In this post, I’ll touch on why sleep matters, how it affects us physically and mentally, and how the ChiliSleep Cube Sleep System helped me get the best sleep of my life!

the importance of sleep

Sleep is more than just downtime; it’s when our bodies and minds undergo crucial repair and regeneration. Here’s why it matters:

1. physical health:

Sleep is essential for our bodies to repair tissues, regulate metabolism, and support immune function. Skimping on sleep can lead to serious health issues like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes.

2. mental health:

Sleep plays a significant role in regulating our mood, managing stress, and promoting emotional well-being. Poor sleep can contribute to anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges.

3. cognitive function:

Sleep is crucial for learning, memory consolidation, and decision-making. Quality sleep enhances our cognitive abilities, creativity, and problem-solving skills, while lack of sleep impairs focus, attention, and reaction times.

4. overall well-being:

Quality sleep contributes to our overall sense of vitality, energy, and resilience. It allows us to wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead, improving our quality of life in every aspect.

The post get the best sleep of your life appeared first on cool shit that actually works.

It seems life just keeps moving faster and faster these days. As a woman, you juggle so many different tasks and responsibilities, it sometimes seems unending. You manage your family, work, errands, school, social responsibilities and so much more. When you are taking care of everyone else and on the go all the time, taking care of your body and maintaining a healthy diet often falls to the wayside.

You rush about to meet the demands of your life each day. Who has time to cook healthy, well-balanced meals every day when you are juggling all that? Unfortunately, the ‘quick and easy’ food choices are often the worst options for your body, but they are so convenient when you’re on the run. Couple that with all the stress, and extra weight shows up all too easily. What’s worse is that all the nutrition advice out there gets overwhelming and confusing, so most people have no idea how to eat healthy and lose weight.

The great news is that just about everyone who drinks green smoothies loses weight. In fact, most people who follow my Smoothie Diet Weight Loss Program report up to 3-8 pounds weight loss in their first week!

1. Green Smoothies for Weight Loss:

A major benefit of Green Smoothies is weight loss. Keep in mind, not all smoothies are created equal however. Some are very healthy while others, not so much. A proper green smoothie for weight loss includes lots of leafy greens and other vegetables, whole fruits such as a banana or apple, and water. Avoid adding dairy, such as milk or yogurt, as these add unnecessary fats and calories, and can irritate your digestive system.

One major weight loss guideline is to increase your intake of vegetables, healthy fiber and fruits. Green smoothies offer a quick and convenient method for this AND they are super quick and easy to make. Just throw everything in a blender for a few seconds, pour it in a travel cup and you are ready to go. The fiber helps you feel full, reducing the urge for unhealthy snacks between meals.

Healthy Meal Replacement

If you make it right, your smoothie is a perfect meal replacement. To do this, you need to add healthy fats and plant based proteins, which helps you feel full and get the nutrients your body needs with fewer calories. Click here for some helpful guidelines and recipes for boosters to turn your green smoothie into a healthy meal replacement option that will help you shed those extra pounds.

Detox Your Body

The fruits and vegetables alkalinize your system, cleansing toxins from your organs and blood. As your body releases toxins, you not only feel better, but you’re your organs run at optimum level. Your body processes and digests more effectively. You absorb nutrients better, helping you feel more satisfied and reduce cravings.

Feel More Energized!

Adding the right nutrients into your body while releasing toxins will give you a serious energy booth. You feel better. More energy also boosts your metabolism so you burn more calories. With all the responsibilities you juggle every day, won’t it be great to have the energy to manage it all and still have some left over for fun? You can play with the kids, have some fun with your spouse, or add in some quality time for yourself.

Boost Your Self Confidence

What? How is a smoothie going to do that? Well, first, you are making a conscious choice to do something good for you. It is a decision you can feel good about. Instead of grabbing something quick that you know is bad for you and is going to make you feel icky, you can make a quick smoothy and drink it on the go, knowing you are nourishing yourself by putting healthy food into your body. Second, as your body releases all the toxins it’s been storing up, you feel better in your body. And, of course, as you drop excess weight, you will feel better about yourself and your body. It’s an all-around win-win.

2. Beautiful skin, hair and nails:

Antioxidants are natures magic pill for bringing out your natural beauty. Fresh fruits and vegetables are a powerhouse of nutrients and antioxidants. This, combined with the detoxification benefits of green smoothies leads to clear, glowing skin, stronger nails and lustrous, healthy hair. They help reduce or eliminate eczema and other skin conditions.

