It’s hard to believe that your body actually needs it when cholesterol has so much bad press. There are two categories of cholesterol in your body, good cholesterol also known as HDL cholesterol, and bad cholesterol or LDL cholesterol. Cholesterol in your body is necessary to create hormones, vitamin D and bile salts in order to stay healthy.

On the other hand, the bad cholesterol could cause you various problems. The main worry with LDL cholesterol is that it could deposit cholesterol onto artery walls that will make plaque. The plaque in turn will make the arteries to narrow and then block. This may be the cause of blood flow to be blocked, which is not good news for your heart.

There are a lot of confusing terms being said when it comes to cholesterol. One of those terms is dietary cholesterol. You might believe that every dietary cholesterol is bad, but in fact dietary cholesterol does not raise blood cholesterol as high as you could believe. The two bad guys here are saturated fats and trans fatty acids.

So what you need to do when you think of cholesterol problems is to decrease your levels of bad cholesterol. The best way to do this is through dietary changes. In addition to reducing foods with bad cholesterol such as meat, eggs, dairy and seafood, you can also eat various foods that would decrease LDL levels.

The Banana Diet

banana and milk diet

The banana diet is 1 of the best and easiest ways to help boost your weight loss efforts. It appears there are many versions of this diet… and I also have a version of this diet. A lot of the other versions of this diet just seem plain silly and not very practical.

Here’s an easy to use version that will give you slow, steady weight loss. This is not an extreme diet like you may think.

You may think that the banana diet consists of eating just bananas all day. Wrong! Obviously that isn’t very practical or smart. There is just 1 main rule to this diet and another general rule…

Rule #1: Eat 1-2 bananas before each meal… minimum of 3 times a day.

Very simple, huh? Not much to think about. If you eat, you’re going to eat 1-2 bananas before your meal. Practical, easy, healthy, and not much to remember.

Before breakfast, eat 2 bananas. Before lunch, eat 2 bananas. Before dinner, eat 1 banana. So you eat 5 total bananas a day.

Rule #2: Eat whatever you want for meals.

This rule is simple… eat whatever you want, just as long as you eat 2 bananas before breakfast, 2 bananas before lunch, and 1 banana before dinner. Obviously eating healthier than normal would help your weight loss efforts even more, but it’s not 100% necessary.

Bonus Rule: You can replace 1 banana with an apple before breakfast and lunch.

As mentioned, you can replace a banana with an apple before breakfast and lunch. This is to help relieve possible boredom. Nothing more.

I honestly don’t know how much weight you will lose on this or any other diets that use bananas, however you should notice a steady weight loss. It won’t be extremely fast, so if that’s what you’re looking for… forget the banana diet.

If you’re SICK and TIRED of getting the same old boring weight loss advice… you know, like “Eat more fruits and vegetables, drink 8 glasses of water, jog, and blah blah blah”, then…

Banana Diet - 5 Tips For Success

The Banana Diet is achieving global success. Could this simple diet be the weight loss system you’re looking for? Achieve success with our five tips.

Breakfast bananas are the heart of the Banana Diet. Basically, that’s the entire diet: eat raw bananas and sip water for breakfast.

1. Forget it’s a “diet”

Essentially with the Banana Diet, you can eat normally for the rest of the day. This is what makes the diet so appealing: no weighing, no counting calories, no special foods.

The Banana Diet has no special requirements, and for people new to this simple weight loss system, it’s a little TOO simple. They want to complicate things.

Just forget that it’s a diet and eat your bananas for breakfast.

2. Eat your bananas and sip water for breakfast

If you’re not used to eating breakfast, the Banana Diet does require an adjustment. However, as with everything on this diet, it’s easy. If you don’t have time to eat breakfast, put your bananas into a bag, and eat them in the car, or when you arrive at work.

Don’t forget to sip room temperature water as you eat your breakfast bananas.

You’ll find that two bananas leave you feeling quite full, and the full feeling lasts until lunch. If you’re used to a snack at mid morning, you’ll find that you’re just not hungry when snack time arrives.

3. Eat normally for lunch and dinner

There are no special requirements for your other meals, just eat as you normally would.

4. Eat dinner before 8PM

There’s no food after 8PM, so if you’re working late, take time to eat before 8PM comes around. You shouldn’t eat anything else until you eat breakfast tomorrow.

5. Go to bed by midnight

You’ll look forward to bedtime on this diet; bananas relax you, and you won’t have any trouble falling to sleep at all.

So there you have five tips for success on the Banana Diet.

Emory University Hospital continues its strong commitment
of addressing heart disease before its development by
guiding patients to a healthier way of life for themselves
and the ones they love.

