Some Healthy Heart Tips

By Dr. Bill

I'm still enjoying what native Floridians describe as "cool weather." That would be when the temperature is in the 70's. In Long Island, where I have spent a good portion of my life, that is a heat wave of monstrous proportions this time of year. Here when it is in the 70's I am peeling things off, and this time in Long Island I am always putting things on.

I always find myself laughing at what my chef friend said to me many years ago, "If you like heat, get a job in a kitchen. If you really like heat, get a job in a really busy kitchen."

I had the fun experience of walking by a broiler one day and I can assure you my friend wasn't kidding. That broiler in particular ran at 850 degrees. Great for steak, not so much for people working within ten feet.

Moving on to fitness, here are some heart health tips for the day.

1. Heart attacks don't just happen when you're 65 or older - not that I'm considering that to be old, lately. In fact the demographic is getting younger and younger. Women aren't safe either - breast cancer has now taken second place to heart disease for the most common cause of death.

2. Nutrition is very important. That whole "eat the rainbow" thing is actually good advice. Vegetables and fruits come in lots of different colors. Brighter colors mean more anti-oxidants.

3. If you're experiencing some impotence, or E.D., and you're over the age of 35, it could be a sign of artery blockages. Have it checked out by a cardiologist as soon as you can. You don't have to wait for your annual physical.

One of the best habits for your heart is to take enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Even doctors are understanding this.

The National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence is advising physicians to provide fish oil to patients who have suffered heart attacks.

I completely agree with that, but it's useless for preventing cardiac events.

An article in my newspaper this morning mentioned a professional baseball player who took fish oil for his aching joints. The result? He's coming back to play much earlier than expected.

In the Institute study I mentioned earlier, omega-3 fatty acids cut the incidence of recurring sudden death by heart attack 45%.

Which is why I don't wait to recommend fish oil. I always say, start now. - 17273

How probiotics can benefit you.

If you know what probiotics are all about and understand the benefits behind them, you might be more inclined to take advantage of the free sample offered to new customers of Probiotics Complete.

The basis of Probiotics.

Probiotics are small organisms that help maintain the natural balance of other organisms in the intestines. Probiotics may be a safe and natural approach that helps curb the population of unwanted bacteria that cause microbial infections. The largest group of probiotic bacteria in the intestine is lactic acid bacteria. Research indicates probiotics will help reduce:

* Removes the bloating feeling and cases of diarrhea

Using probiotics can increase the beneficial bacteria that will help stop you from getting urinary tract infections, yeast infections and other infections as well.

Foods that Build Muscle Fast

By Wakelin Smith

Eating to build muscle is an important part of your bodybuilding program. Eating food that helps build muscle will ensure that you are not wasting all that hard work you are doing in the gym.

Lifting weights forces your muscles to work hard, and can also cause minor injury to muscles. Although those injuries can heal very quickly, eating the right foods that build muscle can really speed up the process. Food supplies fuel that the body needs, and the right food can do wonders.

Most people, when thinking of the types of food that helps build muscle, immediately think of eating a low fat diet. For sure that is correct, but probably the most important type of foods that build muscle are foods containing high levels of protein. Foods like meat, fish, chicken, eggs, cheese and other milk products.

Calculating how much protein you should be eating can be tricky. Ask at your gym as to your daily protein requirement. It depends on your weight, and on your lean mass weight (basically the weight of all your bones and organs, minus all body fat).

Foods that build muscle include carbohydrates. So long as the carbohydrates you ingest include plenty of fibre, carbs will contribute to building muscle mass ? not body fat. Great carbohydrate based foods include rice, oatmeal, bananas and other types of fruit such as apples and pears.

Reducing fat in your diet is also important when considering what foods build muscle mass. I said earlier that protein is essential for the best muscle building nutrition. The problem is that many protein sources are also high in fat. The key, therefore, is to eating plenty of proteins that are low in fat. So cut all the fat off your meat, and the skin off your chicken, and drink low fat milk instead of the full fat variety.

Drinking sufficient water with your meals, between meals, and while you are working out is also very important. Two litres of water a day is what most experts recommend to maintain optimal health. Regular bodybuilding workouts are also essential to maximise the effects of good bodybuilding diets.

Foods that build muscle are one of the two essential components to having the body of your dreams. The other component is your weight training program or other type of bodybuilding workouts that you engage in regularly. - 17273

Adaptogens, Nitric Oxide, and Stress Treatment

By Nichelino Warner

One of the most important molecules in our body is Nitric oxide or NO. Like a person directing traffic in a busy intersection, nitric oxide directs the communication between the busiest cells in the body to include blood cells, brain cells, and immune system cells.

Nitric oxide (NO) helps keep our body functioning properly. It helps maintain a normal blood pressure, helps in clear thinking, and is even responsible for helping our body fight infections. NO also helps prevent atherosclerosis and blood clots. Diseases associated with aging can, in many instances, be associated with a deficiency of Nitric oxide.

