A Few Healthy Heart Tips

The temperature’s in the 70’s right now, which is right around what native Floridians call “cool weather″. Of course this would be a monstrous heat wave in Long Island, where I’ve spent most of my life.

A chef friend of mine once said to me, “If you want heat, work in a kitchen. If you really want heat, work in a really busy kitchen.”

I had the fun experience of walking by a broiler one day and I can assure you my friend wasn’t kidding. That broiler in particular ran at 850 degrees. Great for steak, not so much for people working within ten feet.

Moving along to medicine, here are your healthy heart tips for the day.

1. Heart attacks don’t just happen when you’re 65 or older - not that I’m considering that to be old, lately. In fact the demographic is getting younger and younger. Women aren’t safe either - breast cancer has now taken second place to heart disease for the most common cause of death.

2. Nutrition is very important. That whole “eat the rainbow″ thing is actually good advice. Vegetables and fruits come in lots of different colors. Brighter colors mean more anti-oxidants.

3. For men, varying degrees of impotence (or “E.D.” as they call it today) past age 35 are often a sign of artery blockages, and should be checked out immediately. And don’t just settle for an annual physical. See a cardiologist, and get your heart tested. The earlier you start making changes the better off you’re going to be.

One of the greatest things you can do for your heart is to start taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil. There are even some signs that doctors here and there are starting to get the message.

Doctors are now being advised by The National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence to give fish oil to patients that have had heart attacks.

I completely agree with that, but it’s useless for preventing cardiac events.

Enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil can be taken by almost anyone at any age, and the benefits are numerous. A story in this morning’s newspaper told the story of a professional baseball player who is returning to play much earlier than expected. The reason? Fish oil healed his aching joints much faster than he expected.

In the Institute study I mentioned earlier, omega-3 fatty acids cut the incidence of recurring sudden death by heart attack 45%.

Which is why I don’t wait to recommend fish oil. I always say, start now.

Using Portable Air Purifiers For The Car Or Boat

Having an air purifier in the home is a great way to keep the whole family safe from things such as harmful spores, mold, bacteria, or allergens such as pollen or dust. One can even have pets while being allergic to pet dander with the right purifier and control. Because of such benefits, portable air purifiers have been increasing in sales.

When we hear the term portable, it is automatically assumed that the model is going to be of less weight. This is true with portable air purifiers, which stick around to the 5-pound range in terms of weight. Portable air purifiers would also be thought of as having less power, but this isn′t true. Car chargers and outlet ports may be used to ensure that the air purifier can clean the air without delay due to power concerns.

Just like a regular home purifier, portable air purifiers conform to standards such as HEPA and even ultraviolet light sterilization. UV light sterilization in particular is excellent in disrupting the DNA of harmful microorganisms that pass through the device- making such purifiers effective in stopping disease before it has a chance to spread.

Buying an air purifier for the home means paying close attention to the maximum amount of space the purifier can clean without troubles. This holds true as well for the portable market, although it depends on the situation in which the purifier is going to be used. A smaller car will obviously need less power than what a large sports utility vehicle would.

Boats are considered part of the market that makes use of portable air purifiers too. But just like the vehicle air purifier, the size and power needed depends on the type of boat. Some larger boats may have better use for a regular home purifier. Whatever the case, be sure that the motions of the water don′t tilt or disrupt your air purifier. Latch the purifier down to prevent any accidents from happening in such an environment.

Converters may be obtained that are able to accept the outlet cable of a regular home purifier, and instead hook it up to a car. Exert caution, however, since the wattage rating is a very important specification to pay attention to. Some vehicles aren′t able to keep up with the high wattage demands of a purifier meant for home usage. In this case it is better to use portable models to prevent accidents.

In Conclusion

An air purifier for the car or boat is always a sound investment. In addition to the general upkeep of your portable model, also consider the filter upkeep that is necessary for the unit to do its job effectively. Consult the user manual for more information on when to change filters, and to get a general idea on what upkeep costs will be.

One of the healthiest drinks you should have at home is green tea. Although it may seem that all this hype about the benefits of green tea may seem to be just hype only, it is not because green tea is really healthy. There is a reason why this ancient Japanese tea has survived for centuries especially when it is one of the best kept health secrets of the Japanese. It seems that in recent times, research has shown that green tea is also good for weight loss, not only for health.

Green tea and weight loss are now synonymous. This miracle drink’s weight loss benefits have been touted so much as being effective and good.

That’s not all, a lot of weight loss programs and diet plans have also incorporated green tea as one of the major beverage in the programs. It is better for you to be drinking green tea for weight loss than merely guzzling down plain water.

Green tea has become so popular in recent times because of its wonderful nutrients consisting of anti-oxidants and fat fighting agents. One of the easier and better ways to lose weight is to drink green tea daily. For those who balk at drinking the plain green tea, day in day out, be assured that there are now plenty of different flavored green tea to try out. Here are some of the benefits of green tea and why you should add it to your daily diet:

1. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have concluded that green tea extract could improve your metabolic rate by 4%. This means green tea could increase your metabolism, all thanks to its catechin polyphenols.

2.Green tea blocks fat by regulating your blood glucose level. The same catechin also work to stop fat being absorbed by your body by slowing down the increase in blood sugar level after a meal, reduce insulin spikes and this work to reduce fat absorption.

3. Green tea is an appetite suppressant. Since it regulates your blood sugar level, thus it also control your sugar cravings and controls your appetite. When you have less sugar cravings, you will feel less inclined to binge on high fat and sugary food. Your appetite will also be lesser and you may even eat less during mealtimes which will reduce your calorie intake and thus, help you lose weight.