3. Anti-Aging:

You not only get clearer skin, but the nutrients in green smoothies also help boost production of collagen, creating firmer, younger looking skin. Apples, strawberries and oranges are great choices to add to your smoothie for this. Do you ever buy those super expensive anti-aging lotions with CoQ10? Try a green smoothie instead! It’s cheaper and you know exactly what is in it. Q10 is a naturally occurring coenzyme that helps your skin stay firm and smooth. As you age, the Q10 in your body decreases. Green smoothies are a great source of these anti-aging enzymes.

4. Chronic Disease Prevention:

You do all this running around for a reason. You love your family and you want to take care of them. More than anything, you want to be around to enjoy them as you get older.

Green smoothies not only provide the energy to manage all the responsibilities and stress, but also help prevent chronic disease. Proper nutrition and diet is one of the best measures for preventing heart disease, cancer, diabetes and many other health conditions. Green smoothies are a wonderful source of these life-saving antioxidants and nutrients. They also support the body’s natural cleansing and detoxification processes, helping you release toxins and decrease health risks.

5. Improved Digestion And Gut Health:

All that fiber is great for clearing out your digestive tract. This alone has wonderful health benefits as your health starts in your gut. A clear and healthy digestive tract brings less bloating, reduced weight, improved toxin elimination, stronger immune system, increased mental clarity, and more energy.

The post top 5 reasons women are drinking green smoothies appeared first on cool shit that actually works.

Food is your primary source of nourishment and health. What you put into your body matters. The quest to eat healthy seems like it should be so simple, yet there is so much deception from food companies that it is hard to know what is healthy and what isn’t.

As you walk through the aisle of your local grocery, you are inundated with thousands of subtle marketing ploys. Food companies want you to buy their products, and actively strive to mislead you into thinking that their food is healthier than it is.

You see products that boldly announce things like ‘Organic’, ‘No Trans Fats’, ‘All Natural’, ‘Gluten Free’, ‘Fat Free’ and so many other seemingly healthy terms. Consumers often don’t realize that they are buying foods that are harmful to their health. You might think, “it’s organic, so it must be healthy.” Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

Food Companies DON’T CARE About You

The sooner you realize this the better. Food companies are not interested in your health. They are interested in making money. Companies shift their marketing to meet consumer trends and demands, but they will not necessarily change much in how they process and manufacture food. They will also go out of their way to hide unhealthy ingredients from you.

What’s worse is the FDA allows this. They also allow numerous food additives that are known to create major health problems. You want to know something else crazy? The FDA also doesn’t require chemical contaminants (like rocket fuel) to be listed.

WHAT???

There are soooo many unsafe food additives whose names are misleading to the uninformed consumer. Knowing this, the grocery store suddenly becomes a landmine rather than a source of nourishment and health. You don’t know what you are putting into your body or feeding your family. It’s no wonder there are so many major health problems in this country.

Even if you shop in the organic/natural/whole foods section of your local grocery, you still have to be careful. Certainly, there are many better choices there, but these sections also have a lot of highly processed foods that are not as healthy as you might think. You need to be very careful about ANY packaged foods you purchase. Read your labels carefully.

Here are 10 dangerous ingredients to look out for:

1.Sodium Nitrate:

Sodium Nitrate is an additive used as a preservative. It is found in deli meats, hot dogs, bacon and other processed meats. Studies have linked sodium nitrate to heart disease, diabetes, cancer, neurological conditions, and gastrointestinal problems. If you eat meat, stick to lean fresh meats and limit or steer clear of meats containing sodium nitrate.

2. Azodicarbonamide:

Azodicarbonamide is an industrial chemical that is used to make rubber and synthetic leather. It makes things foamy, so somewhere along the way, someone thought it was a good idea to add it to bread to make is spongy! It is also used to whiten cereal flour. While the FDA claims that there is insufficient research to determine harm from exposure to this chemical in food, it has been banned in Europe and Australia. The World Health Organization and the CDC list respiratory issues, and skin and eye irritation warnings, and say not to ingest. Other sources associate ingesting this chemical with damaging hormone and immune function.

3. High fructose corn syrup:

Despite to corn industries aggressive campaign to convince us otherwise, high fructose corn syrup is NOT a natural food – it is highly processed. It is also not the same a natural sugar and it is not processed by the body in the same manner. Given that, coupled with the high quantities of high fructose corn syrup hidden in our food, it creates numerous health risks. High fructose corn syrup is linked to obesity, type II diabetes, high blood pressure, liver disease, and heart disease. Food manufacturers know consumers are looking for it on ingredient labels, so many now list it as fructose or fructose syrup. It’s the same dangerous ingredient, same high quantities, just a deceptive new name.

4. BHT (butyl hydroxytoluene)

Butyl hydroxytoluene (BHT) is a synthetic compound used as a preservative in foods and cosmetics. It slows the natural oxidation process, keeping foods and cosmetics from going bad. Interestingly, if you read the MSDS (Materia Safety Data Sheet) for this chemical, it clearly identifies it as a toxic substance. But it is in our food! Studies have linked BHT to cancer in animals. “They” say that low doses are fine, whereas high doses are not, however BHT is in a ton of food products, so how do you determine high vs. low doses? And is there a cumulative effect?

