Mayor Bloomberg has all good intentions to try and reign in the obesity problem here in NYC. This is not an easy task, indeed! Limiting the size of sugary drinks to 16oz in certain establishments might elicit second thoughts in folks who would just order 2-16oz drinks to make up for the 32oz size they would normally purchase. I have a better idea: since research studies have concluded that obesity contributes to increased incidences of heart diseases, diabetes and other serious illnesses (and this, in turn, contributes to the high cost of medical care), why not let the people eat and drink what they want, charge them astonomical fees for their healthcare, and put a major tax on unhealthy items. It seems to work with cigarettes...this could be a huge money maker across the United States, where local municipalities are struggling to meet budgets. Hells bells...cities might start making major money...enough to hire back laid off persons...the economy could flourish, people could get as fat as they want as long as they pay for it....and the craziness of government could continue.....
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: There isn't much anyone else (gov't, weight watchers, pills, et al) can do for you if you are obese, unhealthy, and are living living with obesity-related diseases. Only you can make the difference. Begin today with a wellness program: diet, exercise, minor lifestyle changes and acupuncture. One of my wellness patients just lost over 35 pounds within 20 weeks just by sticking with his personalized plan. Call or email the office today.

How To Save Your Life Part 2
One of my readers was kind to give another healthy tip I will share with you today:
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: Besides the tip I gave you yesterday that can save your own life if you are experiencing a heart attack, you can also bear down as if you are having a bowel movement and cough. This 'bearing down' is called the Vasalva Movement and can help to invigorate the vagus nerve which is crucial for heart health. Another way to help prevent heart attact is to eat healthy, maintain a healthy weight and exercise daily.

Heart Healthy Tips for the Entire Family
EveryDay Health posted this really great piece on family heart healthy tips and I thought I'd share it with you today:
By Karen Asp
Medically reviewed by Rosalyn Carson-DeWitt, MD
"When it comes to boosting heart health, your diet plays a huge role. You are, after all, what you eat — which is why, when you consume a nutrient-deficient diet that's high in saturated fats, trans fats and sodium, you significantly increase your chances of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease. You also risk gaining weight, which could further jeopardize heart function.
So how can you make your diet more heart-friendly and still please your family's taste buds? Fortunately, all you need to do is make a few simple tweaks.
Replace processed with fresh. First, eliminate — or, at the very least, limit — processed foods like chips, cookies, and crackers, which are often loaded with fats, sodium, and other unhealthy ingredients. Stock your kitchen with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables instead. "Unlike processed foods, these whole foods provide an abundance of disease-fighting properties that reduce heart disease risk," says Sari Greaves, RD, CDN, New York City–based spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association and dietitian at Step Ahead Weight Loss Center in Bedminster, N.J.
The bonus? Whole foods are usually low in calories but high in fiber, so they'll fill you up on fewer calories — which could help you maintain or lose weight. One caveat: When buying whole-grain foods like cereals or breads, make sure the label says "whole" and each serving contains at least three grams of fiber.
Bulk up on lean protein. Protein is also an important part of any diet. "You get valuable nutrients from protein, and some sources like fish may even protect against heart disease," Greaves says, adding that protein can also help you feel more satisfied, reducing your urge to nibble later. Healthy protein sources include lean cuts of meat; such as skinless chicken breasts; fish, especially fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and herring; low-fat dairy products; eggs; nuts; nut butters; beans; lentils; and tofu. Caution: Protein sources can be high in calories, so don't go overboard. "Think of protein as an accompaniment to a meal," Greaves says.
For optimal heart benefits, eat six to eight ounces of fish per week. Greaves even recommends going meatless two days a week.
Watch those fats. Why worry about saturated fats? Plain and simple, they're bad for your heart. "They can raise your cholesterol, which increases your risk for heart disease and stroke," Greaves says. You'll find saturated fats mainly in animal products, so veer toward lean cuts of red meat (look for words like round, loin, sirloin, or 90 percent lean), low-fat cheeses, and low-fat or skim milk.
Trans fats are also dangerous to your heart, as they raise harmful LDL cholesterol levels, lower good HDL cholesterol levels, and increase your risk of heart disease. They're usually found in fried foods; processed baked goods like cookies, pie crusts, and pastries; and stick margarines and shortenings. You can spot them by looking for the words "partially hydrogenated oil" on the ingredient list.
Your body, though, does need fat, so focus on monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, both of which can boost heart health. Look for them in peanut butter; fatty fish; vegetable oils like olive, canola, and peanut; avocados; nuts; and seeds.
Practice portion control. Watch those portions, or you could risk gaining weight. One portion of meat, for instance, is three ounces, or about the size of a deck of cards; a serving of nuts is an ounce, or about a handful.
To make it easier to eat less, use smaller bowls and plates. Then split your plate into four quadrants, Greaves says. Fill half your plate with veggies. Divide the other half between protein and starches like brown rice or whole-wheat pasta.
Adopt heart-smart cooking techniques. Finally, know that how you prepare meals can affect how heart-friendly they are. Baking, broiling, and roasting are the healthiest options, while frying, especially in butter, is one of the least heart-friendly cooking methods. And rather than seasoning your meals with salt, try replacing it with herbs and spices like oregano, curry powder, and thyme.
It may take a little effort to make these switches, but the long-term payoff — your family's health — will be well worth it!"
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: Heart health does not discriminate age, so treat your kids right...get heart healthy for the family today. This is February and it's the month to become 'heart aware'. Stay tuned for more heart healthy info!!

