An Aspirin a Day Keeps the… Doctor Here to Stay

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.

Each year, one million people suffer from a heart attack; and half of them die.

At least 600,000 Americans have a stroke, which is the third leading cause of death.

Aggressive attempts have been made throughout the years to prevent and treat cardiovascular disease, including the daily use of aspirin.

Aspirin therapy helps prevent blood platelets from sticking together and forming clots.

This, in turn, keeps blood thin and flowing more smoothly, thus lowering the risk of heart attacks and strokes. (Both are usually the result of a clot lodging in a narrowed artery and choking off the tissue’s blood supply.)

But there is a gray cloud inside this silver lining. Although aspirin appears as a simple over-the-counter treatment, it is in fact a drug that produces side effects-many of which can be severe.

Long-term aspirin use has been linked to cataracts, macular degeneration, kidney damage and peptic ulcers. Aspirin irritates and erodes the stomach lining and often leads to gastrointestinal bleeding. The chance of bleeding is even higher when aspirin is used in combination with other anti-inflammatory drugs.

In addition, aspirin therapy can cause bleeding in the brain, especially in elderly folks. Healthy people taking aspirin as a preventative measure to ward off stokes can also develop bleeding. Supposedly the occurrence is rare; nonetheless, the risk is still there.

As if that isn’t bad enough, research is now showing that many people are resistant to aspirin. That is, aspirin does nothing to protect them from heart attacks and strokes.

In fact, taking aspirin makes them more susceptible to both conditions. Apparently, the clotting ability of their blood is strong enough to prevent aspirin from doing its job. This action makes their situation worse and increases the likelihood of having a heart attack or stroke.

Some researchers suggest that any where from 20 to 49 percent of the population is aspirin-resistant. A recent analysis of 2,367 people found that 26 percent were resistant to the effects of aspirin.

Of these individuals, 33 percent suffered a heart attack, stroke or other health problem. Although it is not completely understood, resistance may be higher in men, diabetics, smokers, and those who have high blood pressure.

Unfortunately, many doctors continue to prescribe aspirin on a routine basis to their patients. As is often the case in our society, medication is thought to be the solution for all of our ills. Because every drug has side effects, they should be used very cautiously.

Also, one of the most effective blood thinners are proteolytic enzymes. Not only do they thin the blood naturally, but they also cleanse the blood of toxins, kill viruses and bacteria, eat away at excess fibrin (scar tissue) and reduce inflammation and pain.

You can learn more about proteolytic enzymes here.

Often times, there are other, safer ways of preventing disease or getting one’s health back. For example, exercising, eating right, and controlling stress greatly reduce the risk of heart disease.

Several studies have found that garlic as well as fish oil lowers cholesterol and thins the blood, protecting against clots. Antioxidants found naturally in fruits and vegetables help prevent everything from cancer to heart attacks.

Bromelain, a natural enzyme in pineapple, acts as an anti-inflammatory and also keeps plaques from developing in artery walls. Bromelain is just one of the 11 proven pain relievers that are found in “Heal-n-Soothe”. You can learn more about this all-natural anti-inflammatory here.

Eating small amounts of chocolate has even been associated with reducing heart disease risk. Research shows that cocoa beans contain natural plant chemicals that are good for blood flow.

However, milk chocolate contains considerably fewer of these chemicals, compared to dark chocolate. It contains a lot of added sugar as well. So look for bars with a minimum of 60 percent cocoa and not too much added sugar. Chocolate, of course, is high in calories, so go easy on your consumption.

While taking aspirin regularly may be beneficial for some people, it is not without risk. And in many cases, aspirin may do more harm than good.

All drugs have side effects, including over-the-counter medications, so their use should be carefully considered.

Healthy lifestyle habits and other natural remedies need be taken into account as alternatives to drugs whenever possible.

So, dump the aspirin and use the safer and proven alternatives.

Subject: backjoy
To: jesse

I am loving it. I am talking about the backjoy. Sitting has been a drag. The backjoy has been such a relief. Since 10 years  I cannot sit without discomfort and this is for the first time that I say I feel a relief!! Thank you for inventing this piece of art. I hope I will get much more relief, the beginning is here.