5. Enriched flour:

Essentially, enriched flour is flour that has been chemically and mechanically stripped of all its fiber and nutrients, and then has a small fraction of those nutrients artificially replaced. This leaves you with a product with virtually no nutritional value whatsoever. Due to the highly processed and depleted state, foods made with enriched flour are not processed in the same manner by your body. They immediately change into sugar and cause blood sugar and insulin spikes. This leads to numerous health risks, including increased risk for type 2 diabetes, damage to blood vessels, high blood pressure and increased risk for certain cancers. You may be accustomed to the texture and taste of white breads and flours, but do your health a favor and switch it up to true whole grains.

6. Soybean oil:

The soybean has commonly been viewed as a healthy food and is a popular replacement for animal protein. Unfortunately, the soybean and soybean oil are also linked to many health conditions. One major problem is that the bean is commonly mass produced with lots of carcinogenic pesticides and genetically modified. Soy and soybean oil are linked to inflammation, digestive issues, allergies, malabsorption of nutrients and protein. The oil is also partially hydrogenated, thus a trans-fat, which you know poses numerous health risks. If you choose soy, be sure to find non-GMO, organic soy.

7. MSG

MSG is a flavor enhancer that is added to many foods in the US. Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few decades, you have heard that MSG is bad for your health. It is linked to obesity, headaches, eye damage, nausea and other health problems. There are conflicting studies about short and long-term effects of MSG, however sensitivities are very common. With all the unknowns and the evidence toward health risks, you’re better of eliminating it from your diet.

8. Yellow #5 (tartrazine):

Yellow #5 is a food additive included in many foods to give it a yellow coloring. Studies have linked this additive to a number of health considerations. These include allergic reactions, hyperactivity, low sperm count, and cancer risks. Pay attention to this and other food coloring additives as many of them are linked to health concerns.

9. Propylene glycol alginate:

Propylene glycol is a commonly used additive to foods, also a primary ingredient to antifreeze. Research studies around this food additive have produced inconsistent findings related to health risks. Some studies have shown risks associated with neurological issues, kidney and liver disease, and respiratory and cardiovascular disease. Due to the conflicting studies, there is no conclusive evidence, however is it really worth taking the risk while the researchers figure it out?

10. Polysorbate 60:

Polysorbate 60 is commonly used as a thickener in foods and cosmetics. While there is not a lot of information available on this chemical compound, its ingredients are linked to carcinogens and fertility issues.

The #1 Easiest Way To Avoid These Scary Ingredients:

The scary thing is that the above list is just a few of the numerous risky chemicals and compounds found in packaged foods. The only way to get truly healthy is to avoid these harmful additives and know what you are putting into your (and your families) bodies.

One of the most effective ways to avoid these foods is to focus on whole foods. Buy fresh fruits and vegetables, and unprocessed meats and fish if you are an omnivore. Adding green smoothies to your diet is also an amazing way to start eating lots of healthy, whole fruits and vegetables without worrying about the taste. Not only that, but the nutrients in green smoothies can help reverse any damagae that has already been caused by these hidden chemicals. Smoothies are quick and easy to make, inexpensive and portable. They are a great solution for healthy eating overall and on the go.

The post 10 shocking ingredients in your food appeared first on cool shit that actually works.

Eliminate this one simple ingredient you didn’t even know you were consuming to

• Clean out the plaque buildup in your arteries
• Drop your cholesterol to a healthy level
• Boost your physical and mental energy to levels you didn’t think possible

I’m not talking about your favorite beefsteak, butter, fat, or any other product you’re consciously eating.

I’m not even talking about cholesterol as you know it.

yet, you’re blindly consuming this ingredient every single day.

And when I tell you what this ingredient is, you’ll be so disgusted that you’ll never eat it again.

You’ll begin to obsessively read food labels and research every meal that you eat to make sure you never put this horrendous ingredient in your mouth again.

And again, NO, I’m not talking about:

• preservatives
• chemicals
• or anything else really listed on the food labels

because, frankly, this ingredient will give you chills!

I’ll explain in a minute exactly what this ingredient is and how to completely cut it out of your diet.

But first, the really good news.

You see, once you’ve cut out this ingredient, you won’t believe the positive effects you’ll feel. Because the plaque buildup in your arteries is taking away 50–80% of your energy!

Just think about it . . .

blood circulation is the lifeline of your body.

Every single cell depends on blood to bring it nutrition and oxygen, as well as remove waste.

If organs don’t receive enough oxygen, they under-function. And that’s exactly what happens when plaque builds up in your arteries.

