    So much contradictory information on  the subject.

    Gingelly oil initially thought to raise Cholesterol.Now they say it is actually good for heart.

    There is again a school of thought which says that Cholesterol prevents heart attacks.

    Under the circumstances for Indians,it is better to proceed with our traditional cookery with ingredients thereon , seems to be the best, as our ancestors have had no problem of any sort by following this diet.

    From personal experience ,Gingelly oil is best even for some irksome ailments.

    If you have ulcer in the mouth, gargle a mouth- full of Gingelly oil and spit it out after 2 minutes.

    Ulcers are gone.

    1. Ground turkey. Even when ground turkey is labeled as 85% lean, it has 12.5 grams of fat in a 3-ounce portion, says Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, RD, Georgia State University nutrition professor emerita. Her advice: Ground turkey breast can be a heart-healthy substitute for ground beef, but watch the portion size because it’s not without fat.”
    2. Added sugars (such as table sugar or high fructose corn syrup). One of the biggest surprises is that added sugars in processed and prepared foods are associated with decreased HDL levels. A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in April 2010 found an association between added sugars and blood lipid levels and discovered adults averaged 21 teaspoons of added sugars daily. “Increased added sugars are associated with blood cholesterol levels and heart disease risk,” says Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, author of Guide to Better Digestion.  Everyone would benefit by reducing the amount of added sugars in the diet because they can also lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes, Bonci says. The AHA recommends getting no more than 100 calories from added sugars on a 2,000 calories-per-day diet.
    3. Mashed potatoes. “Most mashed potatoes, especially at restaurants, include hefty portions of butter, cream, whole milk, sour cream, and/or cream cheese, turning a perfectly healthy potato into a saturated fat bomb,” says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Marissa Moore, MBA, RD. Order a plain baked potato and top it with vegetables, salsa, or low-fat sour cream. Another option: Enjoy the natural sweetness of a vitamin A-rich plain baked sweet potato.
    4. Pizza. Just one slice of plain pizza has 10 grams of fat and 4.4 grams of saturated fat — and we all know that one slice without any pepperoni is not the usual order. Stick to one slice and top it with lots of high-fiber, filling vegetables.
    5. Whole-fat dairy products. “Dairy foods are nutrient-rich, loaded with calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals, but if your choice is full-fat, you could be getting a hefty dose of saturated fat,” says nutrition consultant and author Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD. For example, one cup of Fage Total Plain Classic Greek yogurt has 18g saturated fat, but if you choose their 0% variety, it has no fat. When you choose nonfat or low-fat, you get all the nutritional benefits without the extra calories or fat. If you love full-fat cheese, “portion control is the answer,” Ward says.
    6. Plant foods from the tropics. Coconut, coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, and cocoa butter all sound healthy but they are the only plant foods that contain saturated fat, says Connie Diekman, Med, RD, Washington University nutrition director. “Read labels for these terms and enjoy them in small doses so they won’t sabotage your cholesterol level,” she says. Karmally calls pina coladas “heart attack in a glass — there are 602 calories and 20 grams saturated fat in a 12-ounce glass.” And Moore says, “Don’t forget about chocolate, when eaten in excess can lead to increased cholesterol levels.”
    7. Ghee (clarified butter). In India, ghee is associated with healthful eating and honoring your guests but it is very high in saturated fat, just like butter, says Karmally. “It is also high in palmitic acid which is artery clogging.” Use heart healthy olive oil or a trans fat-free margarine instead of ghee.
    8. Pie and pastries. “Flaky crusts, streusel topping, custard filling, cheese filled pastries — these all promise a hefty dose of saturated fat because they often include butter, shortening, cream, cream cheese, and/or whole milk,” Moore says. It is the butter or shortening that makes the crust so nice and flaky. Choose fruit pies and eat mostly filling and only a few bites of the crust for a lower-fat and calorie treat.
    9. Movie theater tub popcorn. Regal Cinema’s medium-sized popcorn has a whopping 60 grams of saturated fat and 1,200 calories. Why? Because it is popped in fats, then topped off with more fat, earning it a spot on foods that can wreck your cholesterol level. Shave the fat and calories by skipping the buttery topping and opt for a smaller portion.

