7 natural ways to cure a urinary tract infection
According to a study in JAMA (the Journal of the American Medical Association), urinary tract infections (UTIs) account for more than 11 million physician visits annually. At best, UTIs cause discomfort and inconvenience; at worst they can lead to serious kidney infection. They occur more often in women, especially women who are sexually active and have lowered immunity from stress, recurrent vaginitis, or yeast infections.
Conventional treatment for a UTI involves antibiotics, but according to Andrew Rubman, ND, of the Southbury Clinic in Connecticut, antibiotics lead to a higher risk of becoming re-infected weeks later. Rubman doesn’t rule out antibiotics for severe, advanced UTIs, but he believes most UTIs can be caught in the early stages and treated much more safely and effectively with natural remedies.
Frederick Mindel, DC, CN, in New York City, says his UTI patients usually suffer from a variety of invading microbes, such as bacteria, viruses, yeast, molds, fungus, or parasites. “This means you have to hit the infection from more than one direction and look at the bigger picture by treating the underlying immune dysfunction that makes the body vulnerable to these infections in the first place.”
Among holistic treatments for UTI, cranberry has received the most thorough scrutiny. From the first day you suspect a UTI, drink three 8-ounce glasses of unsweetened cranberry juice daily, along with plenty of water to increase urine flow.
You can also take cranberry pills. Make sure your supplement contains whole cranberry extract and is free of fillers. Take as directed, or one to four 400 mg pills a day, depending on the severity of your symptoms, for two weeks.
Some studies, dating back to 2002, have shown that D-mannose, a naturally occurring simple sugar, in powdered form appears to offer relief from UTIs. Both cranberry pills and D-mannose are available in natural food stores.
Preventing a Relapse
If you’ve kicked one infection and want to stay UTI free, Rubman and Mindel recommend the following supplements:
Vitamin C: Acidifies urine and strengthens cell membranes against bacteria; 2,000 to 4,000 mg daily.
Selenium: Builds immunity and decreases inflammation; 1 to 2 mg per day.
Take action now to improve your health!
Zinc: Increases your resistance to bacteria and builds immunity; 20 mg per day.
Vitamin A: Promotes healthy tissue and reduces inflammation; 10,000 to 20,000 IU per day.
Vitamin E: Strengthens cells and neutralizes free radicals. For optimum effectiveness, choose d-tocopherol, the natural form, as opposed to the synthetic form, dl-tocopherol; 400 to 600 IU daily.
Omega-3 fatty acids: Reduce inflammation and increase immunity; 500 mg per day with EHA and DPA fish oils.
Evening primrose oil: Reduces inflammation and tones mucus membranes; 500 to 1,000 mg per day.
Water: Increases the flow of urine to keep the system flushed; 1.5 to 2 liters a day, or enough so urine is consistently pale yellow and odor-free.
Mindel also suggests eliminating sugars from the diet (they feed the bacteria) and avoiding alcohol and caffeine (both can be dehydrating and irritate to the urinary tract). Eat dark green vegetables, asparagus, and red and blue fruits such as plums, blueberries, and raspberries, but avoid citrus fruits while fighting a UTI, as these actually lower urinary acidity and weaken the beneficial action of vitamin C and cranberry juice.

Seven Ways to Improve Eye Health
Apparently, our eyes do not just serve to help us discover the outside world, but they are also able to tell a lot about what is going on inside our body.
These are 8 ways in which our eyes reveal something related to our health:
Sudden Double Vision, Dim Vision, or Loss of Vision
These are the most common visual warning signs of stroke.
Blurred Vision in diabetics
People suffering from diabetes are at an increased risk of eye issues, especially diabetic retinopathy, a condition which is the leading cause of blindness in the U.S., and in this case, the disease impacts the circulatory system of the eye.
A Stye That Won’t Go Away
If the stye remains for more than 3 months or keeps recurring in the same place, it might be a sign of a rare type of cancer known as sebaceous gland carcinoma.
Burning Eyes, Blurry Vision While Using A Computer
The increased use of computers and video display terminals (VDTs) has caused numerous vision issues due to eye strain. This is caused by the “computer vision syndrome” (CVS) when the eye strain is a result of the lack of contrast on the computer screen, and the efforts to focus on pixels.
Yellowish Whites of The Eye
This is a sign of jaundice, which mostly occurs in newborns with immature liver function, or adults with liver, gallbladder, or bile ducts issues.
