Mediterranean Diet - 5 Ways To Living A Longer, Stronger Life Without Heart Disease

Posted on 16th | Posted by admin in Health and Fitness

In the early 1990’s two of my best friends died at very young ages. Crushed and bewildered by these unexpected losses, I delved into the reasons for their illnesses and subsequent deaths. Soon it became clear to me that modern medicine does not have all the answers and that unless we take control of our bodies and practice prevention, we might not reach old age. Or even if we do, we might not enjoy the best possible health. My research also helped me realize the remarkable benefits of the diet and lifestyle of my native Spain. It is a fact that people living in Mediterranean countries are healthier than Americans and that they have almost half as many deaths from cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and obesity as Americans. So, if the Mediterranean diet has worked for its people for centuries in warding them from many of the chronic diseases that plague us now, why not copying it? There is no need to reinvent the wheel. The good news is that if you start emulating the lifestyle of the Mediterranean world now, you will attain newfound health by nourishing the whole person through changes to both your diet and your lifestyle. Here’s how.

The Great Divide

What if there were a significant identifiable risk factor for the cause of coronary heart disease, stroke and peripheral vascular disease (fatty deposits in peripheral arteries). Is this something that you would want to know about? More importantly would you want your doctor checking your status with regards to this risk factor during your checkups?

By significant I mean that 40% of the 12.5 million deaths due to strokes that occur globally each year are a result of this risk factor. What about the estimated 16.7 million people who die each year (globally) from cardiovascular disease. Of those 16.7 million this risk factor increased their risk of heart attack by 50%. Of course we hear a lot about Alzheimer’s disease, but we don’t hear that our chances of developing this disease are increased by 150% by this very same risk factor.

Bruise Be Gone

Posted on 22nd | Posted by admin in Health and Fitness

Women living on blood thinners are no strangers to bruising. A tight shoe, a light bump against a chair or an over zealous thigh slap while laughing can cause a nasty-looking mark that can be embarrassing — to a woman and her family.

“I was constantly bruised, on my arms, legs, torso and face, even dark purple dark circles around my eyes and splotching on the skin of my face. I really looked bad. It was to the point where my husband didn’t want to take me any place because he was compelled to say, “I don’t beat her, it’s the Coumadin®! It is really bad when your family feels they have to apologize for the way you look,” said Mellanie True Hills, founder of the American Foundation for Women’s Health.
