The best advice I could ever give a person would be to FOLLOW YOUR HEART! That's right! Follow your heart (heart's desire) by any means necessary. It's the cure for a boring, menial, routine, mediocre, and unsatisfactory life.

I truly believe that heart disease is the number one killer of Americans not only because of dietary reasons but for emotional and spiritual reasons as well predicated upon the fact that a lot of people really don't “have a heart” (are compassionate, loving, and caring), don't “have heart” (courage), and have a “broken heart” (hurt in the area of love).

Last year my husband was diagnosed with diabetes. It's been a really strange and colorful year since; wrought with arguments and laughter, diet changes and frustration. Because his father and both brothers have the disease, he is at a higher risk of subsequent illnesses such as heart disease and circulatory problems. Since he is not overweight, and enjoys exercise, it seemed that we would have an easier time getting his insulin levels under control. Not so. It took a long time finding the proper foods and food combinations which will fill him up and help him metabolize properly. As with most people with diabetes, sugar was the enemy. I personally am against the 'fake' chemical sugars. I've always believed the old adage, 'everything in moderation' including real sugar. I am not one to use anything fake in my diet. No fake flavors and seasonings, nothing over-processed, nothing with chemical dyes, sugars, or taste.
I was reminded a few months ago about stevia, used it in my husband's coffee one morning, and voila. I've been using it ever since in everything requiring sugar. Baking to sweetening it is my favorite addition every day. I love it so much I suggested it to my family and friends and now their hooked as well. Maybe this article will get you to try it too. Here is a bit of information about stevia.

CAD (Coronary Artery Disease) refers to the contracting of the heart arteries because of atherosclerosis. The heart muscle doesn't get sufficient oxygen when the heart arteries are contracted. If your heart is starving out of oxygen, then the pain in the chest arises which is called as angina. If your artery is totally blocked then the result would be heart attack. In medical terms, the heart attack is referred as myocardial infarction (MI). Coronary Artery Disease is considered to be the most usual type of the heart disease and the heart attack has been considered to be leading killer for both men as well as women.

Hypertension, in case you havent heard, is another way of saying high blood pressure. high blood pressure can lead to all sorts of ailments, most notable fatal heart attacks. One of the scariest things about this malady is that we often have little or no symptoms at so the only time that some folks find out they were at risk is when they have a heart attack. Therefore, it is extremely important that you monitor your blood pressure on a regular basis, ESPECIALLY as you get older.

A quick review for those that are new to the subject: high blood pressure is dangerous because the heart is often working harder than it should to force blood through vessels, and the vessels themselves receive damage overtime because of this increased pressure. This increased blood flow over time can cause serious damage leading to heart disease and even heart attacks.

Are you tired of feeling like you’re literally weighed down? Get ready to lift your spirits and lighten up your body with this life changing attitude of looking at exercise.

Florence Nightingale once said, “I attribute my success to this - I never gave or took any excuse.”

According to recent research the most common justification people don’t exercise is:

1. I don’t have the time

2. It’s genetic, my family is overweight so there’s nothing I can do about it.

3. I’m too tired to exercise
