St. Paul, MN
October 19, 2004 ?- Over 950,000 Americans will die of heart disease in 2004.
According to leading heart disease expert Al Sears, M.D., most of these heart disease deaths are preventable, if we ignore the current advice about cholesterol, low-fat diets and long-duration exercise. In his controversial new book, The Doctor's Heart Cure, Beyond the Modern Myths of Diet and Exercise: The Clinically-Proven Plan of Breakthrough Health Secrets That Helps You Build a Powerful, Disease-Free Heart
http://www.dragondoor.com/b30.htmlDr. Al Sears recommends a radical solution to end America's #1 health crisis.Al Sears, M.D.
lays the blame for America's heart disease crisis, squarely with the introduction and popularity of the low-fat diet. According to Dr. Sears, the switch to low-fat diets has been responsible not only for an increase in heart disease, but is also largely responsible for a quadrupling in America's obesity rates since the 1950s.We need to turn the traditional Food Pyramid on its head, says Dr. Al Sears, recommending a diet rich in high-quality fats and organic proteins and low in starches. The Doctor's Heart Cure goes beyond the Atkins Diet and popular high-protein diets, in its emphasis on the need for organic meats and fats and in its breakthrough advice on the importance of correct exercise for heart health.Again turning accepted wisdom on its head, Dr Al Sears warns that long-duration aerobic exercise can make our hearts weaker and more vulnerable to heart disease.
Long-distance runners, for instance, have the highest incidence of heart attack of all major athletic groups.
To build a strong heart, we need to perform short bursts of high-intensity, weight-bearing exercises, for not more than a twenty-minute period.

You may want to feel healthier, look better, fit into your old clothes or even have been advised by a medical practitioner to get in shape.

2003. All rights reserved If you've ever been on a diet you know the feeling of irritability that sets in after a few days. Nutrition experts have attributed this feeling to a physical state of deprivation, such as low blood sugar or dehydration.
While these conditions do have a definite effect on mood, they don't tell the whole story. Consider the fact that you are not ALWAYS crabby when hungry or thirsty, even though your body may be in a state of deprivation. Diet-related crabbiness stems not just from your body's physical state, but also from mental...

Dr. Conrad Maulfair Reveals the Real Story About Cholesterol
Copyright 2006 In Touch Media Group, Inc.
"Contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is not fat," says Dr. Conrad Maulfair, director of the Maulfair Medical Clinic in Topton, Pa. "Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced by the liver and also ingested through foods we eat. It often has fatty acids contained in it and therefore it is considered to be fat, but it is not fat in and of itself."
According to Dr. Maulfair, up to 80 percent of cholesterol is used to make cholic acid, which is essential in bile salts that are in turn necessary for digestion and absorption of fat from the diet.
Additionally, cholesterol is used to make the hormones progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone.
There is also a significant amount of cholesterol in the skin that helps the skin to resist water absorption and water evaporation. The presence of cholesterol in the skin also helps to decrease the penetration of toxic agents such as solvents.

Olive Oil -Not Just for Popeye
Archeological records indicate that man has cultivated the olive tree for about 6,000 years; having been especially popular in the Isle of Crete (which as you recall, also appeared in the Seven Countries Study to be the site of the lowest incidence of heart disease). All oils that we use for eating and cooking contain "fat" and olive oil is no exception. However, it is mostly monounsaturated fat as opposed to saturated fat or hydrogenated fat. It can be used as a flavoring for cooking or in salad dressings or as a healthy substitute for butter or margarine. Several large population studies have confirmed that diets with higher amounts of fat of the monounsaturated type reduce total cholesterol and LDL ["bad"] cholesterol levels to the same degree as low fat, high-carbohydrate diets [such as the AHA Step I and II diets].
The additional benefit of olive oil is, as part of a Mediterranean type diet, is that it also has a favorable effect on lowering blood triglycerides [also a factor...

How Colostrum Differs From Herbal Remedies
At some time or another, most people have taken some sort of herbal remedy or supplement to help support their body in achieving optimal health. Now, however, you may be considering taking a Colostrum supplement, and wondering how it differs from standard herbal remedies, in the way it works to benefit your body.The primary difference is that herbal remedies and dietary supplements contain plant-based nutrients, which work by nourishing or stimulate the body to produce the results that are needed. They simply help the body produce nutrients of its own. Colostrum, however is an animal based nutrient that not only helps the body produce its own life giving immune and growth factors, but actually supplements and replaces them as well.The works very well, given the fact that the immune and growth factors contained in bovine colostrum are virtually identical to those in the human body. Because of this, there lot to be gained using Bovine Colostrum products to supplement our regular diets...