    Seasame oil is the health treasure:

    Maharshi Charaka puts seasame oil first in the list of items worth
    adopting. This sweet and slightly salty taste oil has one special
    property which attracted all ayurvedic community. Its power to
    rapidly reach micro channels (Strotas) is remarkable. First it
    reaches micro channels and then it gets digested. This way it gives
    energy and alertness to all cells. It is appetiser causing extra
    hunger, leading to proper digestion, therefore regarded as tonic also.

    Best medicine for Vata disorders

    Disorders such as Arthritis, stress incontinence, obessity owe their
    existence to unbalance of Vata. Hypertension and CAD also belong to
    Vatic category of diseases, though pitta and kapha can also coexist
    in such cases.

    One can use seasame oil as supportive diet in such cases. Seasame oil
    is ‘grahi’ means causes Baddha action on stools and urine. Hence bed
    wetting children can be given one handful of black seasame seeds to
    chew and swallow every morning evening. Within a month significant
    benifits can be seen. Due to cell-penetrating power of seasame oil,
    it takes every medicine dissolved in it also to all cells. Hence most
    of Vatic massage oils are made using seasame oil.

    Good for teeth problems too

    If your gums have become loose, tooth are paining, moving when
    pressed, pus/blood coming out from gums and dentist may have
    recommended removing all. Gargle with seasame oil. Astonishing
    benifit has been obtained by those who believed in the power of
    seasame oil and carried out this gargle thrice a day.

    Makes skin smooth and shining

    A serious problem in winter. When vata increases, skin dries out. It
    becomes rough also. Vata really means inadequate flow of nutrients to
    parts of body. Thus circulation of blood, hormones, cerebro-spinal-
    fluid and signals in nerves, everything is governed by proper Vata
    balance. Blocking of channels, arteries is what sets up disorders.
    While massage can help in all vata disorders, generally seasame oil
    is used for massage in most cases. Essential oils are also mixed in
    to explot sharpness property of seasame oil.

    Useful to women under Menopause

    The women in menopause suffer due to many uterine diseases. Modern
    practitioners advise hysterectomy under most circumstances. Ayurveda
    regards these problems falling under Vata vitiation and advise use of
    seasame oil as the first choice. Those advised hysterectomy can try
    this. Chew finely black seasame seeds, one handful evry morning and
    evening for six months. No hysterectomy will be needed thereafter for
    lifetime. Further, simultaneously, they can take enima of seasame oil
    and dashmul quath, Nirgundi etc, but under expert supervision. March
    and Septemeber are ideal months in India for such enima. Dr Vasant
    Lad has given a home panch karma procedure, already published on this
    list.

    Save yourself from Hypertension and CAD

    Seasame oil is extensively used for patients of hypertension and CAD.
    Ayurvedic experts use medicated seasame oil in shirodhara. This
    treatment causes deep sleep. This in turn reduces blood pressure.
    Massage by seasame oil improves blood circulation, which reduces
    heart work load. Those who are in Maharashtra, India can call
    National Association for Blind, Worli, Mumbai, where massage experts
    are blind men and women. While they charge very reasonably and give
    home service, proper training received by them and the dedication
    they have to the profession, causes wonderful results. Their mind
    power gets concentrated in their fingures.

    Seasame oil actually reduces cholesterol, just like pure ghee of
    Indian cow. ghee is already discussed on this list. Thse two, when
    used in diet, will reduce the chances of heart stroke. Ayurvedic
    medicines for heart are made from cow ghee. Take Arjuna Ghrutam,
    Brahmi Ghrutam as examples. If one wishes to make a fast penetrating
    medicine which reaches the strotas within say an hour, make it in cow
    ghee.