Do you know the #1 risk factor for developing a chronic illness?
Eyes That Seem to Bulge
Protruding eyes are a symptom of hyperthyroidism
A Small Blind Spot in the Vision, With Shimmering Lights or A Wavy Line
Such a disturbed vision is caused by a migraine and might be accompanied by a headache.
Disappearing Eyebrows
A common sign of hypothyroidism is the disappearing of the outer third of your eyebrow.
You are at an increased risk of vision problems if you are a diabetic if you smoke, if you are obese, or if you spend a lot of time in front of the screen of the PC or your mobile phone. Yet, although modern lifestyles lead to vision damage, poor vision is not inevitable.
There are certain correlations between the eyes and our overall health by hinting at potential underlying health issues.
The study of the iris of the eye, known as iridology, or iridodiagnosis, dates from the mid-17th Century, but it has yet to be recognized by mainstream medicine.
This technique is based on the belief that many different properties in certain zones of the iris reveal information about the systemic health. An iridologist carefully exams the iris, matches it to iris charts, identifies the symptoms, and discovers if (or which) body organs are inflamed or over- or underactive.
Moreover, here we suggest several natural strategies which will effectively support eye health:
- Normalize blood sugar. Excessive blood sugar levels pull fluid from the lens of the eye, and thus damages the blood vessels in the retina, the ability to focus, and reduces blood flow.
- Support cardiovascular system. The blood vessels in the retina are also affected by high blood pressure, and this also reduces free blood flow. Therefore, avoid fructose to lower the risk of heart diseases.
- Increase the intake of healthy omega-3 fat. According to the findings of a study published in the August 2001 issue of Archives of Ophthalmology, the consumption of omega-3 fatty acids supports eye health.
- Increase the intake of fresh dark green leafy vegetables, especially kale. These veggies improve eye health, as they are high in carotenoids, especially lutein and zeaxanthin.
- Avoid trans fats. Trans fats are found in processed and baked foods, like fried foods, margarine, shortening, cookies, pastries, crackers, and doughnuts, and they lead to macular degeneration by interfering with omega-3 fats in the body.
- Avoid aspartame. Vision issues are one of the acute signs of aspartame poisoning.
- Quit smoking. Smoking supports the production of free radicals in the body and raises the risk of eye issues.
Apparently, antioxidants are your most powerful weapon against vision damage, as they neutralize the harmful free radicals in the body. These are the most beneficial antioxidants for eye health, Zeaxanthin, lutein, astaxanthin, and black currant anthocyanins.
Lutein and zeaxanthin, are found in high concentrations in the macula lutea, which is the central retina part, responsible for details and straight-ahead vision, and their most important roles are the following:
- They quench free radicals before they cause damage to the lipid membranes
- They absorb excess photon energy
Lutein supports the central vision and is found in the macular pigment. It is actually a naturally occurring carotenoid, found in yellow and orange veggies and fruits, and green leafy vegetables.
However, researchers have recently found that the ultimate carotenoid for eye health is actually astaxanthin, which is a potent antioxidant and effectively prevents blindness and eye issues, such as:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Diabetic retinopathy
- Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)
- Inflammatory eye diseases (i.e., retinitis, iritis, keratitis, and scleritis)
- Retinal arterial occlusion
- Cystoid macular edema
- Venous occlusion
It also maintains healthy eye pressure levels. Since it treats cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and a macular degeneration, which are the leading causes of blindness in the U.S. it is the most powerful antioxidant to prevent it, as well as other eye issues.
Krill oil is a rich source of astaxanthin and omega-3 fat, but you can also take astaxanthin supplements. T would be best to start with 2-4 mg daily.
Nowadays, we are exposed to higher oxidation levels and various contaminants, as well as more intense sunlight due to the ozone layer, and all this exposes our eyes to free radical damage. Additionally, the body loses its ability to produce many antioxidants over the years, and it cannot fight the damage caused by these contaminants, pollutants, chemicals, medicines, and daily stress.
If you support your eye health, you will lower the risk of macular degeneration and other diseases, and you will help antioxidants to reach the inner eye and prevent free radical damage.

Common Causes for Magnesium Deficiency
Magnesium is the fourth most abundant mineral in your body. More than 3,750 magnesium-binding sites have been detected on human proteins,1 and it’s required for more than 300 different enzymes in your body.
