| | | January 28, 2025 | | Advertisement | | Heart disease breakthrough being sold at Walmart? | Back in 1989, Harvard researchers made a strange discovery…Most heart attacks occur between the hours of 6 a.m. and noon.
And the ones that happen during this “widowmaker window” are far deadlier than any other time of day.
For years, researchers have speculated about why mornings are so lethal. They’ve thrown every explanation they can think of at the wall—blood-pressure-raising commutes…heart-thumping workouts...cholesterol-laden eggs…etc., etc.
But none of them have stuck.
Because it turns out the REAL cause of morning heart attacks is far more common than any of those shot-in-the-dark theories.
Yet, cardiologists RARELY warn patients about it. In fact, some doctors don’t even check for the simple, easy-to-correct nutrient deficiency lurking behind America’s No. 1 killer.
Watch this exclusive video now to find out if you’re at risk…And how the key to a complete cardiovascular 180 is possible—with a simple, natural supplement you can pick up in any WalMart, Target, or supermarket. | | | | Diet and Parkinson’s: A powerful partnership | Dear Reality Health Check Reader,
Imagine my surprise when I read the first sentence of this article…
“Interest is growing in the role of nutrition as means of slowing, or even preventing, neurodegeneration in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).”
Finally! But what took so long?
Let’s talk about it…
(Article continues below.) | | Advertisement | | Fall asleep faster!? Try THIS crazy technique | Want to fall asleep faster?
Here's a technique... Touch the roof of your mouth with your tongue... Then DO THIS. It sounds weird... but it REALLY can work.
And it's 100% backed by science.
Try it here. | | | “Nothing can be done?”
For basically my entire career, it seems conventional docs have told their patients that “nothing can be done” to treat certain ailments, like PD.
As a result, some of you might sit back and wait for something to come along—usually in the form of a prescription drug—that may or may not help. All while trying to accept your fate.
Or—perhaps you go for a second (or even third) opinion. In fact, that’s how many of you end up in my office (or the office of another alternative medical doctor).
After all, so much of conventional medicine relies on cookie-cutter protocols—not out-of-the-box dogmatic thinking.
So, let me be clear…
You have MANY options to consider, no matter the diagnosis. And a simple place to start with your doctor is to ask them to treat you as a whole person.
Go over your current medications to see if any are unnecessary or causing more harm than good. Discuss your sleep, diet, digestion, and pooping habits. Talk about your exercise routine (or lack thereof) and your social network.
It might sound silly, but those are the fundamental pillars of good health. And it’s only then when you can discover a complementary approach to anything that ails you—including PD.
Your dietary choices always matter
While there are no randomized controlled trials on diet and PD, there’s plenty of scientific data supporting a positive association between the two.
Studies show that a healthy diet can delay Parkinson’s onset of 8.4 to 17.4 years. (Not too shabby for simply watching what you eat. Especially when there certainly aren’t any pharmaceuticals that can offer that type of protection.)
One study specifically showed that eating a healthier diet helped control common symptoms of PD, like constipation, excessive daytime sleepiness, and depression.
And yet another interesting finding points to the role of the gut microbiome, suggesting that gut dysbiosis might even cause PD. This thinking stems off the finding that gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms often occur years before the motor symptoms of PD (like tremors and slurred speech).
I don’t know about you, but I’d say those findings point to a powerful partnership.
See, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are harmful to our health in countless ways. But in the case of PD, one study shows that those who consume higher amounts of UPFs face a 56 percent higher risk of the neurodegenerative disease!
If that doesn’t get you to rethink your dietary choices, I’m not sure what will.
Indeed, it’s high time to ditch UPFs and adopt a balanced diet full of fresh, whole foods. It’s one of the best things you can do for your health—especially if you’re faced with a PD diagnosis.
Focus on lean proteins (like grass-fed and -finished beef, organic poultry, and wild-caught fish and seafood), healthy fats (from nuts, avocados, eggs, and dairy), and antioxidants and flavonoids (from plenty of organic, seasonal produce).
