How to reduce your risk for Heart Disease the Natural Way

Are you one of the millions of people that is suffering from heart disease or even worse?  Have already experienced a heart attack.

These days it’s hard not to meet someone who is either suffering from heart disease, has had a heart attack or has been told they are at risk for heart disease. It’s just about as common as meeting someone with brown hair. Unfortunately, the media and even many well-meaning doctors are completely misinformed on how to tackle this growing epidemic. It’s the number one killer in the US and plaguing many other countries as well.

What are we to do?

The best plot of attack is to combat the risk factors the best we can.

Use the following 5 tips to get you started on a heart healthy plot:

1. Drop the smokes. Yes, smoking has been shown to be one of the largest risk factors in heart disease, mainly because of all the toxic chemicals added to cigarettes (not that I’m recommending tobacco or anything.)

2. Walk, walk, walk. If finding time for a structured exercise program is just too much of a challenge right now, just start by walking. I have known many people who have strengthened their heart and reversed severe conditions by getting outside and walking. If you can, find a scenic route. There’s nothing more calming than the outdoors. (I highly recommend whistling and singing while you walk. It makes for pleased thoughts.)

3. Cool down. By this I mean, don’t stress about the stuff you don’t have to. This is really a very amusing statement coming from me who used to stress about everything! Deadlines, laundry, work, family… you name it, I stressed about. Not until I realized that this would kill me no matter how healthy my food was did I drop the stress and pick up the laughter. Right now as I write this newsletter, I’ve got more things that need to get done today than are humanly possible. My reaction “Haha..better place my Superwoman shirt on”

4. Do not and I repeat, do not go on a low-stout diet. Your heart condition may get worse in your attempts. Drop the terrible fats (like hydrogenated oil and the nasty oil in French fries and donuts) and start eating more healthy fats like coconut oil, olive oil, salmon, walnuts and whole organic eggs.

5. Do not be worried to eat saturated stout. If read “The Truth About Saturated Stout” in The Diet Solution Program you know that eating saturated fats is not what is causing people to get heart disease. It is processed foods, sugars and an overabundance of refined carbohydrates that is making this country so sick

Diets Are Not Your Friend

Are you wondering why you’re not losing weight? If you’re
like me, you’ve tried every fad diet imaginable, and
nothing seems to work – at least not long-term. I’ve
personally tried Weight Watchers (that worked great until
my schedule changed and I was no longer able to attend
meetings), Atkins (not easy to follow for someone who
travels a lot and loves to dine out), and crazy fad diets
like the cabbage soup diet, the grapefruit diet, juice
fasts, and countless others. I was hungry all the time,
and I wasn’t able to sustain any substantial weight loss
because there are three secrets that NONE of those diets
told me.

First, diets don’t work, PERIOD. Any plan that’s highly
restrictive, structured or specialized is unrealistic for
long-term maintenance. Plus, any diet that requires you to
totally eliminate foods from your diet is a recipe for
disaster. Personally, I don’t care for chocolate. However,
when someone tells me I can’t or shouldn’t have chocolate,
it’s amazing how I suddenly crave it! When someone takes
away a choice, the average person wants that choice back -
even if it didn’t mean much when the option was available
in the first place. Additionally, most diets don’t work
for everyone, and you won’t know if a diet works unless
you try it. Trying many diets without seeing results can
lead to “dieter’s frustration” which, in many cases, just
packs on more pounds.

The second point that most diets fail to mention is that
you must eat frequently to regulate your metabolism and
burn fat. Extreme low-calorie and tiny “portion-control”
diets put your body into starvation mode, which means your
body clings to food because it doesn’t know when its next
meal is coming. This explains how you can actually eat
less food and consume less calories, and still not lose
any weight. If your diet makes you feel hungry all the
time, that’s definitely not a good sign. The best nutrition
plans require that you eat five or six small meals per day,
no more than four hours apart.

Finally, diets are lying to you when they say you must be
“patient” and expect to lose only one to two pounds per
week. For someone like me, who had fifty pounds to lose,
this information was devastating. If you have a lot of
weight to lose (50 pounds or more), it is not unhealthy to
drop three to five pounds per week, particularly in the
beginning. In my experience, the greatest motivator is
early results. When you can see the fruit of your efforts,
you are much more likely to press onward when the going
gets tough. Early results can help you maintain focus and
keep your determination alive. An excellent all-natural
supplement such as NiteTrim can jump-start your results
from other weight-loss efforts. Supplements such as
NiteTrim can also help you break through the dreaded
“plateaus.”

Once I discovered these three secrets, I realized that the
best way to get in shape and maintain a healthy body is
through proper nutrition, regular exercise and appropriate
supplementation. By far the best program I’ve found is a
combination of Bill Phillips’ Body for LIFE and NiteTrim.
Bill Phillips has truly made nutrition simple, effective, and
easy to follow. Additionally, the Body for LIFE book
provides step-by-step exercise and fitness guidance
suitable for anyone, regardless of experience or current
fitness level. NiteTrim is an all-natural supplement that
effectively burns fat, and the company offers a 30-day
free trial supply, as well as a money-back guarantee.
