<h1 style="text-align: left;" align="CENTER"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>Endothelial Health Webinar</strong></span></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">According to ABC News, 45% of the American adult population is at significant risk for heart and cardiovascular disease.  This is at an all time high and it centers on three major areas:  </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><strong>High Blood Pressure, Cholesterol Concerns, and Diabetes </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Staggering numbers that also offer great hope when you understand that there is one common factor to all of these diseases.  That common factor is your cardiovascular system.  While most people concentrate on your heart as the central focus of cardiovascular health, I&#8217;m here to tell you that there is another organ that is equally important, and some believe even more important, than your heart.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong> The Importance of Endothelial Health!</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, most people have never heard of this organ.  Yet the </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><strong>1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine </strong></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">was awarded to three American researchers who discovered how this organ produces a gas that actually regulates your entire cardiovascular system.  The organ is called the Endothelium and the gas is Nitric Oxide – the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system.  </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><strong>This health information webinar will teach you how to effectively nourish your endothelium for proper nitric oxide production, which has the potential to significantly improve cardiovascular health.  </strong></span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"> Endothelial Health Is Key To Good Health!</h3>
<p>You must learn how to properly nourish your endothelium &#8211; the largest secreting organ in your entire body &#8211; if you want to improve your cardiovascular health and overall wellness.  Watch the above YouTube video to learn how and why!  Over the next couple of days I&#8217;ll be posting additional webinars showing you specifically how endothelial health affects high blood pressure, cholesterol concerns, and diabetes.  Even cognitive function is effected by endothelial health.</p>

Just recently <a href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/dr-oz-on-l-arginine-2/"><span style="color: #000080;"><strong>Dr. Oz</strong></span></a> has been talking about L-Arginine supplements for cardiovascular health. Because of this there is a growing interest in the general public about L-Arginine supplements. Unfortunately, not all of the correct information is being given to help consumers figure out how to choose the best L-Arginine Supplements to help them with their cardiovascular health. </span> </p>
<h1><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">This Video Provides Guidelines on How to Compare L-Arginine Supplements!</span></span> </h1>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There are five key areas to consider when you&#8217;re choosing L-Arginine Supplements. They are: Ingredients, Price, Quality Assurance, Clinical Studies, and Guarantee. This video covers all five areas and will be a definitive guide for helping you choose the best in L-Arginine Supplements.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="390" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/B9b0eMbXkdY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/B9b0eMbXkdY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<h2><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Properly Formulated L-Arginine Supplements Create Nitric Oxide!</span></span> </h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The main reason for taking L-Arginine Supplements is to effectively create nitric oxide – the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system. As you learned in the video above your endothelium, which lines all of your cardiovascular system, is a multi-functioning organ. It&#8217;s involved in metabolic, immunologic, and cardiovascular functions. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>One of its primary functions is to properly produce nitric oxide.</strong></span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Specific to your cardiovascular system, nitric oxide is critically important for the proper regulation of blood pressure, helps to prevent strokes and heart attacks by keeping blood platelet cells from sticking together, and helps to repair the endothelium to keep it healthy and free from plaque formations and calcification. For men, nitric oxide is needed for an erection. No nitric oxide no sex!</span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As this </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Nobel Prize winning information</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> is finally reaching the general public there has been an ever increasing interest in L-Arginine supplements. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But not all L-Arginine supplements are equally effective in creating nitric oxide.</span> </p>
<h3><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Key Questions to Ask in Choosing L-Arginine Supplements!</span></span> </h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you want to improve the health of your endothelium and nourish it properly for improved nitric oxide production, then choosing your L-Arginine supplements is critical to helping you achieve positive results. Here are six key questions to ask in making your choice on L-Arginine supplements:</span> </p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Does it include L-citrulline?</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> If it doesn&#8217;t, then you&#8217;re wasting your time and money.</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Does it include sufficient amounts of both L-arginine and L-citrulline to create a synergistic and therapeutic benefit?</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> According to Dr. Ignarro you need 4-6 grams of L-arginine and 200 to 1000 mg of L-citrulline to have a therapeutic effect. Anything less and you&#8217;re not going to get improved nitric oxide production.</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>What are the quality-control standards set by the manufacture?</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> This is important to guarantee consistency and potency in the manufactured product.</span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Who is the product formulator and do they have experience in L-Arginine / L-Citrulline therapy?</strong></span></span> </li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Does the L-Arginine Supplement have any clinical studies to back up its effectiveness?</strong></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Does the L-Arginine Supplement offer a 100% Money Back Satisfaction Guarantee?</strong></span></span> </li>
</ol>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I hope this information on L-Arginine supplements will help you cut through the wild claims made by product manufacturers, because this area of natural health can help you improve your cardiovascular health. </span></span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is important to note that </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Nobel Prize winning science has clearly shown nitric oxide to be the body&#8217;s natural cardiovascular wonder drug.</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Now it&#8217;s important to choose the L-Arginine supplements that will help you achieve the highest therapeutic benefit for your cardiovascular system. </span></span> </p>

