From a\u00a0healthy heart<\/a>\u00a0to a good sex life, the proper flow and circulation of blood in our arteries is one of the most important things we can do to maintain good health and push back the aging process.<\/p>\n

There is a common denominator between good arterial health and disorders such as\u00a0heart attack<\/a>,\u00a0obesity<\/a>,\u00a0diabetes\u00a0<\/a>and high glucose levels, as well as sexual health. That common denominator is blood.<\/p>\n

One of the single biggest preventatives is a proper diet. Because diet strongly influences weight, sex hormone production, including testosterone, the health of our arteries and its flow, it is important to cut back on excess meat consumption, full fat, dairy products and a lack of vegetables and fruits in the diet.<\/p>\n

Herbal medicine is a wonderful preventative solution. Complications can arise when taking herbal medicine and allopathic drugs your doctor has prescribed. Great caution should be used especially if you are on blood thinners, diuretics or any other heart related medication. Consult your doctor with any questions you may have, before taking additional herbs or supplements.<\/p>\n

Blessed Thistle<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Strengthens the heart.<\/p>\n

Capsicum<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Blood pressure and health of blood vessels,\u00a0Capsicum<\/a>\u00a0stimulants circulation, enhances blood flow and is considered to be food for the circulatory system.\u00a0Capsicum<\/a>\u00a0assists in lowering blood pressure and breaking down cholesterol buildup.<\/p>\n

Cayenne<\/a>\u00a0Pepper<\/strong>\u00a0is renowned, not only for healing the entire digestive system, and for arthritic pain relief, but also for the heart and circulatory system. It acts as a catalyst and increases the effectiveness of other herbs when used with them.\u00a0Cayenne<\/a>\u00a0has been known to stop heart attacks within 30 seconds.\u00a0Cayenne<\/a>\u00a0has a high source of Vitamins A & C, has the complete B complexes, and is very rich in organic calcium and potassium, which is one of the reasons it is good for the heart. Consider the synergy of taking both\u00a0cayenne<\/a>\u00a0and Hawthorne berry together.<\/p>\n

Cornsilk<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Natural diuretic.<\/p>\n

Folate\u00a0<\/strong>(800 mg daily), a B complex and Zinc (15 mg daily) have shown to increase fertility and improve sperm motility.<\/p>\n

Garlic:<\/strong>\u00a0A rich source of potassium, zinc, selenium,\u00a0vitamin A<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Vitamin C<\/a>, is commonly used to fight infection, increase circulation and help prevent cardiovascular disease. Consider eating raw Garlic every day; since it is a very effective antifungal agent, or use it in tincture form. Research has shown that garlic is an anti-cholesterol remedy and is recommended for heart and circulatory problems. This is a wonderful natural antibiotic and detoxifier which protects the body against infection by enhancing immune function, as well.<\/p>\n

Goldenseal<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Berberine, an active ingredient of\u00a0goldenseal<\/a>, can dilate blood vessels. Therefore, it may prove useful in the treatment of certain causes of both irregular heartbeat and heart failure.<\/p>\n

Gotu Kola<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Strengthens the heart and helps lower blood pressure.<\/p>\n

Hawthorn Berry<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0a member of the rose family, was recognized by physicians in the early 1800s for its ability to treat disorders related to circulation and respiration (breathing). Considered a \u201ccardiotonic\u201d herb, the flowers and berries of the hawthorn plant have been used in traditional medicine to treat irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pain, atherosclerosis, and congestive heart failure. Hawthorn berries contain large amounts of bioflavonoids, which help dilate and strengthen the walls of blood vessels, relax arteries, and improve circulation of blood to heart muscles.<\/p>\n

Studies suggest that\u00a0Hawthorn berry<\/a>\u00a0extract improves heart function and exercise capacity in those with CHF. Participants in research trials also report significantly improved symptoms (like reduced shortness of breath and fatigue). Hawthorn extract may even prove to be as effective as low doses of ACE inhibitors (a leading class of heart medication) in improving symptoms of congestive heart failure. Hawthorne must be taken daily to be affective.<\/p>\n

Kelp<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Helps to clean and maintain the arteries.<\/p>\n

L-arginine<\/strong>\u00a0(2 grams daily), an amino acid found in pumpkin seeds and L-citrulline (500 mg twice daily) may possibly increase nitric oxide production, which in turn increases blood flow and therefore can prevent erectile dysfunction and increase sperm count. Foods high in both these amino acids include pumpkin seeds, almonds, cocoa and real (dark) chocolate, garbanzo beans, peanuts, salmon, soy and walnuts.<\/p>\n

Mistletoe<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Used as a cardiac tonic to stimulate circulation, reduce blood pressure and arteriosclerosis and strengthen capillary walls. Constricts blood vessels and stimulates heart beat.<\/p>\n

Motherwort<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Improves blood flow circulation and reduces heart blood pressure and palpitations.<\/p>\n

Myrrh<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Quickens the hearts action.<\/p>\n

Omega 3<\/a>\u00a0Fatty Acids<\/strong>\u00a0found in\u00a0flaxseed<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0fish oil<\/a>, appear to help protect against prostate cancer. Take 3 grams daily.<\/p>\n

Olive Leaf<\/a>\u00a0Extract:<\/strong>\u00a0Naturally support the circulatory and immune systems.<\/p>\n

Rosemary<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Is considered a heart tonic.<\/p>\n

Saw Palmetto<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0has been clinically proven to inhibit the enzyme involved in converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone. These powerful berries from the\u00a0saw palmetto<\/a>\u00a0palm tree, improve urine flow and decrease inflammation of the prostate gland. Take 160 mg, twice daily.<\/p>\n

Consider\u00a0Vitamin E<\/a>,<\/strong>\u00a0especially mixed tocopherols, which appears to work in synergy with lycopene to help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Take 400 IU daily.<\/p>\n

Vitamin C<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>works in synergy with\u00a0Vitamin E<\/a>\u00a0and helps increase its function. Take 600 mg, twice a day.<\/p>\n
