And this is a big mistake. Pharmaceutical drugs don’t do anything to boost your heart health. In fact, they often make things much, much worse. That’s because they come with some hefty side effects that can damage your entire cardiovascular system. Next thing you know, you could be taking a handful of drugs… just to address those nasty side effects! And none of those additional drugs are doing anything good for your heart. I’ll give you a perfect example of what can happen. Drugs Won’t Save You from Heart Disease Let’s say you’re taking a diuretic to lower your blood pressure. Well, these drugs come with a serous side effect. They can cause your LDL cholesterol and triglycerides to increase. They wash out critical minerals and can raise blood sugar. When that happens, you’ll likely be told to add a statin to your regimen. You may think this will be good for your heart health. But among other serious side effects – and there are a lot of them – taking a statin increases the odds of your arteries hardening by more than half. Cut Bladder Symptoms By More Than 50% Numerous scientific studies suggest that cranberries, cranberry juice and cranberry extract may support urinary tract health. Cranberries have an antiseptic effect that may flush germs out of the urinary tract, so you don't feel you have to go to the bathroom all the time. There are multiple studies of cranberry (juice or capsules) for the prevention of urinary problems in both men and women and among nursing home residents.

Next thing you know, you’re taking Coumadin,Plavix or Xarelto to thin your blood. This is to make sure you don’t end up with a clot in the event of a plaque rupture or cardiac arrhythmia (perhaps from a deficiency in a critical mineral) But it doesn’t end there. Another side effect of statins is the development of diabetes. So if you take a statin, it might not be long before you’re also taking a drug like metformin or glyburide to control your blood sugar. You see how it goes? You start off taking one drug, and end up on four in no time flat. Now, let’s see what kind of side effects you’ll get if you use supplements (in addition to good old-fashioned exercise and healthy foods!) to protect your heart. Heart-Healthy Alternatives that come with Great “Side Effects” If you have high blood pressure, you can lower it in only about three hours with beetroot juice. This juice boosts your nitric oxide levels, which is absolutely necessary for proper blood flow. Just 250 ml each day can lower your blood pressure by about 8/4 mmHg (8 points on the top number, 4 points on the bottom number). If you prefer pill form instead of juice, I recommend looking for a plant-based NO (nitric oxide) enhancer that has beetroot juice as its main ingredient. Great side effects: Beetroot juice helps reduce arterial stiffness and thickening of the arteries. Plus, dietary nitrates like those found in beetroot juice can have a positive effect on obesity and insulin resistance. What if you’re worried about cholesterol? This Nutrient is 400% More Powerful than Resveratrol! Support a Healthy Heart, Blood Pressure, Cholesterol, Fat-Burning, and More! New research supported by the National Institutes of Health revealed a chemical flaw in this near-miraculous nutrient. Human studies show we just can't absorb it. No matter how much you take...you may as well be flushing it down the toilet! But the benefits of resveratrol – and the amazing promise of genetic rewriting – were too incredible to ignore. That's why researchers kept looking… until they found a natural resveratrol "cousin." 400% BETTER absorbed than resveratrol Infuses your body with energy and superior anti-aging benefits Supports healthy cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. Fights inflammation Gives you a metabolic edge Switches on "life extension" genes It could even make you smarter! Use it today to help protect your heart. Discover how it can help you become slimmer and more vital...and bring your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar under control naturally. Click HERE and learn how to turn ON your vitality genes and maximize support for a healthy heart, blood pressure, cholesterol, fat-burning, memory, and more! Click HERE for the shocking truth! Well, there’s a tangy fruit called bergamot. It’s not really edible in my opinion, but you can buy bergamot extract in supplement form. This extract can help balance your LDL/HDL ratios. In fact, it only takes about 30 days to boost your HDL over 40%, while lowering LDL by about 38%. Great side effects: Bergamot can cut triglycerides by about it third. It significantly reduces the number of harmful small, dense LDL particles circulating through your bloodstream, which may be more important to overall coronary artery health than the above ratios. And to top it off, it can also slash your risk of diabetes by lowering blood sugar. I recommend 500 mg. of bergamot daily in supplement form, or 100 ml. daily of the bergamot juice. Worried about clots? Garlic contains compounds that help keep your blood cells from clumping together. Medically, this called “antiplatelet activity.” What this means for you is improved blood flow and less chance of clotting. Great side effects: Aged garlic (but not raw garlic) prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. It lowers blood pressure, reduces plaque build up and arterial stiffness, and can even help bring blood sugar problems under control. Your best bet is to take 300 mg. of Kyolic brand aged garlic extract daily. These are just a few heart-healthy alternatives to prescription drugs. There are also many others, like niacin, omega-3 fatty acids, ginger, magnesium and CoQ10. But we can talk about those some other time. In the meantime, next time your doctor tries to hand you a prescription for something that will “protect” your heart health… ask him what exercise, diet and some of these nutrients can do for you.
