| The Basics of a Healthy Heart |
| The heart weighs between 200 to 450 grams
and is approximately the size of a closed fist. Each day, the
average heart beats 100,000 times, pumping about 8,000 liters
of blood. |
| The heart is located between the lungs in
the middle of the chest, behind the sternum. A double-layered
membrane called the pericardium surrounds it. |
| The heart and circulatory system make up
your cardiovascular system. The heart works as a pump which
pushes blood to the organs, tissues, and cells of the body.
Blood delivers oxygen and nutrients to every cell and then removes
the carbon dioxide and waste products produced by those cells.
Blood is carried from the heart to the rest of the body through
arteries, and then returned to your heart through veins. |
| The human heart is divided into 4 chambers.
The two top chambers are called atriums, and the two lower chambers
are called ventricles. The atriums collect the blood that enters
the heart and pushes it to the ventricles. In turn, the
ventricles push blood out of the heart and into the arteries
to go to the rest of the body. |
 |
| How the healthy heart works
|
| During the systole, the right ventricle
pushes deoxygenated blood through the pulmonic valve to the
lungs. In the lungs a transfer of gases occurs. The red
blood cells release carbon dioxide and pick up oxygen. The carbon
dioxide is then exhaled. |
| The reoxygenated blood returns to the left
atrium. From there it is then circulated to the body during
systole by the left ventricle, where it is available at all
times for use by the body. The used blood then returns to the
right atrium for a return trip through the lungs. |
| An electrical system stimulates the heart
muscle by initiating an electrical impulse, which is carried
to all parts of the heart muscle causing it to contract. Disruptions
in this cycle range from the simple annoying "skipped beats"
to arrhythmias that often accompany a heart attack. |
| Diseases of the Cardiovascular System
|
| About 20% of the population is at high risk
of coronary heart disease. These patients can be identified
by the major risk factors in their lives, including obesity,
cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and
diabetes. You can take active measures to promote a healthy
heart lifestyle and avoid being included in this group. Start
by learning about the risk factors for coronary heart disease
and which of them you can control. Modifying any of the risk
factors can be very beneficial in helping you maintain a healthy
heart. |
| What is Atherosclerosis? |
| Hardening of the arteries due to calcification
associated with cholesterol deposition in the wall of the arteries,
Atherosclerosis can occur not only in the heart but also throughout
the body. It may be localized at a restricted small segment
of the artery, or diffuse, marked by cholesterol buildup and
narrowing along the entire length of an artery. |
| What is Hypertension? |
| High blood pressure, a major risk factor
for heart disease. Blood pressure is measured in millimeters
of mercury (mmHg). The threshold for hypertension is variously
defined as 140 mmHg systolic and 90 mmHg diastolic to as high
as 200 mmHg systolic and 110 mmHg diastolic. In the Gould program,
the target blood pressure is 120/80 mmHg or below. |
| What is Coronary heart disease? |
| Cardiovascular diseases include stroke,
congestive heart failure, hypertension, and other diseases,
as well as coronary heart disease. In the U.S., the number of
deaths from coronary heart disease is nearly as high as the
number of deaths from all forms of cancer combined. |
| Växa Heart Formula |
| VÄXA Heart Formula
was designed to act on circular, muscular fibers like those
of the heart. This healthy heart formula helps to strengthen
a weak heart and regulates blood distribution, regulates and
reinforces the action of the heart, helps to strengthen cardiac
function, lower cholesterol levels, and regulates both high
and low blood pressure. In addition to nourishment for a healthy
heart, VÄXA Heart Formula is also beneficial for treating
fatigue and varicose veins. |
| Hawthorn berries are known
for their preventative properties, helping to reduce the risk
of cardiovascular disease. Hawthorn berries contain large amounts
of bioflavonoids, best known for their support of a healthy
heart. The bioflavonoid substances help dilate and strengthen
the walls of blood vessels, relax arteries, and improve circulation
of blood to heart muscles. |