He used to run one of the largest health club operations in the Chicagoland area and has been helping people with their wellness issues for more than 25 years. </strong></span> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><a href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bigstock_Human_Brain_1912512.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2290" title="Human Brain" src="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/bigstock_Human_Brain_1912512-300x225.jpg" alt="Alzheimer's and Cardiovascular Disease" width="300" height="225" /></a>As we&#8217;ve seen from the previous post, there is a natural connection between Alzheimer&#8217;s and cardiovascular disease. In your skull is a 3 pound wonder that has 100 billion neurons sending each other electrical and chemical signals in an orchestrated pattern that creates memories and allows for learning.</span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Each nerve cell communicates with many other neurons to form networks. These networks of neurons have special jobs. Some help us to see, hear, and breathe. Other networks are involved in thinking, learning, and remembering. To keep everything running requires large amounts of nutrients and oxygen.<br />
</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It&#8217;s your cardiovascular system that will deliver the needed resources for brain function. If your circulation is compromised then you will compromise brain function. Maybe you&#8217;ve experienced first hand the emotional and financial costs of being a caregiver to a loved one who has Alzheimer&#8217;s or any other form of dementia. Although there are no current cures for Alzheimer&#8217;s, there are steps you can take to prevent this dreaded disease. </span> </p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">How to Prevent Alzheimer&#8217;s and Cardiovascular Disease Naturally! </h1>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In our previous post we examined how folic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, and beta carotene can significantly reduce your risks. </span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>In this video we&#8217;re going to look at Iron and the Mediterranean diet as part of the mix.</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"> Our goal is to give you a game plan for the prevention of Alzheimer&#8217;s and cardiovascular disease since they are strongly related.</span></span> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We&#8217;re also going to examine how cholesterol, diabetes, and aerobic exercise play a role in your cognitive health. After these videos were produced, we received the </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Health</strong></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>&amp;</strong></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Nutrition</strong></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> </strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Letter</strong></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong> Volume 10G from Tufts University</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;">. Their lead article was </span><span style="font-size: small;"><em><strong>“Eat Like a Mediterranean to Protect Your Aging Brain.”</strong></em></span><span style="font-size: small;"> The following two quotes will reinforce the information you are about to learn in this next video:</span></span> </p>
<blockquote><p>“<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In an updated analysis of that earlier study of 1,880 older New Yorkers, </span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>those who most closely followed a Mediterranean-style diet were at 40% lower risk of Alzheimer&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"> over 5.4 years than those with lowest adherence.”</span></span> </p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>“<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The new analysis also looked at physical activity, finding that </span><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>participants with the highest level of activity were at 33% lower risk of Alzheimer&#8217;s</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"> than the least-active subjects. . . that the association of physical activity with Alzheimer&#8217;s disease risk was independent to that of the diet.”</span></span> </p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>This video will also introduce you to an organ in your cardiovascular system </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>that makes all the difference in the prevention of Alzheimer&#8217;s </strong></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>and cardiovascular disease</strong></span><span style="font-size: small;"> since they are strongly related: </span></span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In this final video <strong>we&#8217;re going to put all the pieces together into a concise plan of action.</strong> You&#8217;re going to learn how:</span> </p>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>You need to repair and nourish your endothelial cells to improve </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>their ability to properly produce nitric oxide – the master signaling molecule </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>of your entire cardiovascular system!</strong></span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>The amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline need to be part of your daily diet!</strong></span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Green vegetables are key to improved brain health!</strong></span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>You need to consume at least 400 micrograms of folic acid on a daily basis.</strong></span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Omega-3 fatty acids make such a difference!</strong></span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>A yearly physical can help you pay attention to your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and iron levels!</strong></span></li>
<li style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Exercise can improve brain function!</strong></span> </li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1621" title="Dr. Prendergast" src="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/Dr.-Prendergast-229x300.jpg" alt="Complications of Diabetes" width="229" height="300" />As we learned in the previous article Complications of Diabetes – Part 1 there is a one-celled thick organ called the Endothelium that is constantly being damaged by high blood sugar levels. This damage to the endothelial cells reduces their ability to proper produce Nitric Oxide the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast has pioneered a natural approach to repairing and nourishing your endothelium so that your endothelial cells can regain their ability to produce nitric oxide.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This article will continue our video series to help you understand how you can take a proactive approach to reducing the complications of diabetes. </span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Nitric Oxide Can Dramatically Reduce The Complications of Diabetes!</span></span></h1>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">If you want to improve your circulation, improve your kidney function, decrease your risk for cardiovascular disease, help bring your blood pressure back into a normal range, and lessen the potential for strokes and heart attacks, then you need to understand the importance of nitric oxide. Simply stated you could not live without nitric oxide. It is critical for proper cardiovascular function.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In his </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>2005 National Bestseller entitled NO More Heart Disease, Nobel Laureate Dr. Louis J. Ignarro</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> made the following statement: </span></p>
