Cardiovascular Health

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.

Being overweight is detrimental to cardiovascular health for several reasons. Excess weight increases the force of gravity on an individual. The heart must respond by working harder and increasing blood pressure. Excess food intake causes the body to increase the amount of cholesterol in the blood. Cholesterol shuttles fat around the body and is implicated in the formation of plaque in arterial walls.

Poor nutrition is detrimental to heart health because the heart muscle needs a constant supply of nutrients to keep pumping. The standard North American diet is deficient in vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids. It is high in saturated fat, refined carbohydrates and chemical additives and preservatives. These substances not only do not give your heart usable energy, but they also contain high amounts of vessel damaging materials like trans-fatty acids.

Energy

Picture your body as a machine. In order to get your body to work your body needs fuel or food. It then transports that fuel to each cell. Inside each cell are little engines called mitochondria. They take in the fuel and process it to release energy.

The energy is used to power all cell processes and is the ultimate source of your body's energy. Another body system that impacts on energy is the glandular system. Picture it as the fuel injector of your body. It regulates what fuel gets into the body, which cells get the fuel and in what amounts. The blood cells are also a critical component of the body's energy system. They carry oxygen, a catalyst for many cell activities, around the body.

Lack of energy can be attributed to many causes. All of these causes must negatively impact on our body's ability to get fuel into the body, inhibit the mitochondria's ability to turn it into energy or alter the functioning of the hormonal and blood system

Stevia

The stevia rebaudiana plant is native to South America, where it has been used as a sweetener for hundreds of years. The leaf of the plant contains stevosides, a glycoside that gives stevia its strong sweetness.

Stevia is safe to use in diabetes. A non-caloric sweetener, it does not cause elevations in blood sugar the same way table sugar and other natural sugars do. It is low on the glycemic index.
