Life is my college. May I graduate well, and earn some honors!

My association with BCIP has been similar to that of a mother and daughter. From bringing me into this world of physiotherapy, teaching me the basics and complexities of this profession and paving the path towards being an astute physical therapist, BCIP has always showered a motherly affection and inspired me to give my best. Presently I am pursuing my MPT sports from Jamia Millia Islamia and my BPT knowledge is boon for me.

your skills.

My college taught me the ethics of my discussing and cherishing everyday. I am very thankful to all my teachers

who nurtured me selflessly, especially Dr. Abha Sharma for helping me in becoming who I am today.

EXERCISE TIPSHEART

According to Jennifer Mieres, M.D., American Heart Association (AHA), "to get heart-healthy benefits, you need to get your heart rate up" there are dozens of activities you can do to help your heart. Whether it is a structured exercise program or just part of your daily routine, all physical activity adds up. It's easy to follow these exercise tips at home, at work, and at play to increase the amount of physical activity in your life.

Tips to help you start a heart healthy exercise plan.

1. Aerobic exercises done 30 minutes a day is excellent for increasing your heart rate. Climbing the stairs, a brisk walk, orbital exercise machine or treadmill, anything to get your heart rate up.

2. Any moderate-intensity exercise like swimming, jogging, Pilates and yoga is good. Exercising your heart muscle mean exercising your body. You don't need a gym, just a bit of motivation and a good pair of walking shoes.

3. If you “don't have time” then there should be more frequent sessions, like 5-10 minutes several times a day throughout your day. Take the stairs, park your car further away from the door, and definitely count in those house chores such as, vacuuming, or a short brisk walk around the block at lunch or for a break.

4. If you already do a vigorous aerobic routine or enrolled in an exercise class, then three days a week for 20 minutes a day is good.

5. For adults that are 65 and older or anyone with chronic conditions or limited mobility, you need the same amount of exercise as younger people – the activity can be less intense.

6. Strength training is a great complement to aerobic training and helps to prevent age-related bone and muscle-mass losses. Keep in mind that strength training doesn't increase heart rate but does increase stamina. Use it to target areas where muscle-tone is needed and don't forget the other muscle groups.

7. With any plan, start strength training slowly and build up to heavier weights and repetitions especially if you are new or out of shape. The old adage "no pain, no gain" is more often inappropriate and can be dangerous.

8. Practice balance exercises to help prevent falls and injuries. Balance techniques are used frequently as exercises in yoga or more simple forms of balancing exercises such as walking heal-to-toe, standing on one foot, or standing up and sitting down without using your hands.

9. Stretching exercises done twice a week helps keep flexibility, which is very important. Consider 10 minutes of stretching twice a week to improve your flexibility.

With any exercise program, it's good to start slowly by warming up, then increasing the pace. A good cooling down afterwards is also equally important. With any new exercise plan, check with your doctor if you are at risk and follow the advice of qualified professionals.

BELLY FAT

BEAT IT

AND

HOW TO

A pot belly... love handles... the spare tire... call it what you will. It seems to be the area of your body that you'd really like to do something about.

Not only is a firm, flat stomach the ultimate dream, researchers have found that losing abdominal fat is one of the most important steps you can take to stay healthy for life.

Most people realize that excess fat is unhealthy, but the key is where the fat is distributed. People with apple-shaped bodies (fattest in the abdomen) have a greater risk of heart disease and diabetes than those with pear shapes (fattest in the hips, buttocks, and thighs).

There are two main types of fat in the stomach area.

1. Visceral fat is stored deep inside your body. It surrounds and protects your internal organs.

2. Subcutaneous fat, on the other hand, is stored just under your skin. It's the stuff that wobbles when you jump up and down.

Behavior therapy involves changing diet and physical activity patterns and habits to new behaviors that promote weight loss.

Behavioral therapy strategies for weight loss and maintenance include:

1. Recording diet and exercise patterns in a diary.

2. Identifying high-risk situations (such as having high-calorie foods in the house), and consciously avoiding them.

3. Rewarding specific actions, such as exercising for a longer time or eating less of a certain type of food.

4. Changing unrealistic goals and false beliefs about weight loss and body image to realistic and positive ones.

5. Developing a social support network (family, friends or colleagues) or joining a support group that can encourage weight loss in a positive and motivating manner.

