Couch Potatoes Have Higher Risk of Having A Heart Attack After Sex

Sex and exercise can trigger heart attacks in older people who don’t get much of either, a new analysis finds. The risk is low, but it’s a good reminder that slackers should change their exercise habits gradually, especially in middle age.

People who exercise regularly have a much smaller risk of having a heart attack immediately after sexual or physical activity, said lead author Dr. Issa Dahabreh of Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

“It would be really bad if someone thought our paper means people should not exercise,” Dahabreh said. “If anything, it’s the opposite.”

The analysis, appearing in Wednesday’s Journal of the American Medical Association, combined results from 14 studies involving more than 6,000 patients.

The studies involved only people who’d had heart attacks or had died suddenly from a heart problem. The studies looked at what the people were doing during the hour or two before their heart attacks and compared that to the same people’s activity on normal days with no major heart problems.

That study design is used to try to answer the question, “Why did the heart attack occur now?”

Physical activity and sex increased the risk of heart attack by a factor of about three, according to the analysis of the pooled results. Exercise increased the risk of sudden cardiac death by nearly five times. The researchers didn’t find a triggering relationship between sex and sudden cardiac death, that is, a sudden death from a heart problem.

The risk for any one person is extremely low.

“If you were to follow 10,000 people for a year and if they all decided to increase their physical activity by an hour a week, you could expect to see two to three more heart attacks,” Dahabreh said.

That risk is offset for most people by the benefits of exercise. The more frequently people exercise, in general, the less risk they have of exercise or sex triggering a heart attack.

Most of the patients in the studies were in their late 50s and early 60s, but the findings are a cautionary tale for people in any age group who are slowing down.

Exercise might even be considered cross-training for sex, said Mercedes Carnethon, a heart disease researcher at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine, who wasn’t involved in the research.

“Engaging in regular physical activity is a requirement for maintaining a long, safe, healthy sex life,” Carnethon said.

“If this isn’t more motivation for people to maintain some degree of physical activity, I’m not sure what is,” Carnethon said. “Get out and walk. Do something.”

Natural Remedies for Blood Clotting

Home remedies for Blood clotting include canola oil, mustard oil, safflower oil, bread, beans, cereals, sprouts, Brussels, asparagus, broccoli, cayenne, vitamin C, banana, apricot, spinach, raisins, gingko, bilberry, turmeric, ginger, onion, garlic, spinach, pepper, clove, orange juice, skimmed milk, plenty of water, avoid smoking, obesity, heating pads, alcohol and sleeping pills, etc. Blood clot means clotting of a healthy vessel, which leads to several problematic situations. This may happen in any blood vessel and must be taken care well. It usually affects obese but people suffering from other clinical conditions may become affected. If not cured it may lead to amputation as well. There are many home remedies and its always beneficial for such patients to resort to these to stay active and healthy.

 

 

Blood clotting implies a mass of red blood cells and other components of cell that stick and clump together at the injured site and stop the blood flow in the blood vessel. During injury it is important for the person to prevent loss of blood. But if this happens within a healthy blood vessel which is flowing, it may cause sudden blockage of blood flow. It is called as emboli, which occurs rarely but is often dangerous and can be fatal leading to damage in tissue or death.

Blood clot may be caused due to missing of components of the blood system, plaque formation in the arteries (atherosclerosis), genetic factors, smoking, obesity, sickle cell anaemia, liver diseases, injury, any kind of surgery if taken place, cardiovascular disease and advanced age.

The Following Home remedies can prevent you from blood clotting

 

Cannola Oil, Mustard Oil: These are low fat containing oils and should be preferred for cooking purposes.

Bread, Beans, Cereals, Sprouts, Brussels and Asparagus: These are all rich in folate content which by a particular physiological pathway results in making the brittle arteries flexible.

Broccoli: Broccoli is rich in fibre content and considered good for patients having vascular disorders.

Celery: Celery contains an active compound which functions by lowering a stress hormone which thins or narrows down blood vessel. This way blood vessels maintain there optimum diameter.

Cayenne (capsicum) and Pepper: Both of these help in preventing platelets to stick together.

Vitamin C: It is an antioxidant and functions in proper vascular state.

Banana, Apricot, Spinach, Orange Juice: All of these keeps the vascular system active and maintain proper blood pressure.

