The cardiovascular system consists of the heart and approximately 60 thousand miles of blood vessels, called arteries and veins. The heart pumps blood around the body. The vessels nourish cells by transporting nutrients and waste products, through the blood, around the body.
Any interruption in blood supply, for example a heart attack or stroke, causes tissue death so the maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system is essential.
Most cardiovascular disease occurs due to lifestyle factors such as: 1. Obesity, poor nutrition, and medication usage. 2. Free radical damage due to environmental toxins or smoking. 3. Stress or poor emotional health. 4. Lack of exercise.
Optimize Cardiovascular Function by:
- Exercising regularly, at least 3-4 times a week.
- Maintaining a healthy body weight.
- Eating less saturated fat and avoiding trans fats.
- Takeomega 3 & 6 essential fatty acid supplements
- Eating a variety of fresh, natural, nutrient dense fruits and vegetables.
- Ensuring fibre consumption is between 25-35 grams a day, try flax or psyllium powder.
- Supplementing with antioxidants such as CoQ10 to increase circulation and improve heart functions.
- Using stress relieving techniques such as mediation, yoga or tai chi.
Garlic Garlicis a popular herb in the kitchen as well as the medicine cabinet. Their sulphur compounds, alliin and allicin, have been well studied for their pharmacological activity. Garlic has many benefits for cardiovascular health. Garlic intake is shown to decrease levels of LDL cholesterol, the cholesterol responsible for cholesterol plaques and the storage of fat, and triglycerides.Garlic also increases levels of HDL cholesterol, which is responsible for moving stored fat to the liver for processing and excretion from the body. HDL cholesterol protects against plaque formation. Garlic preparations also lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation. Thus garlic can be used to prevent stroke and heart attack. Kyolic 106 Heart Health Formula contains 200mg of non-GMO Kyolic aged garlic extract.
Hawthorn Hawthorn is a cardiotonic herb which means that it supports the functioning of the heart and vascular system. It is a unique herb because it can be used for both high and low blood pressure. Its blood pressure regulating effect is mediated by several components of the herb. Hawthorn, especially the berries, contains bioflavinoids. Bioflavinoids repair damaged vessels and dilate vessels in the heart and extremities. This regulates blood pressure and also improves heart pain (angina) and leg pain (peripheral vascular disease) that are due to lack of blood flow.
Hawthorn also influences the angiotensin-converting enzyme, an enzyme that regulates blood pressure by balancing the amount of fluid in the vessels. Other antioxidants in hawthorn, called proanthocyanidins, decrease spasms in the blood vessels and reduce the build up of plaque in the arteries. Finally hawthorn improves heart functioning without altering the amount of blood going through the heart. This makes hawthorn a good choice for the treatment of mild heart failure. BP Essentials is formulated with 180mg of standardized hawthorn per dose. Kyolic 106 Heart Health is formulated with 50mg of hawthorn berry.
Cayenne Cayenne increases circulation, both centrally and in the extremities. It does this by activating type "C' neurons. These neurons increase the contractility of the heart and dilate vessels. Cayenne's circulatory effects are helpful for diabetic circulatory compromise, Meniere's disease, heart disease and low blood pressure.There is 20mg of cayenne in Kyolic 106 Heart Health Formula.
Vitamin E Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant vitamin. It is well known for the prevention of cardiovascular disease because it decreases platelet aggregation, thus allowing the blood to flow more freely and bring oxygen to the tissues more easily. As an antioxidant it protects the cell from damage and prevents the oxidation of other fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients. It does this by neutralizing free radicals. They are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. Free radicals contribute to cardiovascular disease by producing oxidized LDL cholesterol, which causes atherosclerotic plaques. Kyolic 106 Heart Health Formula contains 100iu of natural source Vitamin E.
Why Kyolic?
Organic Garlic Only the finest quality of raw garlic is used to prepare Kyolic. The quality of the garlic, organically grown on Kyolic's own farm in Japan, and California, is examined to ensure that it meets stringent specifications, including total sulfur, thioallyl compounds, protein, and saccharide content. The natural aging process of Kyolic increases the effectiveness of garlic and eliminates its side effects, distinguishing Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract from all other garlic products. The Kyolic manufacturing process is controlled by international standards of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), established by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Kyolic Quality Control Kyolic is subjected to more than 250 quality control tests assuring customers of its safety and effectiveness.
Clinical Research. The cholesterol-lowering effects of Kyolic were confirmed by two recent, well-designed, double-blind clinical studies. One reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,found a 7% reduction in cholesterol and 6% reduction in blood pressure following six months intake of Kyolic. It reported a 7% reduction in total cholesterol and a 10% reduction in LDL cholesterol following five months intake. It also reported that Kyolic improved platelet function in patients with high cholesterol levels by decreasing adhesion to fibrinogen (a blood thinning effect). Platelet adhesion is strongly related to the development of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
Other work at The University of Queensland found that Kyolic significantly reduced the development of fatty streak atherosclerotic lesions, cholesterol accumulation and smooth muscle cell division which contribute to the development of heart disease.
Odor-controlled & easy on the stomach. Kyolic has been found to be more gentle on the stomach and intestine than other forms of garlic. Consumption of raw garlic can be very harsh and irritating to the stomach and intestinal tract. Stomach ulcers have resulted from the consumption of raw garlic juice which is high in allicin. Kyolic, on the other hand, has been found to be safe, gentle and non-irritating. The aging process of Kyolic also ensures a dramatically reduced after odor than other garlic supplements.