    Various practitioners, without understanding the great praise for
    seasame oil by ancient sage, advise eating boiled beans and cereals.
    The sales promotion campaigns by Multinational companies may have
    caused this state. However, the Baghar (sauting) made by using this
    oil, causes penetration of the molecules of mustard, cummin seeds,
    fenugreek seeds into oil and therefore cereals. When these spices get
    mixed this way, Vata pacifying property is imparted to curry. This is
    also brought out in one old messasge on ayurvedaonline by Maharshi
    Ayurveda experts.

    When seasame oil is used for frying, it will become poison in the
    same manner as all other oils. All oils, when start foaming under
    heat, become poisons due to free radicals generated. To preserve all
    vitamins, oil should not foam during heating. South indian diet uses
    much less ghee, but use of seasame oil and coconut oil is maximum.
    Dosa is not contra-indicated if seasame oil is used as a non-stick
    medicum.

    Also cold pressed oil should be used rather than hot pressed. Those
    residing in Mumbai, Maharashtra can obtain cold pressed oil from
    Yusuf Meherali Centre, Panvel, Mumbai. If you get it from some other
    source, taste it before buying. It must give a little salty taste.

    Use of seasame oil as cooking medium instead of other oils is the
    first line in the diet recommendation of every patient this author
    treats.

    Heart disease is the biggest killer of both men and women.

    According to the American Heart Association, nearly 70% of the US population has some level of heart disease.

    • Every 34 seconds, someone in the USA dies of a heart attack!
    • 50% of those who have a heart attack never have a warning.  In other words, the very first symptom of heart disease for these people is a heart attack!
    • 33% of those without any prior symptoms of heart disease DIE from their first heart attack. In other words, their first symptom is death!

    It is a silent but very deadly disease.

    • 1,000,000 people per year die in the United States alone from atherosclerosis.
    • 50% of people who die of a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels.

    So we can’t just look at total cholesterol levels anymore.  With 21st century technology, we have to look at a person’s levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, LDL (bad cholesterol), lipoprotein (a) and so forth.

    The American Heart Association also says that some drug remedies increase the risk of a heart attack by 60%. Many high blood pressure drugs multiply the problem.

    These drugs cause impotency in men, and cause gout, diabetes, headaches, dizziness, depression, and high cholesterol levels in both men and women.

    Another set of drugs that conventional doctors give are called beta blockers. They cause nausea, sexual dysfunction, drowsiness, dizziness, low blood sugar, loss of appetite, fatigue and depression.

    The most common statin-related problems are muscle aches or weakness, fatigue, memory and cognitive problems, sleep problems, and neuropathy (nerve damage), liver damaged and increased cancer risk.

    Women taking statins [including Lipitor] have breast cancer rates 12 times higher than other women. Statins also deplete the body of CoQ10, which tends to be already abnormally low in women.

    Having heart surgery is not the answer either. (I personally found that out too late).

    Studies by Harvard Medical School researchers and the U.S. Government’s Office of Technology Assessment have concluded that a staggering 85% of bypass surgeries were not necessary.

    • Up to 42% of the 700.000 Americans who have coronary bypasses each year can expect to have diminished mental capacity.
    • Up to 50% of surgeries fail, requiring another bypass to restore adequate coronary blood flow.
    • Up to 4% die on the table.
    • Up to 5% suffer from a surgery-related stroke, due to the temporary shortage of oxygen to the brain.
    • 80% return to their previous condition within 7 years.
    • 19% have a heart attack, stroke or hemorrhage after surgery.
    • 30% have slight brain damage.
    • 20% suffer depression, and many men become impotent.

    The way to avoid all that is to start a healthy lifestyle of proper diet, exercise and the intake of certain nutritional supplements.  Cardio 360® provides everything anyone needs.

  • High Blood Pressure-Facts.

    High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is the most common cardiovascular disease.

    If you have high blood pressure, you’ll probably find out about it during a routine checkup. Or, you may have noticed a problem while taking your own blood pressure. But be sure to see your doctor for a definite diagnosis, and take the opportunity to learn what you can do to bring your blood pressure under control.

