7 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 Salt s. 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.
