Cheap Heart Health Is Not A Mystery

Good heart health does not have to be expensive. Mother Nature provides three cardiovascular cures/helpers which are surprisingly low in cost. Together all three can help you build up a weak heart and are guaranteed to provide additional benefits in preventing type II diabetes.

Cheap Heart Health Cure #1: Psyllium Husk.


Psyllium husk is a soluble fiber. It is also a complex carbohydrate. All this means is that the human body can not digest it so that once you eat it, it will be fermented in the large intestime and will yeild a wide range of heart-healthy benefits.  meaning it is an indigestible, complex carbohydrate. Among the benefits are appetite control, and control of your blood sugar and your body's insulin production.

Studies have shown that for each ten grams per day of fiber in your diet will give you approximately a 15 percent decrease in the risk of a heart attack. This proactive treatment also gives about a 25 percent decrease in death from heart disease.


Psyllium husk is also a great supplement because of its ability to help control blood sugars. Excess sugar in the blood stream can cause heart disease because it becomes "oxidized." This oxidation leads to a change in the molecular structure of sugars - causing what is known as advanced glycation end products or AGE-products. Like a knife carving clay, AGE products scar arterial walls. The scarring results in plague buildup and excess blood clotting. This mechanism is why diabetics have a 4.5 times increase of suffering from heart attack and stroke relative to non-diabetics.

Psyllium can be purchased for about $3 per month and the benefits it will give your body...? Priceless!

Cheap Heart Health Cure #2: B Vitamins.


B vitamins are absolutely imperative for proper brain and nervous system functions. The human body can not even replicate blood cells without B vitamins.

B vitamins are also involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, especially for proper DNA synthesis and regulation, but also for fatty acid synthesis and energy production. Harvard researchers writing in the Journal of the American Medical Association stated that women could cut their risk of heart disease by half with daily consumption of B vitamins.

The process of methylation, which rids the body of harmful homocysteine, is started by B vitamins. Without them this process can not occur and as the levels of homocysteine rises in the arteries the greater your chance of suffering from cardiovascular disease.

A daily B vitamin supplement should cost no more than $10 per month. The results? Priceless!

Cheap Heart Health Cure #1: Flavonoids.

Flavonoids are plant derived pigments. Over 4,000 have been studied for their cardiovascular and anti-cancer benefits. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recommends consuming at least 7.5 mg a day. This will help to decrease your chance of dying from heart disease by as much as 20 percent.

Flavonoids preserve the cardiovascular system and heart by improving blood flow. This in turn enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery throughout your entire body,and prevents the formation of artery-scarring, oxidized LDL. It also relaxes the coronary arteries to prevent high blood pressure.

Foods that are the best sources of flavonoids are broccoli, hawthorn, grapeseed extract, black tea, citrus fruits, and organic dark chocolate.

Using these three cardiovascular cures to preserve health rather than drugs is a wise investment. It could potentially save you thousands in drug costs.
