Planning on Acute Heart Failure This Holiday?

Well that is a stupid question.  No body wants to rush to the emergency room gasping for breath, and then spend a few days dining on hospital fare with your butt hanging out of the most unflattering attire imaginable.

“Ho ho ho?”

“I don’t think so!”

Yet, if you are shopping ‘til you drop, and then having chips and dips and drinks with desert (prescription medication too?), you are asking for a hospitalized holiday!

Lack of sleep, water and good wholesome food will catch up with you quick.  (Yes, YOU!)

You waste SO much energy processing and eliminating stimulants, alcohol and junk food!

Plan on avoiding acute heart failure!

Is There a Solution For Heart Failure?

Honestly, is there a solution for heart failure?  I mean, if there is, why is there an epidemic of heart failure occurring right now?

Surely if people could avoid this devastating disease, they would, right?

The problem is that heart failure is diagnosed after your weak heart has enlarged in an attempt to meet your needs.  Unfortunately, that is very late in the disease process.

I used to think that you can’t undo the enlarging of your heart.  However, I have had the pleasure of meeting half a dozen people over the past couple years, who have done exactly that.  Through nutritional therapy and detoxification, they regained the quality of their lives.

Until the proverbial “shit hits the fan”, most people live in denial.

You may not even notice symptoms that might alert your doctor to the impending doom.

However, even if you tell your doctor about your symptoms there may be no alarm sounded until it is too late.

Hey, let’s face it, if your doctor can’t drug it or surgically repair it, odds are, he or she can’t help you.

Unfortunately, he can run a bunch of tests and give you a clean bill of health.

If you are eating a diet high in saturated fat with plenty of processed foods, and rarely get off the sofa; that comforting bit of information could be your death sentence.

You may have NO warning of heart failure before your health and quality of life are lost.

Even if your health care provider has told you that your heart “is fine”,

Are You Mending a Broken Heart?

Recently I noticed, in myself as well as my family and friends (both online and off), a constant mention of a “broken heart” so to speak.

Oh, they didn’t see it that way.  I know them to be positive people, so they were muddling through, just seeing the situation as one more story in their day.

I started to notice that these stories were emotionally charged.

Susan felt that “exercise” was such an interruption in her routine.

Helen feels like she is tied to her oxygen machine, like a leash, preventing her from living her life.  Every time she gets up to walk across the room, she trips on the darn thing!

I feel like if I am interrupted one more time I will scream (again)!

Susan and Helen helped me to see my own heartache.

I decided to take my own advice.

Now I feel much better.

How Important Is Oxygen?

If you have low oxygen levels you are dying.

Denial is not effective treatment for low oxygen levels.  Even if you “feel okay”.

Oxygen hitches a ride on your red blood cells in order to travel around your body.  If your oxygen level is too low (below 92%) the oxygen molecules can’t make the leap.  The pressure is too low.

When your oxygen level is below 92%, the oxygen that is in your blood cruises around in your circulation but the pressure isn’t high enough for it to actually get where it is needed.

What Does Low Oxygen Level Feel Like?

Low oxygen levels rob you of your health and can kill you.  Will you feel it if you have a low oxygen level?

Many people who have dangerously low oxygen levels report “feeling just fine” despite their pale color and confusion.

Watch for the following signs:

• water retention (especially feet/ ankles)
• shortness of breath/ difficulty breathing
• extreme fatigue
• chest tightness
• mental confusion/ short-term-memory loss
• tingling fingers
• chronic cough
• blue coloring around lips
• waking at night gasping for breath

Your body requires 92% blood oxygen saturation or above.  There is no getting around your oxygen requirement.

If you ignore your low oxygen level you will lose your eye sight, short term memory, and your strength and stamina.  The progressive weakening of your heart muscle will contribute to your heart failure.

Whether you feel concerned or not, get to your doctor and have your oxygen levels checked if you have any of the symptoms listed above.

It does NOT matter whether you suffer with low oxygen levels, or you “feel fine” with low oxygen levels, YOUR HEALTH WILL BE LOST! Read more