    Blood pressure refers to the force of blood pushing against artery walls as it courses through the body. Like air in a tire or water in a hose, blood fills arteries to a certain capacity. Just as too much air pressure can damage a tire or too much water pushing through a garden hose can damage the hose, high blood pressure can threaten healthy arteries and lead to life-threatening conditions such as heart disease and stroke.

    Hypertension is the leading cause of stroke and a major cause of heart attack. In the United States alone, approximately 73 million people have high blood pressure.

    How Is Blood Pressure Measured?

    A blood pressure reading appears as two numbers. The first and higher of the two is a measure of systolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart beats and fills them with blood. The second number measures diastolic pressure, or the pressure in the arteries when the heart rests between beats.

    Normal blood pressure rises steadily from about 90/60 at birth to about 120/80 in a healthy adult. If someone were to take your blood pressure immediately after you’d delivered a speech or jogged five miles, the reading would undoubtedly seem high. This is not necessarily cause for alarm: It’s natural for blood pressure to rise and fall with changes in activity or emotional state.

    It’s also normal for blood pressure to vary from person to person, even from one area of your body to another. But when blood pressure remains consistently high, talk with your doctor about treatment. Consistently high blood pressure forces the heart to work far beyond its capacity. Along with injuring blood vessels, hypertension can damage the brain, eyes, and kidneys.

    People with blood pressure readings of 140/90 or higher, taken on at least 2 occasions, are said to have high blood pressure. If the pressure remains high, your doctor will probably begin treatment. People with blood pressure readings of 200/120 or higher need treatment immediately. People with diabetes are treated if their blood pressure rises above 130/80, since they already have a high risk of heart disease.

    Researchers identified people with blood pressures slightly higher than 120/80 as a category at high risk for developing hypertension. This condition is called prehypertension and affects an estimated 50 million American men and women. Prehypertension is now known to increase the likelihood of damage to arteries and the heart, brain, and kidneys, so many doctors are now recommending early treatment.

    Doctors in the UK, using electrical pulses to stimulate nerve centers deep within the brain, report reduced high blood pressure that can’t be controlled with medication, WebMD reports.

    Researchers made the discovery after implanting a device that works as an electric stimulator of a region of the brain in a 55-year-old man who had developed chronic pain on the left side of his body following a stroke.

    Though his pain eventually returned after four months, his doctors report that their patient’s previously uncontrolled blood pressure has remained normal for nearly three years. That was a surprise because experts had long thought that pain had to be reduced to see a reduction in blood pressure.

    “Pain creates stress and that can have an effect on one’s blood pressure,” says Nikunj J. Patel, MD, a neurosurgeon at Frenchay Hospital in Bristol UK, and an author of the case study. Patel says that makes the impact of the case study “startling and exciting” because if  studies bear the findings out, deep brain stimulation may one day help people with hypertension whose blood pressure remains uncontrolled on multiple medications.

  • Heart Disease in Women.

    Signs of heart disease in women.

    The most important sign is feeling really tired–even if after enough sleep. Other signs of heart disease in women are:

    • Trouble breathing
    • Trouble sleeping
    • Feeling sick to the stomach
    • Feeling scared or nervous
    • New or worse headaches
    • An ache in the chest
    • Feeling “heavy” or “tight” in the chest
    • A burning feeling in the chest
    • Pain in the back, between the shoulders
    • Pain or tightness in the chest that spreads to the jaw, neck, shoulders, ear, or the inside of the arms
    • Pain in the belly, above the belly button

    There is good news: You can take steps to keep your heart healthy.

    Don’t wait to get help!

    Go to your doctor or clinic if you have any warning signs.

    Lower Your Risk of Heart Disease

    • Find out if heart disease runs in your family.
    • Visit your doctor or clinic often. Find out if you are at risk.
    • Don’t smoke. Stay away from other people who are smoking.
    • Get your blood pressure checked often. You might need medicine to keep it at the right level.
    • Control your diabetes.
    • Get your cholesterol checked often.
    • Stay active. Walking every day can lower your chances of a heart attack.
    • Eat right and keep a healthy weight.
    • Eat less salt.
    • If you take birth control pills, don’t smoke.
    • Hormones for menopause should not be used to prevent heart attacks.
    • Being stressed, angry or sad a lot may add to your risk of heart attack.
    • If you’ve had a heart attack, talk to your doctor about medicine. Some medicines can help cut down the risk of having another heart attack.