In short, magnesium plays an important role in a wide variety of biochemical processes, including the following:
| Creation of ATP2,3 (adenosine triphospate), the energy molecules of your body | Action of your heart muscle | Proper formation of bones and teeth |
| Relaxation of blood vessels | Regulation of blood sugar levels | Activating muscles and nerves |
| Helping digest proteins, carbohydrates, and fats | Serving as a cofactor for RNA and DNA | It’s also a catalyst for neurotransmitters like serotonin |
As is the case with vitamin D, if you don’t have enough magnesium, your body simply cannot function optimally, and insufficient cellular magnesium levels set the stage for deterioration of metabolic function that can snowball into more serious health problems.
For starters, magnesium is critical for the optimization of your mitochondria, which have enormous potential to influence your health, especially the prevention of cancer.
In fact, optimizing mitochondrial metabolism may be at the core of effective cancer treatment. But your mitochondrial function is also crucial for overall good health, energy, and athletic performance.
Optimizing Mitochondrial Function with Magnesium
Mitochondria are tiny organelles, originally thought to be derived from bacteria. Most cells have anywhere from 1 to 2,000 of them. Your organs need energy to function properly, and that energy is produced by the mitochondria in each cell.
Since mitochondrial function is at the very heart of everything that occurs in your body, optimizing mitochondrial function (and preventing mitochondrial dysfunction) by making sure you get all the right nutrients and precursors your mitochondria need is extremely important for health and disease prevention.
As explained by Rhonda Patrick, Ph.D., in the video above, magnesium plays an important role. Patrick has done extensive research on the link between mitochondrial metabolism, apoptosis and cancer, and on the effects of hyperthermic conditioning on muscle growth.
High-intensity interval training helps optimize athletic performance by increasing your oxidative capacity, meaning the ability of your muscle cells to consume oxygen. Your oxidative capacity relies on your mitochondria’s ability to produce ATP by consuming that oxygen inside the cell.
As noted by Patrick, “You want your ATP production to exceed your ATP consumption, in order to enhance or maximize your performance and avoid muscle fatigue.”
You can increase your oxidative capacity in two ways:
- Increasing the total number of mitochondria in your cells by engaging in high intensity interval exercises. However, in order for new mitochondria to be created, you must have sufficient amounts of magnesium.
- Increasing the efficiency of your mitochondria to repair damage and produce ATP. This process also requires magnesium as a co-factor.
Common Causes for Magnesium Deficiency
A century ago, we were getting an estimated 500 milligrams (mg) of magnesium from the food we ate, courtesy of the nutrient-rich soil in which it was grown. Today, estimates suggest we’re only getting 150 to 300 mg a day from our food supply.
As noted by Patrick, eating a diet rich in calories and poor in micronutrients (read processed foods) is a primary risk factor for magnesium deficiency, for the simple reason that magnesium resides at the center of the chlorophyll molecule.
LEARN MORE ABOUT THE BEST SOURCE OF MAGNESIUM
Chlorophyll, as you may know, is what gives plants their green color. Most Americans eat far too few fruits and vegetables, which may explain why more than half of the American public is deficient in magnesium.
In addition to not getting sufficient amounts from your diet, magnesium is also lost through stress, lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, and prescription drug use (especially diuretics, statins, fluoride and fluoride-containing drugs such as fluoroquinolone antibiotics).
Magnesium levels can also decline in the presence of certain hormones, such as estrogen. If you have elevated insulin levels — which an estimated 80 percent of Americans do — you’re quite likely to have low magnesium levels.4
Increasing your magnesium intake may actually go a long way toward improving your condition, or warding off insulin resistance and diabetes in the first place. In one study,5 prediabetics with the highest magnesium intake reduced their risk for blood sugar and metabolic problems by 71 percent.
A second study6 also found that higher magnesium intake reduces the risk of impaired glucose and insulin metabolism and slows progression from pre-diabetes to diabetes.
According to the authors, “Magnesium intake may be particularly beneficial in offsetting your risk of developing diabetes, if you are high risk.” The mechanism by which magnesium controls glucose and insulin homeostasis appears to involve two genes responsible for magnesium homeostasis.7
Magnesium is also required to activate tyrosine kinase, an enzyme that functions as an “on” or “off” switch in many cellular functions and is required for the proper function of your insulin receptors.
Last but not least, digestive problems such as Crohn’s disease and leaky gut impair your body’s ability to absorb magnesium, which is yet another cause of inadequate magnesium levels.
