There might not be anything more important than taking care of your heart. And doing so can be simple. At least simple in theory. It takes dedication and consistent habits to keep your heart healthy throughout your life. Here are some of the habits of those living a heart healthy life:

Why You Should Worry about Your Gut Health

As more and more research results come to light, one thing is becoming clear: your gut has far more to do with your overall physical and emotional health than any of us previously realized. When your gut is not healthy, you can experience all kinds of problems. A Quick Overview of Your Digestive System In order to understand the importance of the gut, you need to know how the digestive system works in general.

Blood Sugar and Weight Gain

Decades of research links excess body fat to insulin resistance. This resistance occurs when the pancreas produces insulin that is not used properly by the cells. Under normal conditions when blood sugar levels rise after eating, the pancreas secretes insulin that allows the cells to take in and use glucose (sugar) for energy. When cells become resistant they don’t respond to insulin. Excess glucose builds in the bloodstream and is eventually stored as fat. This triggers carbohydrate cravings and fatigue because the cells are literally starving for the fuel and energy they need to function. Giving in to the carbohydrate cravings result in weight gain, and the vicious cycle continues. Why is insulin resistance (also known as type 2 diabetes) on the rise? Think back in time. Our early ancestors obtained whole foods from the environment and expended a lot of physical activity to do so. Today we consume processed foods laden with sweeteners and no longer have to forage

Genetics Don’t Affect Your Immune System, But This Does

A general consensus was that your genes determined how strong or weak your immune system was. New research on twins dispels this notion, and claims that your immune system is not made, it’s born . The Scientific American is quoted: “In one of the most comprehensive analyses of immune function performed to date, researchers analyzed blood samples from 105 sets of healthy twins. They measured immune cell populations and their chemical messengers—204 parameters in all—before and after participants received a flu shot.

You Are What You Digest: Food Enzymes

Your body is a miraculous machine that knows just what to do when you give it the fuel it needs to maintain health, upkeep your internal organs and systems, and recover from illness. But how does it all work and how do you keep it all from going wrong? We’ve all heard the old adage, “You are what you eat,” but if we want to get technical (and we do, don’t we?), a more accurate credo would be “You are what you digest.”