    High Blood Pressure

    • High blood pressure adds to the chance of having heart disease.
    • High blood pressure is called the “silent killer”. Most people who have it do not feel sick and don’t know that they have it.
    • Have your blood pressure checked each time you go to the doctor or clinic.

    Middle-aged women who take steps to lower their blood pressure could reduce their risk of having a stroke, heart attack, or developing heart failure, a new study shows.

    Researchers say they found that high systolic pressure — the blood pressure when the heart contracts — is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease and its complications in middle-aged and older women.

    Doctors say 36% of serious cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes are preventable by lowering blood pressure in women, compared to only 24% in men.

    For the study, investigators examined data on 9,357 adults in 11 countries in Europe, Asia, and South America for a median of 11 years. The researchers looked for absolute and relative risks of cardiovascular disease that were associated with systolic blood pressure.

    They report that three major risk factors account for 85% of the modifiable risk for heart disease in men and women — high systolic (the top number) blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking. And high systolic pressure is the most important risk factor, according to the researchers.

    Prevention of Heart Disease

    “I was surprised by the study findings that highlight the missed opportunities for prevention of heart disease in older women,” researcher Jan A. Staessen, MD, PhD, of the University of Leuven in Belgium, says in a news release.

    He says the research team found that a relatively small increase of 15 points in systolic blood pressure increased the risk of cardiovascular disease by 56% in women and 32% in men.

    For the study, the researchers looked at ambulatory blood pressure, which involves measuring blood pressure at set intervals for 24 hours during a person’s daily routine and when asleep, and conventional blood pressure readings taken in doctors’ offices.

    The researchers say ambulatory blood pressure readings have less potential for error and provide more accurate estimates of usual blood pressure and prognosis for cardiovascular disease.

    The monitor used for ambulatory readings was a small, portable device programmed to take blood pressures at specific intervals. In the study, ambulatory readings were taken at intervals of 15 to 30 minutes during the daytime, and 30 to 45 minutes at night.

    Nighttime readings are a better predictor of heart disease than daytime readings because the readings taken at night are more standardized, the researchers say. And blood pressure at night is less likely to be influenced by physical activity.

    Quality of Life

    “It is recognized that women live longer than men, but that older women usually report lower quality of life than men,” Staessen says. “By lowering systolic pressure by 15 [points] in hypertensive women, there would be an increased benefit in quality of life by prevention of cardiovascular disease.”

    The researchers say that women and their doctors ought to become more aggressive in diagnosing and treating high systolic blood pressure.

    The study is published in Hypertension: Journal of the American Heart Association

  • The Hidden Truth About “Reducing Your Cholesterol”

    Heart.
    Views may be evaluated.
    Story:
    The Hidden Truth About “Reducing Your Cholesterol”

    You may be surprised at the REAL causes of heart disease — and it’s NOT saturated fat or cholesterol

    by Mike Geary, Certified Nutrition Specialist, Certified Personal Trainer

    We all know that heart disease is one of the leading killers of people around the world, particularly highest in countries such as the US and Australia.

    However, did you know that there are several medical studies worldwide that clearly show that higher cholesterol levels in the body actually increases longevity instead of decreasing it? Yes, you heard that right! People with high cholesterol have been statistically shown to live longer and healthier than people with low cholesterol in several studies. There are multiple references for this phenomenon in Shane Ellison’s controversial book, The Hidden Truth about Cholesterol Lowering Drugs, Dr. Uffe Ravnskov’s (MD, PhD) book entitled The Cholesterol Myths, as well as Sally Fallon and Mary Enig’s book, Nourishing Traditions.

