Heart Disease Responds To Gut Therapy
According
to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC),
the top cause of death in the US continues to be heart disease, just
ahead of cancer.
"Heart
disease" is the umbrella term that includes coronary heart disease
(CHD), coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack (myocardial infarction),
congestive heart failure and congenital heart disease.
But
with the exception of congenital heart disease (meaning you're born with
it), heart disease doesn't just pop up suddenly one day.
It's
created slowly over time...
You
see, the primary cause of heart disease is atherosclerosis (hardening of
the arteries). And that develops steadily, day after day and year after
year.
Here's
how that happens, along with a very surprising way you can help keep it far
away from YOU!
Inflammation is the
culprit
Heart
disease is primarily the result of chronic inflammation in your arteries.
You
see, just like your favorite sweatshirt, your car or the paint on your
house, your arteries incur normal wear and tear, and that causes little
abrasions or rips to the vessels.
When
your body senses these little injuries, its repair team (made up of
platelets and white blood cells) comes to the site to start healing...and
part of that process includes stirring up some inflammation.
Then
your body sends its "healing salve"--cholesterol--to seal up the
wound.
This
is a normal, healthy bodily process designed to help protect ALL of your
cells and tissues from harm.
The
problem arises, however, when the inflammation in your blood vessels
becomes CHRONIC.
That's
when your repair system begins working in maximum overdrive, cholesterol
starts to accumulate too much in your arteries...
...And
you become a medical statistic.
So what causes this
inflammation?
Up
until now, the primary known causes or contributing factors of arterial
inflammation have been smoking, lack of exercise, deficiencies in Omega-3
essential fatty acids and Vitamin C, and a diet full of processed foods and
trans-fats.
But
now there's a "new kid on the block" that can contribute to
chronic inflammation.
It's
your GUT.
That's
right.
Specifically,
a gut that's "leaky."
Here's
how:
From the gut to the
ticker
Your
intestinal (aka gut) wall was designed by Nature to be strong enough
to move your wastes along with its muscle contractions (called
peristalsis), as well as keep dangerous toxins "locked up" until
they can be eliminated with your bowel movements.
At
the same time, the gut wall also "opens its doors" just ever so
slightly to allow nutrients from your foods to be absorbed into your
bloodstream.
But
the danger arises when your gut wall becomes TOO permeable...or leaky. As
in "leaky gut syndrome."
When
your gut wall becomes too leaky, toxins from your foods, the environment
and disease-causing bacteria now have an "open door" to seep into
your bloodstream.
Then
a dreadful, inflammation and disease-causing cycle begins:
1. First, your immune system
reacts strongly to toxins in your system, seeing them as dangerous
invaders. When it detects them, it sends out an SOS to your repair team
(that I described above) to get the inflammation cycle going.
2. Toxins glide through your
bloodstream, become lodged in your tissues and can remain there for YEARS,
all the while continually igniting an inflammatory immune response.
3. Toxins can generate
oxidative damage to your cells (similar to the damage caused by trans-fats)
which keeps the inflammation cycle going.
This
is the perfect recipe for chronic inflammation and sadly, many a case of
heart disease.
The
inflammation can also manifest itself as conditions like arthritis,
migraines, asthma, thyroid goiter, eczema, psoriasis, low back pain and
fibromyalgia.
So who has a leaky
gut?
Well,
just about ANYone!
First
of all, people with Celiac disease and autism are at a great risk for leaky
gut.
In
addition, if you take medications, you're also putting out the welcome mat.
Most commonly the prescribed drugs can lead to leaky gut, and that includes
the "Three A's":
1) Anti-inflammatories--including
NSAIDS like Tylenol and Advil, aspirin and steroids such as prednisone and
cortisone.
2) Antacids and
acid-reducers
3) Antibiotics
Leaky
gut is also caused by poor digestion.
You
see, when your foods are poorly broken down and too big to pass through the
gut wall, they move down the GI tract and become food for the harmful
bacteria in your gut.
This
is a double-edged sword.
For
one, the "too big" food particles become putrefied (rotted). And
as they rot, the harmful bacteria in your gut feed on them and multiply
like rabbits. This leads to harmful bacteria overgrowth (dysbiosis) and
makes your immune system practically non-existent.
In
addition, during this rotting, chemicals are formed that are poisonous to
your body. They are SO toxic that they irritate the lining of your colon
and eventually eat away at it, making it porous.
Strengthen your gut wall -
prevent heart disease too!
As
you can see, the health of your gut goes WAAAY beyond just preventing gas
and having normal bowel movements!
Having
a nice, strong gut wall can help prevent inflammation from head to toe--and
that includes your precious arteries.
And
the good news is that strengthening your gut wall and keeping it strong is
a snap to achieve.
It
just involves two simple steps:
1) Structure your meals so
that your body can easily break them down like it should.
The
Great Taste No Pain
health system will teach you exactly how to do this.
The
manual "How To End
Stomach Pain Forever, Even If Your MD Says, 'No Way!'" will tell
you the few easy food-pairing principles you'll need to remember and
explain the scientific basis behind why they work so well with how your
system digests food.
"What To Eat With What"
will help you plan meals around all of your favorite foods, including
meats, poultry, fish, pastas, grains and more.
And
there's even a pocket
guide to use when dining out so you can make sure ALL of your meals are
easily digestible wherever you are.
Note:
If you have Celiac
disease or are gluten sensitive, Great Taste No Gluten
is for you instead.
2) Ensure your intestinal
flora are properly balanced.
The
friendly bacteria in your system help to keep the gut wall non-porous, as
well as assisting with digestion and keeping harmful bacteria under control.
The
ideal flora balance is having at least 85% beneficial bacteria and no more
than 15% harmful.
The
problem is most people are walking around with the complete OPPOSITE of
what they should have. This is not only due to poor digestion, but also
environmental toxins, medications, stress and lack of sleep.
So
it's essential to give your gut a helping hand with a quality probiotic
supplement...
Like
Super Shield
multi-strain probiotic formula.
Super
Shield contains powerful strains of 13 friendly
bacteria that are robust and ready to take their place in your system.
They'll help fend off the bad guys, keep your digestion smooth, beef up
your immune system and help make that gut wall nice and strong.
Heart
disease is our number 1 killer and it doesn't look like it's going to be
disappearing any time soon.
Do
all you can to keep inflammation low and your arteries healthy.
Believe
me, your loved ones will thank you for many years to come.
To
your health,

PPS: Gladlyn's off blood
pressure meds and much more!
Dear Sherry,
Thank you for your marvelous
work to help bring relief to people like me.
I have been suffering with
acid reflux disease for almost 20 years. I used different brands of
antacids before I was put on Nexium five years ago. My doctor told me I may
have to remain on it for the rest of my life. However each time the side
effects became too severe I ceased taking the Nexium only to return to its
use when the acid reflux was too bad.
Recently, I developed high
blood pressure and that with the reflux ended me in the ER. I had severe
chest pains.
I did a research on Nexium and
found out that it should be used as a short term treatment for acid reflux
disease. I began searching for alternatives and found your plan. I started
it immediately.
I am no longer taking the
Nexium and I have no problem with my stomach. I sleep well without being
propped up with six pillows.
I am no longer on blood
pressure medication and my blood pressure is normal.
If only I found
your plan
before I would have saved a
lot of money, sleepless nights and several doctors' visits, not mentioning
the pain and discomfort which I endured over the years.
I will sure make your plan my
life style for the rest of my life. Thank you. Please continue the good
works.
Yours,
Gladlyn
