The two things that say heart disease the loudest are high blood pressure and the wrong levels of cholesterol.

In most cases the response is the same. Get a prescription it is the only cure. Well give the body some credit and a little help. The body has been healing itself for how many years now?

Here are some natural tips for CHANGE in your habits to HELP the body improve your cholesterol and blood pressure:

Blood Pressure

The easiest and most healthful thing that you can do to help your heart is to take a walk. A walk will lower your blood pressure, increase circulation and improve stamina. Try a walk of at least a block 3 times a week. After a couple of weeks try two blocks and increase gradually until you are doing 1-2 miles 3 times a week. A walk around all four sides (375 ft ea.) of a block is about 1/3 of a mile. SO if you started on one corner of a block, walked 3 blocks in any direction, made a right angle turn, walked 3 more blocks and made a right angle turn in the same direction as the first turn (i.e. First turn right, second turn right, third turn right) you would walk in a complete square ending where you started. Three blocks up, three blocks over, three blocks down and three blocks back to starting point equals almost a mile.

Medical research shows the lack of magnesium is implicated in high blood pressure. Whole grains and leafy greens are rich in magnesium and a key role in good heart health.

Cholesterol

Bad health doesn’t come by the tablespoon; it is the result of years of body abuse. In the same vein of light don’t expect to change years of body abuse in 30 days of good attention. Change to natural enhancing food and supplements and you will notice continual BETTER health as the body goes back to natural healing.

Beans of any kind are rich in fiber and pectin both give the body power to battle cholesterol. Don’t forget to season the beans. (Dried beans: bay leaf, celery seed, ONIONS, & GARLIC, pepper and salt.) This the case that you can’t get too many beans in your diet. Beans for good health! (Other foods rich in pectin are apples, carrots and the white rind of citrus fruit.)

There is a good oil that needs to be added to your diet. This oil is found in salmon and trout. Eat this as often as available. Then every day take a fish oil supplement with your meal that is high in omega 3 oil. This one supplement is being heralded as the heart helper for men and women!

Garlic is the super healing herb that supports the immune system and helps lower cholesterol and blood pressure. Raw garlic and onion every day. Can’t take the fresh garlic, try supplements. DO something different and expect a change!

Red grapes have an ingredient that lowers the bad cholesterol (LDL). Red grapes fresh or red grape juice daily or simple grapes seed extract supplement with each meal can help reduce the risk of heart disease. Remember slowly abused over a long period of time can be corrected but also takes time, don’t be impatient, and be consistent!

Remember to add vitamin rich foods like strawberries, tomatoes and potatoes to your diet when available and supplement the rest of the year with quality Vitamin C tablets.

When looking for a natural anti-aging formula to lower blood pressure by better assimilation try Hgh Plus an all natural herbal pituitary support.

Look for immune system failures such as lingering colds, fungus infections, (skin and toes) allergies, and fight to correct these as you battle cholesterol levels. Check here for a natural immune support.

Remember, Dr Linus Pauling, two times Nobel Laureate, said “one could trace every disease and every ailment to a mineral deficiency.” If your system cannot absorb body healing minerals then you should consider improving colon good health with Intestinal Formula # 1.

Scientist now say it is not a fad but a proven fact that grows more convincing with time, Vitamin D, dubbed the “sunshine vitamin” because the skin makes vitamin “D” from the ultraviolet rays in sunshine is good for you.

I work on the computer every day in my home. I’m self employed. Arriving at the family reunion last month was hysterical. I wore shorts and the hoots and smart remarks started as soon as I had one leg out of the car. “Where is my sun glasses?” “Blinded by the glare!” “We didn’t know we were kin to Snow White!” Well I have very sensitive skin and freckle instead of tan. But I got the message. I receive 8-10 phone calls a day on a headset. I decided that some of those calls could be taken outside while I admired the flowers, watered the potted plants or just soaked up some rays. Rarely are the calls over 10 minutes so I am increasing my Vitamin D intake and freckling up nice without the burn.

Sunscreen will block the ultraviolet rays. Scientist now are discovering that Vitamin D is important for preventing and treating colon cancer. Some other cancers that have responded to Vitamin D are lung, lymphoma, prostate and even skin cancer. None of these studies represented that the bikini was the apparel and all day in the sun was the recommended dose of rays, rather moderation was in order.

So the tip of the day is answer the phone (outside), catch some rays and take your Vitamin D, all at the same time. I do get some funny questions though, “Are you outside?”, “I hear water running, are you watering something?” “Sounds like the wind is blowing in your office!”, to which I respond “I’m just taking my daily Vitamin D.