<blockquote><p>“<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>NO – as it is know by chemists – is produced by the body specifically to help keep arteries and veins free of the plaque that causes stroke and to maintain normal blood pressure by relaxing the arteries, thereby regulating the rate of blood flow and preventing coronaries. Nitric oxide is the body&#8217;s natural cardiovascular wonder drug.”</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This video will help you understand how nitric oxide can directly address many of the complications of diabetes:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/WiNzN41C6SI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/WiNzN41C6SI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Addressing The Hidden Enemy That Can Compound the Complications of Diabetes!</span></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There is a hidden enemy that can compound the complications of diabetes. This hidden enemy is seldom addressed but affects everyone – especially the African American community. This hidden enemy is an enzyme called arginase.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Arginase is used by your liver to help detoxify you. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Unfortunately, arginase also destroys L-arginine.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> As you learned in a previous video, L-arginine is the primary amino acid used by your endothelial cells to create nitric oxide. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>This means that the enzyme arginase can reduce nitric oxide production by destroying L-arginine before it can be converted to nitric oxide.</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Our next video will help you understand that your endothelial cells have an alternative pathway for the creation of nitric oxide. This alternative pathway centers on having an adequate supply of the other amino acid L-citrulline:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/coWid8PcTCI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/coWid8PcTCI?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">A Clinically Proven Natural Product and Alternative for Reducing the Complications of Diabetes!</span></span></h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Controlling blood sugar levels is vitally important for a diabetic. This has been the standard approach for most people with diabetes. However, this approach doesn&#8217;t address the damage caused by blood sugar to the endothelium. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast has pioneered a second approach to addressing the complications of diabetes.</strong></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This second approach centers on the repair and proper nourishment of your endothelial cells. This approach allows them to heal and properly produce nitric oxide – the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system. Dr. Prendergast has been using this approach since 1991. He has combined </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>Nobel Prize winning science with cutting edge vascular research out of Stanford School of Medicine&#8217;s Cardiovascular Research Center</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> to develop a clinical application that has benefited thousands of his patients and tens of thousands of people around the world.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This final video highlights this natural approach. How Dr. Prendergast has combined L-arginine with L-citrulline and other heart healthy vitamins and nutrients resulting in </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>no strokes, no heart attacks, and less than 1% hospital admissions for cardiovascular issues</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> in over 7000 of his patients:</span></span></p>

<p></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">These series of videos will help you understand that it doesn&#8217;t have to be this way! Listen to this first video as I set the stage on helping you control the complications of diabetes.</span></p>

<h1 style="text-align: center;">The Complications of Diabetes Can be Dramatically Improved When You Understand This Approach!</h1>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It&#8217;s estimated that 23.5 million American adults have either Type I or Type II diabetes. High blood sugar causes damage to your cardiovascular system resulting in the complications of diabetes. These complications include poor circulation, poor kidney function, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, and the increased potential for strokes and heart attacks. All are life threatening.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>It doesn&#8217;t have to be this way and this video will help you begin to understand a natural approach pioneered by Dr. J. Joseph Prendergast.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This approach has resulted in no strokes, no heart attacks, and less than 1% hospital admissions for cardiovascular issues in over 7,000 patients. What&#8217;s even more amazing is that 80% of these patients are diabetics. This video will introduce you to this approach:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4cvfolfEpHM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4cvfolfEpHM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x3a3a3a&amp;color2=0x999999" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always"></embed></object></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">To Reduce the Complications of Diabetes You Must Pay Attention to This Organ! </h2>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Most people think that you must concentrate on your heart if you want to reduce the complications of diabetes. While your heart is critically important to your health, it&#8217;s not the key organ. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>The key organ that you must properly nourish and repair is your endothelium.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Most people have never heart of the endothelium yet this organ ultimately controls all of your cardiovascular system. It&#8217;s so important that the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>1998 Nobel Prize in Medicine</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> was award to three American researchers who discovered how this one-celled thick organ produces the master signaling molecule of your entire cardiovascular system. This video will help you better understand this critical organ:</span></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Two Amino Acids are Key to Reducing the Complications of Diabetes! </h3>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before we can discuss nitric oxide we need to look at the two natural amino acids that your body needs on a daily basis. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>These two amino acids are L-arginine and L-citrulline.</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> One is fairly common and one is not. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">When properly repaired and nourished, your endothelial cells will convert these two amino acids into nitric oxide to help prevent the complications of diabetes. It&#8217;s important to note that by combining these two amino acids together you create a synergistic effect. This video will help you understand this process and which foods are good sources for these daily nutrients:</span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: left; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>In Part 1 of Strength Training</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> we discovered how little attention is paid to the health of your endothelial cells and their importance to athletic performance. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>In Part 2 we learned how</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> the endothelial cells create capillary beds to improve circulation. We also learned that your endothelial cells create nitric oxide which is critical to blood flow. In this concluding part we are going to put it all together so that you can completely understand how this impacts your training, performance, and recovery in strength training. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We&#8217;re also going to look at the two critical amino acids needed by your endothelial cells. One you&#8217;ve most likely heard of but the other one is seldom talked about or used, yet it can make a significant difference in all phases of human performance.</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="background: #ffffff;">Training for Muscular Strength and Endurance!</span></strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">There are many different training programs designed to help you build strength, stamina, speed, endurance, and power specific to your strength training goals. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Foundational to every strength training program is your ability to fuel muscle tissues with the oxygen and nutrients they need to sustain your efforts.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> It also becomes the limiting factor in your athletic performance because of the difference between anaerobic and aerobic energy production and the waste products they produce.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In the simplest of terms, 1 unit of glucose will produce 2 units of energy during anaerobic respiration and the resulting waste product is lactic acid. In aerobic respiration 1 unit of glucose will produce 36 units of energy and the resulting waste products are carbon dioxide and water. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><a title="Aerobic Respiration" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/energy-production-and-cardiovascular-health/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">Aerobic respiration produces 18 times more energy</span></a> and its waste products do not negatively affect muscle contraction like lactic acid does. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Yet, the waste product of carbon dioxide enhances the lungs ability to saturate the hemoglobin molecules of the red blood cells with oxygen. </span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>With enhanced circulation, that comes from properly repairing and fueling your endothelial cells to optimize their production of nitric oxide, you are able to keep this ideal metabolic exchange for a longer period of time. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">By properly nourishing your endothelial cells you will help them increase capillary beds to the working muscles, tissues, and organs involved in your strength training program. This will increase their ability to produce nitric oxide, the master signaling molecule of your cardiovascular system. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>These two factors will improve blood flow and deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> This will allow them to work at a higher aerobic capacity for a longer period of time. This will allow you to work at a higher intensity with less lactic acid formation for quicker recoveries so that subsequent strength training sets can be performed at a higher intensity with less lactic acid buildup. This improves your anaerobic threshold, which is the limiting factor for most people. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Improved blood flow results in improved performance of the working muscles, faster recovery, and better muscle development to maximize your strength training program. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This applies to both general fitness and specific muscular development for your particular sport.</span></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><span style="background: #ffffff;">Performance in Strength Training!</span></strong></span></span></h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">While there are many factors that can affect your performance, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>most athletic ability is a product of your training and the ability to properly fuel your body to meet the demands of your event.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Just like in training, properly nourishing your endothelial cells to improve their ability to properly produce nitric oxide can make a significant difference in your athletic performance. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Critical to your performance will be your body&#8217;s ability to deliver needed oxygen and nutrients to meet the intensity of your event, and to sustain that intensity for as long as needed.</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>By optimizing the health of your endothelial cells you will help improve circulation.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Improved circulation improves the delivery of needed oxygen and nutrients while carrying away the waste products that can be a limiting factor in performance.</span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Again, you have significantly improved your anaerobic threshold, which is usually the limiting factor for most people in strength training and affects everyone&#8217;s performance.</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="background: #ffffff;">Recovery in Strength Training!</span></strong></span></span></h3>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Just as the endothelial cells, and their ability to properly produce nitric oxide, improve both training and performance, they will also have a positive effect on recovery. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Recovery is a combination of waste product removal and reloading the muscle tissues with the nutrients they need for repair and energy production.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Again, this is a function of improved circulation. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>When your endothelial cells properly produce nitric oxide for improved circulation, you work at a higher anaerobic threshold, which means less lactic acid production.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> With improved circulation it&#8217;s easier to remove this limiting waste product to speed recovery. Improved circulation also delivers the needed nutrients to reload the muscle tissue and facilitate any tissue repair. All of this means quicker recovery from both your strength training and performance activities.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><strong><span style="background: #ffffff;">Two Critical Amino Acids for Strength Training!</span></strong></span></span></h4>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">There are two amino acids that are critical to properly nourishing and repairing your endothelial cells to optimize their ability to produce nitric oxide. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>They are L-arginine and L-citrulline.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Many have heard of L-arginine since there is a wealth of information and products in the marketplace. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Few have heard of L-citrulline yet it is just as important to the health of your endothelial cells as L-arginine.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>The essential amino acid L-arginine </strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">is found in foods like eggs, tuna, chicken, peanuts, and beans. However, when isolated and properly brought into the body, L-arginine has the ability to produce some remarkable results. Specific to strength training, research shows the following benefits:</span></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Precursor for the synthesis of nitric oxide.</strong></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Stimulates growth hormone, which is essential for large muscle mass, multi joint exercises, as well as high power exercises.</strong></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Improves blood circulation and aids in blood pressure regulation.</strong></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Improves insulin sensitivity to help normalize blood sugar and replenish post workout glycogen stores.</strong></span></p>