6. Behavior therapy provides ways to overcome barriers to dietary therapy or physical activity. A good behavior therapy plan has the following characteristics:

incorporates the person's attitudes, beliefs, and history includes a partnership with the healthcare provider sets reasonable goals includes self-monitoring, with appropriate rewards focuses on what matters includes frequent contact with the healthcare provider

Behavior modification is common to all weight loss programs. Modification includes strategies that aid individuals to overcome barriers to comply with dietary changes and physical activity. Most behavioral modification programs encourage self-monitoring of both diet and exercise to increase one's own awareness of the activities.

Modification strategies may also include stress management, social support, and stimulus control.

It won't surprise you to learn that the best way to lose abdominal fat is to eat right and exercise regularly. And there's a growing body of research to show that the fastest way to burn off the fat from your belly is with a combination of weight training and aerobic exercise.

Unfortunately, self-reported food intake is a notoriously inaccurate way to measure calorie intake. Some studies show that people underestimate their calorie intake by up to 50%, which means that someone who says they are eating 1000 calories per day may really be eating 2000 calories.

Firstly, you will need to exercise. And a feeble 30 or 40 minutes of cardio in your so-called fat-burning zone" two or three times a week isn't going to be enough. A full-body training program that includes both cardiovascular and resistance exercise will deliver better, faster results.

Forget about doing hundreds of crunches, sit-ups, or any of the various "drawing in the belly button" exercises. They're virtually useless for most people when it comes to losing belly fat. Abdominal exercises do NOT burn fat away from your abs! This can only be accomplished through a much more effective full-body training routine that maximizes both your metabolic response and your hormonal response to your workouts. Remember, belly fat is

stored energy. To get rid of it, you need to burn more energy (calories) than you eat. And these exercises don't burn enough calories to make much of a difference to the appearance of your waist and stomach.

It's a cliché, but a flat stomach is made in the kitchen and not the gym. Deciding what to eat can be difficult, especially with the mass of conflicting and confusing information out there. When it comes to nutrition, most people have only half knowledge. Ultimately, while there are a few basic principles to keep in mind when it comes to nutrition and weight loss, losing belly fat requires that you take in fewer calories than you burn. Don't get into following an overly complicated diet masquerading under the guise of a "new and revolutionary" approach to weight loss.

Finally, you'll need to be consistent. To lose belly fat, eating right and exercising regularly needs to become a habit, not just something you do when you can be bothered or when you "have the time." If your current schedule makes it difficult to find the time for exercise, change it. Get out of bed earlier. Turn off the TV.

Stop wasting time on Face book.

If I could take your troubles

But all these things I'm finding

BELLY FAT

BEAT IT

AND

HOW TO

A pot belly... love handles... the spare tire... call it what you will. It seems to be the area of your body that you'd really like to do something about.

Not only is a firm, flat stomach the ultimate dream, researchers have found that losing abdominal fat is one of the most important steps you can take to stay healthy for life.

Most people realize that excess fat is unhealthy, but the key is where the fat is distributed. People with apple-shaped bodies (fattest in the abdomen) have a greater risk of heart disease and diabetes than those with pear shapes (fattest in the hips, buttocks, and thighs).

There are two main types of fat in the stomach area.

1. Visceral fat is stored deep inside your body. It surrounds and protects your internal organs.

2. Subcutaneous fat, on the other hand, is stored just under your skin. It's the stuff that wobbles when you jump up and down.

Behavior therapy involves changing diet and physical activity patterns and habits to new behaviors that promote weight loss.

Behavioral therapy strategies for weight loss and maintenance include:

Dogs are like people in so many ways, so when the pet has an injury, undergoes surgery or is getting on in years and suffers from arthritis, develop similar diseases affecting their mobility and quality of life such as arthritis, often causing stiffness and reduced ability to exercise. Dogs, like footballers, can also suffer cruciate ligament injuries from chasing a ball! They often require surgery to treat this and many other conditions affecting their bones, ligaments, muscles or tendons.

The aim of an animal physiotherapist is to restore and maintain the mobility, function, independence and performance of your dog throughout any stage of his life.

Why dog Physiotherapy?

“A dog can say more with a quick wag of its tail than many people who talk for hours.”

Dog physiotherapy is vital to relieve pain and discomfort, and to build up strength and flexibility in order to regain normal movement and function to enable the dog to return to a happy, healthy lifestyle. Often you wouldn't know if the pet had sore or tight muscles, or was suffering from weakness or a sprain in their muscles, tendons or ligaments. Physiotherapists are experts in hands on therapy and have gained years of knowledge and experience working with people, so they can tell what the problem is and what treatment and exercises are going to help.

