Bet you didn't know....

• Since 1900, CVD has been the No. 1 killer in the
  United States every year but 1918.
• Nearly 2,600 Americans die of CVD each day, an
  average of 1 death every 33 seconds.
• CVD claims more lives each year than the next 5
  leading causes of death combined, which are
  cancer, chronic lower respiratory diseases,
  accidents, diabetes mellitus, influenza and
  pneumonia.
• Almost 150,000 Americans killed by CVD each year
  are under age 65.

The Heart

• Is a muscle about the size of your fist
• Weighs approximately one pound
• Is located behind and slightly to the left of the
  breastbone
• Pumps about 5 quarts (4.7 liters) of blood every
  minute or
• About 198 million quarts in an average lifetime

13
The function of the heart is to circulate blood
throughout the body by

• Pumping blood through the lungs removes carbon
  dioxide and refreshes the blood with oxygen
• The oxygenated blood is pumped to the body to
  provide oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste
  products.
• The coronary arteries are the blood vessels that
  supply blood and oxygen to the heart muscle.

14
Red blood cells must be healthy and plentiful

Risk Factors

• High blood cholesterol
• High blood pressure
• Smoking
• Obesity
• Lack of physical activity
• Diabetes
• Poor circulation
• Stress

Note Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30.0 or
higher.
23
What is stress?
Stress is one of those terms that we use to
shield us from our ignorances. We would be better
off without it. It survives because it is a
convenient term to indicate the general topic
under discussion. Attempts to provide such a
vague concept with a precise physiological
definition engender confusion and
misunderstanding. Rushen, 1986
24
Stressor ? Stress Response

• Stressor any environmental stimulus that
  disrupts homeostasis and causes the stress
  response
• - Examples a tiger running toward you, a
  difficult and important exam, the credit crunch,
  a loan foreclosure
• Stress response a suite of physiological and
  behavioral responses to a stressor that help to
  restore homeostasis

25
Stress can be a killer

• Estimated that 75 of physician visits are stress
  related
• Unmanaged stress significantly increases risk of
  heart disease
• Stress also affects brain function
• Unmanaged emotional stress is now regarded as
  MORE important than physical measures in
  predicting heart disease outcomes

26
Consequences of the stress response

• Increased heart rate
• Increased oxygen intake
• Increased blood glucose levels
• Increased blood flow to muscles
• Increased alertness
• Inhibition of digestion and immune system
• Release of endorphins
• Pupil dilation

27
Stress and heart disease

• How does chronic stress produce heart disease?
• Blood vessels more to prone to damage due to
  increased blood pressure
• Damage to blood vessel inner lining
  causesplaques to build up (atherosclerosis)
  clogging of the arteries
• Once system is damaged, more vulnerable to acute
  stressors

28
What simple lifestyle measures can we take to
reduce our risk?

• Eat more fruit and vegetables
• Exercise more often
• Reduce intake of saturated fat
• Stop smoking
• Drink sensibly

29
But its not all bad news!

• New Heartfast
• Can significantly improve your cardiovascular
  health

Digital Pulse Wave AnalyserMeasures Heart Rate
Variability

• Arterial wall stiffness
• Artery age
• Heart Stress levels
• Abnormal heart beats (extra systole)

31
Heartfast direct positive effect on the heart
immediately
Sitting Stress reduced by 60
Extra systoles removed completely
In just 10 minutes!
Standing Stress reduced by 50
32
But what does Heartfast do to your blood?
33
Remember what normal red cells look like?

HRV and live blood analysis conducted by Dr John
Ogden ND Harley Street London
I really was not expecting such a fast result.
This combination is amazing in what it can do for
your heart and cardiovascular system. I have
never seen anything like this in all my years of
practise
38
Whats in Heartfast that makes it so effective?

• 180 mg Allisure allicin powder
• 150 mg Omega 3, 6 powder

  secondary)
• Reduced risk of stroke
• No major side effects on massive doses

41
L-Arginine

• Reduces risk of heart disease
• Improves immune function
• Decreases blood pressure
• Improves blood supply to peripheral circulation
• Improves healing time of internal organs
• Small dose reduces side effect profile and
  interaction risk

42
Cayenne Pepper extract

• Reduces cardiovascular disease
• Reduces platelet aggregation
• Increases fibrinolytic activity
• Improves circulation significantly
• Reduces blood fats and cleans arteries
• Low dose minimises side effect profile

43
How much Heartfast do I take?

• Normal daily dose is 1-2 capsules
• Can be taken orally in capsule form OR added to
  any food you enjoy!

45
Should I stop taking Alligin?

• Alligin

• Candida
• Sinusitis and rhinitis
• Stomach upsets
• Limited effect on cardiovascular system

• Heartfast

NO take both
46
Remember that Heartfast can

• Improve the quality of your red blood cells