As noted by Dr. Dean, it’s quite possible that magnesium insufficiency is part of why health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure are so prevalent these days. It may also play a role in fibromyalgia,8 magnesium deficiency is a well-recognized factor in migraines.9
How to Identify Magnesium Deficiency
Unfortunately, there’s no lab test that will give you a truly accurate reading of your magnesium status. The reason for this is that only 1 percent of the magnesium in your body is found in your blood; 50 to 60 percent resides in your bones, and the remaining is in your soft tissues.
Since most of your magnesium is stored inside your cells and bone rather than in blood plasma, there are no satisfactory blood tests for assessing it. That said, some specialty labs do provide an RBC magnesium test which is reasonably accurate.
Other tests your doctor may use to evaluate your magnesium status include a 24-hour urine test or a sublingual epithelial test. Still, these can only give you an estimate of your levels, and doctors typically need to evaluate them in light of the symptoms you exhibit.
Early signs of magnesium deficiency may include headaches, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, or weakness. More chronic magnesium deficiency can lead to far more serious symptoms such as:
- Abnormal heart rhythms and coronary spasms
- Muscle cramps and contractions
- Seizures
- Numbness and tingling
- Personality changes
These signs and symptoms are by no means an exhaustive list. In her book, “The Magnesium Miracle,” Dr. Carolyn Dean lists no less than 100 factors that will help you decide whether or not you might be deficient.
You can also follow the instructions in her blog post, “Gauging Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms,”10 which will give you a check list to go through every few weeks. This will help you gauge how much magnesium you need to resolve your deficiency symptoms.
Your Best Source of Magnesium: REAL Food
You could theoretically keep your magnesium levels in the therapeutic range without resorting to supplements simply by eating a varied diet, including plenty of dark-green leafy vegetables. One way to really increase your magnesium, as well as many other important plant-based nutrients, is by juicing your greens.
That said, it’s important to remember that the magnesium content of your foods depends on the richness of magnesium in the soil in which the plant was grown.
Most soils have become severely depleted of nutrients, and for this reason, some magnesium experts, including Dr. Dean, believe that virtually everyone needs to take supplemental magnesium.
Organic foods may have more magnesium if grown in nutrient-rich soils, but it is very difficult to make that determination. If you eat organic whole foods and have no signs of deficiency, you’re probably doing quite alright.
But regardless of how seemingly healthy your diet is, if you have symptoms of magnesium deficiency, you’d be wise to add a supplement, which I’ll cover in the next section. Based on data collected by GreenMedInfo11 and The World’s Healthiest Foods,12 the following are among the richest food sources of magnesium:
| Dried seaweed, agar | Rice bran | Herbs and spices: basil, coriander, chives, cumin seed, parsley, mustard seeds, and fennel |
| Nuts: Brazil nuts, cashews, and almond butter | Seeds: pumpkin seeds, flaxseed, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds | Unsweetened cocoa powder |
| Whey, sweet or dried | Leafy greens: spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens, beet greens, collard greens, broccoli, Brussel sprouts, and romaine lettuce | Quinoa, buckwheat, brown rice, millet, oats, rye, and wheat |
| Beans: black beans, navy beans, pinto beans, lima beans, and kidney beans | Squash: summer and winter squash | Fruits and berries: papaya, raspberries, tomato, cantaloupe, strawberries, and watermelon |
Suggested Dosages and Other Recommendations When Taking Magnesium Supplements
The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for magnesium13 ranges from 310 to 420 mg per day, depending on your age and sex. However, as noted by Dr. Dean, some researchers believe we may need anywhere from 600 to 900 mg/day for optimal health.
There’s certainly many reasons for making sure you’re above the RDA, and fortunately, magnesium is quite safe so you don’t have to worry about taking too much. Dr. Dean suggests using your intestinal reaction as a marker for your ideal dose. She recommends starting out at 200 mg of oral magnesium citrate per day, and gradually increase your dose until you develop slightly loose stools.
This is your personal cutoff point, as when your body has too much magnesium it simply flushes it out the other end. Magnesium citrate is known for having a laxative effect, which is why it’s recommended in this case.
You may reach 600 mg/day before you notice a change in your bowel movements, or it may occur at a much lower dose — it depends on how much magnesium you’re getting from your diet. Keep in mind that it’s better to divide your dose and take it two or three times a day rather than taking one large dose.
