Doctor: Cholesterol Is Biggest Medical Myth, Inflammation Is Key

Why Haven't You Been Told about the REAL Cause of Heart Attacks?

The Sordid Story of Statistics & Spin...heart disease is the #1 killer in the United States. Strokes kill over 160,000 a year...and often without warning...
Fact, cardiovascular disease is so common that 64 million Americans suffer from some form of it (and 39 million of these folks are age 65 or younger)...
Each of us only has one heart, that's why you should be worried

If you're not feeling entirely comforted by the ministrations of modern medicine — a prescription for side effect -laden statin drugs, an aspirin every day, the gloomy prospect of heart bypass surgery — who could blame you.
And neither does Dr. Russell Blaylock, the editor of the NewsMax monthly newsletter The Blaylock Wellness Report.
Dr. Blaylock knows that informed people can prepare for potential health problems, and plan a successful strategy to prevent them. This is why he so desperately wants you to know the truth, the real truth — not just what you read in the mainstream press or see on TV. In fact, in this month's Blaylock Wellness Report "Prevent a Heart Attack: The Truth about Coronary Disease, Cholesterol Medication — and How to Truly Protect Yourself", Dr. Blaylock will lay it all out for you.

Runner's have been using this technique for years. To boost there performance. And, it really work's fast. You'll want to have a good base for your workout's before starting.
Interval training can be an effective way to boost your fitness level. Unless there is a medical reason not to do so, try 1 minute of more intense exercise mixed into your regular aerobic exercise sessions. For example, after a good warm-up, if your walking. Once you've been walking for at least 15 minutes. keep walking at a moderate intensity. Every say 5 minutes, do the next 1 minute at a faster pace. Repeat the cycle. Do this a couple time a week and you'll start to see real results.

Do 1/4 mile runs. Or after walking at a good brisk pace for at least 15 or 20 minutes run for 5 minutes. This gets your hart rate up, then walk again once your hart slows down, then repeat. The last 1/4 mile or 15 minutes walk for a proper cool down. Interval training is another word for cycle training. One of the added benefits is you get a great workout in less time. You won't miss that days workout. And, you'll feel great.

It's BBQ-ing season around here all year long

I live in So. Cal, about 5 miles from the Blue Pacific coast, so it's always BBQ time.
I thought everyone new the dangers of raw meat and clean up. That is until I saw Patrick handle the 'Chicken and Marinade.
This tip on Safe BBQ-ing
For a safer barbecue, consider the following tips to prevent food borne illness: (1) Never return cooked meats to the raw meat plate. (2) Do not use the same utensil on both raw meat and any other foods unless you wash the utensil first. (3) Do not taste food with a utensil, and then return it to the food. (4) Store leftovers in the freezer or refrigerator immediately after eating. (5) Eat leftovers within a few days or discard.

Do you think you have an Ulcer Problem ?

Researchers now know that H. pylori bacteria are responsible for large numbers of peptic ulcers. Other causes include chronic aspirin use and the use of certain drugs that irritate the lining of the stomach and intestines. If you think you might have an ulcer, talk to your doctor. A simple blood test can determine if you have H. pylori. Antibiotics can treat an H. Pylori infection.

Running Shoes, were the tread hit's the road

You need a good pair of shoes, when I was a runner. 6 to 8 miles everyday, this is the one thing that made a big difference. What would happen is the shoes still looked great. After all I always took them off to let them air out and dry. I never wore them to do anything else.
So they looked good. Then my knees would start to hurt just a little,then my legs would get tried a little faster. I couldn't recall when i had got them. This was before I kept a log.
I'm cheap, so i didn't want to spring for a new pair and I never liked the shopping part. I would end up putting it off. Never thinking it was a big deal. Boy was I wrong. I loved my new shoes, I began to get two new pair at a time for then on. I still do that to-day with my tennis shoes. That's if they have them i stock. I never have understood whey 'Big 5 Sporting Goods" only carries one pair in each size? I think they could sell more.

Research indicates that running shoes may lose about 30% - 50% of their shock absorbency after about 250 miles of use. Type of shoe, brand or price doesn't seem to make much difference. Remember, the real investment you make is in your health. The shoes are a means to your ends. Protect your muscles and joints by periodically replacing older shoes based on your mileage and overall use.

Vegetarian Meals - Low fat?

Are vegetarian meals low in fat? Not always. Some vegetarian meals contain high fat cheeses or sauces. Others may be fried or contain unhealthy fats such as coconut or palm oil. Some contain healthy fats (including many vegetable oils, nuts, seeds and avocado). While good for you in moderation, healthy fats can still provide extra, unneeded calories. When choosing a vegetarian entrée, consider asking about the ingredients and method of preparation.

Tip: Increase your learning potential with sleep

Do you want to learn a new activity faster?
Catching some zzzz's after learning a new move can help your retention.
For example, getting a good night's sleep following a salsa class or a racquetball lesson increases your chance of remembering specific moves the next day.

Whenever memory learning is important to you, try getting a good night's sleep.
