There is a Lot You Can Do to Lower Chances of Having a Stroke

This is true even if you have had a stroke or TIA (mini-stroke). Simple lifestyle changes can prevent another one. Those lifestyle changes include:

• controlling your weight, losing as little as 5% to 10% of your starting weight can lower your blood pressure and other stroke risk factors. You will need to keep the weight off that you lose.
• Exercise: This is one way to help you burn calories and lose the weight you need to lose.
• Move more in general: walk instead of driving when you can, park farther away from retail destinations to make you take more steps to the door, pace while on the phone instead of sitting, take the stairs instead of the elevator.
• Skip sipped calories: These would be in sodas, lattes, sports drinks, energy drinks, and even fruit juices 
• Eat more whole foods: This would be fruits, vegetables and whole grains that are full of vitamins, minerals, and fiber plus tend to be lower in salt which is better for the blood pressure too. These foods fill you up and take a long time to digest
• Fine healthier ways to snack: You don't have to skip snacks if you snack wisely.

Another way to help yourself get more nutrition and less sugar in your drinks is to drink one 8 ounce serving of Life's Abundance Minerals and Antioxidant drink mix as a healthy alternative to sugary sports drinks and energy drinks, even as an alternative to soda pops.

Minerals and Antioxidants

The Life's Abundance Minerals and Antioxidant drink mix is:

• Non GMO
• Gluten free
• Vegan
• Soy free
• Dairy free
• Naturally flavored
• No added sugar
• No artificial flavors
• No artificial colors
• No artificial preservatives

Americans are deficient in minerals. In fact, way back in 1936, the Department of Agriculture told congress that 99% of the population was deficient. Regrettably, there are many more recent studies confirming varying amounts of mineral deficiencies in our diet, mainly due to their depletion in our soil.
We need minerals! Vitamins cannot work properly without them and they are absolutely vital to maintain our mental and physical well being. Since the body cannot manufacture minerals, they must come from our diet.

Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants drink mix is a delicious way to supplement your diet.
This unique mix is made with a variety of freshly harvested sea vegetables and contains approximately 74-plant based, naturally chelated, trace minerals. For an additional nutritional boost, it also contains antioxidants from 11 nutrient-rich super fruits like acai, cranberry, goji, maqui and pomegranate ... making this a high ORAC beverage blend. ORAC stands for oxygen radical absorbance capacity and it's a way of measuring the antioxidant level, which is important because antioxidants are essential to good health.

Unlike many liquid water enhancers made from chemicals, our formula is made with coconut water and aloe vera and it does not contain any added sugar, artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The organic coconut water replaces electrolytes plus it is alkalizing, which helps to restore a natural pH balance in the body and counters the effects of an acidic diet.

Instead of giving you a sugar crash like most other “health” drinks, our Minerals & Antioxidants mix gives you sustained energy.

Give hydration a boost with Life’s Abundance Minerals & Antioxidants. In two delicious flavors, Cherry and Tropical Fruit, pour into a water bottle for a convenient, go-anywhere nutritious drink. Take it to the gym or give a bottle to the kids … it’s delicious, refreshing and nourishing!

Five Signs of Early Heart Failure: Open Yourself Up to a Whole New Way of Embracing Health

Everybody slows down in the sixth and seventh decades of their life. You might have one time been able to climb a flight of stairs and even take two at a time. This activity often slows down in the sixth and seventh decade.

While in early times of my life going up and down stairs was as easy as walking a straight line. Now in my 60's I have to "think" about each step down or up I am taking and it takes longer for me to climb up and down stairs.

It is a sad fact of life that happens to most of us. The body outside and inside declines more rapidly in these time periods. Time does not stop for anyone. Each day brings us closer to the next year's age and on and on until we no longer even exist among the living.

My aunt died of congestive heart failure. She had demenia and pneumonia, but final cause of death was congestive heart failure. Our heart just simply wears out over time until it stops completely. 

What can cause early heart failure?

• something damages the heart muscle
• something reduces the heart's ability to pump effectively
• the damage to heart muscles and/or to pump effectively is often related to high blood pressure or a genetic disease

Whatever the cause, the failing heart can no longer pump well enough to keep up with the body's demand for oxygen-rich blood.

How can you and doctors quickly spot a possible combination of heart failure symptoms? The Heart Failure Society of America developed a tool that goes with the acronym FACES that goes like this:

• Fatigue: A general feeling of tiredness or fatigue sets in
• Activity limitations: You become unable to do your normal activities, you become easily tired and short of breath
• Congestion: Fluid buildup in the lungs results in coughing, wheezing and breathing difficulty
• Edema or ankle swelling: Fluid collects in the ankles, legs, thighs and abdomen. Excess fluid can also cause rapid weight gain
• Shortness of breath: It may be harder to breathe when lying down and other times

Any of these symptoms alone do not confirm heart failure, but if you experience any of them, it does warrant an urgency to seek medical advice for further testing perhaps.

If you are diagnosed with heart disease you should avoid the following drugs:

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Advil, Ibuprofen or Motrin
• Heartburn medication and cold remedies
• Remedies containing ephedra, St. John's wort, ginseng, hawthorn, black cohosh and green tea
