England's Rx To Boost Winter Heart Health!

                                  A Cup of Tea, Please! 

Can you guess what season creates the most heart attacks?
If you said the Summer season, you're wrong. It's the Winter season.
And researchers say it happens for a number of reasons, like...

* Colder air- which constrict airways and arteries
* Lack of exercise- many feel that it's too cold to head outdoors 

 and just give up their exercise routines.
* Non-Stop Buffets- As in Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's eve, 

 superbowl parties, and Valentine's day- champagne, chocolate, a good sirloin, etc.
* Lack of Sunlight- That's right, shorter days and too little sunlight play a part in
your well-being.  The Sun gets a bad rap, but it can actually boost immunity
levels and keep you fit, trim and heart healthy. 

* Snow Shoveling- Sitting indoors for days and weeks at a time and then coming out 
to shovel is equivalent to running a marathon in some cases. 
Hey, it's not called The "Widow Maker" for nothing,
And now that you know about some of the causes for that Winter heart attack,
it's time to learn how one country may help you prevent them. 

The country: England!

Hey, no jokes about fish and chips (fries) or bubble and squeak, or -heavy
meals or endless mugs of beer.
This tip is all about that beverage that has kept most Brits hale and hearty
 for centuries, the beverage: Tea, and not your run-of-the mill black tea. 

No- the tea that'll keep your heart in tip-top shape, is Earl Grey Tea!
It protects your heart in 2 ways, the 2 ways...

* It cuts the risk of clogged arteries, thanks to the antioxidants in the tea.
* And it contains a key flavoring called Bergamot, acts like a Dr. prescribed
statin to reduce bad cholesterol and increase the good kind of cholesterol.

So, if you're concerned about your heart health in the Winter or any other 

season, make sure to have the beverage that's been a staple of the
English diet for centuries, Earl Grey tea.
Look for Earl Grey tea at supermarkets or health-food stores, or go online
to a reputable tea shoppe and buy some loose tea and steep it for 5 mins. 

Avoid oversteeping or it'll be bitter.
And serve some with lemon or lime juice and not milk as it has a citrusy flavor
already. Also helpful...skip the scones, danish, canolis, doughnuts and other
pastries with your cup of tea, this too, also helps you avoid  Winter heart attacks. 


Good Luck!

The British Rx For A Healthier Heart!

               A Spot Of Tea For You! 

The Brits don't have a good reputation when it comes to health.
But that's not entirely true. If something is done in moderation, 

it may actually boost health.
Take a pint... as in beer, a glass or two a few times a wk, can
build strong bones, keep dementia at bay, help you sleep
and keep your heart beating a lot longer.
And speaking of beating hearts, February is "heart health month"

and if you want heart health, then you must look to the Brits.

The Brits?
Yes, and for better heart health,  you must adopt their habit of drinking tea.
More specifically black tea.
Why black tea?
It (black tea) can send your level of artery-clogging triglycerides spiraling
down about 35%. Triglycerides are fats that clog up arteries, and too many
of these harmful types of fat will raise your risk of a heart attack considerably.

So, if you can put aside your prejudices of the Brits and adopt this one habit,
you can keep your heart beating strong well into old age.
Recommended dose: 3 cups of black tea a day.
And if you drink tea, make sure to have it with a little honey, 

some lemon or a little milk. Skip the sugar and the pastries. 
Both are damaging to the heart.

Good Luck!