You may feel shortness of breath if your heart’s arteries are clogged, but that’s the smallest part of the story.

The cholesterol plaque builds up in every artery in your body, affecting every organ.

It causes . . .

• Brain fog –when arteries in the brain narrow
• Muscle pain and weakness –when arteries to the muscles narrow
• Erectile and other sexual dysfunctions –when arteries around the genitals narrow

. . . leading to all kinds of complications years before you even suffer your first heart attack or stroke.

And make no mistake . . .

you will suffer a heart attack or stroke!

That’s if you don’t take action today and cut out this one ingredient.

Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death in the world.

And if you’ve already been diagnosed as high risk – meaning you have high cholesterol or high blood pressure – you’re almost guaranteed to suffer a heart attack or stroke, if you don’t take drastic measures.

But after learning today how to manage this one ingredient, you’re going to see your doctor’s eyes pop out with astonishment.

Your doctor will not believe that you can bring down your cholesterol and clear out your arteries without drugs.

how do I know?

You know how they say that life flashes in front of your eyes before you die?

It ain’t true . . . at least not for me.

All you experience is an agonizing, overwhelming, unbearable pain as though your chest is being ripped apart.

And it’s like your heart is shooting out 440 volts of electricity that are tearing through your whole body.

“You survived this one, but you’ll not be so lucky next time,” the doctor said to me.

“Now you’re going to listen to me and take the cholesterol and blood pressure medications that I prescribed you “, he continued firmly.

“Your heart is ninety-three percent clogged. Don’t you understand? You’re going to die. . . permanently this time!”

and you know what I replied?

. . . the stubborn son of bitch that I am?

“Yes, I’ll take these freaking prescriptions, but I’ll flush them right down the toilet, because there’s no way in the world that I’ll ever put that crap into my system.”

And as stupid as my decision may have been, I’m glad I made it.

A few short weeks later, tests showed that my heart was almost completely cleared of plaque!

I was kicking ass in the gym, putting boys half my age to shame. I had this drive that I didn’t remember since college.

Best of all, I was feeling great having such fantastic health and knowing that I didn’t have to suffer the side effects of these dangerous prescription medications.

Now, I’ll tell you exactly how I did this in a second, but first let me warn you about two common myths regarding cholesterol and heart attack and stroke:

myth #1 – LDL (Bad Cholesterol) is the cause of plaque buildup.

Not true.

In 2009, researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles [1] analyzed the medical statistics of 136,905 heart attack patients from 541 hospitals across the U.S.

what they found was shocking.

Incredibly, 75% of those who suffered a heart attack had an LDL cholesterol score below 130 mg/dl (labeled as acceptable), and 50% had a score below 100 mg/dl (labeled as very healthy.)

Only 25% of those who suffered a heart attack actually had high cholesterol.

Similar findings have been proven in repeated studies before and since.

So there must be another cause other than a bad LDL level, and I’ll tell you in a second what that is.

myth #2 – Lowering your cholesterol with drugs will prevent heart attack.

A new review research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology [2] concluded that no reliable study has ever proven that statins prevent deaths.

What’s more, this research shows that every single cholesterol hype-study has been purposely misleading.

The most drastic proof of the ineffectiveness of statins, however, comes from a study published in 2008 in the New England Journal of Medicine [3].

The researchers showed that treatment with two statins lowered cholesterol much more than treatment with one statin alone.

Good so far for the pharmaceutical industry.

but then comes the bombshell . . .

. . . because treatment with two statins led to a higher buildup of plaque in the arteries – meaning that your cholesterol level goes down, but your arteries get more clogged.

This, of course, leads to heart attack, stroke, and all the other cardiovascular diseases you’re suffering from without knowing it.

I think you agree with me that . . .

lowering your cholesterol level is not the goal; clearing out your arteries is!

What is going on?

Shouldn’t a lower LDL cholesterol level improve your heart health?

But it does NOT as studies have proven!

At the same time, statins cause all kinds of side effects that are often more serious than heart attack and stroke.

One of the most serious is . . .

statins have been proven to cause type 2 diabetes.

Just think about it.

For the last 20 years, while statin use has been on the rise, new cases of type 2 diabetes have more than doubled.

Here are a few more examples of the serious side effects of statins:

• Weakness
• Nerve damage in the hands and feet
• Acidosis dysfunction of the pancreas
• Muscle aches and pains
• Sexual dysfunction
• Anemia
• Cataracts
• Rhabdomyolysis (a serious degenerative muscle tissue condition)
• Liver diseases
• Suppressed immune function
• Several types of cancer

These are just a few of the serious diseases statins cause without benefitting you at all.

so what is the solution?

This brings us back to the one ingredient that is the cause of all the plaque buildup in your arteries.