Nitric Oxide (NO) metabolites are substances that can help the body by balancing its chemistry or biochemistry with regards to Nitric Oxide. A study looking at Nitric Oxide activity was recently conducted on certain adaptogens and adaptogen formulas. The results of the study showed that some of these formulas contained natural forms of Nitric Oxide metabolites.

Adaptogens are unique plants that thrive in some of the harshest environments in the world, the Tunguska area of Siberia is one of them. They have the ability to create a balance in the human body, allowing cells to adjust to stress. A Russian scientist, Dr. Nicholai Lazarev, discovered 10 plants that fit into this category called adaptogens.

Following in Dr. Lazarev's footsteps, Professor Brekman noted that adaptogens have the ability to normalize the entire body, rather than any one specific organ. Dr. Lazarev was the first to define an adaptogen as a plant that helps the body resist stresses like fatigue, trauma, and anxiety.

Back to the Nitric Oxide component! The older we get, the less our body has the ability to make Nitric Oxide. Things that can reduce our Nitric Oxide cache are poor diet, stress, and environmental toxins. The best thing we can do for ourselves is to eat for good nutrition, get plenty of sleep, and exercise.

There is a long list of ailments related to insufficient Nitric Oxide within the body. Elevated blood pressure, Alzheimers, coronary heart disease, stroke, diabetes, are just a few.

In every case it seems that the higher we can raise the nitric oxide levels, the better the patient responds. Restoring nitric oxide production has become one of the main strategies of treating and protecting against many diseases.

Stress can kill both your reserves and ability to make new Nitric Oxide. Adaptogens are one of the best forms of Stress Treatment . It's been shown that foods considered to be good antioxidants, like adaptogens, also help the body produce Nitric Oxide.

Nitric Oxide levels in some adaptogen compounds are high enough to restore a persons NO balance. These compounds can help defend against heart disease, stroke, and inflammation.

Make sure you do your research when looking for good adaptogen formulas. There are a lot of products out there with very little clinical backing. You can purchase them in some health food stores but I recommend doing some background investigation on the internet first. - 17273

Review: Sanyo DR6700K Massage Chair

By Steve Esquire

This is a product review of the high end Sanyo DR-6700 massage chair. Sanyo boasts a full line of massage chairs. The DR-6700 is the model just below the DR7700 which is the top of the line model for Sanyo. We will evaluate some of the advanced electronic features and massage functions of the DR 6700. Here is our evaluation of the Sanyo DR6700 massage chair recliner.

We will start with the warranty coverage. We always advise to go with a recognized massage chair brand. These national brands will have adequate warranty coverage and will be quick and responsive if an issue were to arise. You do not want a no-name brand that then does not stock parts and provides poor service, if at all.

Sanyo provides the warranty coverage for the DR-6700 massage chair. The warranty coverage is as follows: You get three years coverage for the roller mechanism. This is the device that provides the massage for your back, neck and shoulders. Otherwise, the rest of the chair gets 1 year for both parts and labor. One good part of the coverage is the one year of in home technician service.

The DR 6700 comes with 4 automatic massage programs. These are one-touch massage programs. They are based around the following themes: Stiffness, Recovery, Fine and Relax. With the touch of a button, the DR6700 will provide a full body massage for the time set. These programs run the whole chair, so all you have to do is sit back and relax.

There are also many manual options for your relaxation needs. If you have a particular trouble spot or area, then you can switch to manual mode and use a manual massage. The manual massage techniques are as follows: Gap, Shiatsu, Kneading, Tapping and Combo. Each of these techniques is specialized with a particular movement to loosen or revitalize tight and sore muscles.

There are many adjustments you can make with the in the manual massage mode. You can select the roller width adjustment. The rollers in the chair back can be set at a wider or narrower depending on where you would like the massage to penetrate. Also, you can adjust the intensity of the massage. You can make it softer or more vigorous. If you are tender, then a softer mode may be appropriate, whereas if you want deeper penetration you can set it stronger.

There are even more options on the area of your back that you would like to target. Choose from neck and shoulders, lower back, lower body and quick course. You can select the massage technique that you wish and then have it focus in these regions. This is very helpful if you have stiffness in a particular area.

Sanyo is know for its advanced electronics, are any integrated into the DR-6700 massage chair? Yes, there are some very interesting electronics, such as a stiffness detector. The stiffness detector is based on lie detector technology. It monitors your pulse rate and also your perspiration level. It then feeds this data to the computer which then can identify where then tension is residing in your body and adjusts the massage program.

The lower body also needs some attention and the DR6700 has just the answer. An air compressor has been installed underneath the seat which activates air bags in the chair. The air bags provide a soothing compression massage. The air bags are specifically designed for each major muscle group in the legs to provide effective relief.

The DR-6700 massage chair has some very nice features to compliment its massage therapy. The stiffness detector is certainly unique, but actually pretty effective. Good thing it doesn't ask you questions! The manual massage treatments like the Grip massage are fabulous. We do like the automatic programs that Sanyo has developed. We wish the labor for the warranty coverage was a little longer. Overall, this is a solid massage chair that can meet your long term massage therapy needs. - 17273
