7 Ways You Could Help Your Heart
June 12th, 2010 By: Brittany
The American Heart Association has identified seven “simple” steps you can take for a healthy heart. But the road to better cardiovascular health will take some work.
“Life’s Simple 7” categorizes cardiovascular health as Poor, Intermediate, or Ideal in each of seven areas.
1. Never smoked or quit more than a year ago.
2. A healthy body mass index (BMI), an estimate of body fat determined by a formula using weight and height.
3. Physical activity, and the more the better. The new measure says at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity exercise is necessary for ideal health, or 75 minutes weekly of vigorous physical activity.
4. Blood pressure below 120/80.
5. Fasting blood glucose less than 100 milligrams/deciliter, a fasting measure of blood sugar level.
6. Total cholesterol of less than 200 milligrams/deciliter.
7. Eating a healthy diet. Four to five of the key components of a healthy diet are followed. For a 2,000-calorie diet, these include:
* At least 4.5 cups of fruits and vegetables per day
* At least two 3.5 oz. servings of fish per week, preferably oily fish
* At least three 1-ounce servings of fiber-rich whole grains per day
* Limiting sodium to less than 1,500 milligrams a day
* Drinking no more than 36 ounces weekly of sugar-sweetened beverages

Don’t Hold On To Hate
June 8th, 2010 By: Brittany
Hate is an extremely powerful emotion, and holding onto it can certainly cause you to feel ill and depressed. When you allow your energy to be suppressed you give no way for new energy to enter. This can deteriorate ones whole life. When healing with hatred its best to mediate and shift conscious to the opposite effect; love! Why? Because love is what frees all chains of hate and let’s us evolve further thru life in a positive form.
“Hate is an invisible chain.”
When you don’t let go of hate, you let the thing or person you hate maintain control over you. You allow the hatred to keep the channels of negative energy open, sucking out positive emotions and holding you back from true happiness.
Cut off the hate and move on! When you cleanse your mind and soul of grudges and negative thoughts, you make new room for positive emotions and joy. Take a moment today to consciously let go of all hatred. Savor the new energy that you’ll feel bursting through to take its place! Mediation For Woman
