The American Heart Association recommends the following goals for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system:
* Total Cholesterol less than 200
* LDL ("Bad") Cholesterol less than 160 for people who are at low risk for heart disease
* LDL ("Bad") Cholesterol less than 130 for people who are at intermediate risk for heart disease
* LDL ("Bad") Cholesterol less than 100 for people who are at high risk for heart disease
* LDL ("Bad") Cholesterol less than 70 for people who are at very high risk for heart disease
* HDL ("Good") Cholesterol 50 or higher for women
* HDL ("Good") Cholesterol 40 or higher for men
* Triglycerides less than 150
* Blood Pressure less than 120 / 80
* Fasting Glucose less than 100
* Body Mass Index (BMI) less than 25
* Waist Circumference less than 35 inches for women
* Waist Circumference less than 40 inches for men
* Exercise minimum of 30 minutes most days, if not all days of the week
* Eat at least 5 daily servings of fruit and vegetables, 6 daily servings of grain products, 2 weekly servings of oily fish, 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day, less than 300 mg of cholesterol per day
* Limit intake of saturated fat and trans fat to less than 10 percent of total calories
* Choose fats and oils with 2 grams or less saturated fat per tablespoon
* Limit salt intake to less than 6 grams per day (slightly less than one teaspoon)
* Limit alcohol consumption to no more than one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men
* Balance the number of calories you eat with the number you use each day
* Eliminate all tobacco products and exposure to secondhand smoke
Are you meeting these goals? Most men and women are not. Widespread inability to meet these goals is demonstrated by the following statistics for 2003 in the United States:
* Americans with one or more forms of cardiovascular disease: 71,300,000
* High Blood Pressure: 65,000,000
* Coronary Heart Disease: 13,200,000 (leading cause of death in America)
* Stroke: 5,500,000
* Total Deaths: 910,614
* Deaths of those under age of 65: 152,000
Basically today's hectic lifestyles involve surviving under stressful conditions for extended periods of time while subsisting on dangerous fast food diets and lack of proper exercise and rest. This has become a recipe for cardiovascular disaster. Ayurveda Medicine provides a way for you to reverse the damage to your body and puts you on the road to good health.
Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to cardiovascular problems. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects. Natural pills provide fleeting, inconsistent results.
Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available. Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.
India Herbs has a seasoned group of Ayurvedic doctors specialized in Kaya Chikitsa, one of the eight major specialties of Ayurveda that deals with Internal Medicine. It is the branch of Ayurveda that offers therapies for purification and detoxification. Kaya Chikitsa dwells deep into defining the root cause of a disease and prescribes the therapeutic use of various herbal medicines and holistic treatments for enhancing the cardiovascular capabilities while strengthening the body and overall well-being.
India Herbs' Kaya Chikitsa doctors combine a proprietary herbal formula based on centuries' old wisdom with advice on diet, exercise, mental training, and relaxation to help individuals attain their peak cardiovascular health and overcome health concerns through safe, natural means.

Experience Total Body Cleansing and Rejuvenation
You are a toxic cesspool of the lifetime accumulation of chemicals from air, food, and water. These accumulated toxins contribute to nearly every disease, sickness, and malfunction of the body.
Your body is like a city where the sanitation units are on strike. As the garbage bags pile up, the city slows down and if the situation were to continue to crisis proportions, unsanitary conditions would cause widespread illness, disease, and death amongst the population. The sanitation officers in our body that find and eliminate toxins comprise our excretory system (kidneys, intestines, lungs, skin, and liver). When they are severely overworked, they go on strike. When this occurs, waste and toxins buildup in your body, channeling of nutrients becomes inefficient, the situation compounds itself, and various disease states become inevitable.
The largest internal organ in the body is the liver. It performs many functions in addition to body detoxification. The liver works by both filtering toxins directly and by altering toxins so that they can be removed at other stages of detoxification. The liver filters toxins from about 1 liter of blood every minute. Some of these toxins are endotoxins (produced in the body) and exotoxins (from outside the body). These wastes are eliminated the kidneys or the colon. Other toxins, composed of compounds that are difficult for the liver to filter, must be broken down with enzymes so that they can be removed. A properly functioning liver is vital to your health.
Serious toxin overload can easily occur. Toxins released from the liver must leave the body through the colon. If a person is constipated, the toxins are not eliminated and are instead reabsorbed back into the liver. This occurs while new exotoxins are continually introduced into the body through medication, pesticides, cigarette smoke, pollution, impurities in food, bacteria, and other problematic substances in the environment; and new endotoxins are created in the body due to stress and lack of exercise. The road to disease is soon paved with an improperly functioning liver, gummed up excretory system, and a slew of toxins that bind to enzymes at the cellular level and neutralize them, so that cells no longer function optimally.