</li>
<li>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Supports protein synthesis.</strong></span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Your endothelial cells use L-arginine to create nitric oxide. Most research indicates that for you to receive a therapeutic effect you need to consume at least 5 grams of pharmaceutical grade L-arginine. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>This means both the quantity and quality of L-arginine used is extremely important.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>The amino acid L-citrulline</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> is very hard to obtain from food alone so supplementation is the best option. Most vascular researchers will tell you that L-citrulline is equally important, maybe even more important, than L-arginine because it significantly extends the ability of the endothelial cells to properly produce nitric oxide. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Typically, a therapeutic level of L-arginine creates a 30 minute to 2 hour window of improved nitric oxide production. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>By including the proper amount of L-citrulline you can extend this improved nitric oxide production to 24 to 36 hours.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> This extended window of improved nitric oxide production allows for significant health benefits. This helps to repair the endothelial cells so that they can work optimally. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>This provides improved blood flow so that muscles, tissues, and organs that have been used during all phases of strength training can recover quicker for better results.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Additionally, L-citrulline can bypass the destructive nature of the enzyme arginase that everyone carries in their blood stream. Arginase destroys L-arginine, which can limit nitric oxide production. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>L-citrulline provides an alternative pathway for the endothelial cells</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> to convert L-citrulline to L-arginine for improved nitric oxide production. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>This is especially important for African Americans</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> since they have a genetic predisposition for carrying higher levels of arginase in their bloodstream.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Unfortunately, most L-arginine products sold as nitric oxide enhancers do not include this critical amino acid L-citrulline.</span></p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><span style="background: #ffffff;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-36" title="ProArgi-9 Plus" src="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/zstore_new_proargi9.png" alt="ProArgi-9 Plus" width="138" height="172" /><span style="color: #000080;">ProArgi-9 Plus</span> for Strength Training!</span></strong></span></span></h5>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank">ProArgi-9 Plus</a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> is a clinically proven, natural, nutritional supplement that is uniquely designed to repair the endothelial cells that line all of your cardiovascular system to improve their ability to create nitric oxide. This product was originally designed for clinical use for those with cardiovascular health issues. It has both long term and short term clinical results. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Results that have clearly demonstrated </strong></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank">ProArgi-9 Plus</a>&#8216;</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong> ability to remarkably improve the health of the endothelial cells and enhance their ability to create nitric oxide.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> This has resulted in dramatically improving circulation and eliminating or substantially reducing cardiovascular challenges. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">As this product has been applied to strength training it has produced remarkable improvements for athletes. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Improved training, improved performance, and improved recovery have all been noted by those who have made </strong></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank">ProArgi-9 Plus</a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong> a part of their nutritional program.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> Most athletes will take 1 ½ to 2 scoops of </span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank">ProArgi-9 Plus</a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"> approximately 30 minutes prior to their workout or performance. By the time they have completed their warm up it&#8217;s in their system to help provide their endothelial cells with the necessary ingredients for improved nitric oxide production. It then significantly enhances their ability to work at higher intensity levels with less lactic acid formation for quicker recoveries. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong>Because </strong></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank">ProArgi-9 Plus</a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><strong> includes L-citrulline it helps to enhance the body&#8217;s ability to repair so that recovery is quicker. </strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This overall improvement in training, performance, and recovery has helped those who strength train see significant gains in the gym and during their athletic performance. This Nobel Prize winning information in the area of </span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">anatomy, biochemistry, and nutrition has produced documented clinical results for improved cardiovascular health. </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>This same information can also be applied to strength training to enhance all phases of your athletic performance.</strong></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1887" title="Krebs Cycle" src="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Krebs-Cycle-239x300.jpg" alt="Energy" width="239" height="300" />I was going through some storage bins over the weekend and came across this crazy drawing of energy production you see on the left. It&#8217;s from my biochemistry class in college, and it has a direct application to cardiovascular health. In fact, once you understand it you will realize how important good circulation is to your health and your ability to produce energy.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It looks pretty confusing but let me help you understand it by asking you a very simple question:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>If You Had a Stock Option That Paid You a Return of 2% or 36% Which Would You Choose?</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Every person I&#8217;ve ever asked this question to always chooses 36%. Why? Because it returns a higher yield. Well, this is the difference in energy production between anaerobic respiration and aerobic respiration.</span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Anaerobic Respiration – Energy Production Without Oxygen!</strong></span></span></h1>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The top half of this drawing represents the energy production achieved by anaerobic respiration. As your blood filters through the liver, glucose (blood sugar) is added to your blood stream. This is carried to your cells to be converted into energy. When your cell lacks oxygen it uses a chemical process called anaerobic respiration to convert the glucose into energy. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>It&#8217;s extremely inefficient and the net result is just 2 units of energy.