    So why in the world are the pharmaceutical and medical industry pushing for practically everyone on the planet to “lower their cholesterol”? Well, the first, and more innocent answer, is flawed medical studies from decades ago that have been accepted as fact and never fully analyzed for their validity. Another answer is that this practice of recommending that half of the damn planet takes a cholesterol lowering medication (currently, statins), regardless of whether they truly have any real risk for heart disease, creates insane multi-squillion dollar profits for the drug companies!

    As a perfectly absurd example of how doctors have been wrongly influenced by the drug companies… a couple years ago, I was a perfectly healthy 28 yr old, in great shape, exercising daily, eating a balanced healthy diet full of antioxidants and quality nutrition, no smoking, and with no real risk factors for heart disease, and just because my cholesterol level has been consistently measured over 200 for my entire life, my doctor recommended I consider using a cholesterol lowering statin drug.

    Consider how outlandish this scenario is! The drug companies have hypnotized doctors into prescribing unnecessary prescription drugs to healthy young people with perfectly normal cholesterol levels that just happen to be over this arbitrary number of 200 that they’ve come up with. Luckily, I refused to be a guinea pig and fork over my hard earned duckets for potentially dangerous drugs, and decided to start researching this whole cholesterol and heart disease connection myself. Consider also that my father, who is now 60 years old, has had cholesterol levels slightly over 200 his entire life also (just like me), yet he is perfectly healthy at his ripe age of 60.

    High Cholesterol is NOT the Villain!

    As time goes on and scientists continue to learn more about heart disease, it has become quite clear over the recent years that inflammation within the body (NOT cholesterol levels) is what causes plaque build up in the arteries and eventual heart disease. Inflammation can be caused by many personal factors such as stress, smoking, viruses, consumption of refined and/or hydrogenated fats (man-made trans fats), an imbalance of omega-6 polyunsaturated fats to omega-3 polyunsaturated fats in the diet, excess refined sugars in the diet, etc.

    Here’s a quick and dirty of how it works in general. Cholesterol is a healing substance within the body (among many other important functions), and responds to arterial inflammation by getting deposited in combination with other substances, forming “plaque” as a healing agent on the artery lining.

    Levels of inflammation in your body can be measured with what’s called a CRP test (c-reactive protein). The accuracy of this test still has room for improvement, as it can vary depending on the time of day and other factors, but it is a much better indication of heart disease risk than a cholesterol test (which is practically useless for determining heart disease risk).

    Another more important test than cholesterol levels for heart disease risk is a test for serum homocysteine levels. The next time your doctor wants you to get blood cholesterol tests, request CRP and homocysteine tests instead. He/she should be well aware of the validity of these tests if they are up to date.

    Basically, if you have significant internal inflammation, this plaque will be deposited as a healing agent regardless of whether you have high or low cholesterol. On the other hand, if you don’t have inflammation, high cholesterol levels just keep circulating without getting deposited on the artery linings. Therefore, it is more important to control inflammation rather than trying to lower your cholesterol.

    Lowering your cholesterol doesn’t attack the root of the problem (what is actually causing the inflammation in you). Lowering your cholesterol does nothing except to make the drug companies rich, and possibly leave you with a whole assortment of possible negative side-effects.

    The good news is that preventing heart disease is about living a healthy lifestyle, not about throwing down a drug pill everyday. Controlling your inflammation to prevent heart disease is as easy as reducing the stress in your life (try deep breathing exercises, Qigong, yoga, etc.), maintaining a healthy weight, eating a high-antioxidant, highly nutritious unprocessed diet (as recommended in my Truth about Six Pack Abs program), and avoiding smoking and other causes of heavy free radical production in the body.

    I hope this article has given you some helpful info about the real causes of heart disease and not the propaganda that has been shoved down your throat for years, based on flawed medical studies from 40-50 years ago, making drug companies filthy rich.

    If you or anyone you care about is currently taking statins, or if you just want to learn more about cholesterol and the scandal that is revolving currently around statin drugs, please see The Cholesterol Myths.

    On a related topic, were you aware that there is also quite a controversy these days in the health industry over the fact that saturated fat is not necessarily bad for you, and can actually be downright good for you in some cases? I posted this article a few months ago, but thought I would mention this article again
