Heart Nutrition Notes Nutrient Function Calcium • Controls the contraction part of the heart. It • is part of the 4 main electrolytes. • The calcium scan is • • • • • the best indicator of prediction of heart attacks. This is because calcium acts as a band-aid to heal the arteries. Doctors prescribe calcium channel blockers to rid the soft tissue calcium. Excess soft tissue calcium is a vitamin K2 deficiency. Calcium is only absorbed in a more acid medium (which is why people who have digestive problems can’t absorb it) Vitamin D increases the absorption by 20x and raises it in the blood. Vitamin F also helps absorbs calcium into the tissues and skin Significance TOO MUCH • Stones pain • Bone pain • Abdominal • Polyuria • Depression heart • Increased contraction gastric • Increased ulcers sodium • Decreased (muscle fatigue) - Calcifies arteries, brain, joints, heart valves… - Is really a K2 deficiency - Could be low stomach acids RISKS: 10X Atrial Fib 5X Stroke 3x Heart Attack 5X Blood Pressure 25X Kidney Stones 4X GERD people take • Many calcium carbonate, the wrong type TOO LOW • Bruising & needles (mouth, • Pins lips, extremities) • Tetany spasm • Laryngeal • Arrhythmias • ECG - leg cramps is the first sign of low calcium Where you get it Calcium is the easiest mineral to get. We need 1000mg and can be gotten from vegetables and dairy. The problem is not getting enough dietary calcium, it’s ensuring the body doesn’t accumulate soft-tissue calcium. Nutrient Potassium Function Potassium is the physiological relaxer and is involved in nerve transmission, muscle relaxation, electrolyte balance (protecting against fluid retention). Significance TOO MUCH • Palpitations • Weakness • Too acid • Potassium always works TOO LOW blood • High pressure • Abnormal heart beats for • Cravings sweets pulse • High rate Where you get it • Aveage person consumes 1200mg of K+, but needs 4700mg. • You need 7-10 cups of vegetables to get your potassium closely with magnesium. Magnesium Magnesium is the major electrolyte in the heart. It controls the relaxation phase of the heart beat and muscles. • Works closely with potassium. • Is considered a natural calcium channel blocker. Highest amounts of • magnesium is in the left TOO MUCH • Laxative effect TOO LOW • Arrhythmias beats • Rapid arteries • Stiff • HBP • Angina calcium • Excessive valve prolapsed • Mitral • Overactive stress hormones - If magnesium is low in the soils, the plant cannot make chlorophyll. - Statins are made from fluoride and thus deplete magnesium - Standard blood test rarely detect deficiencies; use the Magnesium RBC Test deficiency can also • Magnesium occur from: -Too much vitamin D -Low stomach acids -Too much calcium -Too much potassium • Most magnesium supplements are only absorbed by 20%. Nutrient Function Sodium An essential electrolyte for the heart, nerve, muscle and fluid balance in the body. Significance TOO MUCH potassium • Depletes retention • Fluid depletion • Calcium high blood • Slightly pressure TOO LOW • Dehydration • Weakness overall death from • Increased cardiovascular insult. Allows body to use calcium to clot (German word for Koagulation) K1 is a clotting vitamin. However, there are 8 different types of K1 and some parts are even anti-clotting. It’s part of the vitamin C complex. • An average person consumes 1000+mg too much. Normal requirements are 2000mg and people consume 3500mg. • Also consume sea salt – 1 Excess sodium is hidden in junk foods and as MSG Vitamin K1 Where you get it tsp is enough per day to get your requirement. TOO MUCH TOO LOW • Eat lots of green leafy TOO MUCH TOO LOW • Vitamin K2 • Grass fed animal products • Vegetarian source: natto • None • Bruising bleeds • Nose loss • Bone • Bleeding gums vegetables. • Lack of bile can prevent the absorption of fat soluble vitamins calcium to Vitamin K2 • Transports your bones and teeth. Allows body to use calcium to clot (German word for Koagulation) • • Helps make the arteries and joints more elastic. Vitamin D is necessary to activate and make K2 work. Lack of bile can prevent the absorption of fat soluble vitamins • None of arteries. • Calcification Excess calcium soft • tissues (arteries,injoints, brain, kidneys, gallbladder, teeth, etc.) Nutrient Function absorb calcium in Vitamin D • Helps gut by 20x– show image. • Also brings calcium from the tissues to the blood Lowers blood pressure. • • High stress can block absorption of vitamin D Lack • of bile can prevent Significance TOO MUCH Hypercalcemia • (Calcification) deficiencies • Causes of vitamin K2 and vitamin F. TOO LOW Blood pressure • High blood calcium • Low • Depression of bone • Loss pain • Bone • Low immune system Where