Besides magnesium citrate, there are a variety of other magnesium supplements on the market. I personally prefer magnesium threonate, as it seems to penetrate cell membranes, including your mitochondria, which results in higher energy levels.
It also penetrates your blood-brain barrier and may help improve memory. The following table summarizes some of the differences between the various forms. Whichever supplement you choose, avoid those containing magnesium stearate, a common but potentially hazardous additive.
| Magnesium glycinate is a chelated form of magnesium that tends to provide the highest levels of absorption and bioavailability and is typically considered ideal for those who are trying to correct a deficiency | Magnesium oxide is a non-chelated type of magnesium, bound to an organic acid or a fatty acid. Contains 60 percent magnesium, and has stool softening properties |
| Magnesium chloride / Magnesium lactatecontains only 12 percent magnesium, but has better absorption than others, such as magnesium oxide, which contains five times more magnesium | Magnesium sulfate / Magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) are typically used as a laxative. Be aware that it’s easy to overdose on these, so ONLY take as directed |
| Magnesium carbonate, which has antacid properties, contains 45 percent magnesium | Magnesium taurate contains a combination of magnesium and taurine, an amino acid. Together, they tend to provide a calming effect on your body and mind |
| Magnesium citrate is magnesium with citric acid, which has laxative properties | Magnesium threonate is a newer, emerging type of magnesium supplement that appears promising, primarily due to its superior ability to penetrate the mitochondrial membrane, and may be the best magnesium supplement on the market |
Other Important Nutrients That Work in Tandem with Magnesium
One of the major benefits of getting your nutrients from a varied whole food diet is that you’re less likely to end up with unbalanced nutrient ratios. When it comes to magnesium, calcium, vitamin D, and K2 also come into play.
These four nutrients work together synergistically, with one supporting the other. All of them are needed in order for each individual nutrient to perform properly.
- An appropriate magnesium to calcium ratio is thought to be 1:1. Excessive amounts of calcium without the counterbalance of magnesium can lead to heart attacks, strokes, and sudden death. If you’re calcium deficient, your best bet is to increase consumption of foods high in calcium before opting for a supplement. This is because many high calcium foods also contain naturally high amounts of vitamin K2.
Nature cleverly gives us these two nutrients in combination, so they work optimally. Good sources of calcium include nuts, seeds, and dairy, especially cheeses and vegetables, although veggies aren’t high in K2. One exception is fermented vegetables where a starter culture specifically designed to produce ample amounts of K2 was used.
Homemade bone broth is another excellent source. Simply simmer leftover bones over low heat for an entire day to extract the calcium from the bones. You can use this broth for soups, stews, or drink it straight.
- For vitamin D, you want to be in the optimal range of 50 to 70 ng/ml. Sensible sun exposure is the ideal way to optimize your levels, but a tanning bed and/or vitamin D3 supplement (and to a lesser degree certain foods) can also be used during winter months when you’re unlikely to produce enough vitamin D from sun exposure.
- The optimal amounts of vitamin K2 are still under investigation, but it seems likely that 180 to 200 micrograms (mcg) of vitamin K2 might be enough to activate your body’s K2-dependent proteins to shuttle calcium to the proper areas.
Boost Magnesium to Optimize Your Health and Energy Levels
The evidence is clear: if you want to optimize your mitochondrial function, metabolism, and reduce your risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, one of the things you need to do is consume adequate magnesium.
Magnesium also plays a role in your body’s detoxification processes and therefore is important for helping to prevent damage from environmental chemicals, heavy metals, and other toxins.
Even glutathione, your body’s most powerful antioxidant that has even been called “the master antioxidant,” requires magnesium for its synthesis. Your need for magnesium can be magnified by factors such as age, stress, lack of sleep, alcohol consumption, insulin resistance and diabetes, prescription drug use, an unbalanced gut microbiome, poor kidney function, and more.
Among the most common symptoms that your body is lacking in magnesium are “Charlie horses” (the muscle spasm that occurs when you stretch your legs), muscle or coronary spasms, fatigue, nausea, and headaches or migraines.
These are all warning signs indicating you probably need to boost your magnesium intake, either through your diet or through a magnesium supplement. For more details, please see Dr. Dean’s blog post, “Gauging Magnesium Deficiency Symptoms.”14
While it’s best to get your magnesium from your diet, most foods are deficient in magnesium and other minerals due to being grown in mineral-depleted soils. Fertilizers like glyphosate also act as chelators, effectively blocking the uptake and utilization of minerals.