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Plus it produces a byproduct called pyruvic acid. If oxygen is not present then the cell converts this pyruvic acid to lactic acid. This allows the cell to continue to produce a small quantity of energy. However, lactic acid is an irritant. It causes that burning sensation you feel when you&#8217;ve overused a muscle and it interferes with proper cell function.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>The net result of anaerobic respiration is poor energy production and a large amount of waste material that disrupts the proper function of the cells, tissues, and organs.</strong></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Aerobic Respiration – Energy Production With Oxygen!</strong></span></span></h2>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">When oxygen is present the pyruvic acid will enter the mitochondria of your cells to be used in the Kreb&#8217;s cycle. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>(If you think this drawing is confusing and crazy you should see the drawing for the Kreb&#8217;s cycle.)</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Think of your mitochondria as an energy producing factory.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>This process will take that one unit of glucose and convert it into 36 units of energy.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This is 18 times more productive than anaerobic respiration. Plus, the waste products are carbon dioxide and water. You breath out carbon dioxide and you eliminate any excess water. Neither of these two waste products damage your cells, tissues, and organs. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">While aerobic respiration can cause oxidative stress to cells,</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong> the net result is large energy production with waste material that is not disruptive to the proper functioning of your cells, tissues, and organs.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Government versus Private Sector</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Some have even compared this process of energy production to the difference between government run programs and private sector programs. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Anaerobic respiration,</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> like the government, is very inefficient and produces only a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>small return on investment; 1 unit of glucose yields 2 units of energy with bureaucratic red tape that can clog and slow down the system.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Aerobic respiration,</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> like the private sector, is very efficient and produces a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>large return on investment; 1 unit of glucose yields 36 units of energy</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> with an assembly line that is highly productive but also needs proper maintenance to continue its accelerated production. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>What Does All This Have To Do With Cardiovascular Health?</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your red blood cells carry oxygen to your tissues and cells. If your cardiovascular system is damaged by<span style="color: #ff0000;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"> </span><a title="Cholesterol" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/cholesterol/" target="_self"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">cholesterol</span></strong></a></span>, excess sugar that causes oxidative stress, plaque formations, and other contributing factors, then you begin to limit blood flow. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>This damage limits the delivery of oxygen and causes your cells to depend more on anaerobic respiration for their energy needs.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Because anaerobic respiration can&#8217;t keep up with the needs of the cells, the cells have to slow down. They become less efficient and sluggish in their job. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Compound this with the waste products produced from anaerobic respiration and you have a cycle that leads to poor organ health and poor overall wellness.</strong></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>The Key to Reversing This Cycle!</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The key to reversing this degenerating cycle</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong> is to improve blood circulation by repairing the damage caused to the </strong></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">endothelial cells</span></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> that line all of your cardiovascular system. As you improve the health of your <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a title="Endothelial Cells" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/endothelial-cells/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">endothelial cells</span></a></strong></span> they are able to properly produce nitric oxide. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Nitric oxide is the master signaling molecule of the cardiovascular system.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This means that nitric oxide is needed to properly regulate blood flow to the cells, tissues, and organs. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This dramatically improves blood flow, which then delivers more oxygen.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> More oxygen produces more energy and waste products that are easily transported away from the cells, tissues, and organs. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>The net result is improved organ function, improved energy, and a higher level of overall wellness.</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">By properly combining the amino acids L-arginine and L-citrulline with key antioxidants you can repair your endothelial cells and improve their ability to create nitric oxide. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>This has been </strong></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><a title="High Desert Heart Institute Study" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/high-desert-heart-institute-study/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">clinically shown to improve circulation</span></a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong> and reverse many cardiovascular health issues.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> It&#8217;s what makes the<span style="color: #000080;"> </span></span><span style="color: #000080;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;"><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #000080;">ProArgi-9 Plus</span></a></span></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #000080;"> </span>product so effective in helping people improve their energy production and cardiovascular health.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It&#8217;s pretty amazing how improved blood flow to all your cells, tissues, and organs can make such a significant difference in your overall health. But, there is still one other factor we need to address. That factor is the need for antioxidants to help protect your cells when oxygen is used to create all this wonderful energy. We&#8217;ll talk about this in my next post.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In my last </span><span style="color: #280099;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><a title="L-Arginine and L-Citrulline Foods" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/what-foods-contain-l-arginine-and-l-citrulline/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">post</span></a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> I showed you the amount of food you would need to consume to take in 5 grams of L-arginine, 1 gram of L-citrulline, and 400 micrograms of folic acid. Three key nutrients for cardiovascular health. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I&#8217;m using these quantities because most research shows that to receive a therapeutic benefit you would need to consume these amounts. L-arginine and L-citrulline are necessary for improved nitric oxide production. Folic acid is needed for proper red blood cell production and heart health. When people realize all the food they need to eat, and the limited menu they have to choose from, they begin to ask the question:</span></p>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">Is it better to get L-Arginine and</h1>