Dog's Physiotherapy Session

Therapist performs a detailed assessment of dog's health, physical problems and lifestyle through questions, observation and then specific hands on assessment. A specific treatment program is designed and discussed with the owner. The sessions taking up to 45 minutes. Therapist always provides dog owners with useful advice and teaches many techniques to carry out at home to improve their pet's recovery. There are also many precautions owners need to be aware of within the home after surgery or injury. Care on using the stairs, avoiding slips on laminate or wooden floors, assisting the dog in and out of the car, and ensuring they are safe and comfortable within their home is important and will be advised on, as dogs need a period of rest and recuperation in order to make the best recovery possible.

Treatments such as massage, soft tissue techniques, joint mobilisations and the use of heat and gentle stretches are implemented to aid circulation, healing and movement. Also, electrotherapy techniques such as therapeutic ultrasound, muscle stimulation and magnetic therapy are used to promote tissue healing and speed the recovery process.

Dogs also need to do specific exercises like people would to build up their strength, and improve their balance and co-ordination. Although they can't go to a gym like we would, there are many exercises for dogs which owners can easily do at home or incorporate into their walks. Strengthening and balance exercises include slow walking up slopes and hills, doing circles and figures of eight, sit to stand exercises and many more all dependent on what injury, surgery or condition the dog has. It is important that the exercises are as enjoyable as possible for the dog, and that they are rewarded for doing them.

Canine Conditions

Degenerative joint disease, Muscle sprains/strains, Cruciate ligament injury, Hip dysplasia, Triple pelvic osteotomy or joint replacements, Femoral head and neck excision, Post Fracture rehabilitation, Elbow dysplasia, Spinal surgery, Nerve injuries, Chronic degenerative mylopathy.

Arthritis is the most common condition which is found in the dogs. As the dogs tend to accompany their owners closely, they also go for walks and climb stairs, activities that become difficult and painful for dogs with arthritis. Treatment of the condition relies on the use of painkilling drugs combined with physiotherapy. A number of different physiotherapy regimes are available but until recently there had been only very limited investigations of their affects on dogs.

Research has shown that music has a profound effect on your body and psyche. In fact, there's a growing field of health care known as music therapy, which uses music to heal. Those who practice music therapy are finding a benefit in using music to help cancer patients, children with Attention Deficit Disorder, and others, and even hospitals are beginning to use music and music therapy to help with pain management, to help ward off depression, to promote movements, to calm patients, to ease muscle tension, and for many other benefits that music and music therapy can bring. This is not surprising, as music affects the body and mind in many powerful ways. The following are some of effects of music, which help to explain the effectiveness of music therapy:

• Brain Waves: music with a strong beat can stimulate brainwaves to resonate in sync with the beat, with faster beats bringing sharper concentration and more alert thinking, and a slower tempo promoting a calm, meditative state. Also, research has found that the change in brainwave activity levels that music can bring can also enable the brain to shift speeds more easily on its own as needed, which means that music can bring lasting benefits to your state of mind, even after you've stopped listening.

• Breathing and Heart Rate: With alterations in brainwaves come changes in other bodily functions. Those governed by the autonomic nervous system, such as breathing and heart rate can also be altered by the changes music can bring. This can mean slower breathing, slower heart rate, and an activation of the relaxation response, among other things. This is why music and music therapy can help counteract or prevent the damaging effects of chronic stress, greatly promoting not only relaxation, but health.

• State of Mind: Music can also be used to bring a more positive state of mind, helping to keep depression and anxiety at bay. This can help prevent the stress response from wreaking havoc on the body, and can help keep creativity and optimism levels higher, bringing many other benefits.

• Other Benefits: Music has also been found to bring many other benefits, such as lowering blood pressure (which can also reduce the risk of stroke and other health problems over time), boost immunity, ease muscle tension, and more. With so many benefits and such profound physical effects, it's no surprise that so many are seeing music as an important tool to help the body in staying (or becoming) healthy.

Music has frequently been used as a therapeutic agent from the ancient times. Music is a kind of yoga system through the medium of sonorous sound, which acts upon the human organism and awakens and develops their proper functions to extent of self-realisation. This is the ultimate goal of Hindu Philosophy and religion. Melody is the keynote of Indian Music. The 'Raga' is the basis of melody. Various 'Ragas', have been found to be very effective in curing many diseases. Music helps in the treatment of actual diseases in the following manners:

• One obvious use of music is that of a sedative. It can replace the administration of tranquilizers, or at least reduce the dosage of tranquillizers.

• Music increases the metabolic activities within the human body. It accelerates the respiration, influences the internal secretion, improves the muscular activities and as such affects the Central Nervous System and Circulatory System of the listener and the performer.

