Your heart keeps the beat of your life and provides the rhythm for your soul. The heart has many roles in our life in addition to keeping the blood supply going to the rest of our body. The heart provides inspiration for poets, songwriters, athletes and people from all walks of life. Evander Holyfield said, " It's not the size of a man but the size of his heart that matters." Our hearts can lead, guide and direct us in many important and life changing decisions.
This edition of our USANA Newsletter informs you to care for your heart as your heart cares for you with features including diseases related to heart disease, an article on Heart Health from Dr. Ladd McNamara, USANA Athletes and the Winter Olympics, Child Obesity, Blog Updates, Product of the Month: MyHealthpak, and showing your heart to others.
Heart Disease is still the number one killer of Americans each year. The most common form of heart disease according to the CDC appears as a Heart Attack. Approx 785,000 had a new attack last year. We often hear the effects of Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure in addition to a Heart Attack. There are other Diseases such as Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolic Syndrome linked to Heart Disease as outlined from the American Heart Association.
In my book, The Cholesterol Conspiracy, I emphasized how important co-enzyme Q10 (Co-Q10) is in promoting heart health: preventing cardiovascular disease, and apparently even reversing the signs of cardiovascular disease. However, the benefits of Co-Q10 are not limited to the heart, but are extended to the entire body, in particular to the brain, the skin, and most importantly to the reduction of cancer development and apparently as an adjunctive therapy in the treatment of cancer itself!
The Winter Olympics will feature many team and individual USANA Sponsored Athletes. USANA offers a $1,000,000 guarantee to Athletes that they will not test positive for banned substances.

Our heart, we can wear it on our sleeve, follow it, lead with it, it can be broken, & mended. One can have the heart of a lion. It can be made of stone, gold, glass, be hungry, lonely, and love can be generated from all of it or it's bottom.
There are days in this month to think about others, those close to our heart, athletes, and Presidents. George Washington, our first President said," Let your heart feel for the afflictions and distress of everyone, and let your hand give in proportion to your purse. "