As a result, I believe it would be prudent for most people to consider a magnesium supplement. This is my personal strategy even though I have access to organic foods.
Another way to improve your magnesium status is to take regular Epsom salt baths or foot baths. Epsom salt is a magnesium sulfate that can absorb into your body through your skin. Magnesium oil can also be used for topical application and absorption.

PRACTICAL CHANGES YOU CAN IMPLEMENT TO PREVENT A HEART ATTACK
The Route to Long-Term Cardiovascular Health PRACTICAL CHANGES YOU CAN IMPLEMENT NOW
Even if heart disease runs in your family, you can protect yourself against heart disease and beat the odds if you start now. Though cardiovascular disease remains the number-one killer in the United States, there numerous ways to reduce the risk factors for heart attacks and strokes.
LIFESTYLE MATTERS
Lifestyle is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease. Many Americans neglect exercise, skimp on sleep, and consume excessive amounts of processed food, sugar, salt, and hydrogenated fat. Many more smoke daily and drink too much alcohol.
Stress, inactivity, and poor food choices generate chronic inflammation, which is the real killer. Large-scale studies have demonstrated that blood tests for inflammatory compounds such as CRP, homocysteine, and galectin-3 (the worst of the bunch), offer a clearer picture of a person’s cardiovascular risks than testing for LDL cholesterol.
Excess stress produces inflammatory hormones and other compounds that can turn normal cholesterol into oxidized cholesterol, a key factor in the formation of arterial plaque. Chronic inflammation also leads to fibrosis, uncontrolled scar tissue buildup which hardens arteries and permanently damages organs and tissues, especially the heart.
These risk factors also contribute to hypertension (high blood pressure), which increases the chances of heart attack, stroke, kidney disease, and other problems. Controlling hypertension—preferably without medication—should be a top priority for protecting long-term heart health.
FIGHTING HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Blood flows through veins and arteries much the same way that water flows through a garden hose. Just as too much pressure can damage a hose, hypertension can take a lasting toll on blood vessels and the organs they’re connected to.
For most people, healthy blood pressure should be less than 120/80. The first number (120) is the pressure when the heart is actively beating; the second (80), is the pressure when the heart is at rest. If these numbers go much higher and stay elevated over time, we dramatically increase our chances of cardiovascular disease.
Do you know the #1 risk factor for developing a chronic illness?
Of all the risk factors for heart disease, high blood pressure may be the trickiest to control. While dietary changes can have a significant and lasting effect on inflammation, circulation, and cholesterol, reducing blood pressure often requires a more holistic effort. That’s because hypertension has a variety of origins, including family history, weight, inactivity, smoking, diet, and stress, among others. To bring blood pressure down, we have to make a number of changes.
REWIRING OUR CIRCUITRY
If losing weight were simple to do in our culture, most people would be thin. Still, we do recognize what it takes to drop pounds. We have to eat less (particularly less sugars and simple carbohydrates) and increase activity. It sounds easy in theory but it’s the practical applications that trip us up.
Above all, we need to exercise our persistence, willpower, and patience. We want to rewire the brain to accept long-term health rewards and reject the temptation of instant gratification. An excellent way to do this, which is also proven to support cardiovascular health, is with meditation.
Healthy lifestyle changes are usually best sustained step-by-step. If we try making dramatic, sweeping health changes all at once, we typically fail. Drastic measures like crash diets don’t encourage permanent, realistic dietary changes—they are simply food vacations. Soon enough life reverts to normal and cravings return with a vengeance.
Rather than making intense and sudden changes, it’s best to work out smaller adjustments over a longer period of time that can be incorporated into daily practice. Soon these small habits will add up to a healthy lifestyle that we can sustain long term.
FOOD SMARTS: THE TRUTH ABOUT ANTIOXIDANTS AND FATS
Let’s start with the basics. We want to decrease our reliance on processed food, white flour-based products, sugar, salt, and partially hydrogenated fats like margarine, vegetable shortening, and so on. We want to increase lean protein and emphasize colorful fruits and vegetables. We also need good sources of healthy fats. Fats in general are not the enemy—it just depends on which kind. Good fats reduce inflammation, support better circulation, and help control weight among many other benefits. Hydrogenated trans fats, on the other hand, damage cells and contribute to inflammation and arterial plaque.
