Gifts of Heart Health
Things we talked about:
-Omega-3s
-Mike Ciell, Unified Theory of Heart Disease
-Vitamin C, nature’s statin
-Move your body
I was reviewing my notes and came across the name of Mike Ciell, the pharmacologist and inventor I met at the Natural Supplements Trade show in October. He was the one who helped me to get a better handle on the whys and wherefores of Omega-3s. Well, in my notes there was a website that he posted an article on. I have borrowed the article and it’s well worth the read.
Did you know there were “other” theories of heart disease besides (lipid) cholesterol theory?
Unified Theory of Heart Disease
After reading this, I can tell you, you will want to be getting more than 60mgs of Vitamin C per day. (I am now taking 1200 mgs. 20X more than the recommeded dose. I am not trying to stave off scurvy, I have bad genes and this really helps. Mike calls it Nature’s statin.)
Oh, I signed up to run in a 5 mile race on December 15th in Baltimore. Everyone thinks its the Celtic Solstice celebration but really its my birthday and I figure I can run the 5 miler with the older crowd. Waddle, waddle, jog, jog, walk, breathe.
I have been doing the run/walk/run thing about 3.5 miles every other day. I am sure the momentum of 3000 people joining me on my birthday will carry me through. I will take plenty of Res-Q 1250 and Vitamin C that day, as I do every other day.
When I was 14 I ran the mile in 7 minutes. Who decided to make the mile so long that it now takes me 12 - 13 minutes? And that’s only the first mile. Jog, jog, jog. Ugh. But it feels really good when it’s over.
Take plenty of Omega-3s and Vitamin C every day. Shake that bottle of water before drinking it. The water molecules will thank you. Get up off the couch, park far away from the mall, walk a lot, jog a little. Breathe. Enjoy the season.
So I am glad I reviewed my notes. I will get in touch with Mike. I have some ideas for a new project that I want his help on.
As always,
Choose Health!
