Incidence of Heart Disease

• About 600,000 people die of heart disease in the
  United States every yearthats 1 in
  every 4 deaths.1
• Heart disease is the leading cause of death for
  both men and women. More than half of the deaths
  due to heart disease in 2009 were in men.1
• Coronary heart disease is the most common type of
  heart disease, killing more than 385,000 people
  annually.1
• Every year about 715,000 Americans have a heart
  attack. Of these, 525,000 are a first heart
  attack and 190,000 happen in people who have
  already had a heart attack.2
• Coronary heart disease alone costs the United
  States 108.9 billion each year.3 This total
  includes the cost of health care services,
  medications, and lost productivity.

Symptoms of Heart Disease in Men

• Chest pain alone or when combined with
• Sweating
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea, vomiting
• Pain that spreads from chest to neck , jaw, arms
• Dizziness, lightheadedness
• Fast or irregular heart beat
• Loss of consciousness jo

Symptoms of Heart Disease in Women

• Often less specific
• Fatigue
• Trouble sleeping
• Anxiety
• Difficulty breathing
• Indigestion
• If you suspect you are having a heart attack,
  chew an aspirin and call 911 jo

One more common symptom of heart attack in both
men and women

• Sudden Death!

Heart Disease is an Inflammatory Disease
Every culture that adopts our Western diet
eventually develops all our Western
diseases. Michael Pollan In Defense of Food
What causes inflammation?
Obesity
High fat foods

• Insulin (produced when we eat
  carbohydrates)

Americans at Risk

• High blood pressure, high LDL cholesterol, and
  smoking are key risk factors for heart disease.
  About half of Americans (49) have at least one
  of these three risk factors.7
• Several other medical conditions and lifestyle
  choices can also put people at a higher risk for
  heart disease, including
• Diabetes
• Overweight and obesity
• Poor diet
• Physical inactivity
• Excessive alcohol use

Rusty Ost, RPh( Registered Pharmacist )Senior
Executive Coordinator

• Family history of heart disease -- Both parents
  died from Coronary Heart Disease ( stroke and
  heart attack )
• In college my cholesterol was 360 and no one
  cared.
• It got as high as 480 pre-Shaklee (and
  pre-statins)
• I've gotten it down as low as 153 using
  supplements and currently it is about 160.

Quadruple Bypass Surgery March, 2000

• In March of 2000 I had quadruple bypass
  (4XCABG) because I had angina pain and I failed
  my stress test.  
• Following my surgery, the cardiologist told me
  the 4 major arteries of my heart
  were blocked 100 (he brought the plug
  out to show June!), 99, 97 and 93.
• We spoke about why I wasn't dead. I told him
  about my supplementation, and he particularly
  liked the EFAs (Essential Fatty Acids). He told
  me they probably saved my life as I should have
  died of a heart attack 15 years previously. The
  EFA's kept my blood cells so "slick" they
  couldn't stick to each other and cause a problem.
• My cholesterol at the time of my surgery was 228
  because I had been cheating!  I compare it to
  driving 10 mph over the speed limit for a long
  time and pretty soon it becomes a habit.  My
  diet was the same. rusty

Risk Factor 1 -- Maintaining Ideal Weight

• Obesity causes the most serious risks for heart
  disease
• Elevated triglycerides
• Elevated blood sugar
• Elevated total cholesterol
• Elevated LDL ( bad) cholesterol
• Lower HDL ( good cholesterol )
• Inflammation jo

11
Obesity Strains The Heart

• The heart is the one muscle in the body that
  never rests. It must pump blood to every corner
  of the body .. To bring oxygen and nutrients to
  every cell.
• The bigger the body, the harder the heart must
  work until eventually the walls of the heart
  become thicker and then weaker and then
  eventually fail.

Why Shaklee 180 Works

• Leucine in smoothees and bars body uses to
  build and repair muscle
• EGCG , a component of green tea, body uses to
  burn fat.
• Metabolic Boost increases bodys ability to burn
  calories by 30.
• Stevia not only safe, but has health benefits (
  blood pressure, blood sugar, etc)unlike many
  diet products with saccharides ( cause
  bladder cancer ), aspartame ( breaks down into
  neurotoxins), sucralose ( metabolizes to
  organochlorides )
• No artificial anything unlike most diet
  programs
• Chromium, vanadium, and banaba leaf extract help
  you retain normal blood sugar levels, which in
  turn help keep your energy up and your metabolism
  going strong.

