If you're battling high blood pressure, booze and bar munchies might be a
dangerous combination. Italian researchers found that heavy drinking increases
your body's sensitivity to salt, which in turn could raise your blood pressure.
The research suggests that cutting back on your alcohol intake and avoiding
salty snacks when you do imbibe may help keep high blood pressure under control.

This
month’s theme is men’s health. Now more than ever, the older a man becomes the
more he wants to perform like his younger counterparts. Many male supplements
are addressing such concerns as failing prostates, baldness, erectile
dysfunction, sexual support, heart health, and mental acuity. The first step is
eating a diet high in organic fruits and vegetables and low in fried, processed
junk food. Combine this with 30 to 45 minutes of daily exercise to sustain
overall wellness. After diet and exercise comes safe and effective nutritional
supplements as an addition to an overall healthy lifestyle plan. For the heart
choose herbs such as hawthorn and cayenne, formulas that contain TMG, B-6, B-12,
folic acid, red yeast rice, CoQ10, vitamin E, fish and flax oils. Mental acuity
is addressed with ginkgo biloba, gotu kola, periwinkle and phosphatidyl
choline. Prostate wellness involves saw palmetto, pygeum, lycopene, cornsilk
and pumpkin seed. Sexual support nutrients like yohimbe (not if you have high
blood pressure), muira puama, tribulus, suma, nettle, wild oats, damiana, zinc
and boron are very helpful. Remember to ask our fine staff at

Lets talk about hair! Many things contribute
to hair loss; hormone imbalance (testosterone overproduction) blocked follicles
and stress. You can help balance your hormones by eating a well balanced diet.
You can reduce your stress by finding a hobby or a sport that you can get really
into. Watch a ballgame or better yet go play a ballgame & take time for
yourself everyday, listen to music or whatever it takes to unwind. Last but not
least, please use sodium laurel sulfate-free shampoo. Sodium laurel sulfate can
block the hair follicle. GOD Bless You.

Our modern
lifestyles come scheduled with work,
family, leisure, & self all jostling for time. All too often, our bodies pay the
price. To build a healthy body, & more importantly to maintain it, a good supply
of nutrients are needed. I believe a healthy diet is necessary to help protect
us from disease. It ‘s important to get
protein, good fats, fiber, vitamins, minerals, & plenty of water in your diet.
Protein provides the body with nutrients essential to build muscle. Fat provides
stored energy for the body which is burned up when needed. Fiber helps to keep
us regular & cleanse the bowel. Vitamins help maintain everything from healthy
digestive & immune system, to good skin. Minerals play a key role in maintaining
body structures including hair, teeth, & bones. Water is the most important of
them all. Water makes up 50-70% of our total body weight. Water plays an
important role in the absorption of nutrients, our circulation, & the
elimination of waste material.

Speaking Words of Wisdom
Every man should begin or should base
his health regime on a multi-vitamin-mineral. Some of the best are wholefood
based, which means they actually contain concentrated real foods. Another
approach would be to get your vitamins and minerals from greens like chlorella,
barley grass, wheat grass etc., which are nature’s true superfoods.
“5GREENEST”
greens formula supplies every known vitamin and mineral and all eight important
enzymes. There are a lot of different types of supplements to enhance or tone
what men need most, like prostate, immune, and heart health. Herbs can
contribute greatly to enhance health and fitness levels like Siberian ginseng,
jiaogulan, schisandra, etc. These are tonic herbs that balance and strengthen
body functions. Look for
“Supreme Chi-Flow” tonic herb formula for natural energy and
immunity. Stay away from caffeine and other stimulants they make you weak in the
long run. Exercise and stress reduction techniques are just as important as
supplements for optimal health. Try to include moderate weight lifting and some
type of fitness regime into your daily lifestyle. Read to stimulate the mind and
meditate or go out to nature to balance the spirit.
Knowledge applied
is wisdom…
Nik Notes:
It can be very difficult for most men to talk about their
health. Illness may be interpreted as weakness, an attribute that men do not
find acceptable. How can we overcome this hurdle and still maintain our health
with no fear or apprehension? GET OVER IT! All of these rules for being a man
are out-dated and self-destructive. Look at the social advances that women have
made in the last century! As medicine advances it seems that women are more
likely to take an active approach in maintaining their own health, while most
men leave their health responsibility to their doctor or avoid it all together.
Why do women statistically live longer than men? Women know how to communicate;
they can relate their problems in a way that is pro-active, while most men will
tolerate their conditions until they can no longer be ignored. Think of your
health from your mother’s point of view, how would she feel if you died from
something you could have prevented! To improve communications, write down or
rehearse what you want to say beforehand, or just make out a list of problems.
Bring someone with you to the doctor or the health store if you need support.
No one knows your body better than you do, so speak up!
Silence is golden, but speaking is healthy!