| Hawthorn berries have been used since the
19th century to support the heart and normalize cardiovascular
functions. Today, hawthorn berries are one of the most popular
herbs used in Europe. Hawthorn berries appear to work best when
taken as a preventative herb, possibly helping reduce the risk
of cardiovascular disease. |
| Hawthorn berries help normalize the heart,
either by stimulating or depressing its activity. For this reason,
hawthorn berries are used to lower high blood pressure and high
cholesterol, as well as increase low blood pressure. Hawthorn
berries reduce water retention by expelling excess salt from
the body, further encouraging a healthy heart. |
| Hawthorn berries reduce water retention
expelling excess salt from the body. |
| Garlic is rich source of potassium,
zinc, selenium, vitamin A and Vitamin C. Garlic is commonly
used to fight infection, increase circulation and help prevent
cardiovascular disease. Garlic has been known to detoxify the
body, cleansing the kidneys and increasing urine flow. |
| Olive Leaf Extract
Olive trees have been cultivated for many years. Recently the
benefits of Olive Leaf Extract have become known as one of a
handful of botanicals that naturally support a healthy heart
as well as the circulatory and immune systems. |
| Mistletoe (Viscum Album):
used as a cardiac tonic and to stimulate circulation, reduce
blood pressure and Atherosclerosis, and strengthen capillary
walls. |
| Motherwort (Leonus
cardiaca): a healthy heart tonic that improves blood flow circulation
and reduces heart blood pressure and palpitations. Helpful in
all stress-related heart diseases. |
| Capsicum is best
known for being a catalyst for other herbs. Capsicum stimulates
circulation, enhances blood flow, and is considered to be food
for the circulatory system and a healthy heart. The warming
properties of capsicum are useful for people suffering from
poor circulation to the hands and feet and other related conditions.
As a cardiovascular stimulant, Capsicum assists in lowering
blood pressure and breaking down cholesterol buildup. |
| Shepherd's purse (Capsella
bursa pastoris) Different studies have shown both a lowering
and elevation of blood pressure. Used in cardiac insufficiency,
arrhythmia, Hypertension, Hypo tension, Nervous heart complaint.
|
| Wallflower (Cheiranthus cheiri)Used
for cardiac insufficiency. |
| Strophantus (Strophantus)
The active agent, Strophanthin is a heart glycoside that has
actions similar to digitalis but is milder. Strophantus is used
for arteriosclerosis, cardiac insufficiency, and hypertension.
|
| CoQ10, also referred to as
ubiquinone, exists everywhere in the body assisting with enzyme
functions on a cellular level. CoQ10 encourages energy production
helping enzymes release energy in every cell, which also may
reduce fat storage. CoQ10 is naturally found in foods like mackerel,
salmon, sardines, peanuts and spinach. It stimulates immune
system function, improves heart function, enhances the production
of cellular energy, and is a powerful antioxidant. It moves
energy throughout the body, increasing the efficiency of cellular
metabolism. |
| Calcium is a mineral
essential for healthy teeth, bones and muscles, strengthening
and supporting the structural, muscular and nervous systems.
Calcium not only benefits bone growth and teeth and muscle formation,
calcium helps safeguard against cardiovascular disease, bone
deterioration, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol levels,
making it essential for a healthy heart. In addition, calcium
is necessary for nerve transmission, muscle contraction and
bone density. |
| Magnesium is important for
numerous bodily functions and plays a vital role on a cellular
level. One of magnesium's prime functions is regulating the
flow of calcium within cells. |
| Potassium is a mineral
that helps the kidneys function normally. It also plays a key
role in cardiac, skeletal, and muscle contraction, making it
an important nutrient for healthy heart function. Recent studies
have suggested that potassium helps lower blood pressure, and
that it can help reduce the risk of death from an acute heart
attack. |
| Selenium a study in Clinical
Chemistry reported that patients with healthy hearts had higher
levels of selenium than patients with blocked arteries. other
studies have shown that persons with low-selenium diets have
two-to-three times greater risk of heart disease than those
eating selenium rich diets. |
