Grape Seed Extract (GSE) for Your Heart!

There are a lot of scientific articles about the benefits of GSE. This article is an attempt to distill the jargon down to an understandable level for us non-scientists.

Red grape seed extract is powerful protection for your heart. It strengthens your arteries and capillaries and provides antioxidant protection as well. Studies show GSE produces changes favorable to cardiovascular health, including improving the metabolism of triglycerides and cholesterol. It's worth noting that red grape seed extract has higher levels of the beneficial compounds than green (white), black, yellow, pink or purple. 

Cardiovascular Protection

A great deal of research has been done on the diet of the French people, which is high in saturated fat, yet they have a very low incidence of heart disease. The conclusion is the red wine they consume is high in the beneficial compounds of GSE and protects their hearts. The red wine from southwestern France and Sardinia have the highest levels of these compounds. A votre sante!

Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs)

OPCs provide better antioxidant protection against heart disease and cancer than vitamins C and E. Oxidized LDLs (the bad cholesterol) damage the cells that line the arteries, resulting in atherosclerosis or hardened arteries. GSE inhibits this oxidation. Studies suggest that OPCs alos inhibit tumor cell growth and enhance normal cell growth.

Other Benefits of GSE

GSE has also been shown to help in the treatment of venous insufficiency, liver protection from toxins, sign of aging skin, diabetic cardiomyopathy and other vascular conditions.

Dental disease caused by unfriendly bacteria in the mouth can enter the bloodstream and cause platelets to stick together, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. 

GSE blocks elastase which damages the skin, making you look older. 

Studies show that GSE plays an important role against diabetic cardiomyopathy and may have potential in the treatment of vascular complications. 

Consult with Your Doctor

You should always consult with your doctor before you take any supplements, especially if you are already taking any medications. 

You can get GSE in pill form from many fine retailers, but there is an alternative! TripleClicks exclusive Advanced Liquid Nutrition is a delicious berry-flavored liquid supplement that has GSE and a variety of other nutrients, vitamins and minerals. 

The Amazing Acai Berry!

Antioxidants

These powerful substances help slow the production of free radicals, which the body produces naturally. Free radicals, left unchallenged can cause a wide range of illnesses and chronic diseases. Although the body also produces antioxidants naturally, free radicals generally outnumber them. 

The good news is that antioxidants are plentiful in fruits and vegetables. The three major antioxidant vitamins are beta-carotene, vitamin C and vitamin E. Colorful fruits and vegetables, purple, red, blue, orange and yellow, are loaded with them. 

The Acai Berry

This reddish-purple fruit comes from the acai palm tree which is native to Central and South America. Some studies show that this berry is even richer in antioxidants than it's relatives; blueberries and cranberries.

Health Benefits

People have been using the acai berry for centuries for healing and boosting immunity and energy. 

It's extremely high in anthocyanins associated with lowering cholesterol levels in the bloodstream as well as sterols associated with improving blood circulation. 

The berry can help promote skin and digestive health and is also hailed as an anti-aging and energy boosting agent.

TripleClick's exclusive Advanced Liquid Nutrition is packed with acai berry extract. 

Dental Health

Healthy Teeth and Gums

Healthy teeth and gums are free of cavities, plaque build-up, inflammation and infection. Brushing and flossing your teeth properly can help prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Dental disease can lead to inflammation, infection, damage to bone or nerve and tooth loss. Untreated infections can even spread to other parts of your body. 

Oral Hygiene

The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Brushing your teeth twice a day for at least 2 minutes and flossing between your teeth once a day are good oral hygiene habits. Eat a balanced diet, limit in-between meal sugary snacks and see your dentist regularly.

Boost Your Oral Care Routine

Did you know an apple a day can help keep the dentist away too? Apples (and celery) are rich in water and scrub your teeth and gums so that plaque can't form. 

Green tea is a natural anti-bacterial. Kiwis and strawberries have the highest concentrations of Vitamin C and eachinacea and olive leaf are gum friendly herbs. 

If you're interested in adding an alcohol-free mouthwash to your routine, try Periowash. It contains natural herbs and essential oils to promote healthy gums.
