The key to a healthy heart and prevention of strokes depends on three major factors:<\/p>\n
1. Maintaining good blood flow through the arteries<\/strong><\/p>\n Maintaining good blood flow through the arteries involves controlling the Eicosanoids positively. \u00a0These hormones are responsible for producing greater, deep arterial blood flow. \u00a0Eicosanoids are controlled by precise balancing of proteins, carbohydrates, and monounsaturated fats. \u00a0When you use Pondera Wellness as a meal substitute you have a better chance at controlling this hormone in a positive way, thus helping to increase blood flow.<\/p>\n 2. Reduction of the cardiac risk factors (circulating insulin in the blood stream, cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL)<\/strong><\/p>\n Controlling cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and circulating insulin in the bloodstream all depends on your ability through your diet to control the Eicosanoids positively. \u00a0You must stop excessive insulin production by not consuming large amounts of carbohydrates. \u00a0Instead, you need to balance carbohydrates by using proper proteins, and adding monounsaturated fats to slow carbohydrate entry into the bloodstream.<\/p>\n Pondera Wellness tries to accomplish this slow release of carbohydrates. \u00a0When you have too much insulin in the bloodstream it targets the liver to release cholesterol, triglycerides and LDL. \u00a0Most of the new mainstream thinking for controlling these cardiac risk factors deals with reduction of excessive insulin in the bloodstream.\u00a0 Excessive LDL, Cholesterol and Triglycerides help leads to hardening of the arteries. \u00a0This hardening of the arteries is linked to building up plaque or plugs in our circulatory system, which can possibly be broken off into areas of the circulatory system leading to clots in the heart (heart attack, heart failure), clots to the lungs (Pulmonary emboli) and\/or clots to the brain (stroke).<\/p>\n 3.Reduction of stress, and adding a regular exercise program to your daily routine<\/strong><\/p>\n Reduction of stress is difficult to do, but by adding daily exercise you help control stress. \u00a0Many Pondera Wellness users have found that they have increased energy and want to exercise more regularly. \u00a0“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Gandi<\/p>\n Dr. Sterling Wood, D.P.M.<\/p>\n