<h1 style="text-align: center;">L-Citrulline through food or supplementation?</h1>
<p style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This video answers that question. Enjoy it and I&#8217;ll have some observations to make after you watch it:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="500" height="405" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/W4-58uv39SM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="500" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/W4-58uv39SM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;border=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Observation 1 -</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> As you saw from the video there is a strong case for proper supplementation especially when you factor in calories, cost, and convenience. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>The cheapest meal you could consume was 12 ounces of black beans, 2.7 pounds of watermelon and 1 cup of Total cereal at a cost of $4.45. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">This meal would also </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">bring 813 calories into your body.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Observation 2 &#8211; Instead of conventional food you had two other choices.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> Your first choice would be to go to your local health food store and purchase three supplements: L-Arginine, L-Citrulline and Folic Acid. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>While this is the least expensive way at $1.86 it also means taking 13 capsules per day.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> You would need to take 1 Folic Acid tablet, 2 L-Citrulline capsules, and 10 L-Arginine capsules. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Just remember, if you choose supplementation then make sure that you only use the natural “L” form of the amino acid and never the “D” or synthetic form. Additionally, make sure that the product uses </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>“pharmaceutical grade”</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> ingredients. This ensures that the ingredients meet exacting standards so that product quality and consistency is maintained from batch to batch. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>This is especially important for L-arginine products.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There are a lot of</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong> “nitric oxide”</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> products in the marketplace. They are widely used by weight lifters to help them experience improved workouts and increased muscle mass. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>But, “nitric oxide” products are not to be played around with. </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It&#8217;s extremely important to know who the product formulator is and what experience they have in properly isolating L-arginine so that it can be effectively brought into your system. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">It&#8217;s also important to know if the product you&#8217;re considering has any clinical studies associated with it. Clinical studies that can support its effectiveness in truly improving the </span><span style="color: #280099;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><a title="Endothelial Cells" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/endothelial-cells/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">health of your endothelial cells</span></a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> so that they can properly produce higher levels of nitric oxide.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Observation 3 &#8211; As you know I&#8217;m a firm believer in </strong></span><span style="color: #280099;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><a title="ProArgi-9 Plus" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/proargi-9-plus/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">ProArgi-9 Plus</span></a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> It&#8217;s your other choice. While it&#8217;s slightly more than the supplements, it does provide you with 9 additional ingredients all designed to help improve cardiovascular health. When compared to the food choices, it is $2.00 cheaper and significantly lower in calories. This allows me to properly support my cardiovascular system, especially my endothelial cells. It also allows me more flexibility in my diet for other healthy organic foods. While there are a handful of other good products in the marketplace, none have the clinical studies to support their effectiveness like </span><span style="color: #280099;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><a title="High Desert Heart Institute Study" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/high-desert-heart-institute-study/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">ProArgi-9 Plus</span></a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Observation 4 –</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> I made a pitch for eating organic foods at the end of the video. While organic foods are certainly higher in cost than the store bought brands it&#8217;s worth the extra expense in helping improve liver function. As I shared in the video, every added </span><span style="color: #280099;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>“<a title="Healthy Liver" href="http://www.aging-no-more.com/healthy-liver.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;" rel="nofollow">chemical ingredient</span></a>”</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> has to be processed by your liver, which takes away its ability to help your body in other needed areas. If you want to have your eyes opened to the food industry and how they manufacturer our food sources, then rent the DVD </span><span style="color: #280099;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong><a title="Food Inc." href="http://www.foodincmovie.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;" rel="nofollow">Food Inc.</span></a></strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> from your favorite rental source. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Well, I hope this video and post has been educational and beneficial in helping you see proper supplementation as a complement to making good food choices. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1759" title="Watermelon" src="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/j0405636-300x200.jpg" alt="L-Citrulline" width="300" height="200" />What&#8217;s a picture of a watermelon have to do with L-citrulline? </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I&#8217;ll answer that in a little bit. Let&#8217;s first start with nitric oxide and L-arginine.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So much of the buzz about improved nitric oxide production centers on L-arginine. Unfortunately, many forget about L-citrulline. While L-arginine is the main amino acid used by the endothelial cells to create nitric oxide, <strong>some feel that L-citrulline is actually more important for long term nitric oxide production and improved cardiovascular health.</strong> </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I bring this to your attention because I&#8217;m in the process of developing an educational module designed to help those with sickle cell anemia. One complication for those who have sickle cell anemia is the negative effects of the enzyme arginase.