Recent research reveals something deeply concerning about senior heart health. Adults over 65 with cardiovascular conditions are experiencing alarming declines in their cardiovascular health scores according to American Heart Association metrics.
I find this both concerning and sad. When the heart stops beating, life generally stops.
The data shows seniors with heart conditions scoring 8.9 points lower than those without cardiovascular disease. That’s not just a number. That represents years of declining vitality that most people don’t see coming.
The Proactive Problem
I’ve watched people in my life deal with heart issues. Most didn’t see it coming. But they also weren’t proactive.
They weren’t working out. They weren’t watching their diet. They weren’t doing the basic things to stay healthy.
The more proactive you are, the better shot you have at addressing problems before they present themselves. Yet most Americans carry a triple threat that accelerates heart aging.
First, we carry enormous stress. Stress produces cortisol, which causes havoc in the body.
Second, life has become sedentary. We’re not agrarian anymore. Most jobs don’t require physical endurance or strength. It becomes easy to sit instead of move.
Third, our diets are terrible. Hydrogenated oils, highly processed foods, corn syrup instead of natural sugars. All of this creates stress on heart tissue.
Your Heart’s Real Age
Here’s what’s alarming: research shows most people have a heart age that exceeds their chronological age. Men average a heart age of 56.7 versus their actual age of 49.7.
That’s nearly seven years of extra wear on the most vital organ in your body.
One of my teachers said that to live healthy, you have to work out right, sleep right, and eat right. Miss any one of those, and it becomes harder to be healthy.
That shows in our healthcare system. We have a litany of chronic diseases in America because people ignore these fundamentals.
The Connected Body
Most people think of heart health in isolation. That’s silly thinking.
Remember the children’s rhyme? The foot bone’s connected to the ankle bone, the ankle bone’s connected to the leg bone. Our bodies are completely interconnected.
When the heart is healthy, circulation improves overall. More circulation means more nutrition and vitality pumped through the system.
That’s why optimal heart health impacts brain function, vision, hearing, and reduces risks of cancer and dementia. Better circulation reaches every cell.
Food Versus Pharmaceuticals
Here’s where natural approaches differ fundamentally from conventional medicine. Pharmaceuticals work against the body’s systems. Natural solutions work with them.
When circulation improves naturally, blood vessels dilate. This follows the Venturi principle – wider vessels mean less pressure. The body’s electrical system also functions better, like a clear telephone line instead of a garbled connection.
Natural compounds support this process. Natural compounds like capsaicin act as vasodilators, while omega-3 fatty acids encourage nitric oxide release.
The difference is recognition. The body recognizes natural compounds as food. It assimilates them as food and utilizes them as food.
Divine Design
Our goal isn’t to synthesize things God hasn’t already placed on the planet. There’s a passage in Revelations about the healing of men coming from trees.
That’s what we focus on. Using what we’ve been provided with, through manufacturing processes that extract high potency for maximum absorption.
We’re simply giving people what their bodies need for optimal health, using the natural pharmacy God designed.
The proactive approach works. But it requires recognizing that your heart age might be telling a different story than your birth certificate.
