nutrients we need to meet these demands.

It isn't hard to find the nutrient-dense foods your brain is craving, so next time your in the supermarket pass up the processed and sugary items for some of these brain-healthy alternatives:

You want foods that provide 4 things:

Omega 3's of Flax seed

Antioxidants

Anti-inflammation

Blood circulation

Or try these natural supplements instead omega 3,  flax seed oil, antioxidant, blood circulatory, brain protex, brain food, energ-v

Why do we need daily nutrition

We are very good at making sure every year our cars are put through an MOT, and a service to make sure that the oil in our car keeps the engine working, water in the pipes so the car does not overheat, etc....If there is a problem then we will spend money on making sure it is safe to drive as our lives are very precious.
So why do we not look after our bodies like we do our cars??

Our kitchen has been hijacked by the food industry. How many times per week do you eat out?
How many times a week do you get a ready meal or a take away and not cooking from scratch?

Our tongue can be fooled, and your brain can become addicted to a combination of fat, salt, sugar which are pumped into our foods. Unfortunately our biochemistry can not handle these foods, this is why so many people are overweight or obese.
Due to this problem people are now becoming more exposed to pre-diabetes or diabetes, in the next decade the amount of teenagers at risk of the condition will increase. We are all at risk of cardiovascular factors - high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high blood sugar. When compared to our  ancestors our diets and lifestyle have changed considerably and these changes have had a negative effect on the quality of our health. The food industry is making our future generation sick.

Supplements are also a good way of getting the nutrients that you need, just to keep our energy levels up so that the quick sugar fix doesn't hit us over and over again.

In 1992 The Earth Summit Report revealed a potential loss of 72% of the mineral content in the soils of Europe in the last 100 years due to modern day intensive farming practices. Consequently these depleted soils can produce crops that are tasteless and have a poor nutritional content. Farming changed during World War 2 as we needed farming practices to produce crops so that people wouldn't starve. Therefore they started to use pesticides so that they could start growing more vegetables for consumption.

Pesticides have been linked to a wide range of human health hazards, ranging from short term impacts such as headaches and nausea to chronic impacts like cancer, reproductive harm, and endocrine disruption.
Acute dangers - such as nerve, skin, and eye irritation and damage, headaches, dizziness, nausea, fatigue, and systemic poisoning - can sometimes be dramatic, and even occasionally fatal. Pesticides can cause many types of cancer in humans. Some of the prevalent forms include leukemia, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, brain, bone, breast, ovarian, prostate, testicular and liver cancers.
In February 2009, the agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry published a study that found that children who live in homes where their parents use pesticides are twice as likely to develop brain cancer versus those that live in residences in which no pesticides are used.

In recent years Nature Sunshine have seen increased availability of organic produce. Organic farmers allow their land to rest between crops to rebuild the nutritional content in the soil naturally. In addition, organic foods are not sprayed with toxic chemical pesticides. As well as reducing the toxic burden on the body and our environment, organically produced food is usually more nourishing.

The nutritional value and purity of supplements are equally important and for this reason Nature Sunshine use the finest organic ingredients which are free from pesticides, herbicides and fungicides.
Other supplementation can have in supplements NOT Nature Sunshine supplements you will find: Dirt, wood chips, insects, cement, pesticides, aluminium, lead, arsenic, batteries, mercury, corn syrup, talk.

Food is harvested to early, How many of you would buy a black banana? Or an apple with a bruise?
Due to the banana being harvested early it is green so therefore has very little nutritional value if any.

 
When the food  has been harvested it is put into cold storage to stop the crop from aging, so that when you buy it in the supermarket it is appealing.

A well balanced diet - Very few people can claim to eat a well balanced diet, even those who do will assume that their food is nutritionally rich and may not take into consideration the lack of nutrients resulting from intensive farming practices, manufacturing methods and storage processes. Our modern lifestyle can also be demanding and many people choose to supplement their diet with additional vitamins, minerals and plant extracts in order to stay healthy.

With regards to processed foods eating wholemeal or brown rice, brown pasta is better for you as this is how it should be....White bread, flour etc has been bleached to make it more appealing.

