FROM MAYO CLINIC: Your Heart and Hydration

June 25, 2015 By Liz Pilotto

Heart Attack and Water:
A cardiologist determined that heart attacks can be triggered by dehydration.
Water and Aspirin should be good to go.
Drinking the water at the correct time is very important. This from a cardiac specialist: Drinking water at a certain time maximizes it’s effectiveness on the body.
*2 glasses of water after waking up (helps activate internal organs)
*1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal (helps digestion)
*1 glass of water before taking a bath (helps lower blood pressure)
*1 glass of water before going to bed (may help avoid stroke, heart attack and leg cramps)

Mayo Clinic on aspirin:
Dr. Virend Somers is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic. He is the lead author of this report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 am and 12 noon. Having one during the night, when at rest, means that something unusual happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. Aspirin has a 24-hour “half-life”. Most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning. The aspirin will be at it’s morning peak by taking it at night.

2. Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. This works faster than a tablet. Besides in your medicine cabinet, keep aspirin by your bedside, in the car, at work and at play. It’s about heart attacks.

RMHealthy.com. – 10 signs of a heart attack plus a few more
*Suffocating of Restriction
*Shortness of Breath
*Dizziness
*Sweating
*Feel like Flu or Cold coming on
*Nausea
*Vomiting
*Panic Attacks
*Tired or Fatiqued
*Pain in Chest area
*Shoulder or Arm pain
*Trouble Sleeping
*Intense Pain on the Chin

There may be  NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had  heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if a heart attack occurs you may wake up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards call 911. Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by. Say “heart attack and that you have taken 2 aspirins. Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door. DO NOT LIE DOWN.

A Cardiologist has stated that if each person shares this with 10 people one life could be saved!

Now, no need to panic, right? It is important to remember heart attack prevention. Along with hydration, a heart healthy diet, plenty of exercise and supplementation it may be possible to prevent a heart attack or stroke.

Sweetening The Low Glycemic Way

June 15, 2015 By Liz Pilotto

Glycemic index is a measurement of glucose in a particular food that is released over a two to three hour period. Foods low on on the GI scale release glucose slowly and steady so to prevent a sudden spike in blood sugar. Only foods that contain carbs cause this spike; protein and fats do not. Protein and fats are considered to have a zero glycemic index.
Another way to reduce the glycemic index of sweet recipes is to use almond flour, a protein, to help keep a more level blood sugar level.
All sweeteners should be eaten in moderation because of the increased risk of weight gain, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancers.

Low Glycemic Sweeteners

Stevia – 0 Glycemic index
This is an herb 300 times sweeter than sugar. Having a slight aftertaste I always mix it with other sweeteners.

Yacon – 1 Glycemic index
This is from the Yacon plant. This complex sugar is broken down slowly and is considered a prebiotic for gut health. This reminds me of a lighter molasses. Has a date-prune taste. I like mixing this with stevia for a very low glycemic recipe.

Agave – 15 Glycemic index
Agave is from a cactus plant. It is lighter than honey, but similar in taste. A good brand is Madhava raw organic agave.

Brown Rice Syrup – 25 Glycemicu index
Made from boiled brown rice. Thick and light colored like honey. It is pretty sweet.

Lucuma – 25 Glycemic index
Made from the lacuna fruit. Tastes a bit like maple syrup.

Raw Honey – 30 Glycemic index
Being sweeter than sugar you can use less.

Coconut Palm Sugar – 35 Glycemic index
This evaporated sap is from the coconut tree and tastes slightly like brown sugar with similar texture.

Maple Syrup – 54 Glycemic Index

Date Sugar – 68 Glycemic index
Made from dehydrated dates, retaining the nutritional benefits of dates. Not being processed or refined it is considered a healthier option. I love to make my own date paste out of fresh dates. This is guaranteed to blend well in a recipe.

In most of my recipes I combine the higher glycemic sweeteners with stevia. This  mimics a more sugary taste and helps keep costs down with some of the other sweeteners being more costly.

Another way to pack a recipe full of flavor is using Young Living Essential Oils.
Using the essential oils gives such an intense flavor less sweetener can be used.
I love to use Lemon, Lime, Orange, Tangerine, Citrus Fresh, Grapefruit, Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg, Clove, Cardamon, Ginger, Lavender, Peppermint, Spearmint, Rosemary in all my sweet baking recipes. It makes a flavor that will not be duplicated with extracts. Only a few drops is needed in most recipes.

Keep an eye out on www.sanodivita.com for some new sweet treats using brown rice syrup and Lucuma powder.
