Newsletter >May 2009 Premier Issue

Greetings!

Welcome to the premier issue of the Cardio Renew Newsletter and thank you for your subscription! We intend to use this newsletter to keep you apprised of health related news and issues, along with some tips and suggestions that are intended to complement and enhance your Cardio Renew program. Our goal is to provide you with useful information that is sent on a monthly basis and is presented as a quick and concise read.

You will find links contained in the left panel of the newsletter that will take you to additional resources on our website. However, our primary objective is not to use this venue for sales promotions. We pride ourselves on offering you the lowest price on all of our products, year round, by keeping our overhead and operating costs at a minimum, which eliminates a need for sales gimmicks. Being a small, family owned and operated business, not a multi-level corporation, we recognize the special relationship we have with you, our loyal customers, who have discovered our products and the health benefits they deliver. We appreciate your business and we hope this newsletter is another way of saying, "Thank you."

With that introduction, we hope you find this month's "Feature Health Topic" worthwhile and informative, as well as our future issues.

Wishing You Good Health and Vitality,

P.S. As always, we value your feedback, so please feel free to send any questions or comments to: newsletter@cardiorenew.com

Heart Health and EDTA Chelation

Cardiovascular Disease, or CVD for short, includes Coronary Heart Disease or diseases of the arteries (Arteriosclerosis, including hardening of the arteries, or Atherosclerosis), Heart Attack (Myocardial Infarction), Arrhythmias, Congestive Heart Disease, Stroke, High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), Rheumatic Heart Disease and other dysfunctions of the cardiovascular system.

Unfortunately, the symptoms of heart disease aren't always readily apparent physical signs that give direct warning. Heart attacks often take people by surprise. A heart attack occurs when blood flow in a coronary artery is inhibited or stopped completely. This can cause irreparable damage to the heart, and medical assistance is needed immediately after symptoms begin, to minimize the damage.

There are indicators that can help you determine the risk of developing heart disease. Individuals who have a history of heart disease in their family should be concerned about heart disease themselves. Race plays a factor in heart disease, as does gender.

There is no cure for heart disease, but there are many things that you can do to reduce the risk of a heart attack or cardiac arrest, starting with a healthy diet and exercise. Dietary recommendations include eating five or more servings of fruit and vegetables a day, consuming six or more servings of whole grains a day, eating fish at least twice a week and lowering your sodium intake.

Getting just a little bit more exercise than normal can greatly improve your heart health, as well. You don't have to make drastic changes--small steps can make a big difference. For instance, using a push lawnmower instead of a riding lawnmower, and raking instead of using a blower, are great ways to get a little exercise. Take a short walk before breakfast or after dinner. Start by walking ten minutes and gradually walk a little longer every day.

Remember, a little effort can go a long way; simply adopting a healthy diet and adding a little exercise to your daily routine can greatly improve your heart's health.

Chelation Therapy for Heart Health

Chelation therapy can be the next step in heart health for those suffering from or wanting to avoid heart disease. Chelation therapy is the removal of toxic heavy metals and mineral deposits in the body. Chelators are traditionally given to people who have some sort of heavy metal poisoning, although more and more doctors today are turning to chelation therapy to help heart patients stay healthy. Chelators can be used to reverse the effects of arterial blockage caused by plaque in the time before surgery, after surgery, or in between surgeries.

The chelator used for heart health is ethylene diamine tetra-acetate acid, or EDTA. EDTA comes in many forms such as IV drip, suppository, pill or liquid. Since EDTA is used to remove excessive, unbound minerals in the body, it can remove calcium from the plaque in the arteries, aiding in the reversal of the effects of blockage, which inhibits the flow of blood from the heart to the organs and muscles.

We at Cardio Renew firmly believe that our liquid oral chelation therapy is the best overall form of delivering EDTA into your system, in terms of cost, time required to administer the therapy and then for it to take effect, the amount of EDTA delivered per dose and absorbed by your system.

Top 10 Most Nutritious Vegetables

Green Leafy Vegetables, such as kale, chard, collard greens, spinach, parsley and dark green and red leaf lettuce are generally high in carotenoids and a great source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, iron, potassium, and calcium. Best eaten raw in salads, on healthy sandwiches, lightly steamed or in nutritious soups.
Broccoli contains antioxidant vitamins beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, iron and potassium. Broccoli is considered to be one of the best sources of glucosinolates, which are proven to reduce cancer, especially lung and colon cancer. It is good steamed, raw (as a snack or in salads) and cooked in soups, stir-fries and other dishes. Both the green flower heads and stalks are nutritious.
Brussels Sprouts are a very good source of vitamin A, vitamin C and folic acid. Also, this vegetable contains high amounts of fiber, potassium and folacin. Brussels sprouts are also high in protein, very uncommon for a green vegetable. Brussels sprouts are best quickly steamed to preserve nutritional values and avoid releasing sulfur smells caused by excess cooking.
Cauliflower, because of its bland flavor, can be eaten as a raw snack or added inconspicuously to dishes like soups and chili to boost nutritional values. It boasts similar nutritional qualities to broccoli listed above.
Red and Green Peppers are a great source of vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber. They taste great raw in salads and add intense flavor to cooked dishes
Garlic and Onions are most nutritious eaten raw in salads or healthy dips. But they also make great flavorings for just about any cooked dish.
Sweet Potatoes are loaded with potassium, vitamin C, beta-carotene, and fiber and are delicious when baked and eaten plain (without butter). They can also be used in soups and stir-fries.
Tomatoes (actually fruit) are good in salads and on sandwiches. Cherry tomatoes make great raw snacks. And pasta sauce is a good source of tomato nutrients like lycopene.
Green Peas are rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, magnese, dietary fiber, vitamin B1 and folate. They are best eaten raw (especially snow peas) or lightly steamed. Add fresh peas to salads (including chicken and pasta salad), soups and stir-fries.
Carrots are high in carotenoids, beta-carotene, and fiber. Carrots are delicious when grated into any kind of salad. Baby carrots also make good raw snacks.
