Coronary Heart Disease Reversal and Nutrition - Part II
Carbohydrate Intake and the Control of Glycemia - Blood Sugar Level - Part I
ABSTRACT of article : Expanding further on the concept of combining cholesterol-lowering drugs therapy with a diet or nutritional plan designed for halting or even reversing atherosclerosis: the build-up of dangerous coronary artery plaque responsible for heart disease. This process is known as atherosclerotic build-up. Many recent studies point to the fact that nutrition: i.e. a diet designed for heart health may be very instrumental in the successful treatment, improvement or even the reversal of heart disease - CHD / CAD - atherosclerosis.
ABSTRACT of article : Small and easy-to -make changes in every day eating pattern... big difference in glycemia - or blood sugar levels. Good carb management and healthy nutrition are your first tools for mastering type 2 diabetes and controlling glycemia. They are also of great help for weight watching individuals who wish to either lose or control their weight in a safe and healthy way. (UK: glycaemia)
A very tasty burger that can actually taste better than most restaurant burgers ! The main differences are its very low saturated fat content and overall fat content. It also incorporates wholegrain bun, soy protein and fat-free cheese. In the Heart Health version, only 15 % of calories are derived from fat, compared to around 60% for fast-food restaurants burgers. A recipe designed to lower cholesterol levels and to improve your heart's health. Full nutrional analysis of the three recipes versions is provided.
Salads and soups should be considered as more than optional side dishes. They are in fact some of the best means of incorporating vegetables in the daily diet. This fat-free chicken broth based soup is an example of how to provide a wide variety of those beneficial vegetables . A sprayed mist of olive oil, fine herbs make it a wonderful tasty classic. This recipe was conceived for those who wish to improve cholesterol and lipid levels. Fat-free broth is easy to find, Swanson's and Campbell's fat-free broths can be found everywhere. Complete nutrition facts are displayed.
For people with heart disease, type 2 diabetes or for people who are struggling to keep their weight within given values, pizza from a fast food restaurant is something they should definitely stay away from, in all circumstances. These have a very high fat (and caloric) content. Saturated fat favours the synthesis of LDL-Cholesterol (bad cholesterol). It also contains refined flour, not the best for blood sugar levels or for one's weight loss target. What would happen if you could quickly make a pizza and, this time decide on which ingredients should belong in the recipe? Your pizza would end up tasting better than theirs ...with a healthy content ! (Uses soy pepperoni to provide complete lean protein). This recipe will also please weight-watching people.

This recipe should be filed in the "yummy" food folder. In the icy treats department, there are products other than ice cream. While a cornerstone of American culinary culture, ice cream has an unfortunate side: it is almost always heavily laden with saturated fat. Saturated fat is not a friend of your heart, nor is it a friend of your waistline. However, if you look in the right stores, you will find icy treats that are made from soy and offer similar protein content, without the high saturated fat levels. A diet low in saturated fats helps improve cholesterol profile and cardiovascular health. We used Turtle Mountain's dairy-free OSD Vanilla to achieve our goals. View full nutritional information / facts tables.
Some salads, especially in fast food restaurants, have a high proportion of lettuce vs. the other ingredients. While lettuce brings fiber to a meal, it cannot be held as a fantastic source of nutrients. heartMonitron views salad as a vehicle that is ideal to bring a wide variety of vegetables in one's diet. This is why this salad has a small ratio of lettuce and a high proportion of the other, more nutritious veggies. The virtues of a good salad can easily be cancelled out by using fatty vinaigrette; fortunately many manufacturers have come up with fat-free vinaigrette. This recipe aims at reducing total fat content; it is the ideal side dish for anybody who wishes to improve his or her overall health. The high fiber content will provide weight-watching people with a feeling of satiety.
Spaghetti Bolognese style Sauce, a low-fat, low-calorie recipe (Bolognaise)
Yummy! Whole-wheat spaghetti with a low fat, very low-cholesterol, Bolognese style sauce, for healthy cooking and diet plans. The recipe is presented in three versions: one for heart health, one for a diabetic diet and one for weight loss or weight management. Uses whole-wheat pasta and a wide variety of vegetables. The heart care recipe uses Boca's ground soy for a lower saturated fat content and Campbell's tomato soup (0% fat) to further lower fat content to a low 16% of calories from fat.
At 360 Calories per person this spaghetti Bolognese is ideal for weight watching purposes.

