High-fat diets are bad for the arteries and the waistline, but new research shows it is also bad for those suffering with asthma. Food that are heavy and high in fat have a double whammy effect on asthmatics by causing inflammation of the airway and inhibiting their response to albuterol, a common asthma medication.

According to the Center for Disease Control, the prevalence of asthma increased by approximately 75 percent between the years of 1980 and 1994. Approximately 300 million people around the world are estimated to suffer from asthma, an the World Health Organization projects that this number will grow to approximately 400 million by the year 2025. Finding out the triggers for asthma is important, as are new therapies.

L-Arginine for Heart Health
Written by Matt Ronan   

Hi, my name is Matt Ronan, co-owner of Evolv Healthstore in Enniscorthy. We have been in the business of health now for nearly 18 years. Over those years we in Evolv have seen many wonderful products, but the one I am writing about today is, in my opinion, the closest thing to a miracle in heart related matters!

 

Now and again medical science comes along and makes a breakthrough that really is amazing . This time I believe just such a major breakthrough has happened and it deserves all the headlines it gets.

 

The B-Pro monitor is a device which can listen to your pulse at the wrist and then a few seconds later give you a staggering amount of information on your entire cardiovascular system!

 

It can estimate the flexibility of your arteries, whether there is much plaque present yet, what the pressure at the heart is and so forth. Truly astonishing stuff! Normally to gain this type of insight you would have to undergo several difficult medical investigations. Now all this takes place while you chat to the tester about the weather! This information is usually summarised for you as how your heart is ageing. Is it performing as it should be for someone your age or is it looking a little older than it should be at this stage. Equally some readings show a remarkably youthful system which is always a pleasure to see.

 

Armed with this information you now have all your options open. If there is a little correction in order – then you have plenty of time to be putting it right rather than being given an ultimatum by your surgeon!

 

Fortunately, if there is work to be done, there is also help at hand which, incredible as it sounds can help to reverse the stiffening and plaguing of our arteries !

 

Yes! That’s exactly what is possible, because alongside this incredible ability to investigate our hearts’ health comes a product that can help to rejuvenate our entire cardiovascular system and undo much of the effects of the ageing process.

 

This is an amino acid called L-Arginine which helps to create Nitric Oxide. Research on Nitric Oxide was considered to be so important and groundbreaking that it gained the Nobel prize for medicine in 1998 for three American scientists. Occasionally people using this product even for the first time have noticed pins and needles in their extremities demonstrating that their circulation was improved quite dramatically. L-Arginine has had more medical papers written about it than any other substance, and don’t just take my word for it take a look below at some of the quotes from medics on the international scene.

 

Lots of factors influence each person’s individual chances of trouble e.g. stress levels, family history, diet, exercise, environment etc…

 

Therefore, rather than waiting for the danger signs to show up, surely it would be wise to check out how things are doing now?

 

All of this combined with the fact that you can measure your progress means that you also have tremendous peace of mind and encouragement to keep making progress until you achieve readings which are appropriate for your own individual case.

 

Now available to everyone at Evolv, Enniscorthy, the B-Pro test is proving to be extremely popular already, with a reasonable cost of €50 for this space-age technology. The great news is that the second test is FREE which encourages even the most economically minded of us to do our follow-up test and aim for progress toward better health and peace of mind.

There will be a Heart Health Seminar, incorporating all this information, taking place in Evolv, Enniscorthy, in January. For those who would like to attend please book your place at Evolv. T: 053 923 6009.

 

If you produce this article from Slaney News at the seminar your admission is FREE!

WHAT DOCTORS ARE SAYING:

“Oral arginine taken regularly has time and time again proven its ability to lower cholesterol, prevent LDL oxidation by free radicals, restore endothelial function, normalize blood-vessel dilation, reduce platelet stickiness, and generally tune up your cardiovascular system.“ – Dr. Robert Fried, PhD., Senior Professor of Biopsychology at Hunter College, Columbia Univ., NY.

 

Early evidence suggests that L-arginine may help treat medical conditions that improve with vasodilation, such as chest pain, clogged arteries (called atherosclerosis), coronary artery disease, erectile dysfunction, heart failure, intermittent claudication, peripheral vascular disease and blood vessel swelling that causes headaches (vascular headaches). L-arginine also triggers the body to make protein and has been studied for wound healing, body building, enhancement of sperm production (spermatogenesis), and prevention of wasting in people with critical illnesses.” – Mayo Clinic.

 

“In the field of medicine and health it is one of the revolutions of our time: the discovery that the amino acid arginine may be a ‘magic bullet’ for the cardiovascular system. A virtual arterial cleanser, arginine helps eliminate blockage and maintains blood flow.” – Woodson Merrell, M.D., Columbia University Medical School.

What About Ireland?

 

Well one of the country’s top vascular surgeons has come out in favour of this route of heart health also.

 

Preferring it to the use of statins he sees L-arginine as having more potential for improving heart health than the drugbased approach. He also accepts results of the B-Pro monitor as a starting point for referrals to his busy clinic.

Who needs it?

If there is some heart history in the family or if some of the warning signs of possible concern are already present e.g. poor fitness, raised blood pressure, cholesterol, a little overweight etc, then this is a terrific chance to get to grips with the situation and begin corrective action.

Is L-Arginine just for the heart?

Not at all… L-Arginine can improve a host of conditions and indeed is well known to the top sports people for its ability to improve performance and recovery. Up to 50% faster recovery from injuries has been observed by some users and the good news does not stop there! The decreased circulation sometimes affecting diabetics can be helped with the use of this mighty amino acid. Also, energy production is usually seen to be dramatically improved with the product.
