1 Heart Nutrition Notes Nutrient Function Significance Where you get it Calcium Controls the contraction part of the heart. It is part of the 4 main electrolytes. The calcium scan is the best indicator of prediction of heart attacks. This is because calcium acts as a band-aid to heal the arteries. Doctors prescribe calcium channel blockers to rid the soft tissue calcium. Excess soft tissue calcium is a vitamin K2 deficiency. Calcium is only absorbed in a more acid medium (which is why people who have digestive problems can t absorb it) Vitamin D increases the absorption by 20x and raises it in the blood. Vitamin F also helps absorbs calcium into the tissues and skin TOO MUCH Stones Bone pain Abdominal pain Polyuria Depression Increased heart contraction Increased gastric ulcers Decreased sodium (muscle fatigue) - Calcifies arteries, brain, joints, heart valves - Is really a K2 deficiency - Could be low stomach acids RISKS: 10X Atrial Fib 5X Stroke 3x Heart Attack 5X Blood Pressure 25X Kidney Stones 4X GERD Many people take calcium carbonate, the wrong type TOO LOW Bruising Pins & needles (mouth, lips, extremities) Tetany Laryngeal spasm Arrhythmias ECG - leg cramps is the first sign of low calcium Calcium is the easiest mineral to get. We need 1000mg and can be gotten from vegetables and dairy. The problem is not getting enough dietary calcium, it s ensuring the body doesn t accumulate soft-tissue calcium.

2 Nutrient Function Significance Where you get it Potassium Potassium is the physiological relaxer and is involved in nerve transmission, muscle relaxation, electrolyte balance (protecting against fluid retention). Potassium always works closely with magnesium. TOO MUCH Palpitations Weakness Too acid TOO LOW High blood pressure Abnormal heart beats Cravings for sweets High pulse rate Aveage person consumes 1200mg of K+, but needs 4700mg. You need 7-10 cups of vegetables to get your potassium Magnesium is the major Magnesium TOO MUCH TOO LOW electrolyte in the heart. It controls the relaxation phase of the heart beat and muscles. Works closely with potassium. Is considered a natural calcium channel blocker. Highest amounts of magnesium is in the left Laxative effect Arrhythmias Rapid beats Stiff arteries HBP Angina Excessive calcium Mitral valve prolapsed Overactive stress hormones - If magnesium is low in the soils, the plant cannot make chlorophyll. - Statins are made from fluoride and thus deplete magnesium - Standard blood test rarely detect deficiencies; use the Magnesium RBC Test Magnesium deficiency can also occur from: -Too much vitamin D -Low stomach acids -Too much calcium -Too much potassium Most magnesium supplements are only absorbed by 20%.

3 Nutrient Function Significance Where you get it An essential electrolyte Sodium TOO MUCH TOO LOW for the heart, nerve, muscle and fluid balance in the body. Depletes potassium Fluid retention Calcium depletion Slightly high blood pressure Excess sodium is hidden in junk foods and as MSG Dehydration Weakness Increased overall death from cardiovascular insult. An average person consumes 1000+mg too much. Normal requirements are 2000mg and people consume 3500mg. Also consume sea salt 1 tsp is enough per day to get your requirement. K1 is a clotting vitamin. Vitamin K1 TOO MUCH TOO LOW Allows body to use calcium to clot (German word for Koagulation) However, there are 8 different types of K1 and some parts are even anti-clotting. It s part of the vitamin C complex. None Bruising Nose bleeds Bone loss Bleeding gums Eat lots of green leafy vegetables. Transports calcium to Vitamin K2 TOO MUCH TOO LOW your bones and teeth. None Helps make the arteries Allows body to use and joints more elastic. calcium to clot Vitamin D is necessary (German word for to activate and make K2 Koagulation) work. Calcification of arteries. Excess calcium in soft tissues (arteries, joints, brain, kidneys, gallbladder, teeth, etc.) Vitamin K2 Grass fed animal products Vegetarian source: natto

