Protection For Your Heart And Your Gums

By Bryon Zirker

Here's something. Taking care of your teeth can save
your life. Having gum disease is a very risky situation
in that it raises your risk of dying from a heart attack.
50 percent of heart attacks are fatal.

The Dental Longitudinal Study by the Department of
Veterans Affairs showed this: 1,147 men tracked for
18 years who had severe gum disease showed a 150
percent greater risk for heart disease and 2 times the
fatal heart attacks when compared to main control
group. This evidence showing the connection is very
convincing.

Hmmm! what a coincidence that the antioxidants
recommended by some health experts for your heart
also help your gums:
Vitamin E repair damaged gum tissue. 400 IUs per day.
Folic acid regenerates healthy gums. Oral rinses containing
folic acid can be quite effective for the treatment of gum
disease. There are dentists that have begun supplying
these rinses, try to find a dentist that is uses holistic
treatments.

CQ10 can reverse heart disease and gum disease. Try
60mg a day. 100mg per day could be used to reverse
gum disease.

Good old Vitamin C will reduce gingivitis inflammation.
1000mgper day is fine.

Aerobics Speeds Aging-Say no to Aerobics

By Bryon Zirker

For 20 years or more it has been known that a persons lung
capacity is an indicator of longevity. The facts found in the
famous "Framingham Heart Study" put forth this: The bigger
that your lungs are the longer your life will be.

Regrettably aerobics instead of lengthening your life actually
makes you more prone to chronic disease by shrinking your
lungs. This is how your body copes with the long term effects
of stress that aerobics puts on it. So aerobics which was supposed
to help you live longer does the opposite.

This news is disturbing. Since your lungs naturally decrease in
size with age. It is important to do activities that increase lung
size not decrease it. Aerobics speeds up your aging and will spell
your end early. Try doing wind sprints if you run or weight training.
Short term high intensity exercise is best.
