Endothelial Health Equals Cardiovascular Health!

Posted by Dan Hammer //

Endothelial Health

When was the last time anyone ever asked you about your endothelial health?

NEVER!

It’s estimated that there are approximately 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the adult body. These blood vessels include arteries, veins, and capillaries. They’re all protected by a microscopic inner lining of endothelial cells. What is commonly called the endothelium.

It’s important to note that these cells line the entire circulatory system. From the inside of your heart all the way down to your smallest capillary. When added up, the volume of these endothelial cells would cover the surface area of 4 to 8 tennis courts depending upon the size of the individual.

That’s amazing since the endothelium is only one cell thick and can’t be seen by the human eye.

Once discovered, the endothelium was classified as an inert membrane whose primary function was to keep the blood in the circulatory system and out of the body’s tissues and organs.

Research over the last 25 years has shown that your endothelium is an active, multi-functional tissue that plays a vital role in metabolic, immunologic, and cardiovascular health.

Or is your endothelium an organ? Read More →

Key Supplements For Heart Health

Supplements for Heart Health

One of the primary focuses for the month of February is cardiovascular health. Today I want to share with you key supplements for heart health.

Now you can do a Google search using the term supplements for heart health and you’ll find numerous articles.

For example WebMD recommends 6 different supplements.

And Better Nutrition recommends 9 different supplements.

And while the 6 from WebMD are good and the 9 supplements for heart health from Better Nutrition are good, there are 3 that are key.

Two of these 3 always make everyone’s list. One is seldom listed but equally important.

I’ve written about each of these in the past. For for this blog post I thought I’d pulled them all together for a quick review. If you would like more knowledge about each, I’ve linked them to my specific article about that supplement.

Here are my recommendations regarding supplements for heart health. I’ve listed them based on importance.

Supplements for Heart Health – CoQ10

CoQ10 is critical to the energy supply of the heart.

Within every cell are mitochondria. Mitochondria are the batteries or power generators. They convert the stored energy of the nutrients you consume into an energy form that your cells can use to perform their function.

CoQ10 is a critical component in the process of converting stored energy in your food into energy compounds your cells can use to do the work they are designed to do.

Without CoQ10 your cellular energy systems will fail and your cells will not function properly.

And here is why I place this supplement as they most important for hearth health.

As the pharmaceutical industry has observed, the use of statins (which interfere with CoQ10 production in the liver) leads to an increase in congestive heart failure.

This means anyone taking a statin drug needs to take a CoQ10 supplement.

Additionally, CoQ10 is also a powerful antioxidant to help protect your cells and cell membranes from harmful free radicals. This protects your cells from oxidative stress that causes inflammation, which then contributes to cellular dysfunction and most diseases.

Supplments for Heart Health – Omega 3s

Inflammation is the root cause of most cardiovascular health concerns.

Omega 3 oils like Coconut Oil, Avocados, Grass-fed Butter, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and Fish rich in Omega-3s actually help to turn off inflammation.

Due to food choices, most Americans eat a diet that has a 20:1 ration of omega-6 to omega-3 fats, which creates an environments for chronic inflammation. This chronic inflammation then increases a person’s risk for all types of diseases.

Especially heart disease.

This increased risk was pointed out in research conducted at Harvard University were they showed that omega-3 fatty acid deficiency ranked as the sixth highest killer of Americans. Actually claiming approximately 96,000 people per year.

If you want to reverse this deficiency, then you need to consume a diet rich in omega-3 and significantly reduce your intake of omega-6 oils.

Supplements for Heart Health – Vitamin D3

As the body of scientific research continues to grow, the number of health benefits from vitamin D3 also grows. Here is a brief summary of some of these vitamin D3 benefits as it applies to your cardiovascular system:

Helps to Maintain Calcium Balance in the Bloodstream – Vitally important to cardiovascular health is the proper maintenance of your blood calcium levels. This helps to prevent calcification of the vascular wall, which leads to arteriosclerosis. Additionally, your endothelial cells, which line all of your cardiovascular system, need calcium to be able to convert the amino acid L-arginine into nitric oxide – the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system.

Helps in Blood Pressure Regulation – Recent studies have shown that vitamin D3 may decrease the risk for high blood pressure. This would make sense since proper blood calcium levels are needed to initiate the production of nitric oxide from L-arginine. Since nitric oxide is the body’s most powerful vasodilator, it is used to relax the vascular wall to help control blood pressure.

Additionally, vitamin D3 inhibits the enzyme renin, which is released by the kidneys. This enzyme acts to increase blood pressure. By inhibiting this enzyme, vitamin D3 helps to maintain normal blood pressures.

High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for strokes and heart attacks so this supplement is a good choice to help maintain a normal blood pressure.

That is my list of the key supplements for heart health. Certainly others can be added but these three are my recommendations.

Nitric Oxide Therapy and Heart Health

Nitric Oxide Therapy and Heart Health

Over 20 years ago there was an explosion of research on nitric oxide therapy and heart health.

