Cardiovascular disease affects all parts of the cardio system, including the blood vessels and heart. You’re more likely to get it if you live a risky lifestyle or you have a genetic tendency toward heart problems. The good news is that by changing your lifestyle, you can reduce your chances of having cardiovascular disease related symptoms, and even reverse some of the damage, even if you already have this disease.

Some major symptoms of cardiovascular disease include tingling and numbness on one side of the body, difficulty with balance and walking, pain in the arm, shortness of breath, vision problems, headaches, dizziness, fainting, pale skin and chest pain. These are some of the most severe symptoms. Exercise and a good diet are probably the best ways to keep yourself from ever suffering from cardiovascular disease.

Free radicals and oxidative stress have also been known to play a role in the development and worsening of symptoms for cardiovascular disease. An effective natural treatment to help lower the amount of free radicals within the body would be to cut down on the amount of processed foods that you consume. It would be even better to eliminate them completely. All meats which contain steroids and hormones also should be avoided since they help to contribute to disease.

Eating a diet rich in the kinds of antioxidants you can get from brightly colored fruits and vegetables and from moderate use of dark chocolate can have a pretty impressive effect, too. These will help your body work better and slow aging, as well as possibly reversing some of the ill effects of cardiovascular disease. It’s impressive what kind of benefits you can experience if you only take the time to eat a little better.

You’ll want to make sure you avoid very salty foods, which can contribute to hypertension. Combined with cardiovascular disease, hypertension can be a real problem, increasing the chances of getting a heart attack. Don’t eat too many foods with a lot of sugar in them, either. They have a number of bad effects on your health, too.

Exercise is probably one of the best treatments for cardiovascular disease. Doing any kind of aerobic exercise has been linked to blood pressure decreases in people with this problem. Make sure that you exercise most days out of the week, and try to do it for a half hours at a time. You’ll be surprised by how quickly you gain strength, breathe more easily and how many fewer symptoms you suffer from.

Another natural treatment for cardiovascular disease that has been proven to work is the consumption of garlic. Garlic helps to lower cholesterol levels, platelet adhesion, and atherosclerosis. Consumption of hawthorn berries have been known to strengthen contractions of the heart muscle and produce more effective coronary artery blood flow. You might also want to consider taking a daily Vitamin B Complex supplement in order to increase energy metabolism, and a CoQ10 supplement to help lower blood pressure as well as support the overall health of the heart.

There are lots of natural treatments you can use in conjunction with your doctor’s recommended treatments to prevent or deal with cardiovascular disease. Remember that it’s a bad idea to go right to medications, many of which have dangerous side effects, when you can make lifestyle changes to deal with cardiovascular disease instead.

As of May 20, 2009 The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) have ‘confirmed’ some 5,700 cases of H1N1 Influenza. The ‘Swine Flu’ has claimed at least eight lives in the U.S., but the CDC admittedly cannot keep up with testing and has begun to make estimates based on statistical modeling.

The CDC’s statistical models show that the flu has gotten bad enough to reach pandemic level. Studies show that H1N1 will eventually infect one out of every three people in the entire world. Fortunately for us, the number of deaths in the northern hemisphere is still very low. People have been able to fight the flu by simply staying outside. The Vitamin D that your body absorbs from the sun is a natural way to boost your immunity to disease. Unfortunately, as we approach the fall and winter the temperature will change and keep people from spending as much time outside. As we all know, cooler seasons are a traditional time for flu outbreaks. This is commonly a result of staying inside, where we are unable to get a healthy dose of Vitamin D.

Potentially millions of us may become carriers, mixing H1N1 with other flu strains, causing continual mutations. These mutations will make creating an effective and timely vaccine difficult if not impossible. But with healthy immune systems we can reduce our susceptibility to the disease, as viruses will not multiply in a healthy body. Our best defense is a proactive approach to optimizing our health and immune system.