The one ingredient that you’re consuming on a daily basis, without even knowing it exists.

And how cutting it out, will completely prevent stroke and heart attack.

Now, I didn’t come up with this discovery myself.

it was revealed to me by an elite insider.

In fact, all the major studies and research about this are so strongly hidden that the general public has very little chance of learning about this on their own.

It’s only because of a stunning coincidence that I was led to discover this ingredient and the treatment for heart plaque buildup.

back to the story . . .

I walked out of the hospital with conflicted feelings. Just having survived a heart attack, I felt blessed, but I was also scared.

What if the doctors were right? What if I was committing a suicide by not taking their drugs?

I knew that if I didn’t die of a heart attack, my wife would want to kill me for taking such a risk and not considering her, our kids, and our grandchildren when making such a drastic decision.

I was so distracted by my thoughts that I didn’t notice that I had walked right into and almost knocked over what seemed to be a younger gentleman.

“No worries,” he said with a smile. And then he looked at me.

Yes, I hadn’t even recognized my old best buddy, Oliver. Same age as me, but he looked 20 years younger.

I had hardly seen him since high school when he began to tour with some of the biggest rock bands. He became quite successful, setting up stages and other parts of tour planning.

the last time I saw him sex, drugs,and rock ’n roll had become his life.

But it looked like his lifestyle had completely changed.

I told Oliver about my heart attack and my concerns.

“You made the right decision,” he said. And then he added:

“let me give you the inside information of the rich and famous.”

Have you ever wondered why so many rock stars, actors, business moguls, and politicians seem to not age at all?

How they can keep jumping around on stage, appearing in movie after movie, managing huge companies, and running for president into their seventies and eighties?

You hardly ever hear about them dying of stroke or heart attack, do you?

And these people haven’t necessarily been living the healthiest lives.

Well, Oliver told me how the stars he worked with took off once or twice a year and went to secret health retreats in Europe.

And in these secret retreats, doctors treat them with real medicine, not the drugs that pharmaceutical companies produce just to make money.

we shouldn’t even call it medicine.

Because they use no medications – just small dietary and lifestyle changes.

So, when Oliver almost lost his life to a heart attack, one of his clients, a major star (I’m not allowed to say who), sent him off to the German Alps in a private jet for treatment.

Expecting to be put on an intensive low cholesterol diet and an extensive exercise program, Oliver was in for a surprise.

he ate like a king and enjoyed the best time of his life.

For the month in the retreat, he was never hungry, and he loved the food.

If it wasn’t for the education he got, he wouldn’t even have understood what it was that was being cut out of his diet.

He seemed to be eating everything normally.

Because this one ingredient that is the single cause of all the plaque buildup in your arteries is something that you don’t even know you’re eating.

After his retreat, however, his medical checkup revealed he had the heart and stamina of a 25 year old. And people no longer recognized him because he looked so young.

Oliver was even reluctant to tell me what the ingredient was, because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement.

but he did and now I’ll tell you: oxidized cholesterol . . .

. . . And it’s a completely different ballgame than LDL or HDL cholesterol.

New, breakthrough studies have found this type of cholesterol to be the main building block of plaque in the arteries.

There is actually not a trace of normal LDL in the plaque that narrows your arteries, causes heart attack, and drains your energy.

It’s all oxidized cholesterol.

However, you’ll never hear it mentioned in the mainstream media. Nor will you ever see it listed on food labels.

I’ll tell you in a second how to avoid oxidized cholesterol. But first, I must explain . . .

. . . what in the world oxidized cholesterol is.

It’s a chemical reaction. Just like iron begins to rust when it comes in contact with oxygen, LDL cholesterol becomes damaged in the same way. You could say that oxidized cholesterol is rusted LDL cholesterol.

Let’s take an example of how oxidized cholesterol causes heart attack:

=> John has an LDL cholesterol level of 100

=> Pete has an LDL cholesterol level of 200

But 80% of John’s LDL is oxidized (rusted), whereas only 5% of Pete’s is oxidized (rusted).

Now you see that John’s oxidized cholesterol level is actually 80, whereas Pete’s oxidized level is only 10.

This may all sound a little complicated. Just think about it as if John is driving a small city car that is 80% rusted while Pete has a big SUV that is only 5% rusted.

which one do you think is going to break down sooner?

Yes, John’s of course.

This explains why some people have plaque buildup and heart attacks with their LDL at 100 while others have healthy hearts even if their LDL measures 200.

Just like rust in a car spreads, oxidized cholesterol attacks and drills itself into your arteries (like a tick digging itself under your skin), causing inflammation and other damage.

Only oxidized cholesterol builds up on your arterial walls; LDL does not. This has been proven in many studies, but doctors still focus on LDL instead of oxidized cholesterol.