Aspirin and Heart Attacks
A patient of mine shared this with me yesterday and I thought I'd pass it on to all of you....
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:
Why keep aspirin by your bedside?
About Heart Attacks
There are other symptoms of an heart attack besides the pain on the left arm.
One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating, however these symptoms may also occur less frequently.
Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack.. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep, did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep.
If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouthand swallow them with a bit of water .
Afterwards :
CALL 911
- say "heart attack!"
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins..
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and.
~ DO NOT lie down ~
A Cardiologist has stated that, if each person, after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life can be saved!
I have already shared the information- - What about you?
Do forward this message; it may save lives!

The Beautiful/Handsome You
How annoying is it when you meet someone you haven't seen for awhile and the first sentence out of their mouths isn't 'how are you?'...it's more like...'wow, you gained weight' or 'wow, you lost weight'. Why is our identity so hinged on our weight??
Recently, I watched a documentary about young girls in a particular African country who are of marriagable age. They are sent to 'camps' with other girls where they are force fed over 10,000 calories per day whether they can sustain the intake or not. The objective is to make them as obese as possible, because if they are as fat as a cow, their prospects of marriage are so much higher (obesity translates to wealth and fertility in some cultures). These young girls suffer from diabetes, kidney failure, heart disease and a plethora of other health conditions as a result of this force feeding. If they do not eat, they are beaten. Conversely, here in the United States, although obesity has been steadily on the rise for the past 10 years, the 'ideal' body image is close to that of a starving dog.
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: Beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder. Healthy lifestyle - diet, exercise, rest and happiness from within is what makes a beautiful/handsome person. What do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror? Write in annonymously and share with the group.
For the remainder of this week, I'm going to focus on eating disorders and will post various sites where, if you or someone you know has an eating disorder, help is out there for you.

Waist Size, Your Heart and Your Sex Life
Did you know that waist sizes greater than 40" in men and 35" in women are very strong indicators of metabolic dysfunction and are linked to possibly 50% in heart disease cases? A large waist size is also linked to erectile dysfunction, poor sex drive, high blood pressure, high blood fats, type 2 diabetes and high insulin resistance. (European Journal Cardiovascular Preventtion Rehabilitation, 16: 729-734, 2009).
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: all of the above are very good reasons to take a 1/2 hour walk or get that 30 minutes of exercise in everyday.

Hazy, Hot and Humid Monday
It's a hazy, hot and humid Monday and I'm sure many of you here in Manhattan are feeling the poor air quality that has been talked about so much on the television news this morning. It's important to take it a bit slower today and stay indoors - especially if you suffer from asthma or heart disease.
Here are Your Healthy Tips for Today: if you want to work out, do it at the gym. Don't be foolish and run outside where the air quality is poor. Take a bottle of water with you wherever you go today and make sure you stay hydrated. Don't get aggravated or frustrated - go slow! Keep your heart rate and blood pressure low...blowing a fuse doesn't do your health any good and you'll ruin everyone else's day if you take a heart attack or have a stroke - so don't be selfish! Eat watermelon!! Lots and lots of it (unless you have a sugar issue). Watermelon is eaten by the Chinese to stave off summer heat. It'll cool you off, it's fun and share it with your friend. Telephone and check up on an elderly neighbor, friend or relative and see what you can pick up from the market for them so they don't have to venture outside. Ensure that they are cool and comfortable. Last but not least...don't walk your pets in the heat. They get heatstroke faster than we do and the asphalt can and will burn their toe pads. Give them some watermelon as well.
Have a great Monday!