This includes adding heart-healthy supplements into your diet,
like Omega-3 fish oil and Coenzyme Q 10.

With this commitment, Emory
University now offers a comprehensive Preventive Cardiology
Clinic through their Heart & Vascular Center.
Preventative Cardiology Atlanta
Those with a history of heart attacks in their family,
obesity, high blood pressure, or little or no exercise or
high cholesterol levels, are very likely candidates at risk
of a heart attack. Cardiac rehabilitation is the best form
of prevention and is important in preventing the number one
killer of Americans. For existing heart patients, cardiac
rehabilitation is meant to help them recover quickly and
improve their overall physical and mental functioning.
Preventative Cardiology at Emory
Emory University Hospital offers a variety of programs
meant for those who are at risk for heart disease; may
already have it, or just want to learn more about it. More information is available on Emory’s website on these
programs including classes and other informative links on
how one can start getting healthier today.

Counseling is a key component of any successful cardiac
rehabilitation program. With counseling, a patient is helped in alleviating the risk
factors described above, such as high cholesterol, smoking,
high blood pressure and others. At Emory Heart and
Vascular, programs include designing an exercise program,
supplying information on physical limitations and lending
emotional support to the patient.

Cardiac rehabilitation is not only integral in the
prevention of heart disease, but it may also help in
managing diabetes, osteoporosis in women, particular types
of cancer, and even chronic low back pain. Even those who
are not at risk may find the information useful for boosting
energy, losing weight and promoting overall good health.
Preventing Heart Disease
The Emory Heart & Vascular Center is dedicated to providing
clinically excellent cardiovascular patient care, promoting
overall heart health, pioneering innovative clinical
research, and training the best heart specialists in the

Here’s another interesting article on the benefits of fish oil, that appeared in CNN’s Health Minute Report.

You can read about how important fish oils, and in particular, the Omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils are, to the health of your cells. After reading this, you will likely agree that the ways in which fish oil benefits your health, makes it easy to realize you should be taking this critical source of Omega-3’s right away.

Enjoy the article, and if you want to read more about Omega-3 fish oil, check out this page on Miley Labs’ website>>

I have an interesting article from the Mayo Clinic for you to read today–discussing the ways in which fish oil benefits your heart and entire cardiovascular system.

As you would imagine, the Mayo Clinic does not endorse using fish oil in place of other medical treatments to address heart disease–however, that is really beyond the scope of what fish oil would do, anyway.

The best use of fish oil, and in particular Omega-3 fatty acids, in my opinion, is to incorporate it into your health program as a means of preventing health complications, and as a way of maintaining your best health.

I am going to appear biased here, but I really do encourage you to take Omega-3 fatty acids as a fish oil supplement, each and every day–and I happen to strongly recommend our Miley Labs Super Omega-3 fish oil--because I know it is free from mercury, heavy metals, pollutants and unwanted contaminants and I know it is an excellent product. You can read all about it here>>

You are welcome to shop around for a different fish oil, but I really don’t think you can find a better quality product, for a better value, than you can with our Super Omega-3 fish oil.

Here’s the link  again to the Mayo Newsletter….have a good look at it.

Scientific research supports the absolutely amazing ways in which fish oil benefits your health.

If you have been paying attention to magazine articles, scientific studies and health journals, you will notice that more and more people are identifying Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil being indispensable to good health. You also may have noticed that, with increased levels of pollution in our lakes and oceans, finding clean sources of fish oil is not an easy task.

Here are 7 of the top benefits fish oil has to offer you, followed by a list of 3 fish oil supplements that are purified and safe for daily use. Here are the benefits of fish oil:

1. Reduce inflammation and diminish pain: Omega-3 fatty acids found in cold water fish oils, greatly reduce inflammation in the body. In particular, EPA (a component of Omega-3 oils) has a positive effect on inflammation, and helps to reduce inflammatory conditions in your body, such as joint pain, arthritis, prostate problems and a host of other benefits.

2. Cardiovascular and Heart Health: Omega-3 fatty acids help sooth inflammation along the network of arteries, capillaries and vessels that make up your circulatory system. Recent studies have supported evidence that fish oils can promote lower blood pressure, by naturally relaxing vessels and slightly thinning your blood. For heart protection alone, taking fish oil each day is a must!

3.Protects against Depression: Medical researchers have found daily supplements of Omega-3 fish oils have helped minimize the effects of depression, bi-polar disorders and other forms of mental imbalance. There may be a link between your brain’s “feel-good” chemical production, and the availability of Omega-3 fatty acids.

4. Supports Brain Development and Intelligence: Developing babies, in the womb, require elements from Omega-3 fatty acids for healthy brain development. It is wise for pregnant women to consider a clean source of fish oil (see “Resources” below) during pregnancy–one that is free from contaminants and mercury. Also, for adults, Omega-3 fish oils support improved cognitive function, provide better focus abilities and memory support.

