"Open your heart to me Justin
Jones Chargers Jersey , my own," whispers Grandmother Growth so
softly you aren't certain you hear her. "Open the wisdom way of compassion here
in your heart and draw me inside. Let Grandmother Growth be inside you, helping
you encompass the whole, in the beat of your own heart, my heart, Crone's
heart."Step 0: Do Nothing Thinking of taking hormone replacement to keep
your heart healthy? Think again. Data released in April of the year 2000, from
the federal government's Women's Health Initiative Rayshawn
Jenkins Chargers Jersey , showed "a small increase in the number of
heart attacks, strokes and blood clots in the lungs of women on hormone
replacement compared with women on placebo." The Heart and EstrogenProgestin
Replacement Study (HERS), completed in 1998, found the same connection. For a
healthy heart, don't take hormones. "Recently released data from the federal
government's Women's Health Initiative suggests that during the first two years
of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy there is a slightly greater risk
of heart attack, stroke and blood clots." Heart disease is America's top killer
(claiming a life every 34 seconds). Women aged 30-50 have far less risk of heart
disease than a man their age. But postmenopausal women die from heart disease at
rates as high as men's. (Women account for 51 percent of all cardiovascular
deaths; men, 49 percent.) Is it lack of estrogen? No. Estrogen does lower LDL
cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol Dan
Feeney Chargers Jersey , but cholesterol is only weakly linked to
heart disease, especially in women. (Most heart attacks happen to people with
normal cholesterol levels.) Estrogen raises blood pressure (one of the top three
reasons for heart attacks in women), increases triglycerides, promotes clotting
(a leading factor in heart attacks and strokes), and raises levels of C-reactive
protein (a marker for inflammation associated with heart disease). Take
progestinsprogesterone too and you increase your risk of heart disease even
more. Hormone replacement really isn't heart healthy. Aren't there studies
linking estrogen usage to lowered risk of heart disease? Only retrospective
ones, which cannot establish a cause-and-effect link. And the women in those
studies ate well, exercised regularly Forrest
Lamp Chargers Jersey , and were unlikely to smoke - behaviors that
are critical to heart health. The simple truth is more than 90 percent of all
heart disease is preventable with lifestyle choices. The three top risk factors
for heart disease in women are too much belly fat, smoking, and untreated
hypertension. High cholesterol is one of the top three risk factors for men, but
not for women. (This is because, after menopause, we make heart healthy hormones
from our cholesterol.) Step 1: Collect Information The Nurses Health Study -
which followed 86,000 women for 14 years - shows what happens to those wise old
Crones who follow heart healthy behaviors: Those who ate more fish than
meat Mike
Williams Chargers Jersey , plus plenty of whole grains, beans,
leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables reduced their risk of heart disease by
one-third compared to those who ate a "normal" American diet. Eating one serving
a day of whole-grain foods reduced heart attacks by 34 percent in another study
of 34,000 postmenopausal women. Those who ate at least 5 ounces of nuts a week
were only half as likely to have a heart attack as those who ate none. Women who
walked a total of three hours per week or who exercised vigorously for at least
90 minutes a week had one third fewer heart attacks than women who got no
exercise. Those who walked five or more hours a week cut their risk in half.
Step 2: Engage the Energy Rose flower essence and rose quartz essence are both
recommended for engaging the energy of the heart. Do you attack your heart? Do
you close your heart to protect it? Love yourself. Give yourself plenty of nice
strokes so you won't have a bad stroke. Try Stephen Levine's meditation "Opening
the Heart" in Who Dies?People in Hawaii, New Mexico Uchenna
Nwosu Chargers Jersey , and Arizona have the healthiest hearts in
the United States. Imagine you live there. Smile! Depression increases your risk
of both heart attack and stroke. In fact, severe depression is more strongly
linked to stroke risk than high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking
cigarettes, being overweight, and nine other known risk factors. When you smile,
your brain makes hormones that make you Derwin
James Chargers Jersey , and your heart, feel good. So, smile. Step
3: Nourish & Tonify Touch and be touched. In numerous scientific studies,
people who were touched lovingly every day had significantly fewer heart
problems than those who weren't. Nuts to heart attacks. The fats in nuts have
been linked to a reduced risk of heart attacks. Volunteers on high-fat diets
(35-40 percent of calories nuts and olive oil) lowered their LDL cholesterol by
13 percent. Greek women do the same, and have one of the lowest rates of heart
disease in the world. Essential fatty acids, especially omega-3s, are ever so
essential to a healthy heart. Look for them in fish (salmon Joey
Bosa Chargers Jersey , sardines, trout, herring are highest),
seeds, whole grains, beans, and nuts. They are especially abundant in wild seeds
such as plantain Melvin
Gordon Chargers Jersey , lamb's quarter, and amaranth. And in
freshly ground flax seeds. Women who consume the EFA alpha-linolenic acid daily
have the lowest risk of a fatal heart attack. Keep your heart healthy with
regular use of seaweeds. Seaweeds have clinically proven cardiotonic effects:
they stabilize blood pressure; regulate levels of triglycerides, phospholipids,
and cholesterols; prolong the life of the heart muscle; and encourage a steady
heartbeat. Women who regularly eat foods rich in carotenes cut their risk of
stroke by 40 percent. Women who eat broccoli at least once a week have roughly
half the risk of heart disease as women who eat none. Eliminating or limiting
carbohydrates, especially refined flours and sugars, has halved the cholesterol
of several friends whose totals were above 400. "What emerges is a clear