ACTION OF ALCOHOL ON INTERNAL ORGANS
Action on the stomach.
The action of alcohol on the stomach is extremely dangerous that it becomes unable to produce the natural digestive fluid in sufficient quantity and also fails to absorb the food which it may imperfectly digest. A condition marked by the sense of nausea emptiness, prostration and distention will always be faced by an alcoholic. This results in a loathing for food and is teased with a craving for more drink. Thus there is engendered a permanent disorder which is called dyspepsia. The disastrous forms of confirmed indigestion originate by this practice.
How the liver gets affected.
The organic deteriorations caused by the continued use of alcohol are often of a fatal character. The organ which most frequently undergoes structural changes from alcohol, is the liver. Normally, the liver has the capacity to hold active substances in its cellular parts. In instances of poisoning by various poisonous compounds, we analyse liver as if it were the central depot of the foreign matter. It is practically the same in respect to alcohol. The liver of an alcoholic is never free from the influence of alcohol and it is too often saturated with it. The minute membranous or capsular structure of the liver gets affected, preventing proper dialysis and free secretion. The liver becomes large due to the dilatation of its vessels, the surcharge of fluid matter and the thickening of tissue. This follows contraction of membrane and shrinking of the whole organ in its cellular parts. Then the lower parts of the alcoholic becomes dropsical owing to the obstruction offered to the returning blood by the veins. The structure of the liver may be charged with fatty cells and undergo what is technically designated 'fatty liver'.
How the Kidneys deteriorate.
The Kidneys also suffer due to the excessive consumption of alcohol. The vessels of Kidneys lose elasticity and power of contraction. The minute structures in them go through fatty modification. Albumin from the blood easily passes through their membranes. This results in the body losing its power as if it were being run out of blood gradually.
Congestion of the lungs.
Alcohol relaxes the vessels of the lungs easily as they are most exposed to the fluctuations of heat and cold. When subjected to the effects of a rapid variation in atmospheric temperature, they get readily congested. During severe winter seasons, the suddenly fatal congestions of lungs easily affects an alcoholic.
Alcohol weakens the heart.
Consumption of alcohol greatly affects the heart. The quality of the membraneous structures which cover and line the heart changes and are thickened, become cartilaginous or calcareous. Then the valves lose their suppleness and what is termed valvular disorder becomes permanent. The structure of the the coats of the great blood-vessel leading from the heart share in the same changes of structure so that the vessel loses its elasticity and its power to feed the heart by the recoil from
its distention, after the heart, by its stroke, has filled it with blood.
Again, the muscular structure of the heart fails owing to degenerative changes in its tissue. The elements of the muscular fibre are replaced by fatty cells or, if not so replaced, are themselves transferred into a modified muscular texture in which the power of contraction is greatly reduced.
Those who suffer from these organic deteriorations of the central and governing organ of the circulation of the blood learn the fact so insidiously, it hardly breaks upon them until the mischief is far advanced. They are conscious of a central failure of power from slight causes such as overexertion, trouble, broken rest or too long abstinence from food. They feel what they call a 'sinking' but they know that wine or some other stimulant will at once relieve the sensation. Thus they seek to relieve it until at last they discover that the remedy fails. The jaded, overworked, faithful heart will bear no more. it has run its course and the governor of the blood-streams broken. The current either overflows into the tissues gradually damming up the courses or under some slight shock or excess of motion ceases wholly at the centre.

Want to Enjoy Optimal Prostate Health?
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system. Its main function is to store and secrete a clear fluid that constitutes up to one-third of the volume of semen. A healthy human prostate is slightly larger than a walnut. It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder and can be felt during a rectal exam. The male urethra has two functions: to carry urine from the bladder during urination and to carry semen during ejaculation. The prostate also contains some smooth muscle that helps to expel semen during ejaculation. In order to function effectively, the prostate needs androgen - male hormones which are responsible for male sex characteristics. The main male hormone is testosterone, which is produced mainly by the testicles. Some male hormones are produced in small amounts by the adrenal glands.
1. The Peripheral Zone (PZ) - The sub-capsular portion of the posterior aspect of the prostate gland which surrounds the distal urethra and comprises up to 70% of the normal prostate gland in young men. It is from this portion of the gland that more than 70% of prostatic cancers originate.
2. The Central Zone (CZ) - This zone constitutes approximately 25% of the normal prostate gland and surrounds the ejaculatory ducts. Central zone tumors account for more than 25% of all prostate cancers.
3. The Transition Zone (TZ) - This zone is responsible for 5% of the prostate volume and very rarely is associated with carcinoma. The transition zone surrounds the proximal urethra and is the region of the prostate gland which grows throughout. It is involved in benign prostatic enlargement.
4. The Anterior Fibro-muscular zone - This zone accounts for approximately 5% of the prostatic weight, is usually devoid of glandular components, and composed only, as its name suggests, of muscle and fibrous tissue.
The prostate gland is a source of many health problems in men, the most common being benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. Older men often have corpora amylacea which are dense accumulations of calcified proteinaceous material, in the ducts of their prostates. The corpora amylacea may obstruct the lumens of the prostatic ducts. As men age, the prostate gland slowly grows enlarges. As the prostate gets bigger, it may press on the urethra and cause the flow of urine to be slower and less forceful. The American Urological Association assesses that by age 60, more than half of American men will have BPH. By age 85, about 90 percent of men have BPH, but only 30 percent of men will be bothered by their symptoms.
The prostate produces powerful immunosuppressive compounds that enhance fertilization when a female is inseminated but those same proteins, polyamines and prostaglandins, can instigate prostate cancer by preventing an effective intraprostatic immune response. The American Cancer Society (ACS) estimates that by the end of 2006 about 234,460 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States. About 1 in every 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men. The American Cancer Society estimates that 27,350 men in the United States will die of prostate cancer in 2006. Prostate cancer accounts for about 10% of cancer-related deaths in men. 91% of all prostate cancers are found in the local (confined to the prostate) and regional stages (spread from the prostate to nearby areas).
Western medicine relies on aggressive prescription drugs and surgery to deal with many problems related to prostate and reproductive irregularities in the male body. Unfortunately, these methods often result in unwanted and even dangerous side effects. And natural pills provide fleeting, inconsistent results.
Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention, and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available. Its fundamentals can be found in Hindu scriptures called the Vedas - the ancient Indian books of wisdom written over 5,000 years ago. Ayurveda uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual's body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.