This is what oxidized cholesterol plaque looks like in your arteries:

Only LDL (bad cholesterol), not HDL (good cholesterol), can be oxidized. And oxidized cholesterol does cause an increase in LDL.

So, that’s why a high LDL level is an indicator that you’re at risk of heart attack and stroke.

But it’s not the cause.

Now the big question is:

how can you clear out your rusted arteries?

“Do you have time?” Oliver asked.

We sat down for a coffee while he explained this all to me in detail. I was surprised to see him load his coffee with full fat cream.

Every organic product “oxidizes” at some point if it comes into contact with oxygen.

• Fruits rot
• Milk goes sour
• Meats gather mold

. . . and most importantly, when it comes to your heart health, fat goes rancid.

Since cholesterol and fat are closely connected, just slightly oxidized (rancid) fat will destroy the cholesterol in your blood.

I could give you a long chemical discussion but to put it simply:

Like one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel, just a small amount of consumed oxidized fat will spread oxidization around your arteries and create plaque buildup.

not all fats are created equal.

Different types of oils can be highly oxidized before you even begin to feel their effects. In fact, the more processed an oil is, the more oxidized it becomes, even before you buy it in a supermarket.

The worst type of fats are actually vegetable cooking oils, such as sunflower and safflower oils.

These oils were hyped in the 1980s when the cholesterol myth became mainstream. People were encouraged to use these oxidized oils instead of healthy oils, such as:

• Butter
• Coconut oil
• Olive oil

. . . and other healthy oils that don’t oxidize quite so easily. In fact, things high in saturated fats, like butter and especially coconut oil, are almost impossible to oxidize.

So, what are the results after 30 years of propaganda against cholesterol and the use of these dangerous cooking oils?

nore people have high cholesterol and are dying from heart attack and stroke than 30 years ago!

If you read somewhere that the number of people with high cholesterol has gone down, it’s because millions of people are taking statins that force cholesterol down.

But that hasn’t reduced the number of people dying from cardiovascular diseases.

Contrarily, more people are dying!

In fact, the number of people with high cholesterol plus the number of people taking statins is way higher than before the ridiculous “low cholesterol diet” propaganda began.

statistics from the American Heart Association tell us a lot:

• Cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death –representing 1/3 of all deaths. Someone dies from one of these diseases every 40 seconds in the USA, and the worldwide numbers are similar.
• The number of deaths from cardiovascular diseases are increasing and are expected to increase even more. The low-fat hype and overuse of statins has done nothing to prevent death from cardiovascular diseases.
• The cost of cardiovascular diseases and stroke total more than $320.1 billion per year in the USA alone. We’re talking $2 trillion worldwide. No wonder pharmaceutical companies don’t want to miss out on this goldmine.

does it look like we’re making progress? No!

Because nobody is focusing on the oxidized cholesterol that is really the building block of plaque in your arteries and the cause of stroke and heart attack.

The really bad news is that since you probably already have an overload of oxidized cholesterol in your system and plaque is already blocking your arteries, you must take drastic actions to reverse this.

Just like Oliver and I did.

You must work on lowering your oxidized cholesterol level and clear out the plaque in your arteries.

or you’re going to die! cold, hard fact.

Cutting out oxidized fats and replacing them with healthy fats and good cholesterol is only the beginning.

There are several key factors that oxidize the cholesterol in your system. Some have to do with your diet, others don’t.

The good news is that you can tackle all these factors naturally without medications or supplements.

This is what they did for Oliver and his star friends in Germany. And what Oliver replicated for me.

I was lucky.

Since Oliver was my old friend, he became obsessed with helping me regain my health and, ultimately, saved my life by showing me The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy from Blue Heron Health News

• I learned what to cut out and what to keep in to eliminate oxidization.
• I followed a four-week plan through the new diet and lifestyle process effortlessly.

here’s the surprise.

Every day, I felt better, stronger, and happier.

– Pain I didn’t even know I had disappeared.
– The mental focus I didn’t realize I had lost returned.

My boss came over to me three weeks into the program and asked me what was going on. He had planned to recommend an early retirement but now he wanted to promote me.

In the gym, I was doing more than kids half my age – and I was loving it.

Best of all, the romance in my marriage was blooming. Not just because I had more stamina, but my drive and libido had been refueled.

And my wife loved it!

However, the biggest surprise was . . .

. . . How effortless this all was!

I had gone through and failed so many low cholesterol, low fat, low this and low that diets.

I had tried so many times to pick myself up in the gym and gain progress. It was always like I was swimming against the stream.

But with The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy, it was more like I was swept away.

I never felt as though I had to give up anything I didn’t like.

Of course, I had to make adjustments, but I could still enjoy my Sunday steak and morning scrambled eggs with toast and butter.

and then came the shocker.