It started with the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine being awarded to 3 American researchers for discovering how the lining of your cardiovascular system, called the endothelium, converts the amino acid L-arginine into nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide is the master signaling molecule of your cardiovascular system. You couldn’t live without nitric oxide.

Fast forward to 2019.

Currently, there are over 100,000 peer reviewed clinical studies in the area of nitric oxide.

Yet still to this day, nitric oxide therapy and heart health is not recognized by the American Heart Association as a valid method for addressing cardiovascular concerns. You can go to their website and search “nitric oxide” and nothing will come up.

What will come up is an article titled “Cardiovascular diseases affect nearly half of American adults.” According to this article 46% of US adults have high blood pressure.

High blood pressure is the number one risk factor for strokes and heart attacks.

Yet nitric oxide therapy can be a natural method to bring blood pressures back into the normal range.

In his bestselling book NO More Heart Disease, Nobel Laureate in Medicine Dr. Louis J. Ignarro makes this statement on the cover,

“How Nitric Oxide Can Prevent – Even Reverse – Heart Disease and Strokes”

As Dr. Ignarro discovered, nitric oxide is created naturally in your body to help maintain normal blood flow. In fact, nitric oxide provides the following key benefits:

  • First, it helps to restore and maintain the health and flexibility of your arteries and veins.
  • Second, it improves blood flow by relaxing the smooth muscle of the vascular wall
  • Third, it keeps blood platelet cells from sticking together to naturally reduce your risk for strokes and heart attacks.
  • Forth, it accelerates the repair process to support natural healing.

As Dr. Ignarro states in his book,

“A tiny molecule called nitric oxide is produced by the body specifically to help keep arteries and veins free of the plaque that causes strokes and to maintain normal blood pressure by relaxing the arteries, thereby regulating the rate of blood flow and preventing coronaries. Nitric oxide is the body’s natural cardiovascular wonder drug.”

Nitric Oxide Therapy and Heart Health – The Million Lives Project

To help people become aware of this “natural cardiovascular wonder drug,” I’ve associated myself with The Million Lives Project. Their goal is to help 1 million people or more understand how nitric oxide therapy can be a natural way to address most cardiovascular health concerns.

And they have produced a series of videos to help educate adults on how nitric oxide therapy can address the following concerns:

Hopefully, this information on nitric oxide therapy and heart health can empower you and your loved ones to use a valid and natural way to improve your cardiovascular health.

Nitric Oxide Therapy Addresses High Blood PressureA little over a week ago 31 million Americans were classified as having high blood pressure. Yet no one in the medical community is helping them understand how nitric oxide therapy addresses high blood pressure.

This post contains a link to Our Nitric Oxide Therapy ebook.

This ebook will help you understand how the 1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to 3 American researchers for discovery how the lining of your cardiovascular system (called the endothelium) converts the amino acid L-arginine into nitric oxide.

Nitric oxide has been called the Miracle Molecule for what it can do to help regulate your cardiovascular system for improved blood flow.

With the awarding of the Nobel Prize there was an explosion of research in this area. Currently, there are over 100,000 peer reviewed clinical studies in the area of nitric oxide therapy. Yet even as we end the year 2017 most people have never heard of this natural way to address most cardiovascular health concerns including high blood pressure. Read More →

New High Blood Pressure Guidelines

Posted by Dan Hammer //
 11/15/2017

New high blood pressure guidelines were established on Monday, November 13th 2017, which means that New High Blood Pressure Guidelinesover tens of millions of Americans woke up that day to having a high blood pressure issue.

The old standard for having high blood pressure was 140 over 90.

The new high blood pressure guidelines are now 130 over 80. This means that if your systolic blood pressure (first number) is at 130 or higher and your diastolic blood pressure (second number) is at 80 or higher you now have Stage 1 hypertension.

These new parameters were jointly announced by the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and nine other health professional organizations.

So let’s examine the impact these new high blood pressure guidelines have on the American adult population. Read More →

Can Garlic Benefit Your Health

Posted by Dan Hammer //
 06/08/2017

If you search the web for information on garlic you’re going to find a wide range of conflicting information.Garlic Some of the information will tell you this herb is effective for a variety of health challenges. Other articles will tell you that the benefits of garlic are as mythical as its ability to protect you from vampires.

This article will give you a fair and balance perspective so that you can make an intelligent choice on whether to include this herb as part of your health plan.

History of Garlic


Garlic belongs to the Allium family of vegetables which also includes onions, chives, shallots and leeks. It’s a perennial herb with a bulb that can contain 5 – 15 cloves.

While it has been used for centuries as a culinary and medicinal herb, it wasn’t until 1844 that a German chemist named Theodor Wertheim was able to distill the pungent substance in this herb. He called it allyl.

In 1848 Louis Pasteur demonstrated that allyl could inhibit the growth of bacteria. For whatever reasons, Louis Pasteur and others abandoned further research on this herb and its ability to inhibit bacterial growth. Read More →