An easy step that we can all make toward maximizing our own health is through Ionic Detox. [I:http://www.pajmon.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/JimSugihara1.gif]Regular sessions can help boost your immune system because they are effectively maintaining a healthy pH balance within the body. Negative ions entering the body work to neutralize acids and heavy metals. This results in an improvement in the body’s ability to detoxify itself. According to M. Amin, PhD, Doctor of Natural Medicine, “Ion Detox will strengthen the immune system to fight any invading germs, bacteria or viruses. I am a classic example. I do not take any medication including flu shots since 1989. Do I get the flu? Never! Sometimes I feel my body fighting the attacking viruses. My entire family follows the same lifestyle: Regular ionic detox, high quality supplements, eating properly, exercise, prayer and positive thinking.”

A healthy digestive system is key in maintaining a healthy immune system. Each of our bodies contain trillions of bacteria that help us break down and process the food we eat. So long as we have a good supply of digestive bacteria, our bodies will maintain a healthy immune system which will help protect us from toxins, viruses, and attack from parasites. Unfortunately, antibiotics, poor diet, drugs, stress and old age can lead to a reduction in the ‘healthy’ bacteria in our digestive system. So, in order to prevent loss of this bacteria, it is important to take a good probiotic supplement which provides us with the bacteria we may not be consuming with our food. One of the very best probiotic supplements that we have found is Primal Defense ULTRA by Garden of Life.

Also important for proper digestion is fiber in the diet, where the daily recommended intake for adults is 25-30 grams. Ideally this would all come from our diets, but getting that last bit can be difficult, especially since many of us do not eat enough fiber rich foods (for example one apple has 4-5 grams fiber, now imagine 5-6x per day). DetoxiFiber, also from Garden of Life is an organic supplement that provides 5 grams of soluble and insoluble fiber in a balanced ratio. It consists of 100% certified organically grown flax seed and pea hull fiber, alfalfa and barley grasses, and chia seed.

In addition to carefully monitoring your digestive health and fiber intake, it is important to keep an eye on your body’s pH balance. Because much of the American diet consists of foods that contain high doses of fatty acids and sugar, our pH levels are usually lower (more acidic). These highly acidic foods can effect the body’s immune system by preventing it from working its best. Imagine the 75 trillion cells in our bodies are acidic fish swimming in an alkaline sea. To maintain normal metabolic processing, a balance must be maintained or the cells will start to change or die. By reducing the concentration of alkaline in our body by subjecting ourselves to a highly acidic diet, the cells can become vulnerable to disease.. Improving or maintaining the right balance of alkaline to acid should be done with multiple methods. The most important method would be to maintain a balanced diet, consuming a ratio of 60/40 for alkaline foods as compared to acid. Depending on your current pH levels, you may want to consider a higher ratio of alkaline foods if your body is too acidic.

Proper hydration also helps the body eliminate toxins, fatty acids and facilitate metabolic functions. In addition to the basic practice of hydration, we can also alkalize our bodies with treated pure water to get more punch. pH Booster is an excellent product for treating your drinking water by raising the pH level to your desired alkalinity, as well as ionizing with minerals and oxygenating for maximum benefit. Reducing your acid level also improves the body’s ability to utilize minerals. As your body gets more balanced you can then boost your mineral intake with a concentrated mineral supplement, like ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops, an all natural vegan product.

A body that is too acidic will also hold onto more heavy metals like mercury. These metals also cause stress to the body, thus creating more acids and a cruel unhealthy cycle. Many of these steps towards a healthy body overlap in purpose and go hand in hand, like reducing toxins, increasing alkaline balance and reducing acidity.

Let us recap: How can we get the best flu protection?

1 - Eat Correctly - Reduce acids (sugar and high fructose sweeteners major offender) and increase level of alkaline foods. Supplement with alkalized water. 2 - Get Enough Sleep - The body does its best healing while sleeping. 3 - Digestion - Take care of the gut and the whole gastrointestinal system with probiotic foods and supplements. 4 - Exercise - Stimulates cleansing blood flow, the lymphatic system and stress-reducing hormones. 5 - Exposure to the Sun - The best source of vitamin D, a natural anti-viral vitamin. 6 - Ionic Foot Detox - Also reduces acid levels and neutralizes toxins, making them easily excreted.
