A 2007 meta analysis of all Q10 clinical trials relating to blood pressure showed that Q10 is indeed a helpful nutrient for blood pressure fitness. It is well known that Q10 is highly concentrated in the heart and a great nutrient to support the energy production needs of the heart. An efficiently working heart muscle is required for optimal blood...

Many individuals have particular needs that indicate they can benefit from more comprehensive blood pressure support nutrition. For example, if you cannot follow The Leptin Diet then nutrients contained in the Leptin Control Pack are likely to help you do so and thus manage weight more effectively, in turn having a synergistic value for blood pressure...

In the process of normal metabolism, nerves must stimulate stored fat (white adipose tissue). However, if a person is overweight then nerves tend to excessively stimulate stored fat because that fat is somewhat numb and less metabolically responsive. Extra nerve drive is a form of stress to the kidneys that can strain blood pressure fitness. The kidneys...

The lymph system has no direct pump; it runs on body movement and muscle contractions, and indirectly relies on the heart to maintain force of pressure on lymph movement. If you are not consistently active, your heart has to work harder to keep lymph moving. Problems on this "back end" of the circulatory system may promote fluid retention, vein stress,...

Adiponectin, like leptin, is a hormone made in your white adipose tissue. It has several properties that support healthy blood sugar metabolism. It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory in white adipose tissue to help keep white adipose tissue in a good state of fitness. It also signals your liver in a way that supports healthy insulin function. Adequate...

Your heart never gets time off for a vacation. Made up of four chambers, your heart is synchronized by nervous system control. The challenges you must overcome to keep your heart in optimal working condition are wear and tear to your heart's structure and its energy producing systems, and stress. A startling array of new science is showing that the...

The Center for Disease Control is alarmed that obesity may make it much more difficult to fight off the swine flu. Of ten severely ill swine flu patients at a Michigan Hospital, nine of them were obese. None of these patients have fully recovered. “What this suggests is that there can be severe complications associated with this virus infection,...

A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that men taking fish oil lost the most weight while on a diet, an additional 3 pounds over 8 weeks (for a total of 10 pounds). Eating salmon was also helpful.

2009 was a busy year as gene-related exploration tools opened up a treasure trove of new discoveries. We've learned why some of the obvious good health habits, like getting enough sleep and exercise are more important than ever, and we've learned new things about health that were barely imagined even a year ago. Many of the following stories are feature...

A unique strain of mouse was bred to have no insulin receptors on its bone-building osteoblasts, although it had insulin receptors every place else. The mouse became fat. As it aged it grew even fatter and its blood sugar levels shot up and it developed severe insulin resistance. The mouse was treated with osteocalcin and the problems reversed....

Healthy veins are essential to cardiovascular health; millions of Americans suffer from chronic venous insufficiency or have early warning signs of vein problems.

In a rather sobering study scientists have demonstrated that a high-fat diet has the potential to drastically alter the architecture of the brain, resulting in poor circulation within the brain, down-regulated metabolism, and outright brain damage in areas of the brain central to appetite regulation. The implications of the study are that once a person...
