Eating Your Way to a Lower Blood Pressure
Dr. Maoshing Ni (Dr. Mao), a Yahoo.com health expert for alternative medicine has tips for what to eat (and what not to eat), when it comes to maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
It just may turn out that your favorite foods are working wonders for your health and wellness, in more ways than you realize.
Dr. Mao’s cuisine recommendations include fish, cucumbers, and olive oil, for their valuable effects on your circulatory and heart health.
Foods that may raise your blood pressure include salt, refined sugar, and alcohol. Though it’s okay to enjoy these items in moderation, it’s smart to get in the habit of substituting with spices, honey, and plenty of hydrating beverages, such as sparkling water.

Enjoy your favorites, and try some new recipes, but keep in mind that eating healthy is one of the surest paths to increased health and wellness.

Are you self-conscious about going to the gym?
Check out this quote from the Apria Healthcare website:
“In today’s weight room, you’re as likely to see a grandmother working her glutes as a quarterback working his quads, now that resistance exercise is recognized as vital to building strong muscles and bones.”

Pax’s Prescription Method of Training will show you how weight-resistance training will not only strengthen your muscles, but your heart as well.
Pax didn’t just treat his heart disease – he reversed it. Now his passion is to show others how to do the same. Why? Because it’s completely unnecessary that 50% of people die from Heart Disease or heart related illnesses. Body For The Ages seeks to eliminate this insidious statistic.
Read Pax’s story at www.BodyForTheAges.com. He’s living proof that you can take control of your health, beat heart risks, and have fun in the process.

Hey there Folks,
This is pretty helpful for anyone looking for some background information on the practice of anti-aging and exceeding the average human lifespan: Wiki - Anti-Aging.
We at BODY FOR THE AGES place an emphasis on anti-aging through preventative and rehabilitative Heart Health. We do this utilizing a more holistic / fitness regiment [concentrating on Heart Health and fighting Heart Disease], as opposed to some of the more scientific perspectives that are discussed in this Wiki page.
However we do implement the power of Pyruvate and Protein supplementation, found as a portion of our Online Wellness Program, you may visit us there to learn more about our Nonprofit mission or for direct access visit us at our retail Online Store now offering a 2 for 1 special on Pyruvate and 2 for 1Protein !! Visit and learn how Pyruvate can help you prevent Heart Risks.
until next time,
Team Body For the Ages

I heard a great line the other day- “Food is not an activity.”
I thought that was some great advice on how to keep from over eating. I know that I sometimes do eat just because I’m bored during comericals.
I also try to limit my supply of junk food in my house. I find if there are chips, I will eat chips until I run out or get full. If there are cookies, I will eat cookies until I run out or get full. I fall I have is salad, I will eat salad. And I can only eat so much salad.
Do you have some tips for eating better? Please share in the comments section.
Here’s some tips from Pax:
Establish “No-Eat Zones”: This teaches discipline which is a key component of success. Not trying yields tragedy, and effort yields triumph.
Do the “Savor the Flavor” Test: Learn the art of eating slower. Practice makes perfect.
Break One Habit at a Time: You can’t stop overeating, smoking, and drinking all at once. Your initial goal is to adopt the Body for the Ages Nutrition System of eating, the initial goal is not to weight loss.
Table Eating: Only eat at the table. (Never standing, or in a car.)
Don’t Fear Failure: Everybody slips off every course they commit to… sometimes. That’s not failure. You are human. Slipping off course and then quitting - that’s failure.
Make it Fun!: Maintain a positive frame of mind. You’re on your way to building the body of your dreams!
