HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE
Most of us are aware, hypertension (high blood pressure) is a very dangerous condition and is the major cause of heart attack and strokes. Most people who suffer from this condition go to the Doctor and are put onto BP lowering drugs and are placed on a very low fat diet.
In fact the drugs are very dangerous and do not get at the root cause of the problem which is a hardening of the arterial walls. The cholestrol is the substance that the body uses to make the arterial walls smoother, so that the blood can pass through much easier. The arterial walls get damaged and ripped in places and the cholesterol acts as a kind of plaster.
Therefore the real problem is the inflexibility of the arterial walls and therefore the body sends more 'repair kit' in the form of plaque or cholesterol.
It was only in the 1990s that a team of scientists discovered that the body produces nitric oxide (NO).
The scientists discovered that not only does the body produce nitric oxide, but that its function within the body is critical to the maintenance of supple arteries: they discovered that nitric oxide is a powerful vasodilator - this simply means that it keeps the large arteries open and maintains their smooth 'Teflon' like surface so that blood can flow normally. This research culminated in them winning the Nobel Prize for Medicine 1998.
We know that when the arteries become stiff and deposited with plaque and other fatty substances, the body is much more likely to suffer thrombis, heart attack or stroke. It is generally accepted that stiffening of the arteries is a fact of life - all part of the ageing process. We now have evidence that taking the right supplement can not only stop this process of stiffening but in many cases reverse it.
We are now distributing YOUTHENAL - and the main constituent is L-arginine - which works by enabling the body to produce nitric oxide, known as the "Nitric Oxide Pathway", which is now recognised as essential for keeping not only the cardiovascular system functioning properly, but also the brain and other organs in the body.
If you have any form of cardio vascular problem, you will almost certainly benefit from taking YOUTHENAL.
If you are fit, healthy and over 45 and have normal arteries for your age, you should also benefit from taking YOUTHENAL.This is what a daily serving contains:
* L-arginine 3.5g
* L- lysine 0.3g
* L-proline 0.15g
* Vitamin C 180 omg
* Vitamin E 14.4mg
* Vitamin B3 (Niacin) 8.64mg
* Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) 0.67mg
* Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) 0.96mg
* Biotin 0.07mg
* Vitamin B5 (Panthotenic acid) 2.9mg
* Folic Acid µg96
* Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) 0.67mg
* Calcium 0.18mg
* Magnesium 36.0mg
* Phospherous 48.0mg

EGGS ARE GOOD FOR US AND CONTAIN VITAL NUTRIENTS
Here we go again. After years of telling us that EGGS are bad for us and are laden with Salmonella, someone has now decided to tell us the truth.
We have known for years that eggs are a wonderful food source for humans. As this article will reveal, the humble egg is loaded with vital vitamins and is NOT a cause of bad cholesterol.
Eggs are packed with nutrients and are relatively low in calories and easy to obtain, here are some reasons why eggs should be part of a balanced, healthy diet.
Protein
Eggs are a rich source of high quality protein. A medium sized egg has more than 6g of protein, and contains all eight of the essential amino acids which can only be obtained from your diet.
They are also virtually free of carbohydrates. The high protein content of eggs may also help with that hungry feeling people get very often after eating hollow carbs Eggs help you feel full for longer than other foods and are low in calories; around just 80 calories per medium sized egg.
Fats
Eggs are thought to be very high in fat. But a medium sized egg contains around 6g of fat, and only 1.7g of this is saturated fat, the type associated with high cholesterol levels, heart disease and stroke. Most of the fats in eggs are the healthier monosaturated or polysaturated kinds.
Cholesterol
When it comes to cholesterol, eggs have had a very bad press over the years. High blood cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, and egg yolks are rich in cholesterol. However, it's now known that saturated fats play a major role, whereas cholesterol-containing foods such as eggs and prawns have little effect on blood cholesterol levels.
If you want to lower your cholesterol levels, especially bad LDL-cholesterol, cut back on foods containing saturated fats such as fatty meats, sausages, pastries, cakes, and refined cereals and other processed foods. Butter is actually better for us than processed margarine according to many health experts.
Vitamin D
Many of us are deficient in this vital vitamin. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, important for healthy bones and teeth. It is also vital for blood pressure.
Our bodies produce vitamin when exposed to sunlight, but egg yolks, along with oily fish are also rich in vitamin D.
Adults deficient in vitamin D are at a greater risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Other studies have linked vitamin D deficiency to serious health problems including cancer and multiple sclerosis.
B vitamins
Eggs are a great source of vitamin B12, needed for making red blood cells, maintaining the nervous system and for general growth. Too little vitamin B12 can lead to anaemia.
Eggs are also a good source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which helps the body absorb iron and is important for healthy skin, nails and hair.
Choline
Eggs are a brain food, as they are one of the richest sources of choline, needed for healthy brain development and function. The yolk from a medium sized egg contains around 300mg of choline. Most of the choline we need comes from our diet.
Choline is used by the body to form the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, involved in memory function. Low levels of choline can lead to a deficiency in folic acid, also important for a healthy brain. Choline plays an important role in the brain development of the unborn child and also helps prevent birth defects.
Carotenoids
Egg yolks contain lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids which may help lower the risk of macular degeneration, the most common cause of sight loss in the UK. Research also suggests that the lutein from eggs is more readily taken up by the body than from other types of food.
So yet again, we can see that FALSE INFORMATION has deprived Millions of a healthy cheap food that can be cooked and eaten in many different ways.
Oh and by the way, the so called Salmonella outbreaks over the years and merely because the microbe resides on the outer shell and not inside the egg. So if you are concerned about salmonella in eggs, just wash the shell before you crack it.