Low-Density (bad) Cholesterol and Statin Drugs (Lipitor, Crestor.. Etc)
The hM Gazette covers the basics on heart / cardiovascular health and diabetes care
ABSTRACT of article: This type of medication is now very widely prescribed, worldwide. Some people are, for all sorts of reasons, against taking any kind of drugs. In the case of statin drugs, they may be saying "no" to halting the building of plaque in their arteries. This article explains briefly what statin drugs like Lipitor and Crestor do, how they do it and finally presents the benefits in terms of influence on cardiac event risk. In some instances, statins have been reported to reverse - or partially cure - heart disease.

ABSTRACT of article: When climbing a flight of stairs, Joe finds that he always ends up being a bit short of breath nowadays. He has to climb those stairs everyday, on the way back from the take-out lunch counter in the office building. Today he bought his favorites : three hot-dogs, a bag of potato chips and some off-the-shelf cookies. Right now, the shortness of breath is really bothering him. He starts to realize that, just maybe, something is going seriously wrong. Just what has been happening over time ? What are the common causes of atherosclerosis - hardening of the arteries? What causes one to develop angina and what does cholesterol have to do with the development of heart disease ?
ABSTRACT of article: A combination therapy leads to a further decrease in LDL-Cholesterol. Recently published medical literature points to a method to further lower the level of this harmful fraction of the total cholesterol. In itself, this could be a very useful extra in the fight to successfully roll back or reverse coronary heart disease.

Separating good and sound Weight loss or Management Principles from the Gimmicks

The hM Monitor covers the basics on nutrition, diet, weight loss and weight control
ABSTRACT of article : Some bizarre weight loss diets tend to make you starve and provide totally inadequate nutrition. A good weigh loss, or health care plan should always provide a well-balanced intake of nutrients and it should not have you walking around hungry all the time either.
ABSTRACT of article: There are plenty of ads promising miracles...often at high cost. What should a weight watching person be looking for in order to assess the merits of those programs or products. Can a weight loss plan be any good if it does not cost anything ? Could it be that the very best and truly scientifically proven methods are in fact the least expensive of them all, sometimes free ? One's credit card was never designed as a very efficient tool to lose, control or maintain weight. This article provides some assessment criteria.
ABSTRACT of article: Some of the diets conceived by leading cardiologists for their heart patients have a common "collateral" side-effect. Most people who embark on these diets invariably tend to lose weight. They also tend to maintain that new healthier weight on the long term. How come?

Coronary Heart Disease Reversal and Nutrition - Part I
Introducing the concept of combining cholesterol-lowering drugs (Lipitor, Crestor... etc) therapy with a nutritional regimen aimed at halting or even reversing the build-up of dangerous coronary artery plaque which is responsible for coronary heart disease - atherosclerosis. Many recent studies point to the fact that the food we choose to eat and the way we cook or prepare it may be very instrumental in the successful treatment or reversal of heart disease - CHD / CAD . Along with appropriate medication such as Statins and ACE Inhibitors (Altace), the quality, the source and the very nature of our diet is a key element in preventing atherosclerosis / coronary plaque and improving heart health.

The Effects of Smoking Cigarettes on your Heart, your Coronary Health
We all keep hearing, again and again, that smoking is bad for you. That is a very easy thing to say for a non-smoker. But, if you happen to be a smoker who enjoys his hourly cigarette, you can hardly conceive that a peaceful activity such as smoking a cigarette on your patio chair can have such bad or harmful effects. These effects lead to smoking-induced diseases like coronary heart disease (also called coronary artery disease) and others. You may wonder if there is any truth to this saying that smoking cigarettes, smoking cigars or smoking pipe harms your arteries, jeopardizes your cardiovascular health and may cause heart attacks and death. Just what are the data and the evidence on WHY and HOW smoking is harmful to coronary health? In order to find out, we will first take a look at how CHD and heart attacks develop, then we will look at the physiological and biochemical effects of smoke and, finally, we will confirm the data with numbers from "Meta" epidemiological studies.
What is Diabetes? an Overview of the Basics
Caring for diabetes is a constant preoccupation for those who have been diagnosed with one form of the disease. However, the results they achieve can sometimes vary wildly. One morning, blood glucose measures at 115 mg/dL (6.4 mmol/L), and the next morning it is at 203 mg/dL (11.3 mmol/L) ! This can be very frustrating to either old-time or newly diagnosed diabetics. Some very famous professional athletes have achieved great success despite the fact that they are diabetics. They, of course, have mastered their condition. In order to do so, they have come to know the very nature of their ailment. They have a good knowledge of just what is diabetes. Having figured out how diabetes works (its physiology), they can now master it with great success. Actually, their performance is superior to that of the general population. A good knowledge of the basics of diabetes will go a long way in improving a diabetic's ability to manage the disease.