Jesse,
The Back Joy is nothing short of amazing!  I carry it around with me everywhere I go because I can sit so much more comfortably. Without Back Joy I could only sit for 20 minutes without sciatic pain due to a herniated disc.

Using the Back Joy triples that time before I have to get up and do some stretching.  I’m still working on improving muscle balance issues and expect the length of comfortable sitting will improve over time.  Thanks for some fine products and continued motivation.

Joyce Banttari

So did you grab your Back Joy yet? If not, do yourself a favor and grab one of these things now…

It works incredibly well, is super affordable and you can use it at home, in the car and at work. Just like Martina and Joyce above, you too will be thanking me

Ok, now real quick before I share with you the top 5 treatments, I want to answer a question that I received recently that maybe you too have been thinking…

Here’s the email question I received:

Subject: RE: Simple Change To How You Sit Can Greatly Reduce Pain
To: Jesse Cannone

Jesse,

I don’t understand why you want me to spend $49 after I have already spent $100 on your Lose the Back Pain system.  I don’t understand why you tout 2 products that are supposed to do the same thing—- eliminate back pain.

I am using your Lose the Back pain system and am having a little success but I am surprised you are recommending I buy another product, how many products do you want me to buy?

Jeff

——- end Jeff’s email ——–

Hi Jeff and thanks for your email and great question…

The fact is, the two products do two completely different things. Can you get relief with just one, probably. But what we have found in working with tens of thousands of people who suffer from various types of back pain, neck pain, sciatica, etc is that most people get the best results when they combine multiple treatments. And in just a minute I’ll share with you our list of the top 5 treatments…

In this particular case, the Lose The Back Pain system will help you to get relief by identifying and addressing your muscle imbalances and the Back Joy can’t do that… and there are some things the LTBP system can’t do…. for example, it can’t help you sit more comfortably and with better posture, and that’s what the Back Joy does.

Again, I am not saying you need to buy both or everything that we sell… but what I’m trying to do is show you all of the things that we have found to be helpful so you can decide what you want to try. And if you ever have questions please feel free to give us a call… where here to help.

Ok, here’s the formula that we have found to deliver the best results:

1. Reduce the pain and inflammation

You can do this with a natural anti-inflammatory like Lifezyme Plus or something similar. Remember, this will NOT eliminate the underlying, physical cause of the problem… it will deal with the inflammation but it is not going to correct muscle imbalances, decompress your spine, force you to sit up straight, etc… the goal is to reduce pain so you can work on addressing the underlying cause(s).

2. Identify and address the underlying, “hidden” cause: muscle imbalances.

You can do this by working with a qualified health care professional who is experienced in muscle imbalances, if you can find one or do it yourself in about 30 minutes or less using our Lose The Back Pain System.

The challenge here is that there are so few health care professionals out there who are experienced in what we call “muscle balance therapy” and that’s why our system has been so successful.

Would it be better to work with someone, of course, but what if you can’t find someone near you or what if you can’t afford all of the visits? Plus, there’s no way on earth that you can get the system and not benefit tremendously. But don’t take it from me, read, listen to and watch the hundreds of success stories on our website.

3. Use Trigger Point Therapy to reduce pain and relieve chronically tight muscles.

You can do this yourself and there are several books on the subject or you can find a qualified health care professional who specializes in treating trigger points. There are therapists who specialize in trigger point therapy and you can also often find chiropractors and massage therapists who have been trained and can help you. I also suggest you check out our trigger point self treatment system.

4. Reduce spinal compression with inversion therapy or traction.

Traction is typically performed by a chiropractor or physical therapist but you can also get great results just by using an inversion table. Inversion therapy has been used for over 2000 years and has been shown to work really well when dealing with a herniated disc. Click here to learn more about how spinal decompression works.

5. Use mind-body exercises and techniques to reduce and “block” pain.

Not only can they reduce pain, but they can also change you mindset and beliefs. One of the biggest reasons so many people suffer year after year with various types of pain is their mindset. They have a negative attitude, they are the people who say “I’ve tried everything and nothing worked.. I’m going to spend the rest of my life miserable and in pain” and they are so close-minded that they’ll walk right past the solution to their problem.

