15 new discoveries to stop heart disease.
Did you know that 150 years ago heart disease was virtually unheard of? Today it is one of the biggest causes of death in America. It kills nearly 30% of us. In fact, it kills more women than all forms of cancer, chronic lung disease, pneumonia, AIDS, diabetes and accidents combined! Here are 15 discoveries that will stop heart disease.
1. High cholesterol alone is not the primary cause of heart disease. Did you know that low cholesterol has been linked to depression? Of the more than 1.1 million Americans who suffered heart attacks last year, almost 500,000 had normal and low cholesterol.
2. The real cause of heart disease is oxidized cholesterol. A 2005 University of San Diego study found that patients with high cholesterol and high oxidized cholesterol had sixteen times higher risk of developing coronary artery disease.
3. Free radicals in the blood cause oxidized cholesterol. Feeding a diet of pure cholesterol produced little arterial damage. When food was spiked with a tiny amount of oxidized cholesterol, the damage to arteries became striking.
4. The world's best selling drugs for heart disease (statins) only treat high cholesterol and do little to prevent oxidized cholesterol. Did you know that cholesterol is essential for life? It is the building block of hormones that control blood sugar and mineral balance, it is a part of every cell membrane in the body, it is a precursor to vitamin D and it is required for digestion.
5. The biggest clinical trial ever conducted on cholesterol-lowering drugs showed that statin-users did not live longer than non-statin users during 6 years of follow-up.
6. Some antioxidant whole foods are powerful medicines to prevent and treat heart disease. "But powerful as statins are, a healthy dose of exercise and the right foods are more powerful still." - Dr. Howard LeWine, MD, Harvard School of Medicine.
7. Whole foods are far more powerful antioxidants than isolated vitamins.
8. The Ningxia wolfberry is the most powerful whole food antioxidant known to man. Young Living has an exclusive contract with the Ningxia province of China to obtain all of the wolfberry juice available from there. There are many types of wolfberries but the ones from the Ningxia province are the best.
9. Dietary consumption of 50 grams of Ningxia wolfberries daily for 10 days resulted in a 65% drop in oxidized cholesterol and a 48% jump in blood levels of SOD, the enzyme that reduces oxidation and blocks superoxide free radicals.
10. Increases in dietary potassium benefit several disease states including: hypertension, stroke prevention, arrhythmia prevention and treatment of congestive heart failure. What makes the Ningxia wolfberry so rare among foods is that it is one of the highest known sources of the heart protecting nutrients potassium and magnesium.
11. Magnesium deficiency more than doubles the risk of heart disease.
12. Blueberries strengthen blood vessels to protect against heart disease according to 2006 research at the University of Maine.
13. Pomegranate juice prevents cholesterol oxidation and clogged arteries in clinical trials.
14. University research using ORAC and SOD testing has verified which liquid supplements have the greatest antioxidant power for preventing oxidized cholesterol. Ningxia Red a blend of whole Ningxia wolfberry puree, pomegranate juice, blueberry juice, raspberry juice, red grapes and the therapeutic grade essential oils of lemon and orange was found to be the highest. Here are the results, the higher the number the better:
Himalayan Goji - 0
Tahitian Noni - 4
Xango - 60
FrequenSea - 135
SIBU Balance - 216
Via Viente - 292
MonaVie - 421
VIBE - 5840
Ningxia Red - 22,470
15. Our blood becomes more oxidized and sticky with age. As our blood tends to clot faster, our risk of heart attack and stroke increases. Ningxia Red has been found to reduce the stickiness of cells in as little as 10 minutes after drinking it.
For good health you want to be drinking Ningxia Red every day.