There is debate now over whether supplementing with essential omega-3 oils improves cardiovascular health. Though we have long believed that omega-3s are critical for a healthy heart, a large study in 2012 found no link between omega-3 supplements and improved cardiovascular outcomes. These findings are controversial and more research is needed.
Part of the problem may be with the purity and stability of omega-3 supplements. Quality varies significantly between suppliers. I still believe that omega-3s are beneficial, particularly for those with higher risk of cardiovascular disease, so I encourage my patients to eat fatty fish like wild salmon or sardines packed in olive oil. I also encourage them to eat chia, hemp, and flax seeds, as well as walnuts and walnut oil. These foods are excellent omega-3 sources, and provide much broader support than isolated supplements.
A similar debate is taking place over antioxidants. Because oxidation is believed to be a key mechanism in arterial plaque accumulation, it makes sense that antioxidants could help with heart health. However, a number of studies have suggested that supplementing with isolated antioxidant vitamins—such as A, C, and E—offers no cardiovascular protection. On the other hand, foods high in antioxidants such as brightly colored fruits and vegetables (particularly berries and dark greens) are found to support cardiovascular health.
Many brightly colored fruits and vegetables are high in flavonoids, phytonutrient compounds long prized for their antioxidant abilities. However, recent research has revealed that the true mechanisms of flavonoids’ health benefits don’t come from their antioxidant actions. Rather, it appears that flavonoids exert their benefits by positively altering gene expression and influencing cellular communication pathways that protect against cardiovascular and other diseases.
The take home? As with omega-3 fatty acids, the key to effective protection appears to be choosing the right whole food and botanical ingredients rather than synthetic single nutrients and low-quality supplements.
HERBAL SUPPORT
There are many other natural food-based supplements as well as botanicals that are found to support cardiovascular health:
NATTO is a fermented soybean food popular in Japan. It contains the enzyme nattokinase, which has been shown to reduce clotting and blood viscosity as well as benefiting blood pressure.
CHINESE SALVIA supports blood flow and has been shown to relax blood vessel walls.
HAWTHORN BERRY promotes healthy blood pressure and circulation and reduces cholesterol levels.
CORDYCEPS and other medicinal mushrooms have been shown to improve blood pressure and circulation. Mushrooms are also rich sources of unique therapeutic compounds to support other areas of health including immunity and detoxification.
MODIFIED CITRUS PECTIN, a specialized preparation from citrus peels, controls the inflammatory protein galectin-3 to halt the process of fibrosis in cardiovascular and other diseases.
I also recommend a Tibetan herbal formula with 19 botanicals including Irish moss, neem fruit, and red saunders heartwood. This formula has demonstrated its heart health benefits in dozens of clinical trials spanning over 50 years. A 2006 review showed that the formula improved circulation for peripheral artery disease (PAD) patients, increasing their mobility and reducing pain. Another study conducted in PAD patients showed that the formula lowered blood pressure.
MIND-BODY-HEART: THE BENEFITS OF MEDITATION
One of the reasons blood pressure can be difficult to control is its relationship with our thoughts and emotions. That’s why reducing stress is a proven way to control heart disease.
One of the best ways to work with this mind/body connection is meditation practice. Simply taking a few minutes each day to reflect, focus on deep breathing, and calm the mind can have a remarkable impact on cardiovascular health.
There are many studies confirming meditation’s heart benefits. One study found that people who practiced regular meditation lowered their blood pressure and pulse rates. Another found that students who meditated reduced left ventricle thickness, a key factor in high blood pressure.
Meditation practices are also found to support immune health, reduce inflammation and pain, and boost cognition and mood. Indeed, daily meditation may be the best medicine.
THE PATIENT APPROACH
We know heart disease is a killer, and we know there are many ways to reduce our risks. The trick is to act on our desire for good health and make those necessary changes. While the benefits may be obvious, the transition to a healthy lifestyle can often be difficult.
The key is having a plan and starting slowly. We don’t need to become vegetarians or start training for a marathon on day one. Rather, we change a few items in our diet and slowly increase physical activity. Gradually, we add in meditation, five minutes a day, then 10. Later we incorporate botanical supplements that support the body’s natural balance. By gently weaving in the right dietary and lifestyle changes, we actually begin to crave these healthy habits, deepening our commitment to lifelong cardiovascular health. The difference will be hearty: Greater energy, stronger immunity, better mood, healthier weight, and numerous benefits across all areas of health.