Regular Exercise: Regularity in doing exercise must be shown as it is very important for the patients to keep the blood flow in all vessels continuously.

Avoid Smoking: Smoking results in replacement of oxygen by carbon monoxide to the already starved muscles of the veins. Therefore it complicates the situation and should not be practiced strictly.

Avoid Obesity: Obesity is caused due to fatty diet which results in deposition of fat on the walls of vessel leading to reduction in there diameter. Thus fat diet must be avoided by the patient.

Walking: A constant moving activity keeps various body parts in an active state.

Gingko: Gingko reduces the protein fibrin that is important in forming blood clots.

Bilberry, Turmeric, Ginger: Bilberry, turmeric and ginger reduce the phenomenon of sticking up of platelets which leads to blood clot formation.

Onion and Garlic: Onion and garlic also reduces fibrin and stickiness of platelets.

Hydrotherapy: Applying hot and cold packs alternatively at the site of pain results in maintenance of continuous blood flow at the site of blood clot.

Massage: This also has been found to give some relief to the patient.

Spinach, Pepper, Garlic and Clove: Leaves of spinach and one part each of pepper, garlic and clove are put together to extract the juice and then mixed well. This can be drunk by the patient.

As advised on our Free Health Tips Page, one must drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration and avoid alcohol and sleeping pills because they cause immobility which raises the risk of stoppage of blood flow. It is also highly recommended that regular check ups with the doctor should be performed to evaluate cholesterol levels and rates of blood pressure.

Health Benefits of Vitamin C “Ascorbic Acid”

The Health Benefits of Vitamin C

The health benefits of Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid include the prevention and cure of scurvy, treatment of common cold, boosting the immune system, lowering hyper tension, cure of lead toxicity, curing cataracts, treatment of cancer, combating stroke, maintain elasticity of skin, healing of wounds, and controlling the symptoms of asthma.

Vitamin C or Ascorbic acid is the one of the most effective and safest nutrients. It is a water soluble vitamin. It is the powerful antioxidant for the synthesis of collagen which helps to make blood vessels and body muscles strong. Human body doesn’t have the capacity to generate Vitamin C. Therefore, it needs to receive it through foods and other supplements.

Deficiency Symptoms:
A severe deficiency of Vitamin C can cause scurvy, a fatal disease. The symptoms of scurvy are loose teeth, bleeding and bruising, joint pain and swelling, tooth and hair loss, hemorrhages, inability to fight infections, and mild anemia.

Important Sources:
The important sources of Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid are any citrus fruits such as oranges and grapes. Strawberry, raspberry, cabbage, cauliflower, other leafy vegetables, red pepper, potatoes, broccoli, chilies, watercress, parsley, Brussels sprouts, cantaloupe, mange tout, and kiwi fruit are also rich sources of this vitamin. The cooking of food at low temperature and for short time is important to keep the Vitamin C preserved.

Benefits:

