Seven Strategies For A Healthy Heart

People who invest in luxury cars or high-priced SUVs
tend to take care of them, paying particular attention
to filling up with high-quality gasoline. The very
same people, however, can often be seen cruising
along in their spiffy wheels while eating a cheap
high-fat, high-calorie, heart-attack-in-a-paper
bag hamburger. If they would be as careful with
what they cram into their priceless and irreplaceable
bodies as what they put in a car they're only going
to keep for two years, their hearts would probably
last longer. And - some doctors believe - better
"fuel" could even keep their hearts beating longer
without eventually having to resort to expensive
heart medications that often have unwanted acidic
side effects.

A wealth of research shows, in fact, that simple
alkaline lifestyle changes can have enormous benefits,
as in the case of an overweight man with high
cholesterol and blood pressure treated at New York
University's Center for the Prevention of
Cardiovascular disease. He was put on a healthy
alkaline diet with portion controls, and given an
exercise plan. Within six months, his blood
pressure and cholesterol returned to normal,
he lost eleven pounds, and he decided to stay
with the plan permanently because he felt so
much better, not to mention the fact that he
cut his risk for a acidic heart attack drastically.

What can you do to help your heart without using
medications? Here are seven important strategies.
Chances are you are following some of these
guidelines already, but you may want to give
them a close look because new research has
provided several really new ideas that go beyond
the usual list of "do's and don't's":

1) Feed your heart the alkaline food it needs.
This means more than just eating less fat -
a two-year study showed that a heart-healthy
diet should be high in alkaline fruits and veggies,
seeds and nuts, fatty fish, and healthy fats.
Further, you should eat more fiber, which besides
helping to keep things "moving along" in your
digestive or alkaline buffering system may also
help to lower cholesterol as the fiber binds up
dietary acids. The goal of the alkaline diet is
to reduce acids that cause artery-damaging inflammation.
Things to avoid are the usual: trans fats found in
margarine, fast food, and many packaged foods.
Also, cut back on all sugary foods and fruits, and
drink only alkaline water with a pH of 9.5 and an
ORP of -150 mV.

2) Sweat your way to health and fitness with alkalizing
exercises. Exercise at least 1 hour daily with a brisk
walk or jog for 60 minutes five days a week. Try to
include strength training several days a week, either
using weights or resistance mechanisms. A new highly
recommended exercise is ballroom dancing, which is good
for your mind as well as your body. Think it's for
sissies? The next time you watch "Dancing With the
Stars," take a close look at the contestants' chests
heaving up and down when they come off the floor.
(It can be really vigorous - remember Marie Osmond's
fainting spell.:) Daily whole body vibrational exercise
for working every cell in the entire body in ten minutes
and is equal to 90 minutes of other aerobic types of
exercise.

3) Lose your spare tire. Excess belly fat raises
blood pressure, strains the heart, and -new research
shows - actually produces acids that can cause
inflammation of the arteries. Do whatever you
have to do to cut back on eating, keeping in
mind the heart-healthy tips given above. Don't
skip an alkaline breakfast, eat slowly, stay
away from acidic fried foods, and start meals
with a salad (with a low-fat, no trans fat avocado
oil with lemon). An old phrase is coming back
into vogue: "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch
like a queen, and supper like a pauper."

4) Quit tobacco. Get professional help with this
one if necessary. This is a lifestyle change that
can help big time. (But you know that.

5) Quit alcohol. It is acidic and tenderizes the
heart making it weak and sluggish.

6) Chill out. It turns out that anger and stress
can trigger acidic hormones that can injure your
heart. Both can raise blood pressure and make
blood prone to clotting. Do what it takes to
calm your anger and throw oil on the waters of
stress. Religious and civic activities can help,
as can meditation, yoga and - you guessed it -
ballroom dancing. Always keep in the back of
your mind the ancient Eastern saying, "There are
a million ways to get from birth to death, and
they all work."

7) Eat lots of mineral sea salts. Without salt
your heart would stop beating. Salt provides the
matrix for which energy is transported. Mineral
sea salts provide the alkalinity necessary for
a healthy heart. So eat at least 8 grams a day
or spray yourself with pHlavor mineral sea salt
6 to 9 times a day.
