In Long Island, where I've spent most of my life, a few days with temperatures in the 70's is considered a monstrous heat wave. But here in Florida, it's cool weather. I always find myself laughing at what my chef friend said to me many years ago, "If you like heat, get a job in a kitchen. If you really like heat, get a job in a really busy kitchen." I had the fun experience of walking by a broiler one day and I can assure you my friend wasn't kidding. That broiler in particular ran at 850 degrees. Great for steak, not so much for people working within ten feet. Moving on to fitness, here are some heart health tips for the day. 1. Heart attacks don't just happen when you're 65 or older - not that I'm considering that to be old, lately. In fact the demographic is getting younger and younger. Women aren't safe either - breast cancer has now taken second place to heart disease for the most common cause of death. 2. What you eat is important. When foodies talk about eating the rainbow, they are on to something. Fresh fruit and vegetables come in all sorts of colors. The brighter the colors, the more more heart healthy anti-oxidants are present. You should eat a percentage of fresh fruits and vegetables raw. If you have a juicer, that works too. 3. If you're past the age of thirty-five and experience some E.D., you might have some artery blockage. Have a cardiologist check this out immediately. Don't wait for a yearly physical. Another great thing you can do for your heart health is take pharmaceutical grade fish oil. Doctors might even be getting the message. The National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence now advises doctors to provide fish oil for patients that have suffered heart attacks. The Institute believes that if doctors follow their advice, their patients will be at lower risk of suffering further heart attacks. That's good advice, but it's after the fact, and what is called post heart attack treatment. Patients need to get on fish oil early, in order to help prevent cardiac events. An article in my newspaper this morning mentioned a professional baseball player who took fish oil for his aching joints. The result? He's coming back to play much earlier than expected. The National Institute For Health and Clinical Excellence found omega-3 fatty acids cut sudden death by heart attack by 45%, in those who had a recurring event. So my question is, why would you wait until a person has a heart attack to start recommending it? For heart fitness and many other amazing benefits, Dr. Bill recommends this type of enteric coated fish oil to all his clients.
