Diet plays an important factor in maintaining a healthy heart. We’ve discussed some specific ways you can improve your diet, but here are a few diet programs you can follow. According to The Federal Government Source for Women’s Health Information, there are four plans that emphasize heart health:

MyPyramid Eating Plan - based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans. It was developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to help people lower their risk of serious diseases linked to diet, including heart disease.

Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan - Developed by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to help people with hypertension lower their blood pressure. But it can also be used to help prevent heart disease.

Heart Healthy Diet - Created by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to help people keep their blood levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol (or “bad” cholesterol) low.

Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) Diet - developed by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to help people with unhealthy blood cholesterol levels.

Along with a healthy diet, EDTA oral chelation therapy can reduce your risk for developing heart disease. Cardio Renew is 100% pure liquid EDTA that will chelate calcium as well as other minerals and heavy metals out of your body resulting in clean arteries. By cleansing the veins and arteries, this increases blood flow. When you reduce the blockage and increase circulation, your body receives the proper blood rich in oxygen and nutrients which can allow it to recuperate, regenerate and operate normally once again.

Being able to recognize and then treat a Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) can reduce your chances of having a major stroke. TIAs are important in predicting if a stroke will occur rather than when one will happen. They can occur days, weeks or even months before a major stroke. In about half the cases, the stroke occurs within one year of the TIA.

Transient ischemic attacks usually last for a few minutes. Most signs and symptoms disappear within an hour, and, by definition, all effects disappear within 24 hours. The signs and symptoms of TIA may include:

• Sudden weakness, numbness or paralysis in your face, arm or leg, typically on one side of your body
• Slurred or garbled speech or difficulty understanding others
• Sudden blindness in one or both eyes or double vision
• Dizziness, loss of balance or loss of coordination

Since there is no way to tell whether symptoms are from a TIA or an acute stroke, you should assume that all stroke-like symptoms are emergency and should not wait to see if they go away. Go immediately to an emergency room and seek care. EDTA chelation therapy improves blood flow to the brain and can help reduce your risk of TIA strokes.

Yesterday we talked about some of the effects and causes of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Today we’ll discuss the symptoms, diagnosis and treatment for Rheumatoid Arthritis. Symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis may include:

• Joint pain
• Joint swelling
• Joints that are tender to the touch
• Red and puffy hands
• Firm bumps of tissue under the skin on your arms (rheumatoid nodules)
• Fatigue
• Morning stiffness that lasts at least 30 minutes
• Fever
• Weight loss

Diagnosing Rheumatoid Arthritis is a process. A diagnosis will be made from a medical history, a physical exam, lab tests and X-rays Rheumatoid Arthritis is a process. There isn’t a sure-fire test that can tell you positively that you have Rheumatoid Arthritis.

There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment for rheumatoid arthritis aims to reduce inflammation in your joints in order to relieve pain and prevent or slow joint damage. Medications such as NSAIDs , DMARDs and steroids can relieve pain and slow or halt the progression of joint damage. If medications fail, surgery may be another option.

Alternative treatment is also available such as EDTA chelation therapy. EDTA acts as a good anti-inflammatory, along with the chelation process increasing blood flow, oral chelation therapy can help relieve pains and conditions caused by arthritis.

Rheumatoid Arthritis is a form of arthritis that causes pain, swelling, stiffness and loss of function in your joints. It can affect any joint but is most common in the wrist and fingers. Women tend to get rheumatoid arthritis more often than men. It usually starts between ages 25 and 55. Rheumatoid Arthritis affects people in many different ways. Symptoms may come and go. You might have the disease for only a short time, or you could have it for the rest of your life.

Early diagnosis and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis is critical. Studies have shown that early aggressive treatment of RA can limit joint damage, which in turn limits loss of movement, decreased ability to work, higher medical costs and potential surgery.

The cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis is unknown. In some families, multiple members can be affected, suggesting a genetic basis for the disorder. While there is no cure, it is easier than ever to control Rheumatoid Arthritis through the use of new drugs, exercise, joint protection techniques and self-management techniques.

Clogged arteries are caused by a build up of arterial plaque over time. Arterial plaque is a substance made up mostly of cholesterol, fat, and calcium that builds up in your arteries over time. The formation of plaque is a natural part of the body’s processes. In many people, however, the accumulation of plaque is enough to block blood flow. This can lead to stroke, heart attack, and even sudden death.

There are ways you can slow down the progression of blockage to your arteries. Achieve or maintain a healthy weight, manage your stress levels, and begin an oral chelation therapy program. Chelation therapy cleanses the arteries by removing unwanted metals and excessive mineral deposits which cause plaque buildup.