Music Therapy is not the subject of an article only. The entire subject is now in the experimental and implementation stage and data are rapidly accumulating. And the ancient system is gradually being transformed in to a modern science. The concept of Music Therapy is dependent on correct intonation and right use of the basic elements of music. Such as notes,(swar),rhythm, volume, beats and piece of melody. There are countless 'Ragas' of course with countless

The modern revival of music therapy has not yet sufficiently progressed to indicate its full utility. Several problems immediately invite further research. Under existing conditions, it would seem advisable to broaden the foundation of musical research. Not only to advance the ethical and moral rights of the human being, but also to prevent, if possible, the negative and destructive influences which may be due to ignorance of the laws governing the effects of sound and rhythm. The Indian would regard it as a sacrilege to profane his magic music, and would further insist that such profanation would destroy the healing power of the rites. It is obvious that the psychological effect of the therapeutic music would be greater if the patient understood that the scientific foundation of the procedure had been thoroughly established.

But learns from their mistakes and puts them beneath.

A player is one who doesn't give up at the sound of the buzzer,

Always giving what they have from one side of the court to the

other.

A player is one who doesn't whine about their playing time,

Because a player knows it's an unacceptable crime.

A player is one who practices game-speed,

Always keeping in mind that their shots are not guaranteed.

A player is one who doesn't settle for anything less,

Even knowing, that they're not the best.

They will be the ones you see outside practicing,

Day or Night, Rain or shine,

They are the ones running on hurt ankles, admitting there fine.

A player is one who has a strong, sensible mind,

Never pondering about failing, only contemplating prevailing.

A player is one who doesn't chicken out,

Who wants to be in the game when everything counts.

Now, that is a true player.

stance phase. Smaller amplitude in hip flexor moment during the second half of stance phase is noted. In the first half of stance phase, absence of hip internal rotation moment is seen. This allows for an associated movement of the pelvis into internal rotation after heel contact. This differs from normal walking, where the burst of internal hip rotation moment facilitated movement of the pelvis into external rotation. Furthermore, the normal short burst of hip adduction moment after initial contact is absent. The knee flexion/extension moment profile shows minimal extension moment generation throughout the whole gait cycle and particularly during the loading response. Ankle plantarflexion/dorsiflexion moments and power profiles shows similar shapes in both groups. There is no knee power absorption/ generation throughout the majority of stance phase in the SMA group, while the hip power is similar in both groups.

Ground reaction forces shows similar shapes in the anterior/posterior and medio/lateral directions. The vertical component shows distinctive difference during loading response where the body weight transfer onto the landing limb is delayed. This is associated with prolonged activity of the contralateral hip abductors, as suggested by the prolonged hip abductor moment at the end of the stance phase.

Spinal muscular atrophy is a group of inherited diseases that cause progressive muscle degeneration and weakness, eventually leading to death.

It is a collection of different muscle diseases. Grouped together, it is the second leading cause of neuromuscular disease. Most of the time, a person get the defective gene from both parents. Approximately 4 out of every 100,000 people have the condition.

The most severe form is SMA type I, also called Werdnig-Hoffman disease. Infants with SMA type II have less severe symptoms during early infancy, but they become progressively weaker with time. SMA type III is the least severe form of the disease. The spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) comprise a group of autosomal-recessive disorders characterized by progressive weakness of the lower motor neurons.

Symptoms: muscle weakness, feeding difficulties, breathing difficulties and respiratory tract infections, bladder weakness, scoliosis, improper or limping gait pattern, poor muscle tone, fast speech.

Muscles involved in disease: Most of the nerve cells that control muscles are located in the spinal cord, which accounts for the word spinal in the name of the disease. SMA is muscular, because its primary effect is on muscles, which don't receive signals from these nerve cells.

The muscles closer to the center of the body (proximal muscles) are usually more than the muscles farther from the center (distal muscles).

There is respiratory muscle weakness (including the rectus abdominus, internal and external oblique, and transversus abdominus) and swallowing and back muscles like serratus posterior superior and inferior and errector spinae, spinalis, illiocostalis and longissimus, in leg usually calf muscles, gastronemius and soleus are affected and quadriceps, hamstrings and glutei are also affected. Then shoulder muscles that lie closer to the center are also affected.

Gait pattern observed-Neuromuscular disorders include heterogeneous groups of diseases of the motor unit, with muscular weakness as a common and usually predominant clinical sign. Muscle weakness is the major limiting factor that profoundly influences walking ability in patients with neuromuscular disorders Clinical observation of walking in people with neuromuscular disorders suggests that various adaptations may occur.