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Arginase is an enzyme located primarily in the liver. It is used to help complete the fifth and final step in the urea cycle. This urea cycle helps your body dispose of harmful ammonia. It is also found in the kidneys and prostate. Some research indicates that arginase is located in the mitochondria of most cells. The mitochondria are the portions of your cells that produce the bulk of your energy.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;">Arginase and Circulation!</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">While arginase has a useful role in the body it can also play a negative role in circulation. Why? Because arginase destroys L-arginine. Your </span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a title="Endothelial Cells" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/endothelial-cells/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">endothelial cells</span></a></strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> convert the amino acid L-arginine to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is the master signaling molecule of your cardiovascular system. It regulates blood pressure, helps to improve blood flow, keeps blood platelet cells from sticking together, prevents LDL cholesterol from adhering to the vascular walls and is a factor in a host of other very important health issues. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Everyone carries arginase in their bloodstream which can have some affect on lowering nitric oxide production. This is a bigger problem in the African American community especially for those with sickle cell disease. Thankfully, your body has an alternative pathway that enables the endothelial cells to create nitric oxide. It&#8217;s through the amino acid L-citrulline.</span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;">How Important is L-citrulline?</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Well, let me introduce you to </span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a title="Dr. Louis J. Ignarro" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/dr-louis-ignarro-%e2%80%93-nobel-prize-laureate/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Dr. Louis J. Ignarro</span></a></strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> to answer that question. Dr. Ignarro is the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">. He, and two other American researchers, were awarded the Nobel Prize for their discovery of how the endothelial cells create nitric oxide (NO) from the essential amino acid L-arginine. In Dr. Ignarro&#8217;s book, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><em><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>NO More Heart Disease</strong></span></em></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">, he makes the following statement:</span></p>
<blockquote>
<h4 style="margin-bottom: 0in;">“<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>My research shows that if you take only L-arginine, which is the dominant producer of NO, you will not receive the maximum benefit. I have found that by including the synergistic partner L-citrulline, your ability to boost NO production is greatly enhanced over the effects of L-arginine alone.”</strong></span></h4>
</blockquote>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Your endothelial cells use an alternative pathway to convert L-citrulline to nitric oxide. This helps bypass the arginase enzyme so that good nitric oxide production can be restored. Plus, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>L-citrulline provides a 24 to 36 hour window for enhanced nitric oxide production</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> whereas L-arginine by itself usually only has a 30 minute to 2 hour window of enhanced nitric oxide production.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This means that L-arginine can help start the process of nitric oxide production to improve circulation. Then the L-citrulline can take over to continue the improved nitric oxide production helping to maintain improved circulation. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Dr. Ignarro goes on to say,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong> “Any supplement program that does not contain L-citrulline and antioxidants to augment the L-arginine – and most on the market do not – is missing out on a major piece of the potential of NO to improve your cardiovascular health.” </strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This statement and the information I shared so far leads to two important questions:</span></p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">What foods contain L-arginine and L-citrulline?</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;">Is it better to get these critical amino acids through food or supplementation?</h4>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I&#8217;m preparing two new videos to help answers these questions and to visibly show you the best and most effective method for enhanced nitric oxide production. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>But the first question brings me back to the picture of the watermelon.</strong></span></p>
<h2 style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;">The Watermelon!</h2>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">In March of 2007 there was a study published in the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>Journal of Nutrition</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">. The article was entitled </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>“Watermelon consumption increases plasma arginine concentrations in adults.”</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> This article created a significant buzz on the internet because L-arginine is needed to produce nitric oxide which is needed for a male erection. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>In the media, watermelon became the new and </strong></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><a title="Nitric Oxide and Erectile Dysfunction" href="http://no-more-heart-disease.com/nitric-oxide-and-erectile-dysfunction/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff0000;">natural Viagra</span></a></strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> While this study didn&#8217;t examine the effects on male anatomy it did provide some very important information confirming the body&#8217;s ability to convert L-citrulline to L-arginine to improve nitric oxide production.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The study subjects were given either 780 grams (equivalent of 1 g of citrulline) of watermelon or 1560 grams (equivalent of 2 g of citrulline) of watermelon. The study lasted three weeks. At the end of the study the 780 grams of watermelon group saw a 12% increase in fasting plasma arginine concentrations. The 1560 grams of watermelon group saw a 22% increase when compared to a control group that received no watermelon. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">This clearly shows that your body has an alternative pathway for creating the necessary L-arginine from the amino acid L-citrulline. </span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">So, is eating watermelon an effective way to improve nitric oxide production?</span></h4>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Well, the 780 grams of watermelon is equal to 1.72 pounds. The 1560 grams of watermelon is equal to 3.43 pounds. That&#8217;s a lot of watermelon to eat even if you like it. Plus, it includes the rind, that thick green outer covering of the watermelon. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><strong>I believe there&#8217;s an easier way to achieve an even better result.</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> I&#8217;ll show you in one of my upcoming videos.</span></p>
