The Weekly Wellness Report by Brazos Minshew, TriVita's Brazos Minshew, is chalk full of health information, from preventative medicine to one of the biggest killers, heart disease.

"Around 700,000 people in North America die from heart attacks each year. The most common cause of heart attacks is a blood clot caused by coronary artery disease (CAD). Yet, as bad as CAD is, heart attacks from narrow arteries and blood clots are not the only conditions that cause heart disease. Many heart diseases exist and are preventable with just a little care"

According to the eMedTV web site, "coronary artery disease is the most common type of heart disease. About 13 million people in the United States have coronary artery disease. It is the number one killer of both men and women. Based on 2003 data, 685,089 people died from coronary artery disease. Coronary artery disease and stroke (another cardiovascular disease) account for nearly 40 percent of all deaths."[1]

The most common cause of heart disease in North America is high blood pressure; it affects 73 million people in the U.S. alone. High blood pressure may be caused by:

• Disease in the blood vessels that cause them to narrow
• Imbalances in the kidneys, lungs and liver
• Cardiomyopathy - a disease of the heart muscle

The Brazos Minshew of TriVita, Brazos Minshew, says that "some people can reduce their high blood pressure simply by practicing deep breathing. Other techniques include increasing fruits and vegetables, and increasing fiber and water while reducing sodium."

"Coronary artery disease (CAD) occurs when plaque builds up inside a blood vessel of the heart. CAD affects over 16 million people in the U.S. It leads to angina pectoris - pain caused by poor blood flow to the heart muscles - and is associated with heart attack."

"Coronary artery disease responds well to a low-fat, high-fiber diet of mainly fruits and vegetables. Stress reduction and daily exercise are also effective therapies in combating CAD. Almost all heart specialists recommend Omega-3 oils, such as those found in TriVita's Omega Prime, as effective tools in combating CAD."

"Omega Prime can help reduce the 'stickiness' of blood to protect against clots and may slow down the process of plaque formation. One or two grams are enough to help protect against heart disease, but much more is needed if the heart is already diseased."[2]

Many studies suggest that our bodies have a daily need for Essential Fatty Acids. Research has proven that these EFAs play a key role in helping us to sustain vibrant good health. EFAs nourish the body's heart, brain, skin, glands and joints - and are critical to the hormone production process.

But there is a problem, as research has discovered, our bodies cannot make the EFAs internally. So these critical fats must come from outside sources. And that's where Omega Prime comes into play.

OmegaPrime's EFAs support our wellness in so many ways, starting with helping to reduce runaway inflammation. Many of us don't realize this, but runaway inflammation can lead to various serious health problems in the body involving the heart, arteries, lungs, joints and more.

Plus Omega Prime helps meet the American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines. One daily dose of Omega Prime provides the amount of Omega-3 recommended by the AHA for healthy individuals, as well as for those who have heart disease or the risk of it.
