Americans are becoming an increasingly more health conscious society with more of us getting up off the couch and becoming more active with games such as the Wi, walking, running and going to the gym. More and more of us are finding that quality of life can really be improved by taking some simple, easy steps. Plus, taking charge of their health gives a feeling of empowerment and this also can help with depression. All this can be done without the use of prescriptions
This article will look at four such steps to improve overall health.
Pump down the volume
Did you know that chronic noise pollution of 70 decibels-about the sound of normal street traffic-can raise your heart rate, blood pressure, stress level and risk of heart attack and stroke? Surprisingly, in a Finnish study, it was found that 80% of women who suffered heart attacks described themselves as being sensitive to noise. So, it makes sense to try to tone the noise down-where possible.
Take steps such as wearing earplugs or keeping the windows closed to help eliminate some of the sounds.
Take care of your teeth
Bacteria in the mouth such as P.gingivalis can grow in the mouth and can blood vessel damage and clots. To lessen the likelihood of such bacteria brush at least twice a day, floss daily and eat a carrot after meals which helps eliminate plaque.
Don't take calcium alone
A recent study (2010) discovered that taking calcium alone can promote calcification of the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack.
Instead, take up to 600 milligrams of calcium along with magnesium 400 milligrams and vitamin D 1,000 IU for cardiovascular health.
Avoid BPA
BPA is awidely used compound used in food and beverage containers. Study results have shown that this chemical increases the chance of heart disease because they short circuit the cells in the heart which can lead to dangerous arrythmias.
Avoid plastic containers in the microwave and avoid #7 plastics.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
ReplyDeleteliver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
treatment! This treatment is a breakthrough for all HBV carriers.