Whether you believe it or not, it’s a proven FACT that your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and attitude play a big role in your ability to recover. Click here for 9 of the most powerful mind-body techniques

Are there other treatments that work, of course, but in working with tens of thousands of people suffering from back pain, neck pain and sciatica, these are the 5 things that we have found deliver the best results for people.

That’s all for today…

Jesse

—–Start of email—–

Just a note to tell you that I have been taking Lifezyme Plus for 2 months now and
I am really feeling better.  Back and neck pain is relieved, I am standing straighter
and taller  I have  added  two palates classes Monday and Wednesdays.

I’m 57 with osteoarthritis and a cervical neck fusion I was in horrible
pain and now I look forward to another day.  I was very hesitate to write because I
was not sure these pain free  capsules would work.  Rah! Rah! Jesse.

The only question I have is can I continue with Lifezyme forever or do I
have to stop once the pain is relieved.  I find it hard to believe that all the
prescription medicine and pain management shots did not work as well as this product.
Even my Fibromyalgia is better.  Thanks again.  Also it is good to know
that while LIfezyme is a tool, diet and exercise plays a big part too. Hope to hear
from you.

——– end email ——–

This is great! And everyday we get emails like this from people who have
tried nearly everything and barely got relief and then try Lifezyme Plus and
are amazed by the results.While most people are surprised by the fact that it
works better than prescriptions and injections, they shouldn’t be. When you
think about how they work and compare it to how the enzymes, herbs and
nutrients in Lifezyme Plus work, it makes complete sense.

Instead of the band aid approach of blocking the pain so you don’t feel
it, Lifezyme Plus goes to work right away to reduce the underlying cause of the pain,
which is in large part, the inflammation.

Click here, If you want to learn more about how proteolytic enzymes

While we new proteolytic enzymes therapy worked well at reducing
inflammation and pain, we had no idea it would work for so many other
conditions andtypes of pain!

The list of conditions, ailments and types of pain that can be improved
or eliminated with Lifezyme Plus now inlcludes:

- Arthritis
- Back Pain
- Muscle Pain / Soreness
- Head Aches
- PMS Pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Sinus Pain
- Sciatica
- Neck Pain
- Viruses
- Chronic Fatigue
- Allergies
- Uterine Fibroids
- And even more!
If you are like me, and you want to have a safe but effective alternative  to all the
harsh, dangerous and often times, addictive medications, I suggest you give
Lifezyme Plus a try and see just how well it works:

You would think that with all of these amazing new products that most people would be walking around with that nice, lean mid-section they’ve always wanted. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.

Most, if not all of these products, will do little or nothing to flatten your stomach.  And that’s because these exercise contraptions cannot eliminate the layer of fat that lies on top of your abs.

In order to be successful at thinning your waistline you must have a basic understanding of how the ab muscles function and how your body burns fat.  The first thing that needs to be understood is the difference between fat and muscle.

Fat is excess calories and is primarily stored in layers on top of muscle tissue. Muscle is made up of fibers that contract or shorten to produce movement.

Fat cannot turn into muscle and muscle cannot turn into fat!  However, you can lose muscle and you can gain fat.  That’s what happens to most people.

So if your goal is to thin your waist line and have a nice flat stomach, the first thing you need to do is decrease / eliminate the layers of fat that are on top of your abs. We all have a flat stomach; it’s just some of our’s are covered by excess fat.
The most effective way of flattening your stomach is a combination of strength training (with a extra focus on mid-section), cardiovascular exercise (short, hard workouts), and stable blood sugar (keeps you from adding additional fat and makes it easier for the body to use body fat for fuel).

I should also mention that a flat stomach not only looks good but it also prevents muscle imbalances between the hips and abs which cause more than 80% of all lower back pain! So remember, a strong flat stomach means a strong, healthy lower back!
1. You must do some form of progressive strength training
The primary function of the abdominal muscle is to flex your torso forward.  However, there are also muscles that flex your torso to the side and muscles that rotate your torso.  Often times you see people on their ab roller every day doing hundreds of crunches or sit-ups.