My heart doctor was a leading cardiovascular expert and working at one of the “world-class” medical institutes in the country.

When I went for a checkup after completing The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy, he found almost no traces of plaque in my arteries.

My “bad cholesterol” level had dropped from over 200 to below 100, and my “good cholesterol” had spiked.

All without medication.

of course, he was curious and asked me how I did it.

Once I told him, he hung his head.

“I know,” he said.

The fact was that one of the big pharmaceutical companies owned the majority in this world-class medical institute.

My doctor’s hands were tied. He had to go by what his bosses said, no matter how bad it was for his conscious (and his patients).

He has since left that institution and opened a small practice of his own to practice “real medicine.” But without the support of big pharma, he’s struggling.

the first thing I said to oliver was . . .

“We have to tell people about this. We can’t just enjoy our lives while others suffer and die.”

So do yourself a favor and check out The Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy from Blue Heron Health News and follow through the four-week strategy to eliminate all plaque buildup in your arteries and prevent stroke and heart attack.

• They will teach you exactly which foods cause oxidized cholesterol and which reduce it. You’ll be shocked to know about all the delicious foods you can actually eat.
• They will lead you week by week to add a new step toward dropping your oxidized-cholesterol level and clearing out your arteries. Since we will do this little by little, it will be almost effortless.
• They will give you tools to monitor and manage your strategy to make sure you succeed with the program. This works exactly the same as when Oliver called me every night, except you don’t have to waste your time on a phone call.

Best of all . . .

Is how you’re going to feel just four weeks from now.

Because, unlike simply dropping your cholesterol level, your arteries will actually grow younger and cleaner. You’ll have more energy than you thought possible.

Blood will now flow effortlessly to your muscles, brain, and skin, giving you this young, fresh, beautiful aura. People will be commenting on how good you look.

And you’ll not have to worry about having the same fate as the majority of people around you – which is to die from a heart attack or stroke.

You’ll be able to enjoy your time with your grandchildren and great grandchildren, and get the most out of your golden years with your spouse.

because right now, you’ve three clear choices:

choice #1:

Put your head in the sand. Ignore the signs that your heart is struggling and your arteries are clogged up.

Ignore that you don’t have the same energy as before because your muscles and organs are not getting enough blood supply.

Write this all off as “a normal sign of aging.”

Results: You will most definitely suffer a fatal heart attack, or be left paralyzed or worse after a major stroke.

It could happen in a year, a month, or today, but it will eventually happen.

choice #2:

Take dangerous prescription medications that – as we’ve proven before – do nothing to save your life. They will, however, cause all kinds of complications, even death, in the way of side effects.

At the very best, they will just worsen your standard of life, causing you weakness, nerve damage, and aches and pains.

At the very worst, they will lead to cancer and type 2 diabetes before you die from a heart attack. (Yes, I’m being harsh on purpose because I want you to live).

Results: The same as in choice 1 – but with bad side effects leading up to it.

choice #3:

Take action today to drop your oxidized-cholesterol level to clear out your clogged arteries and boost your energy.

This is beyond avoiding heart attack or stroke. Even beyond avoiding dying.

This is about drastically improving your life:

• To feel better than you’ve felt for years.
• To have more mental focus, vigor, and joy.
• To look and feel young and energized again.

It’s about the comfort you and your family will have knowing that you’re going to stick around for a long, long time.

And it’s about the pride you will have because you took action. You didn’t just give up or take the easy route of popping useless pills.

You took the road less traveled; you took matters into your own hands and did it your way.

Just think about having a conversation with your friends who are suffering the side effects of statins. Imagine explaining to them why your heart is as good as a 25 year old’s and why you’ve more energy than they could ever dream of.

these are the results I want you to experience.

breaking update:

There is currently the threat of a lawsuit for sharing this information about oxidized cholesterol and how to eliminate it naturally.

The German health center, as well as some US pharmaceutical companies, do not want this knowledge spread to the general public. Especially since it’s for only a fraction of the price they charge in their health center (aside from the additional travel and lodging expenses).

So, I may be forced by the courts to take this page down at any time. This could happen fast. 

So, if this page is not here the next time you visit, and this important information is no longer available, you know what happened.

I beg you, don’t let them win the war against your heart and health.

The post cut one ingredient to lower cholesterol! appeared first on cool shit that actually works.

My ab muscles and bicep veins became visible.

As someone who had struggled with his weight since childhood, these things just didn’t seem to be in my reality. You see, I exercised regularly and probably ate healthier than most and yet I never seem to see any results. I attributed this to “bad genetics”. That is, until three years ago.

