The Heart, the body's life muscle. It is responsibe for pumping essential nutrients to all cells, and organs of the body-including your brain. A weakened heart accelerates the symptons of the aging process. There are certain nutrients essential in feeding the Heart. Among them,
good fat, required by the body. They are not made by
the body, and must be supplied in the diet. The average
diet is exceptionally high in Omega-6's but drastically low
in Omega-3's The diet is even lower in the two
most important Omega-3's Those being EPA and

Vitamin C The interesting fact is that this miracle vitamin cannot be manufactured by the body, and needs to be ingested. It is a great antioxidant and helps protect the body against pollutants. It is a water-soluble, antioxidant vitamin. It is important for the formation of collagen - a protein that gives structure to bones, cartilage, and blood vessels
After 40 years of research, Dr. Irwin Stone stated his conclusion that an ancient genetic mutation left the primate virtually alone among animals in not producing ascorbic acid in his own body. By labeling ascorbic acid a "vitamin" and attaching to it a "minimum daily requirement," most people exist in a state of sub-clinical scurvy-the symptoms of which are attributed to other ailments.
By the 1950s Dr. Stone's work with ascorbates had explained the success of Dr. Klenner's use of ascorbic acid to treat polio. By the 1960s, Dr. Stone's work had attracted the attention of Nobel laureate Dr. Linus Pauling. Dr. Pauling was then able to successfully apply "mega-ascorbate therapy" to a variety of ailments-including cancer, heart disease and diabetes.
The answer is to change our thinking about vitamin C-which is really a metabolite that is essential to health and healing at the molecular level. Dr. Stone's foundational research has provided us with the knowledge to ward off disease, counteract the ill effects of pollution and prolong our lives-easily and inexpensively
CoQ-10 Is one of the most potent antioxidants known. It plays a key role in treatment of cardiovascular illnesses, including congestive heart failure. Supplementing CoQ10 has many health benefits such as strengthening the heart, improving the immune system and lowering blood pressure.
