Daily exercise, a smart diet, and select supplements can help lead to a long and healthy life. Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death for both men and women, accounting for about 26% of all deaths in the United States each year; and according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), heart disease is projected to cost the U.S. $316.4 billion in 2010. Further, nearly every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event and almost every minute someone will die from one. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the major cause of mortality and morbidity in developed countries, and with heart disease rising at an alarming rate, it's more important than ever that Americans learn how to achieve optimum heart health through healthy lifestyle choices like diet and exercise. While a balanced diet full of whole grains, fruits, and vegetables along with regular exercise promotes good cardiovascular health, as the body ages many of the natural molecules deplete and the need for vitamins and supplements come into play. Vitaelin Nutraceuticals® offers supplements such as Omega-3 Fish Oil to protect the heart and CoQ10, a powerful anti-oxidant that provides energy for your heart. These supplements, in combination with a healthy lifestyle that includes moderate exercise on a regular basis, a balanced diet low in processed foods, and plenty of rest and relaxation, can help keep the heart beating strong for years to come. Knowing how to take care of your heart can be confusing and overwhelming. It's important to know that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regularly is important, but there's still more people can do. Small changes can make a world of difference when it comes to heart health. Becoming more active, getting more rest, and eliminating processed foods from a daily routine in combination with supplements fromVitaelin Nutraceuticals®can improve, maintain and strengthen the heart. ...read more

A monthlong diet of entirely snack cakes and fatty foods may sound like a fantasy, but for one Kansas State University professor it's serious business. In 30 days Mark Haub is attempting to prove some common beliefs about nutrition are untrue. Haub, professor of human nutrition, teaches an obesity-related, energy balance course that sparked his diet idea. "The overarching principle is to bring to light some of the issues with obesity, our understanding of health, health outcomes and societal issues on what is good," he said. Haub wants to show that foods known to ruin diets may not have that effect, and he wants to point out that there is no strong definition of what healthy weight loss is. He will be recording his results on Facebook throughout the course of his experiment. His special four-week diet started Aug. 25. It includes products like peanut butter-chocolate bars, chocolate cake rolls, breakfast pizza, donuts and sugared cereal. Within the first four days of the diet, Haub had lost seven pounds by eating foods high in saturated fats and sugar while maintaining his calorie goal of 1,800 kilocalories a day. "It's portion controlled. I'm eating foods that are deemed by many to be unhealthy; we will see if they are," he said. "I'm not doing 'Super Size Me,' where I'm eating until I'm stuffed or overeating until I regurgitate, as Morgan Spurlock did with his documentary," Haub said. "The purpose is to illustrate metabolic, mental and sociological issues surrounding weight. The principle is simple: eat fewer kilocalories than I expend." Haub expects that his diet will affect his health and knows it could be a risk. But he points out that other diets have risks, as does gastric bypass surgery -- which is performed all the time. Haub is monitoring his health by measuring his body mass index, body composition, blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose. He believes the U.S. has an obesity epidemic. "We have become heavier as a nation and that's undeniable," he said. "The debatable part is what the health outcomes are that come with that increased weight gain." Many think increased weight gain leads to diabetes, heart disease, mortality and more. But Haub said research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has found overweight people have lower mortality rates and health care costs. Haub said his diet also is easy on a budget. "It's very inexpensive and I get all of my calories for about five bucks a day," he said. "I am not promoting this or recommending it; it's just an exercise in nutrition."

The United States is considered one of the richest and most advanced countries in the world. At the same time, this country is also home to the most obese people in the world. According to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity in adults has increased by 60% within the past twenty years and obesity in children has tripled in the past thirty years. A staggering 33% of American adults are obese and obesity-related deaths have climbed to more than 300,000 a year, second only to tobacco-related deaths.No wonder that there is widespread concern over the prevalence of obesity. In addition to a reduced Health Realated Quality of Life (HRQoL), obesity also respresents a burden on public budgets for healthcare. In 2008, treatment of obese patients was estiamated to be more than $ 147 billion, accounting for 9.1% of all medical specing in that year.[1] The First Lady and the Surgeon General are trying to rally Americans to fight against the "epidemic" of obesity. Perhaps they will inspire many to follow their leadership by example. Otherwise, the role of the federal government in curbing obesity is questionable, write economists Michael Marlow and Alden Shiers of California Polytechnic State University. The government's tools are taxes on sugar-sweetened beverages, bans on soft drinks in schools, regulations forcing restaurants to post calorie counts, and government-funded motivational programs. In an article in the fall issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Marlow and Shiers argue that these methods are ineffective or even counterproductive. Empirical studies do not clearly demonstrate that consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) cause obesity. Consumption of SSBs doubled between 1960 and 1980, a period when obesity rates were stable, and has been declining recently. Taxes are more likely to affect the behavior of casual consumers, who are more price sensitive, than of heavy consumers. States with strong restrictive policies on soft drinks in schools have no better obesity statistics than those with no such policies. Calorie labeling laws do not cause consumers to order lower-calorie meals. A recent study on the effects of soda taxes on consumption and obesity showed that taxing soda lowered BMI in adults. The results are, howver, marginal at best. In this study, a one-percentage-point oncrease in tax rate led to a decrese of only 0,003 BMI points.[2] Furthermore, while posting calorie labels may influence fast-food choices, researchers in a recent study with 1,156 adults in low-income, minority communities in New York examining the effects of labeling in fast-food restaurants in the wake of the City's labeling mandate, could not detect a change in calorie consumption affter the introduction of the law.[3] The idea of funneling "sin tax" revenues into government programs to discourage unhealthy behavior has been tried with tobacco taxes. Roughly 10% of tobacco tax revenue actually flows into smoking-control programs, which are not very effective, while the rest is used for unrelated government programs. In their conclusion, Marlow and Shiers predit that government intervention will make obesity worse as it crowds out market-based solutions that effectively tie weight loss to personal responsibility, higher wages, and lower insurance premiums.