5. Decrease Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke: Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown, through medical research, to break-up clots in the blood that can otherwise clog an artery or vessel, leading to a heart attack or stroke. As mentioned before, fish oils lubricate and thin the blood, slightly, which also benefits the your circulatory system.
6. Reduces Risk of the Most Common Cancers: colon, breast, prostate.
Medical research shows that Omega-3 Fish Oils can reduce your risk of these types of cancer, by promoting healthy cell replication, slowing the reproduction of cancerous cells and by making sure abnormal cells are destroyed quickly and removed from the body, before they take root as a cancer.
7. ADHD, ADD and other Childhood Disorders: these respond well to fish oil, and it is now evident that giving Omega-3 supplements to children with these behavioral traits can help them find a greatly improved quality of life.

RESOURCES: if you are looking for a clean source of Omega-3 fatty acids, one that has any measurable levels of heavy metal, PCB’s, pesticides and other contaminants removed from it, then we recommend you look at these three supplement manufacturers:

1. Miley Labs Enteric coated fish oil. Used Clinically. Contaminant free. No fishy smell or taste. Available online at www.MileyLabs.com.
2. Nordic Naturals Omega Oils. Available in most health food stores.
3. Carlson Fish Oils. Also available through some specialty health food stores.

Fish oil benefits your health in so many ways–get started today.

Not a pleasant thing, a fishy tasting belch. Not at all.

And I mention this because it just happened to me!

How did this disgraceful thing happen to me, you ask. Well, let me tell you. About twenty minutes ago I took an Omega-3 fish oil capsule, but it wasn’t the kind I usually take–I ran out of my usual capsules, and grabbed another brand I had in the refrigerator.

Now I am belching fishy after-taste. Uggghhh.

So, here’s the Secret To Avoiding Fishy Burps: make sure you purchase a fish oil capsule that says “Enteric Coated“. This means the capsule will not break down in your stomach where it can repeat on you (the fancy term for you burping fishy flavors), and instead makes it to your small intestine where it breaks down and is digested, keeping your from having fishy repeats.

My normal brand is (no surprise) my Miley Labs brand of Enteric Coated, molecularly distilled Super Omega-3 fish oil. Guaranteed not to repeat of have an aftertaste.

I can tell you, it sure is my preference to take my fish oil capsules once, and not have them talk to me for the next hour.

Remember: Enteric Coated, molecularly distilled. Two terms you need to know if you want to have pure, digestion-friendly fish oils.

Are you looking to lower your blood pressure naturally?

Well, it seems that a moderate amounts of daily Omega-3 fish oil(3-4 grams of oil) has a mild blood pressure reducing effect.

According to an article written by Drs. Maxine Barish-Wrenden and Kay Judge (September 13th ed. , McClatchy Newspapers) Omega-3 fish oils can lower blood pressure naturally, as quoted from small and recent studies conducted by Medical Researches, concluding this very thing.

What is also known about the Omega-3 fish oil from fish deals with its positive action on cardiovascular health, its ability to slightly thin the blood (which reduces the risk of stroke from undesired blood clots), and its overall anti-inflammatory effect on the entire body. Likely this anti-inflammatory, blood thinning and vessels support combination results in the observed decrease in blood pressure.

Drs. Barish-Wrenden and Judge also go on to list additional foods that seem to lower blood pressure naturally, and for the folk medicine fans out there, you’ll likely have most of these items at hand in your cupboard:

• Fish oil (EPA/DHA) has been shown in several small studies to modestly lower blood pressure; doses used were 3-4 grams of EPA/DHA per day (also good for your heart and triglyceride levels).
• Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). This plant-based precursor to EPA/DHA is found in flaxseed, canola and soybean oils, walnuts, green leafy veggies and chocolate (yes!). Higher dietary levels of ALA are associated with lower blood pressure.
• Protein and fiber. One small study in Australia showed that soy protein and soluble fiber (psyllium) together produced a significant drop in blood pressure.
• Extra-virgin olive oil seems to have a positive effect on reducing blood pressure.
• Garlic. Several small studies have shown that the dried garlic product Kwai can modestly lower blood pressure.
• Coenzyme Q10, 60-100 mg twice daily, has been shown to lower blood pressure.
• Yoga, qigong, meditation and other forms of relaxation can lower blood pressure in some individuals.
• The polyphenols in chocolate (especially dark chocolate) can also help to lower blood pressure–with this remedy, you’ll need to account for chocolate calories as part of your overall daily intake of calories. One ounce of dark chocolate per day seems to be enough.
