Endothelial Health Equals Cardiovascular Health!

Posted by Dan Hammer //

08/15/2019

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 →

Resetting Your Gut Microbiome With The Mediterranean Diet

06/15/2017

I just recently came across an excellent article on The 15 Health Benefits of the Mediterranean Diet by Jen Miller. I’ve listed these 15 health benefits below.

As I was reading her post I kept thinking that the Mediterranean Diet is an excellent way to address the 3 E’s and 4 R’s to Gut Health. How this way of life can:

Eliminate Dysbiosis

Eliminate Inflammation

Eliminate Leaky Gut

while helping you

Remove Foods and Factors That Damage Your Gut

Replace With Healing Foods

Repair With Specific Supplements

Rebalance With Prebiotics and Probiotics

The Mediterranean diet is based on the traditional foods that were consumed by ancient populations in Italy and Greece. Over time this diet has been modified. But its core components have remained the same.

And the resulting health benefits make the Western diet look like a death sentence. Read More →

Let me start out by saying that vitamin K2 benefits are amazing. This one simple addition to your daily diet can have a profound impact on lowering your risk for most age-related diseases. And vitamin K2 benefits also play a role in longevity.

A recent 2014 study of more than 7,000 people showed that those with the highest intake of vitamin K2 were 36% less likely to die from any cause when compared with those having the lowest intake of this critical nutrient.

The table below highlights how vitamin K2 benefits you in reducing your risk for many of the leading causes of death.

The Truth About L-Citrulline

The amino acid L-citrulline plays a vital role on the production of nitric oxide. Some would say that it’s even more important then L-arginine for the creation of this Miracle Molecule.

It’s with this in mind that we produced a new video titled “The Truth About L-Citrulline!” This video is part of The Million Lives Project, which is helping a million people or more understand how they could effectively use Nitric Oxide Therapy to significantly improve their health while reducing their risk for cardiovascular health concerns like high blood pressure, diabetes, sexual and cognitive function issues, and poor wound healing.

We invite you to watch this excellent video by either clicking here or clicking on the video.

We’ve just put the finishing touches on our Nitric Oxide Therapy eBook. It’s part of The Million Lives Project that we’re kicking off for 2017.

What’s The Million Lives Project?

Our goal is to help a million people or more understand how they could effectively use Nitric Oxide Therapy to significantly improve their health while reducing their risk for cardiovascular health concerns like high blood pressure, diabetes, sexual and cognitive function issues, and poor wound healing.

It also helps athletes understand how to use Nitric Oxide Therapy to improve their athletic training, performance, and recovery.

The Acid Alkaline Balance – Part 1

Posted by Dan Hammer //

07/01/2016

Your acid alkaline balance is a critical factor for both disease prevention and how well you age. This means understanding your body’s pH and its effect on your health is a critical component for a successful health strategy.

Some would even consider your body’s pH the single most important item to pay attention to for both optimal health and disease prevention.

Because of the scope of this issue, I have divided the acid alkaline balance into two parts. To set the stage for Part 1 we need to discuss the following topic.

Life Expectancy!

In the early 1900s the life expectancy in the United States was under 50 years of age. Over the last 100 years our life expectancy has increased to approximately 80 years of age, a 60% increase. Most experts in this area would attribute this increase to lower infant mortality, better diet, and improved hygiene. However, an interesting trend is occurring. With all the medicine and prescription drugs available to us today, especially here in the United States, we are continuing to move down on the life expectancy charts when compared to other countries. We are currently 48th in life expectancy.

Fiber Intake and Cholesterol Reduction Part 2

In our previous post on fiber and cholesterol reduction I shared with you how fiber can naturally help most people experience cholesterol reduction. In this post I’ll help you discover some farily simple ways to increase your fiber intake.

3 Simple Steps to Increasing Your Fiber Intake!

When most people hear the concept of increasing their fiber intake they immediately think about eating multigrain breads and a lot of lettuce. This is not what their culinary taste buds are going to get excited about. Plus, it’s not the most effective way to implement this change in lifestyle.

The following 3 steps are realistic so that everyone can achieve the goal of increased fiber intake and be able to do it long term. These steps will help improve your overall health and be an effective strategy for cholesterol reduction.

Cholesterol reduction through the use of statin drugs has become a big and profitable business for the pharmaceutical industry. As more and more people have opted for a pill to help control their cholesterol levels fewer people are using fiber as their first line of defense.

So why has the use of fiber declined? For most people compliance is the issue!

In this post we’ll examine how increasing your fiber intake helps in cholesterol reduction. In part 2 I’ll share with you 3 steps to increase your fiber intake.

This stroke risk assessment tool will help you quantify your risk for a stroke. Please remember that everyone is at risk for a stroke. This assessment tool will help you determine how great your risk is and what areas you could work at to reduce your risk.

Instructions:
There are eight categories with three to four answers in each category. Each answer has a numerical value. Please circle or write down the numerical value that relates to your answer. Add up all the circled or written numbers for a final risk score.

Stroke Prevention – Two Key Factors!

Posted by Dan Hammer //

05/15/2016

Learning how to address two key factors could make a big difference in stroke prevention. Since stroke is the number one cause of adult disability and the third leading cause of death in the United States, addressing this issue of stroke prevention could be the difference between life or death and permanent disability or significant recovery.

The health of your cardiovascular system is just as important to brain health as it is to heart health. If you have a blockage in one of the arteries of the heart we call it a heart attack. If that same blockage occurs in the brain it’s a stroke.

In reviewing both the uncontrollable and controllable risk factors for a stroke, it’s quiet clear that the health of your endothelium and its ability to properly produce nitric oxide can play a critical role in stroke prevention.