4 Nutrient Function Significance Where you get it Helps absorb calcium in gut by 20x show image. Vitamin D TOO MUCH TOO LOW Hypercalcemia Also brings calcium from (Calcification) the tissues to the blood Causes deficiencies Depression Lowers blood pressure. of vitamin K2 and vitamin F. High stress can block absorption of vitamin D High Blood pressure Low blood calcium Loss of bone Bone pain Low immune system 20 min of sun 10,000-40,000 IUs of D3 WITH 100mcg of K2 for every 10,000 IUs of D3. Our products adds K1 to help K2 work E2 fraction helps Vitamin E TOO MUCH TOO LOW increase O2 thus preventing cramping of the heart. It also causes high altitude discomfort. Good for acne, sex organs, menopausal women since vitamin E is stored in the pituitary. Also essential to prevent artery damage, which precedes a clogged artery. Vitamin E has manganese as part of its complex Hypervitaminosis in E depletes vitamin K, blotchy skin, decalcification of bone. Most cramps are caused by low calcium, but E deficiency can also cause it. Muscle weakness is the other very common symptom Lack of coordination Refined bleached flour products cause a vitamin E deficiency. Tocopherol is only the anti-oxidant part (7 in total) similar to ascorbic acid. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables.

5 Nutrient Function Significance Where you get it Is called: Vitamin F Polyunsaturated TOO MUCH TOO LOW Fatty Acids Is part of the Vitamin E complex None Farmers who get too much sun and too little vitamin F, get thick skin, hives. Vitamin F, also, protects against skin cancer from too much vitamin D. Sun is not dangerous IF you have enough vitamin F. Low F causes viruses to come out of remission (canker sores) Low F in the presence of lots of sun causes sun stroke, sun burn. Flax oil, butter and fatty fish oil. Also in sunflower oil. Cholesterol MYTH: It s not the cholesterol that is the problem; it s the vitamin C deficiency that causes a collagen breakdown in the capillaries causing micro bleeding. The cholesterol comes in AFTER as a band-aid. But calcium also comes in making the arteries stiff increasing High Blood Pressure FACTS: your body makes 2000mg of cholesterol daily (1 dozen eggs) FACTS: Cholesterol is needed to make stress hormones FACTS: Good cholesterol is only the cholesterol coming out of the liver and bad cholesterol is cholesterol going into the liver. As long as the good cholesterol is high then you have exchange and you re okay. FACT: the real deeper reason why cholesterol is high is the sugar carbs in the diet. FACT: if your cholesterol is high, you only have a.1% chance of getting a heart attack; not 100% rate only risk (no legal definition) FACT: Normal cholesterol total used to be 225, by lowering it millions of people were put on meds. FACTS: WHO 192 countries: Women who have cholesterol <177 had a 98% higher death rate than women who had 212. Men who have cholesterol <177 had a 27% higher death rate than 212 David Evans 500 Peer-review papers showing very negative side-effects of statins Avoid sugar and hidden carbs Consume cholesterol in food (eggs), which will only increase good cholesterol anyway. It s high in lecithin, which is the antidote to cholesterol.

6 Nutrient Function Significance Where you get it Vitamin B4 B4 supports the nerve conduction and if deficient causes fibrillation. It, also, prevents dilation or enlargement. If the heart gets bigger, the valves leak causing regurgitation murmurs. B4 is naturally in whole grains, yet bleached flour products will deplete vitamin B4. You must avoid refined grains to keep your B4 Is present in many foods and is not hard to get if you re consuming vegetables, eggs, etc. Nutritional Yeast has B4, but make sure you get the unfortified nutritional yeast. B4 is also in our Adrenal Day Formula Vitamin C Helps oxygen carrying capacity and prevents capillary bleeding Vitamin C deficiency creates micro (small) hemorrhage in the layers of the arteries. This creates an immune healing reaction with the body s natural band-aid cholesterol and calcium. Vitamin C comes in a complex and ascorbic acid is only one part. Taking large doses of ascorbic acid will create a deficiency of vitamin C complex. Is present in many foods and is not hard to get if you re consuming vegetables, eggs, etc. Nutritional Yeast has B4, but make sure you get the unfortified nutritional yeast. B4 is also in our Adrenal Day Formula Synthetic Vitamins Natural is absorbed better, in one study it showed that it takes 3x more synthetic to achieve the results than natural. Natural vitamins come in whole complexes and are made from at least 8 parts, synthetics are only one and in very high amounts. In nature vitamins always come in complexes. Companies make mostly synthetic. Why? Cost 1 kg of synthetic biotin cost $9; if it s natural the version cost $800 per kg. Vitamin molecules come in right and left hand structure.