Years ago our ancestors would wake up to a full breakfast of bacon and eggs, which is high in protein, a great way to start the day. Proteins are an important part of your bones, muscles and skin. Proteins are in every living cell in our bodies.

Food is often over cooked, I have been brought up eating soft vegetables when they should be slightly crunchy, this destroys many of the enzymes in the food.

Indigestion is a very common problem, it is estimated that over 40% of the population have experienced indigestion at some point in their lives. The stomach produces acid to help the digestion of foods, the stomach is very sensitive to the acid so has a protective lining. On occasions the protective lining isn't adequate so the acid comes into contact with the cells lining the stomach leading to inflammation and irritation.
In most cases of indigestion it is caused by eating, but other causes can be due to medication that we take or an infection.

When we become ill we go to the Doctors, or go to the chemist for anything that can help us to feel so much better, but the side effects are huge. I have been looking into lots of alternative forms of holistic medication, supplements and the best form that I have found is what I am offering you.
A polluted world - we are all exposed to a cocktail of toxins on a daily basis from our food, water and the air we breathe. Increased levels of toxins can cause toxicity and excess free radical damage.

Psyllium

 Psyllium is a soluble fiber which is used as a gentle bulk forming laxative.
It comes from a shrub/herb called "Plantago Ovata" which grows all over the world but is most common in India. Each shrub can produce up to 15000 tiny gel coated seed, from which psyllium husk is derived.
The soluble fiber found in the psyllium husks can help lower cholesterol, it can help relieve both constipation and diarrhea and is used to treat irritable bowel syndrome, hemorrhoids and other intestinal problems. Psyllium has also been used to help regulate blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. When the psyllium husk comes in contact with water, it swells and forms a gelatin that helps transport waste through the intestinal system.

Constipation -Many studies have shown that psyllium relieves constipation. Psyllium is widely used in Asia, Europe and North America. When the psyllium contacts water it swells and produces more bulk, which stimulates the intestine to contract and helps speed the passage of stool through the digestive tract.

Diabetes - Studies show that a high fiber diet may help to lower insulin and lower blood sugar levels and help reduce cholesterol levels in people with diabetes. It may also help reduce the chance of becoming diabetic for those that are of a higher risk.

Diarrhea - Psyllium can help to relieve mild to moderate diarrhea as it soaks up water in the digestive tract which helps to make the stools harder and slower to pass through the digestive system.

Heart disease - Having a high fiber diet (adding psyllium) may help to reduce the risk of heart disease. Studies have shown that a diet  high in water soluble fiber is associated with lower triglyceride levels, and lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

Hemorrhoids - Psyllium can help to soften the stools and reduce pain associated with hemorrhoids

High Blood Pressure - Adding fiber especially psyllium, to your diet may help to reduce blood pressure. In one studies over a six month period using psyllium fiber significantly systolic and diastolic blood pressure in overweight people with hypertension.

High Cholesterol - Soluble fibers such as flax seed oil, loclo, and bowel build guar gum and oat bran can help to lower cholesterol when added to a low fat, low cholesterol diet.

Inflammatory bowel disease IBD - Studies have found conflicting results, Psyllium for mild to moderate cases of diarrhea from either ulcerative colitis or Crohns disease was as effective as any prescription drug in maintaining remission.

Irritable Bowel Syndrome IBS - Several studies found that soluble fiber helps relieve some symptoms of IBS, such as diarrhea and constipation.

Obesity - studies and clinical reports suggest that psyllium may help you feel fuller and reduce hunger cravings.

I have been taking bowel build for two months now as I have suffered for so many years with constipation (I wasn't expecting it to work) I had been back and forth to the Doctors and the hospital and have taken so many different prescription drugs (which are so full of chemicals, and the side effects are awful that I couldn't go out) so I have studied and read about different herbal remedies and found this.  I took 4 tablets in the morning and 4 tablets with my evening meal, I took the same the next morning and by the afternoon the tablets started to work. I really started to notice a difference within a few days, I felt I had more energy, felt so much better in myself. I don't worry about going out now,  I am now taking 2/3 in the morning and the same in the evening.
