An Introduction
A contributory factor to coronary degeneration is an unhealthy lifestyle, including diet, inadequate exercise, excess stress and many other aspects of modern-day living.
Coronary health can be supported with biochemical and nutritional factors, which may arrest or reverse the process of the degeneration of cardiac muscle, affecting the whole circulatory system

Before you start
The gut’s ability to absorb nutrients, whether it is from food or from the food state supplements, will be significantly improved if the body has first been cleansed of harmful toxins, and the intestinal tract replenished with healthy flora.

It is of particular benefit in today’s environment with our increased exposure to harmful toxins from so many sources. It is our recommendation to pre-empt any dietary/nutritional program with a cleanse, and to repeat it twice per year.

To this extent we recommend that before you start on your required formula you undertake our Detox Formula which involves 3 products that provide a very effective cleanse program that will enhance your health and wellbeing.

Additional Comment
It is important that attention is paid to the balance between acid-forming and alkali-forming foods. The optimum balance is around 60% alkali-forming to acid-forming. See Acid Forming and Alkali Forming guidelines.

Take plenty of fresh water. Good quality still mineral water from a glass container is the superior form; though a good tap filter is also satisfactory.

Sunlight is known to strengthen the heart, and increase its efficiency, enabling it to beneficially increase blood circulation.

Additional Help & Support
Exercise is essential, brisk walks being one of the best forms, the length of which should increase as fitness increases. Swimming and cycling are also very good forms of exercise.

Each individual has an optimum level of aerobic exercise. To determine this, take the maximum rate of 220, deduct your age, then deduct your pulse while resting, taken over a 1 minute period after sitting quietly for 15 minutes. Finally, multiply this figure by 0.60 and then add the resting pulse rate to arrive at optimum pulse rate that is also aerobic.

Exercise should be taken at least three times weekly for a minimum of 30 minutes.

Stress release is advisable. Many stress reduction methods are promoted, which include meditation, yoga, and other relaxation techniques. Emotional disturbance and imbalance can damage the heart and blood vessels. Happiness equates with health, and studies have proven that dietary misdemeanours can be overcome in a body that is healthy in spirit. The body is a self-healing organism; however, this ability can break down if the cells of the body are receiving anxious or emotionally disturbed messages from the mind.
