10 Tips to Prevent Heart Disease And Stroke #Health #HeartDisease #stress

10 Tips to Prevent Heart Disease And Stroke  1. Take responsibility for your health. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in America, accounting for 34 percent of deaths, many suddenly and almost all of them premature. This is down from 40 percent just four decades ago, mainly due to treatment of common risk factors. If you have diabetes, your risk increases dramatically. The best prevention against heart disease and stroke is to understand the risks and treatment options. The greatest risk is ignorance or misinformation. The first step is to take responsibility for your health. 2. Know your risks. The most influential risk factor for cardiovascular disease is age – the older you are, the greater your risk. The second is your genetic make-up. Although everyone is excited by the scientific progress in genomics research, conclusive gene tests are still in their infancy. But, as I tell our medical students, “A good family history is a poor man’s gene test.” We h...

Know your Body Type #Men and #Women

Know your Body Type  Ectomorphs, Mesomorphs, and Endomorphs Every individual is different, and there is no doubt about that; however, speaking about body types, people can be broadly divided into three categories, namely ectomorphs, mesomorphs, and endomorphs. There are a number of people who may be combinations of these and therefore do not fall into a single category; but even in these cases, one type tends to predominate. Knowing your body type is very important because this can help you to chalk out a perfect diet plan as well as an appropriate exercise schedule for yourself. An ectomorph is basically a person who finds it very difficult to gain weight, in spite of being a voracious eater. Ectomorphic individuals are flat-chested beings who are pretty fragile in appearance and frail in build. They have small shoulders and need to put in double the efforts as compared to others to add some extra muscle mass to their bony frame. These people have long and slend...

Grapes are loaded with disease-fighting phytonutrients and glucose

Grapes are loaded with disease-fighting phytonutrients and glucose Grapes are loaded with disease-fighting phytonutrients and glucose, which makes them easy to digest. A handful (100 mg) of grapes has 60 - 70 calories. They are also rich in soluble fiber, insoluble fiber and cholesterol-lowering pectin, which make them an acceptable fruit for diabetics. Grapes are a good source of potassium, which helps to regulate blood pressure. Grapes, however, have very few vitamins and minerals. Compared to 212 mg of Vitamin C found in 100 gm of guavas, grapes have only 3 mg of the vitamin. Grapes are a fair source of calcium, phosphorous and iron and contain small amounts of B-vitamins, mainly in the form of folic acid. What makes grapes nutritionally significant is their high antioxidant content in the form of phytochemicals. These phytochemicals -- ellagic acid and quercetin -are present in the skin of red and black grapes and protect people against cancer and heart disease....

Apples for good health Apples are rich in vitamin C and vitamin E, with the content varying among the over 7,000 varieties known.

The high pectin content helps in lowering cholesterol as well as acts like a laxative by bulking the stool. Pectin also helps to bind toxic metals such as mercury and lead and excrete them out of the body. Cooked apples are also known to relieve diarrheoa, dysentery and colitis. In fact, apples and apple juice are rich in polyphenols such as tannins (tannic acid) that are potent enemies of viruses, particularly herpes si...

Win Anavita Moisturizing Cream #antiaging Say Goodbye To Wrinkled, Sagging, Dry Skin In Just A Few Short Weeks! Yes Anavita Moisturizing Cream leaves the skin radiant and smooth looking!! But before you get started with using any New products, I personally recommend always exfoliating your skin. I use coconut oil and baking soda!! I am huge fan of extra virgin coconut oil and baking soda for natural exfoliating!! But if you choose to use a different exfoliate that's fine too!! I sometimes just exfoliate with my skin machine brush!! The reason I do this is for my skin can absorb in the new products a lot better. And then I only use this product to see if it works for me, Because mixing different creams for day and night is not a good idea, because how will you know if the product works for you!! Right? Well that is the way I have always done it for skincare blog reviews!! You will know longer have to have a huge collection of products to fight the wrinkles and sign of ag...

# Health benefits of Cinnamon -lower bad cholesterol, regulate blood pressure Health benefits of Cinnamon Cinnamon is typically the dried inner bark of a tropical perennial tree that has a sweet, warm refreshing aroma. This spice has been used since ancient times to flavor baked products, drinks, stews, sauces, and gravies, as well as to treat many ailments. The unique healing properties of the spice are attributed to its essential oils that contain active compounds primarily cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl acetate, and cinnamyl alcohol. It is also an excellent source of nutrients like dietary fiber, iron, calcium, and manganese. The duo of calcium and fiber prevents the damaging effect of bile salt on the cells of the colon by eliminating excess bile salts from the body, thereby reducing the risk of colon cancer. In few studies, cinnamon has been reported to reduce the proliferation of cancerous leukocytes. Eating half a teaspoon of cinnamon powder daily has been found to ...

# Foods that Boost # Memory Must-have # nutrients @ getnutrifacts * Memory enhancers Keeps your memory sharp Important Info for everyone to Read In the days before writing, people had only their memory to depend on. In fact, surnames like Tripathi come from an ability to remember things in three goes. Examinations not only put to test our ability to understand a subject but also our ability to retain what we study. Exam time often translates to a lot of tension, anxiety and gruelling hard work.

Low nutrition equals stress Low nutrient intake, environmental toxins, day-to-day stress, overwork, stimulants like alcohol, tobacco and junk foods affect our mental function. You may have noticed that some people, who normally handle a stressed situation with ease, begin to overreact to a similar situation at times. This is because, of...
