Do you have a family member, relative or friend who died due to a heart attack or stroke? Gusto mo bang maiwasan ang sakit sa puso at stroke para humaba ang iyong buhay?
Then try these simple healthy lifestyle practices! You have nothing to lose but everything to gain!
When you wake up every morning, drink 1-2 glasses of warm water.
Then slice 10 pcs of calamansi and squeeze its juice. Then drink your fresh and pure calamansi juice at least 15min before taking any solid food.
Then take 1,000 mg of sodium ascorbate VitC after lunch and another 1,000 mg VitC after dinner.
Why is Vitamin C essential in preventing cardiovascular diseases?
In their paper “Vitamin C and Heart Health: A Review Based on Findings from Epidemiologic Studies”, Moser and Chun (2016) concluded that “vitamin C inhibits oxidation of LDL-protein, thereby reducing atherosclerosis” and that “vitamin C deficiency is associated with a higher risk of mortality from cardiovascular (CVD) disease”. Below is a summary of the meta-analyses study conducted by Moser and Chun (2016) investigating vitamin C and cardiovascular markers:
1. Vitamin C supplementation reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This is the Outcome from 29 studies involving 1,981 participants taking vitamin C dosages of 60 to 4,000 mg daily over a Trial Duration of 2 to 26 weeks.
2. Vitamin C supplementation significantly improved endothelial function. This is the Outcome from 46 studies (17 studies supplemented with vitamin C alone) involving 1,817 participants (478 participants in trials that supplemented with vitamin C alone) taking 500 to 2,000 mg daily over a Trial Duration of 4 to 240 weeks.
3. Arterial stiffness was reduced with vitamin E and combined antioxidant supplement, but not with vitamin C alone. This is the Outcome from 20 studies involving 1,909 participants taking vitamin C supplement dosages of 120 to 4,000 mg daily over a Trial Duration of 8hrs to 2,635 days.
Why are these lifesaving research results not mainstreamed in our healthcare system? Your guess is as good as mine – this is obviously not to the best interest of Big Pharma.
The Philippines Statistics Authority (PSA) listed ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases as the Top 2 causes of death in the Philippines. According to the PSA, from January to November 2022 alone, 103,628 deaths or 18.4 percent of total deaths is due to ischemic heart diseases (Ischemic heart disease, also called coronary heart disease (CHD) or coronary artery disease, is the term given to heart problems caused by narrowed heart (coronary) arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle). Furthermore, PSA data showed that from January to November 2022, 57,411 deaths or 10.2 percent of total deaths is due to cerebrovascular diseases. Cerebrovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect blood flow and the blood vessels in the brain. Problems with blood flow may occur from blood vessels narrowing (stenosis), clot formation (thrombosis), artery blockage (embolism), or blood vessel rupture (hemorrhage).
BUT by simply adopting the healthy habit of taking fresh calamansi juice every morning plus taking at least 2,000 mg of sodium ascorbate VitC every day, you could effectively reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke! To optimize the efficacy of your daily VitC supplementation, ADD this two simple habits: 1) exercise or do brisk walking 3x a week, and 2) minimize salt intake by avoiding salty foods. Personally, I have done all these for over seven years now and at sixty two years old, I don’t have hypertension, heart problem, diabetes, etc.
Always remember this: Prevention is much better than hospital bills!!!
