1st post...Heart Health...just a small piece of valuable info.

I'd like to say what's up to everybody, seeing that this is my first post here in my new online store. I'll be adding content regularly and quality is the key, not quantity. We'll be getting some good info so you and myself can be on our way to better health, regardless of where you are so far as your fitness level. Right now, i'm gonna take a little time to talk about probably the most important organ in your body...the heart.

Here is a little bit of information I've found that I really had no clue about...soy protein?? I've always thought whey protein was the way to go for men, but I guess its good for anybody. And as most know, the heart is your body's engine, take care of it and it will take care of you. 

"Soy foods have been a staple of the Asian Diet for over 5000 years.  Low incidence of heart disease in this population is what tipped scientists to the possibility that there might be something in the soybean that might be responsible for helping to maintain a healthy heart.  These epidemiological investigations led to the understanding that it is the Soy Protein that has been keeping Asian hearts in such great shape.  Over 50 double-blind, placebo controlled clinical studies demonstrate that Soy Protein reduces blood levels of total cholesterol and "bad" LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein). Small reductions in triglycerides have also been shown with Soy Protein."

While alot of people do avoid the bad, they don't spend near as much time taking in the good for heart health. Did you know that many times the very first symptom of heart disease is death! Hence the name "silent killer", you recieve no warning of it at all. While it's good to get out and do some cardio, you also need to take in consideration what you eat. Make a little room on your grocery list, here are just a few of the goods that help you on your way to better heart condition...avocados, calcium, barley, red yeast rice, soy protein, zinc, and garlic. There are more and i'll be damn sure to bring 'em up in another post. Once again, i'd like to give a big welcome and hope you enjoy the information given...knowledge is power, especially when it comes to better health. I also have another blog/site in which i'll be covering the same topics and getting into sports. Take a look around and enjoy it.