you get it • 20 min of sun • 10,000-40,000 IUs of D3 • WITH 100mcg of K2 for every 10,000 IUs of D3. Our products adds K1 to help K2 work the absorption of fat soluble vitamins Vitamin E E2 fraction – helps increase O2 thus preventing cramping of the heart. It also causes high altitude discomfort. Good for acne, sex organs, menopausal women since vitamin E is stored in the pituitary. • Also essential to prevent • artery damage, which precedes a clogged artery. Vitamin E has manganese as part of its complex TOO MUCH in • Hypervitaminosis E – depletes vitamin K, blotchy skin, decalcification of bone. TOO LOW cramps are caused • Most by low calcium, but E • • • • deficiency can also cause it. Muscle weakness is the other very common symptom Lack of coordination Refined bleached flour products cause a vitamin E deficiency. Tocopherol is only the anti-oxidant part (7 in total) similar to ascorbic acid. • Eat lots of green leafy vegetables. Nutrient Vitamin F Function Is called: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Significance TOO MUCH • None • Is part of the Vitamin E complex Lack • of bile can prevent TOO LOW who get too much • Farmers sun and too little vitamin F, get thick skin, hives. F, also, protects • Vitamin against skin cancer from the absorption of fat soluble vitamins • • Cholesterol MYTH: It’s not the cholesterol that is the problem; it’s the vitamin C deficiency that causes a collagen breakdown in the capillaries causing micro bleeding. The cholesterol comes in AFTER as a band-aid. But calcium also comes in making the arteries stiff – increasing High Blood Pressure FACTS: your body makes 2000mg of cholesterol daily (1 dozen eggs) FACTS: Cholesterol is needed to make stress hormones FACTS: Good cholesterol is only the cholesterol coming out of the liver and bad cholesterol is cholesterol going into the liver. As long as the good cholesterol is high –then you have exchange and you’re okay. FACT: the real deeper reason why • Flax oil, butter and fatty fish oil. • Also in sunflower oil. too much vitamin D. Sun is not dangerous IF you have enough vitamin F. Low F causes viruses to come out of remission (canker sores) Low F in the presence of lots of sun causes sun stroke, sun burn. cholesterol is high is the sugar carbs in the diet. FACT: if your cholesterol is high, you only have a .1% chance of getting a heart attack; not 100% rate – only risk (no legal definition) FACT: Normal cholesterol total used to be 225, by lowering it millions of people were put on meds. FACTS: WHO 192 countries: Women who have cholesterol <177 had a 98% higher death rate than women who had 212. Men who have cholesterol <177 had a 27% higher death rate than 212 David Evans – 500 Peer-review papers showing very negative side-effects of statins • Where you get it • Avoid sugar and hidden carbs • Consume cholesterol in food (eggs), which will only increase good cholesterol anyway. It’s high in lecithin, which is the antidote to cholesterol. Nutrient Vitamin B4 Vitamin C Function Significance B4 supports the nerve conduction and if deficient causes fibrillation. It, also, prevents dilation or enlargement. If the heart gets bigger, the valves leak causing regurgitation – murmurs. B4 is naturally in whole grains, yet bleached flour products will deplete vitamin B4. You must avoid refined grains to keep your B4 Helps oxygen carrying capacity and prevents capillary bleeding Vitamin C deficiency creates micro (small) hemorrhage in the layers of the arteries. This creates an immune healing reaction with the body’s natural band-aid – cholesterol and calcium. Where you get it • Is present in many foods • • Vitamin C comes in a complex and ascorbic acid is only one part. Taking large doses of ascorbic acid will create a deficiency of vitamin C complex. • Is present in many foods • • Synthetic Vitamins Natural is absorbed better, in one study it showed that it takes 3x more synthetic to achieve the results than natural. Vitamin molecules come in right and left hand structure. Natural vitamins come in whole complexes and are made from at least 8 parts, synthetics are only one and in very high amounts. In nature vitamins always come in complexes. and is not hard to get if you’re consuming vegetables, eggs, etc. Nutritional Yeast has B4, but make sure you get the unfortified nutritional yeast. B4 is also in our Adrenal Day Formula and is not hard to get if you’re consuming vegetables, eggs, etc. Nutritional Yeast has B4, but make sure you get the unfortified nutritional yeast. B4 is also in our Adrenal Day Formula • Companies make mostly synthetic. Why? Cost – 1 kg of synthetic biotin cost $9; if it’s natural the version cost $800 per kg.