  • Prevention of Scurvy: Scurvy is prevented by sufficient intake of vitamin C. The symptoms of scurvy appear due to the weakening of connective tissues, bones and blood vessels which include collagen. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant, is required for the production of collagen.
  • Treatment of Common Cold: It enhances the immune system of our body which protects us from cold and cough. It facilitates the absorption of iron and hence strengthens the resistance to infection. It fights with viruses.
  • Lowering Hypertension: People with hypertension are at high risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. The supplement of vitamin C intake helps in lowering the blood pressure.
  • Treatment of Vasodilation: Treatment with vitamin C has effectively resulted in proper dilation of blood vessels in the cases of atherosclerosis, congestive heart failure, high cholesterol, angina pectoris, and high blood pressure. Results have been found that supplements of vitamin C improve blood vessel dilation.
  • Cure of Lead Toxicity: Lead Toxicity is a severe health problem found mostly in children, especially in the urban areas. Abnormal development and growth has been found in children who are exposed to lead. They develop behavioral problems, learning disabilities and have low IQ. It may damage the kidney and increase blood pressure in adults. Vitamin C supplements reduce the blood lead level.
  • Curing Cataracts (Eye Disorder): Cataracts are the most common reasons of visual problems. Decrease in the level of vitamin C in the lens of the human eye has been found with increased number of cataracts. Increase of vitamin C intake increases the blood supply to the visual zones of the body.
  • Treatment of Cancer: Researchers have found that high consumption of fresh vegetables and fruits have a linkage with a minimised risk for the various types of cancer. The studies have shown that increased consumption of vitamin C is connected with the decreased possibilities of cancers of lung, mouth, vocal chords, throat, colon-rectum, stomach, and esophagus.
  • Combating Stroke: Vitamin C or Ascorbic Acid helps in reducing the risk of stroke, a kind of cardiovascular disease. A diet full of vegetables and fruits produces good quantity of vitamin C which maintains the appropriate blood pressure level. It also protects the body from free radicals which could be the reason for the stroke.
  • Mood: Vitamin C plays a key role in the production of neurotransmitters, norepinephrine. They affect the mood of a person as they are critical to the proper functioning of the brain.
  • Immunity: Immunity is another important benefit of this vitamin. Vitamin C is widely known for its contribution to the immune system of the body.
  • Wound repair: Vitamin C helps to repair wounds. It facilitates the growth of the connective tissues, which fastens up the process of healing of wounds.
  • Controlling Asthma: It also helps to reduce the symptoms of asthma.It helps to protect against the harmful effects of pollution on human body.
  • Curing Diabetes: One of the chief reasons for diabetes as found by various studies is lower levels of vitamin C. Supplements of vitamin C are beneficial as a cure to diabetes as they help in processing of insulin and glucose.
  • Preventing Heart Diseases: Adequacy of vitamin C is essential for protection of blood vessels from the damage that free radicals can cause to them. This could be a major cause of a heart disease called atherosclerosis. Vitamin C acts as a preventing agent of this heart disease as well as various other cardiac problems.

The Benefits of Garlic

The Beneftis of Garlic

Numerous trials have looked at the role of garlic supplements in heart disease. Many of these randomized studies showed positive benefits of garlic in heart disease: lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) and triglycerides A few small randomized trials also suggested the benefits of garlic in the prevention of platelet aggregation and thrombosis (the formation of plaques in the blood). Another study also showed that aged garlic extracts lowered blood pressure. Most of these studies are relatively short-term, therefore we do not know if the positive benefits of garlic will last more than 3 months. Please also note that there were a number of studies showing conflicting results.

Some studies looked at the potential benefits of garlic in cancer prevention. Some suggested that garlic inhibited the development and progression of breast, colon, stomach, esophagus, prostate and skin cancers in test tubes and in animals. Read Benefits of Garlic in Cancer.

Other studies also showed that garlic exhibits antibiotic and antifungal effects.

Natural Fibroid Shrinking Testimony

M. McKenzie - Naturally Shrinked Fibroids

 

“Dear Dr Akilah,

You are a Godsend! I can not believe that I suffered all these years with a uterus full of fibroids and two ovarian cysts. Every year my periods would get heavier and heavier and all the doctors would do is monitor it, prescribe me countless birth control pills and pain medication. The final straw was when my doctor referred me to an OBYN surgeon who insist on giving me a hysterectomy! That’s when I had enough and decided to put it in the Lord’s hand. The next day my cousin Linda Mae told me about you and how you helped her get pregnant in 6 months after her private Physican failed after 5 years. As you know from our first conversation on the phone I was a bit skeptical but I was so desperate that I was willing to try anything.

A couple of weeks after our first consultation I noticed a big change in my periods. I wasn’t bleeding heavy and my cramps were not painful. I also noticed that the bloating in the bottom of my stomach went down tremendously. After our second phone consultation my periods went from 9 days to 4. Hallelujah! You also recommended that I get another ultrasound to determine how much my fibroids shrink. You have no idea how overjoyed I was when I got the results saying that my fibroids went from 12cm to 4cm and the two cyst that were located on my ovaries are gone!!!!!! After our third phone consultation you gave me the final program that would finish the rest of those fibroids off. That was three months ago. I just got back from the doctor and rushed to my computer because I had to send you this email! Dr Akilah I am typing this letter to you with tears in my eyes. They are not tears of sadness but tears of joy! I just had a meeting with my doctor and the ultrasound showed a healthy normal uterus that was fibroid free!

I am one of the many, perhaps thousands of women you helped keep their uterus. Bless you Dr Akilah and I give thanks to the Lord our Father everyday for bringing you into my life. You are truly an angel sent here to help us! Thank you for everything you’ve done and may God continue to bless you with the wonderful knowledge and usage of his herbs.

sincerely yours,

M. McKenzie– Great Falls, MT”