If you want to effectively strengthen your stomach you need to incorporate the following types of exercises:

1-2 forward flexion exercises (reverse crunch, knee raises, crunch, sit-up, etc.)
1-2 side flexion exercises (side bends, side crunches, etc.)
1-2 rotational exercises (trunk rotations, standing twists, etc.)
Choose at least 1-2 exercises that target the lower abs , 1-2 for the obliques (love handles), and 1-2 for the upper abs. There are thousands of ab exercises to choose from – way too many for me to list here, however, I will give you a list of some of the better ones.
Great Ab Exercises
Reverse crunch
Ab Pike
Hanging knee raise
Torso rotation (twist)
Leg lowering
Side bends
Exercise ball crunches

Again, there are tons of choices when it comes to ab exercises and while there are some that are better than others, the key is to just make sure you work hard and progressively!

The abs, are muscles just like any other and should be worked on average 3 times per week.  While you can work out daily, base your frequency on how hard you worked them last time. For example, if you worked your core really hard yesterday and are sore, it’s not a good idea to work them hard again today. If you do anything at all, it should be light and just to get them moving.
2. Use short, hard cardio workouts to increase metabolism
Cardio workouts are important because they CAN, if done correctly, increase your metabolism for 4-24 hours or more!  This means you are less likely to store any excess calories as body fat because they are more likely to be used by your elevated metabolism.  Plus, you are more likely to burn off some excess body fat.

Below is a sample interval workout that can be done with just about any activity (walking, bicycling, swimming, stair climbing, etc.).

Warm up at easy pace 2-5 minutes… Perform 30 seconds of hard work (almost as hard as possible)… perform 1 minute of moderate work (recovery time-catch breath)… Repeat this process 6-10 times… Cool down at an easy pace for 2-5 minutes.
3. Stable blood sugar is the key
And most importantly, you must stabilize your blood sugar!  This is by far the most important factor when it comes to burning away that excess body fat and keeping it off!  To effectively stabilize your blood sugar you must feed your body frequently; like every 2-3 hours. The key is to give your body only what it needs at that time.

Your body burns calories 24 hours a day, so, why would you only feed it once or twice a day? Give your body the fuel it needs: vegetables, fruits, nuts, berries, whole grains, and lean proteins (chicken, fish, lean beef, eggs, etc.).

Many people are too hung up on how much fat is in food, or how healthy of a choice it is.  Calories are calories and it doesn’t matter where they come from. If there’s extra… where’s it going? Yup, you guessed it… body fat!

This is not to say that what you eat is not important because it is, it just doesn’t have that much of an affect when it comes to fat loss.  Try to make healthy choices whenever possible, but don’t feel like if you eat a cheeseburger it is guaranteed to be stored as fat. You can learn more metabolism boosting tricks here

4. Get the help of a professional
Unfortunately, most people don’t know enough about the human body, nutrition, or effective exercise to meet their health and fitness goals.  Ask yourself this one question, “Am I happy with my current progress or condition?”   If you’re not, you should consider getting the help of a qualified personal fitness professional.

Don’t depend on the information you get from magazines or from your local gym/ health club.  A qualified fitness professional can help you achieve your health and fitness goals, and in less time than you would imagine.
If you are serious about your health and fitness goals, and you are ready for that flat stomach, I recommend you start implementing the 4 strategies listed in this article. These 4 strategies can help you take control of your metabolism and burn off that excess body fat and having you looking and feeling great!
Well, I hope you found this article helpful.

Feel free to forward it to anyone you know who can benefit from it and keep your eyes peeled for some more great articles.

3. Can Proper Nutrition and Supplementation Heal Your Back Pain?

While most bodybuilders dread hearing the word “rest”, many fail to realize that there is far more to rest than just avoiding overtraining. When you perform a tough workout you not only stress that muscle or muscle group, you also place stress on the cardiovascular, neuromuscular and components of the immune system…

For example, many bodybuilders will train their chest 2-3 times a week and spend an hour or more performing dozens of exercises just for the pecs…

While this may sound ok to some, when you add in the stress of other workouts it can quickly add up to too much stress in one or more ways. I hear bodybuilders all the time say “I let my body rest by splitting up my workouts” and “I worked chest yesterday so today I’ll train my back”… that’s NOT rest!