17
How much omega 3 fatty acids?

• If you have never had a heart attack
• And have no family history of heart disease
• American Heart Association recommends
• 500 mg omega 3s
• Exactly what you get in Vitalizer
• But
• If you have had a heart attack or a family
  history
• 1000 to 2000 mg is recommended
• So add 3 to 6 Omega Guard rusty

18
To lower risks for heart diseaseRisk Factor 3
-- Cholesterol Oxidation

• Get serious about our diet
• EAT FRUITS VEGETABLES
• Cholesterol is not a problem until it is
  oxidized
• Nature gives us ANTIOXIDANTS to help prevent
  oxidation of LDL cholesterol which becomes
  PLAQUE
• C, E, carotenoids, flavonoids help prevent
  oxidation
• REDUCE FATS (but just the bad ones)
  barb

19
2/3 of Your CholesterolIs Produced By Your Body

• What triggers your liver to produce cholesterol?
• Saturated fats and trans fats
• Lack of dietary fiber
• And INSULIN
• Which means our addiction to sweets, baked
  goods and high glycemic foods is a major
  contributor to heart disease! barb

20
Grain Brain by Neurologist David Perlmutter

• Chapter 3 Beware cholesterol levels getting too
  low.
• Low levels of cholesterol have been associated
  with increased risk for Parkinsons Disease.
• LDL ( the so-called bad cholesterol)-- is
  essential to transport cholesterol to the neurons
  of the brain for proper brain function.
• When LDL cholesterol becomes oxidized, it loses
  its ability to perform this function and
  increases the risk for atherosclerosis (
  hardening of the arteries ).
• Sugar and refined carbs increase rate of
  oxidation (causing 50 fold increase in free
  radical formation ) and plaque formation
  barb

LDL is not the enemy.
Carbs Free Radicals Are.
21
Refined Carbohydrates Are A Greater Threat to
Heart Disease Than Fats

• Harvard Study Comparing Progression of Heart
  Disease in Post-Menopausal women.
• Women who ate more saturated fat had less
  disease progression. Those who ate more refined
  carbohydrates got worse.
• Another study --
• Risk for a heart attack was higher in patients
  who replaced saturated fat with refined
  carbohydrates.
• Sugar is particularly bad because it increases
  arterial inflammation, insulin levels and blood
  pressure. It also elevates triglycerides, one of
  the main heart disease risk factors.

Pharmaceutical Medical Industry Focused on
Cholesterol

• 25 of people over 45 on statin drugs ( 36
  million )
• Expected to double to 30 or 72 million with new
  guidelines ( from American Heart Association )
• 86 of people over age 65 are on statin drugs
• 102 million have high cholesterol levels
• goal -- HDL over 45 to 60
• LDL under 100 130 from CDC

The Great Cholesterol Myth Why Lowering Your
Cholesterol Wont Prevent Heart Disease and
Statin-Free Plan That Will Jonny Bowden,
PhD, CNS

• Harvard Nurses Health Study found 82 of heart
  attacks and other coronary events were linked
  to
• Smoking Excessive alcohol consumption
• Obesity Lack of exercise
• Poor diet NOT high cholesterol
• The type of LDL cholesterol .. The pattern is
  more significant.
• Pattern A is fluffy and does not cause
  atherosclerosis.
• Pattern B is prone to oxidizing into plaque.
• Pattern B people need a statin.. Could save their
  life
• Pattern A people dont barb

24
Statin Drugs

• Stabilize plaque
• Thin the blood ( so do Omega 3 fatty acids)
• Are anti-inflammatory ( so are Omega 3 Fatty
  Acids)
• Overall, statins dont do much for primary
  prevention (preventing a heart attack in patients
  who dont have existing heart disease.)
• If youre generally healthy and your only
  symptom is high cholesterol, you probably dont
  need a statin or any other cholesterol-lowering
  drug. J. Bowden barb

25
Side Effects of Statin Drugs

• Statin drugs block production of important
  liver enzymes
• Statins block an enzyme that produces cholesterol
  when insulin levels are high ( thats good )
• They also block Coenzyme Q10 ( thats bad)
• Co Q 10 is needed for energy and cardiovascular
  health
• Recommended to boost heart function, repair
  heart damage and protect against congestive heart
  failure
• Important for cognitive function
• -- memory loss/ confusion
• -- digestive problems
• -- increased risk for diabetes barb

26
Most Serious Side Effect of Statins

• Muscle pain and weakness
• If ignored, can cause kidney failure.

86 of Americans over age 65 are on statin
drugs. barb

Early Action is Key

• Knowing the warning signs and symptoms of a heart
  attack is key to preventing
  death, but many people dont know the signs.
• In a 2005 survey, most respondents92recognized
  chest pain as a symptom of a heart attack. Only
  27 were aware of all major symptoms and knew to
  call 9-1-1 when someone was having a heart
  attack.5
• About 47 of sudden cardiac deaths occur outside
  a hospital. This suggests that many people with
  heart disease don't act on early warning signs.6
• Heart attacks have several major warning signs
  and symptoms
• Chest pain or discomfort.
• Upper body pain or discomfort in the arms, back,
  neck, jaw, or upper stomach.
• Shortness of breath.
• Nausea, lightheadedness, or cold sweats. CDC
