Keeping your heart in tiptop shape doesn’t necessarily mean popping a cholesterol-lowering statin tablet each day. One strategy, like eating foods that have been proven to fight heart disease, is prescription-free and delicious, and can keep your heart healthy without risky side effects.

Chocolate. One study found that heart attack survivors who ate chocolate two or more times a week slashed their risk of dying from heart disease by threefold. German researchers found that eating only one square of dark chocolate a week lowered the risk of heart attack and stroke by 39 percent. Other studies have also found that chocolate lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. The high levels of antioxidants in chocolate seem to be the most likely candidates for chocolate’s heart-healthy benefits.

Alcohol. Evidence is mounting that moderate drinking helps reduce the risk of heart disease. (Moderate drinking is defined as three to seven drinks each week for women and three to 14 drinks weekly for men.) A recent study found that moderate drinking lowered the risk of cardiovascular death by 38 percent. Light drinkers (men or women who had three or fewer drinks a week) lowered their risk by 31 percent.

Fish. Fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel, contain omega-3 fatty acids, which studies have shown decrease the risk of abnormal heartbeats. They also lower blood pressure, decrease triglyceride levels, and slow the growth of atherosclerotic plaque. A recent study from the University of Athens in Greece found that eating fish once or twice a week helps preserve heart function in those patients who suffer from heart failure. The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fatty fish each week.

Tea. A British study found that drinking one cup of tea each day could cut the risk of heart attack almost in half. In addition, a Greek study found that green tea dilated arteries in the heart and allowed blood to flow more freely, which may help protect from blood clots. But skip the milk: A German study found that although tea without milk prevents cardiovascular disease, adding milk counteracts the heart-healthy benefits.

Nuts. Many studies have shown that nuts lower LDL (”bad”) cholesterol, reduce the risk of developing blood clots, and improve the lining of arteries. Almost every type of nut is healthy, says the Mayo Clinic, but walnuts have been studied many times and have been found to contain high amounts of omega-3 fatty acids. A daily handful of almonds, pecans, hazelnuts, or macadamia nuts are also healthy.

Cranberries. Researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania found that drinking three glasses of cranberry juice daily for a month significantly raised HDL (”good”) cholesterol by 10 percent and lowered the risk of heart disease by 40 percent. Cranberries may even help those with genes for high cholesterol. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine found that cranberry powder lowered the cholesterol levels of pigs born with a genetic predisposition for high cholesterol. Within six months, their cholesterol levels were less than other pigs born with the genetic defect but not given cranberry powder, as well as the levels of pigs born with normal cholesterol levels that weren’t given cranberry.

360 Products

At this current time the information about the products is fairly thin on the ground. I thought I would just share with you what I know about a few of them. The company name is not 360 but this will do for now.

ADAPTOGENS

The company that is being re launched came from a 10 year old company called Cyberwize with about $100 million of annual sales. See www.cyberwize.com. Their focus had been on adaptogens and they provide a unique combination of adaptogens in various delivery systems. These delivery systems include a juice, a purse size spray and a concentrate in drop form.

Just like antioxidants was relatively unknown in the early 90’s and is now widely accepted as important to our health, the story of adaptogens will have the same evolution and we are at the stage when most people do not know about them.

Adaptogens are produced in plants that grow in harsh conditions and these then manufacture chemicals to help the plant survive these harsh conditions. Some examples include Aloe Vera, Siberian Ginseng, Mexican Wild Yam, Australian Bush Plum, Goji Juice etc. When humans consume these plant extracts we obtain the benefits and our body uses these chemicals to help us adapt to various stresses.

Russian scientists initially found these plant chemicals and supplied them to cosmonauts, athletes and workers. The most obvious results were seen in the performance of Olympic athletes in the 1960’s. Chinese athletes and then athletes in the west found out about the “secret” and now nearly all athletes are aware of adaptogens and the benefits that they provide the body to recover from the stresses of extreme exercise and improve performance.

Stress on the body, whether it be from excessive exercise, emotional stress, financial stress or mental stress are all responded to in the same way by the body. Our health suffers if our stress levels are beyond our body’s ability to cope. Taking adaptogens helps our body to cope but we should also be aware that reducing stress is a goal we should all be attempting to achieve.

If you would like to find out more about the adaptogenic products we are likely to be having access to, take a look at www.tunguskablast.com . All Tunguska Mist products contain a proprietary adaptogen blend of up to 14 powerful botanicals. Of the 30 known adaptogens, this company uses 22 in its proprietary formulas.

The REALLY unique part of this is the story of the Tunguska Blast. In 1908 “something” exploded above the Tunguska River valley in the Siberian wilderness. As a result, the plant life was “altered” and regrew 3-4 times more vigorously. It took a while but scientists investigated this phenomenon and the result was the discovery of adaptogens. You can investigate more about the story by visiting www.googlevideo.com and searching for Tunguska. I found a 46 minute presentation at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2606492338396218330# that was very interesting.

POLYSACCHARIDES

One of their other products is called Vital PSP + (Poly Saccharide Plus). I have known about polysaccharides for about 12 years and have seen amazing health improvements when these components are added to the diet. It will be VERY interesting to see what kind of results we see with this product. Keep watching this space.

The following information was extracted from www.cyberwize.com  by clicking on Products then Vital PSP+

A Remarkable Whole Food Supplement!

Vital PSP+ is a synergy of all-natural native strains of rice processed into a complex formulation of carbohydrates, crude protein, and essential vitamins and minerals small enough to be 100% assimilated at the cellular level.

Enhancing and Regenerating

Cultivated in organic soil enriched with spirulina, Vital PSP+ combines PolySaccharidePeptides, essential minerals, amino acids, and Vitamin B complex. This potent mix boosts glucose uptake at the cellular level, which enhances the function of the circulatory and immune systems, triggering the body’s natural powers to regenerate and heal.

MOUTH CARE

Biowize Gum- A natural gum with xylitol to improve mouth health.
Corinne and the kids love this product and said they want more. Go figure!

MORE

I am not sure how many of the www.cyberwize.com  products we will have access to but it already looks like a significant range of products that I am sure people will find something that will allow them to be buying enough points each month to sustain the business model that is available to us all.

IN THE PIPELINE

We have also been advised of a product being worked on that contains z……. that are fantastic at detoxifying the body.

A discount travel program.

Technology products such as laptops and mobile phones.

I have no details on these but that should not stop you from sharing the information we have at the moment and I am sure we will be informed more as we get closer to the launch date of May 15th.
