As for keeping a heart healthy, consider this. The odds for a healthy heart are not cardiovascular friendly. In fact, the statistics speak for themselves.

Over 1,000,000 die each year due to heart disease. 500,000 women every year die from heart disease, making it a concern for both men and women. Every 60 seconds someone dies of a heart attack. Sudden Cardiac death (SCD) accounts for 300,000 deaths each year - 1 every 60 seconds. Get this, 95% die before reaching the hospital. 100,000 athletes die each year from SCD. Sixty percent of our youth are at risk for heart disease. Heart attacks kill more people than the next nine causes of death, combined. Putting it into perspective, heart disease is like Seven (7) Boeing 747 planes crashing with no survivors, everyday. WOW!

The human heart pumps five quarts of blood every minute, and it beats 10,000 times each day for 50, 75, 100 years or more. That is right. The human body contains about five quarts of blood. Day after day, year after year, this organ, about the size of a man's fist, pumps approximately 45 million gallons of blood through the body over a 50-year period. In short, blood is the life of our bodies while the heart is the power that keeps it circulating. It is a fact that the number one cause of death in America is heart disease.

If the heart goes, it is all over! This makes protecting the heart a number one priority for every living being. Newspapers tell the same story in the obituary columns across this nation. A young man or woman in the mid-years of life die of heart attacks daily. The untold part of most of the obituaries is that the heart attack victim was a picture of health. So what happened? Is this a familiar picture? This is sad and frustrating for the loved ones of heart attack victims who are left behind. And the big question always is, "What could have been done?'' The old adage says, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.'' What is prevention and how can it be attained?As a rule, having nature and common sense as a foundation, is defi

nitely a plus. One preventative step is to realize that all life on earth has been and is currently dependent on the vegetable or herb kingdom. This is true for not only sustaining life but for maintaining health. Of course, there are no guarantees for results, but nothing usually is guaranteed. A popular heart enhancer is herbs, which are swiftly gaining much recognition and usage although they have been used for thousands of years. These herbs, even before Hippocrates time, were covered in the Old and New Covenants of the Bible, King James Version, Ezekiel 47:12 and Romans, 14:2, where it states, "...if you are weak, eat herbs (vegetables)”. Revelation 22:2 "...and the leaves are for the healing of nations." Again in Psalms advice about consumption of herbs is given, 104:14, "...and the herb for the service of man."