And you know what’s perhaps even more impressive? The fifty pounds I lost never came back.

how I lost 50 pounds in 1 month

Three years ago, something traumatic happened and caused me to completely lose my appetite for about 2 weeks. I’d have my morning cup of coffee and just pace around my condo while drinking it, my mind racing. Finally, by around 11am, I’d have a couple of eggs and maybe a piece of breakfast meat. Dinner would be whatever I felt like, without going overboard on portions or carbs.

Just two weeks of that and my clothes were already significantly looser. I month in and I went from a tight 36″ waist to a loose 31″ waist

This’s when I started to notice my abs. It sounds lame, but I actually spent hours looking at myself in the mirror, because I couldn’t believe it was real. In fact, part of me was scared shitless that I was just going to put the weight right back on, as soon as my appetite returned.

I was determined to not let this happen. It turns out that seeing tangible results can reveal an inner resolve you didn’t know you had!

how I kept the weight off

Three years later, I can still see my muscles. I’m still a size 31″ waist.

There’s no doubt that daily exercise is a big factor in my ongoing success. I do cross-fit and/or yoga pretty much every day. Furthermore, most of what I like to do for fun is active.

That said, I lost the weight and saw my abs BEFORE I started doing cross-fit or yoga.

In fact, I’ve gone to the gym and been active my whole adult life and never saw much change. That’s why I attribute my success mostly to diet.

my healthy diet principles

Let’s get into some light theory. When you wake up, your body is in fat-burning mode, since you haven’t eaten for 8 or more hours. However, as soon as you eat carbs, your body exits fat burning mode. Therefore, I wanted to delay eating carbs as long as possible.

Furthermore, there are reasons to believe certain carbs are worse than others. I’m not going to go down that rabbit hole here, but suffice to say I decided to stay away from grains and sugars as much as possible, while allowing myself limited amounts of starchy root vegetables and fruits.

So given these principles, it would seem that perhaps breakfast IS the most important meal of the day.

the best breakfast for fat-loss and muscle growth

You’ll recall from my story above, that coffee for breakfast was what seemingly started it all for me. I had not yet heard of intermittent fasting at the time, but was essentially practicing it since I didn’t eat until around 11am.

As my appetite returned, I started tweaking this central component of my diet so that I’m now adding the following three ingredients to my Puerto Rican coffee every morning:

• heavy cream – has zero carbs (sugars) unlike most other creamers
• collagen peptides – provides muscle-building protein along with skin and joint support
• creatine monohydrate – intermittent fasting can lead to losing muscle mass, so I added this to counter act this

Pro tip: I highly recommend using a frother for the cream. It makes the cream seem sweeter without adding any sugar!

I’ll follow my coffee up with my first real meal of the day at around 12:30pm; fried eggs with some type of nitrate-free breakfast meat. You’ll notice I still haven’t really had any carbs so I can potentially stay in fat-burning mode until dinner!

conclusion

That sexy body you always wanted IS accessible to you. If nothing else, just try my go-to breakfast out for yourself. In just a few weeks, you may be surprised by what you see in the mirror!

Unfortunately though, testosterone levels generally decline gradually as men age, taking it’s benefits with it as it goes.

how to boost your testosterone naturally

• Lift heavy weights – (squats in particular trigger the release of testosterone and human growth hormone)
• Get plenty of sleep
• Maintain a healthy body weight
• Manage stress levels
• Limit alcohol intake

If you have everything above handled and your testosterone levels are still not where you want them to be, you are probably considering other more drastic measures. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in particular is becoming more widely used.

Although, TRT has proven to be immensely valuable to countless men, it is not without it’s downsides. In my mind the biggest of these is that once you start TRT, you will likely need to rely on the treatment for the rest of your life.

supplements to boost your testosterone naturally

This is why I when I heard of some promising natural supplements that help boost your testosterone, I was excited to try them. The first one I tried was Tongkat Ali, a long used herbal supplement in Malaysia.

It just so happened that I had my bloodwork done just before I started taking Tongkat Ali and then had it checked again about 9 months in. I was hoping to see at least a modest increase in my testosterone levels, but I was blown away by the results. My total testosterone levels increased by 43% to over 1000 ng/dL!

The success of Tongkat Ali got me interested in another testosterone boosting supplement promoted by Andrew Huberman, Fadogia Agrestis. I have not yet gotten my bloodwork done since I started, so I’m not 100% sure if this supplement will provide a further boost for me.

my dosage

Tongkat Ali – One capsule (400 mg) daily with my morning coffee with no formal schedule for cycling off.

Fadogia Agrestis – One capsule (300 mg) daily with lunch, which is half the dose recommended by Huberman. However, my preference is find the minimum effective dose, versus maxing out.

how to boost your testosterone naturally

In my experience, Tongkat Ali fully qualifies as some cool shit that actually works! I’m hopeful that Fadogia Agrestis will prove to be as well!
