Fruit for Heart Health

An apple a day will keep the doctor away or more precisely the cardiologist. Research published by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that eating fruit is particularly effective at lowering the risk of heart disease. A 20-year study published in 2002 showed that the risk of stroke and heart attack was significantly reduced in people who ate at least 3 servings of fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. Additional research has shown that apples and grapes specifically have certain antioxidants that reduce susceptibility to heart disease by reducing inflammation linked to blockage of the arteries. You can supercharge the overall holistic effect by consuming organic fruits and vegetables.

From free-range turkey and free-range eggs to organic fruits and vegetables, holistic choices abound. You can even opt for fresh herbs to add extra zest to your meal. The herbs will also boost your health as well. Share herbal teas with your guests. This can be a great way to introduce herbal medicine to them. Green tea would make an excellent starter tea. Another ideas is to instead of lounging on the couch after the big meal, get the whole family out for a walk. Practice whole breathing together as you stroll.

Evening Primrose herb for Arthritis

Evening Primrose is a very popular botanical used in herbal medicine. This beautiful wildflower grows throughout most of North America. However, due to its medicinal qualities, it has been used traditionally for a host of conditions. Evening Primrose is very high in essential fatty acids.


Evening Primrose is believed to be great for inflammation. As such it is used for arthritis. For centuries, women have turned to evening primrose to relieve the discomfort of PMS. In the past, Native American women chewed the seeds to ease PMS symptoms. Not only does evening primrose reputedly help with PMS, it soothes the breast pain that often accompanies it.


Research has shown that evening primrose oil may be helpful in treating other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis. Both of these conditions are believed to be associated with an imbalance or shortage of essential fatty acids in one's system. In the UK, evening primrose oil is prescribed for the treatment of eczema.


There is one cautionary note however for evening primrose. Evening primrose oil should not be used if you are taking any drug for treatment of epilepsy. Harmful interactions could occur.

If you suffer from inflammatory conditions, consider the herb evening primrose as a holistic health alternative.

Holistic Health Tip - Smoking and Antioxidants

Antioxidants are substances that neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are associated with causing cancer in the body and accelerating aging. As a holistic health tip, don't smoke and avoid areas where smoking is taking place. Each puff of cigarette smoke contains 100 trillion free radicals! If you can't avoid smoky environments, be sure to take an antioxidant-rich herbal or nutritional supplement daily and include plenty of colorful, organic fruits and vegetables in your diet.

Garlic for Heart Health

Garlic. This delightful, pungent herb not only fights certain cancers, diabetes, and infections; it also helps in the fight against cardiovascular disease. Garlic is excellent for heart health. Garlic's cholesterol fighting abilities have led to its longstanding reputation as a heart healthy herb.


In laboratory tests, garlic has decreased cholesterol production by liver cells by as much as 40 to 60 percent. For those suffering from high cholesterol, garlic has been reported to be able to reduce it by as much as 10 percent. Garlic lowers triglyceride levels and minimizes or prevents blood clots by preventing blood platelets from sticking together. Furthermore, garlic inhibits damage to the endothelial cells in our blood vessels due to oxidized LDL, the "bad cholesterol". Previous European studies suggest that garlic works much like our HDL, the "good cholesterol", in that it dissolves newly formed arteriosclerotic plaque at the molecular level. Other US studies suggest that saponins in garlic interfere with cholesterol absorption in the intestines, preventing it from going back into the blood stream.

Increase your intake of garlic to improve your overall health. Use fresh garlic in cooking or take it as a nutritional supplement. Taking just 600mg of garlic daily in tablet form can lower both your blood pressure and your cholesterol level in only a few weeks.

Heart Health and Hawthorn Berries

Traditional medicine has long hailed the miracle herb hawthorn berry for heart health. Asian, European, and Native American herbalists have cultivated it for use in treating and preventing heart disease and general use as a heart tonic. Modern medicine has recently studied this herb for use with cardiac and heart attack patients.


Alternative Medicine and Hawthorn Berries

A strong antioxidant, hawthorn or hawthorn berries may help heart health in the following ways

• Improving endurance by reducing fatigue and shortness of breath when exercising
• Reducing blood pressure by counter-acting blood vessel constricting enzymes
  
• Easing chest tightness and pressure associated with angina
• Improving cholesterol level by promoting the conversion of LDL cholesterol into HDL and minimizing accumulation of cholesterol in the liver
  
• Relaxation of blood vessels to lower blood pressure and helping with small blood clots
  

If you are taking heart or blood pressure medicine already, consult a health practitioner before and while you are talking hawthorn as it is a powerful herb. Hawthorn's effects are additive. When combined with prescription drugs that have similar purpose, you compound the effect. You would not want to reduce your blood pressure too fast or too low for example. Just make sure you and your health practitioner monitor this and you will be able to benefit from this amazing herb.

Colon Health and Vitamin Nutrition

Your colon contains billions of bacteria. However, these bacteria in the colon are important for your holistic health. The normal bacterial flora in the colon can synthesize some vitamins such as Vitamin K, Niacin, Vitamin B-12, Riboflavin, and Folic Acid. However, the body cannot absorb other vitamins which cannot be absorbed and are excreted from the body. Therefore, you should pay attention to how quickly your vitamins are broken down before they move into the colon and in what form you receive your vitamins.

Anti-Vitamins and Nutrition

In the last blog, we talked about pro-vitamins. Well, there is a counter-part, anti-vitamins. Anti-vitamins are found in natural and synthetic forms. They are similar to true vitamins and can take the place of true vitamins in the body. However, they do not function in the same way and the body does not necessarily recognize them. Anti-vitamins, therefore, are highly toxic and should be avoided to maintain optimal holistic health and wellness. Make sure that the nutritional supplements that you consume contain all-natural true vitamins, minerals and herbs.

Holistic Benefits of Fiber - Nutrition Facts

Dietary fiber may help prevent colon cancer, reduce blood cholesterol, and help maintain a healthy weight. Fiber is a nutritional powerhouse and benefits holistic health and wellness.

Dietary fiber is a member of the carbohydrate family and consists of fruits, vegetables, and the outer linings of seeds, grains, nuts, and beans. Dietary fiber comes in two forms: soluble and insoluble fiber. The human body needs both types to be healthy.

Soluble fiber lowers cholesterol because it blocks fat absorption in the blood stream. Insoluble fiber helps with weight loss because it fills you up without adding all the extra calories. It also adds bulk to your diet and sweeps away toxins and undigested foods from the colon.

Boost your nutrition. Include dietary fiber in your daily nutrition plan to maintain a healthy, holistic lifestyle.

Nutrition Facts: Eat Breakfast and Lose Weight

If you want to lose weight and control blood sugar peaks and valleys, breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. By just including a good source of protein at the start of your day as your morning meal, you can stabilize blood sugar levels and reduce sugar cravings. Minimize carbohydrates and focus on proteins and you will have an excellent start to any day or holistic weight loss program. My favorite: 2 hard-boiled eggs with fresh fruit juice.

Here's a quick idea for a healthy, nutrition-filled breakfast shake:

• 1/2 cup fruit juice
• 2 cups of soy or oat milk
• 2 tablespoons of protein powder
• 2 tablespoons of old-fashioned oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon flaxseed or flaxseed oil
  

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high for about a minute. This makes a single serving. Enjoy.