Congestive Heart Failure...Something You Should Know About
Today is the 12th anniversary of my father's demise. He died slowly and painfully of complications from smoking cigarettes and eating too much salt and sugar. The end cause was congestive heart failure. So, I thought I'd share some valuable information with all of you today so you know what this condition is and the symptoms involved. This information could save you or a loved one someday.
What is congestive heart failure?
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the heart's function as a pump to deliver oxygen rich blood to the body is inadequate to meet the body's needs. Congestive heart failure can be caused by:
diseases that weaken the heart muscle, diseases that cause stiffening of the heart muscles, or diseases that increase oxygen demand by the body tissue beyond the capability of the heart to deliver.
What are the symptoms of congestive heart failure?
The symptoms of congestive heart failure vary among individuals according to the particular organ systems involved and depending on the degree to which the rest of the body has "compensated" for the heart muscle weakness. An early symptom of congestive heart failure is fatigue. While fatigue is a sensitive indicator of possible underlying congestive heart failure, it is obviously a nonspecific symptom that may be caused by many other conditions. The person's ability to exercise may also diminish. Patients may not even sense this decrease and they may subconsciously reduce their activities to accommodate this limitation.
As the body becomes overloaded with fluid from congestive heart failure, swelling (edema) of the ankles and legs or abdomen may be noticed. In addition, fluid may accumulate in the lungs, thereby causing shortness of breath, particularly during exercise and when lying flat. In some instances, patients are awakened at night, gasping for air. Some may be unable to sleep unless sitting upright. The extra fluid in the body may cause increased urination, particularly at night. Accumulation of fluid in the liver and intestines may cause nausea, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: You only have one heart, so be nice to it. Feed it, exercise it, rest it and love it...just like your favorite pet.

The Treatment of High Blood Pressure with Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a highly effective therapy for curbing high blood pressure.
Hypertension is known as the “Silent Killer.” Did you know that 35% of hypertensive Americans are unaware they have high blood pressure? Be aware and have your blood pressure checked regularly by a Acupuncture physician to ensure that you are not on a blood pressure up-climb.
There are two types of high blood pressure. The first is known as Essential or Labile Hypertension. Here, there is no known cause (idiopathic), although stress is thought to be a major contributing factor. Stress is a natural biological function related to the adrenal glands, which regulate the heartbeat, kidney function, and elimination. Alcohol and caffeine consumption (stimulants), obesity, and genetic predispositions must also be addressed. Only when these factors (as well as diseases, cancers, and tumors of the heart, liver, kidneys, and hormonal system) that characterize Secondary Hypertension are ruled out as causations of high blood pressure, can a diagnosis of Essential Hypertension be made.
The second type of hypertension is called Organic or Secondary Hypertension. Diet, smoking, consumption of high fat foods and certain lifestyles contribute to this type of hypertension.
Traditional Chinese Medicine views hypertension as a state where there exists an imbalance of blood, Qi, and moisture being supplied to the organs of the body. Aside from measuring a patient’s blood pressure, an Acupuncture Physician can determine the root organ cause of high blood pressure by observing certain symptoms (headache, dizziness, eye disorders, palpitations, poor memory, insomnia, and ringing in the ears).
By inserting acupuncture needles into specific points, a neuro-chemical message is sent via the nervous and endocrine systems to the portion of the brain that corresponds to the unbalanced organ of the body. The brain then releases endorphins (natural pain killers) to various opioid receptors which signal the organ(s) to relax and return to normal functioning levels. As these organs return to normal function, the regulation of blood pressure follows. Acupuncture is highly effective when high blood pressure is detected in its early stages before the point at which arteries commence hardening, blood clots form (conditions that lead to heart attack or stroke). Regular treatments of acupuncture can reduce high blood pressure and stress in the long run.