In terms of spatio-temporal gait characteristics, coping responses include decrease of walking speed, step length and swing time in order to reduce the mechanical output requirements of weak muscles. Various kinematic and kinetic adaptations, including forward pelvic tilt with lumbar lordosis, reduced loading response, and rapid hip extension following initial contact, equinus foot position and lateral trunk motion are observed.

Kinematic patterns: anterior pelvic tilt is observed in the SMA group throughout the whole gait cycle. After heel strike a pronounced internal rotation of the pelvis characterized loading response and mid-stance in the SMA group. The internal rotation of the pelvis is associated with rapid hip extension during the first 25% of stance in the SMA group. The hip is more flexed and adducted throughout the majority of gait cycle.

Kinetic patterns The hip flexion/ extension moment profile shows smaller amplitude and shorter duration of hip extensor moment in the first half of

stance phase. Smaller amplitude in hip flexor moment during the second half of stance phase is noted. In the first half of stance phase, absence of hip internal rotation moment is seen. This allows for an associated movement of the pelvis into internal rotation after heel contact. This differs from normal walking, where the burst of internal hip rotation moment facilitated movement of the pelvis into external rotation. Furthermore, the normal short burst of hip adduction moment after initial contact is absent. The knee flexion/extension moment profile shows minimal extension moment generation throughout the whole gait cycle and particularly during the loading response. Ankle plantarflexion/dorsiflexion moments and power profiles shows similar shapes in both groups. There is no knee power absorption/ generation throughout the majority of stance phase in the SMA group, while the hip power is similar in both groups.

Ground reaction forces shows similar shapes in the anterior/posterior and medio/lateral directions. The vertical component shows distinctive difference during loading response where the body weight transfer onto the landing limb is delayed. This is associated with prolonged activity of the contralateral hip abductors, as suggested by the prolonged hip abductor moment at the end of the stance phase.

Spinal muscular atrophy is a group of inherited diseases that cause progressive muscle degeneration and weakness, eventually leading to death.

It is a collection of different muscle diseases. Grouped together, it is the second leading cause of neuromuscular disease. Most of the time, a person get the defective gene from both parents. Approximately 4 out of every 100,000 people have the condition.

The most severe form is SMA type I, also called Werdnig-Hoffman disease. Infants with SMA type II have less severe symptoms during early infancy, but they become progressively weaker with time. SMA type III is the least severe form of the disease. The spinal muscular atrophies (SMAs) comprise a group of autosomal-recessive disorders characterized by progressive weakness of the lower motor neurons.

Symptoms: muscle weakness, feeding difficulties, breathing difficulties and respiratory tract infections, bladder weakness, scoliosis, improper or limping gait pattern, poor muscle tone, fast speech.

Muscles involved in disease: Most of the nerve cells that control muscles are located in the spinal cord, which accounts for the word spinal in the name of the disease. SMA is muscular, because its primary effect is on muscles, which don't receive signals from these nerve cells.

The muscles closer to the center of the body (proximal muscles) are usually more than the muscles farther from the center (distal muscles).

There is respiratory muscle weakness (including the rectus abdominus, internal and external oblique, and transversus abdominus) and swallowing and back muscles like serratus posterior superior and inferior and errector spinae, spinalis, illiocostalis and longissimus, in leg usually calf muscles, gastronemius and soleus are affected and quadriceps, hamstrings and glutei are also affected. Then shoulder muscles that lie closer to the center are also affected.

Gait pattern observed-Neuromuscular disorders include heterogeneous groups of diseases of the motor unit, with muscular weakness as a common and usually predominant clinical sign. Muscle weakness is the major limiting factor that profoundly influences walking ability in patients with neuromuscular disorders Clinical observation of walking in people with neuromuscular disorders suggests that various adaptations may occur.

In terms of spatio-temporal gait characteristics, coping responses include decrease of walking speed, step length and swing time in order to reduce the mechanical output requirements of weak muscles. Various kinematic and kinetic adaptations, including forward pelvic tilt with lumbar lordosis, reduced loading response, and rapid hip extension following initial contact, equinus foot position and lateral trunk motion are observed.

Kinematic patterns: anterior pelvic tilt is observed in the SMA group throughout the whole gait cycle. After heel strike a pronounced internal rotation of the pelvis characterized loading response and mid-stance in the SMA group. The internal rotation of the pelvis is associated with rapid hip extension during the first 25% of stance in the SMA group. The hip is more flexed and adducted throughout the majority of gait cycle.

Kinetic patterns The hip flexion/ extension moment profile shows smaller amplitude and shorter duration of hip extensor moment in the first half of

Genetics play a big role in heart health. But lifestyle choices, like diet and exercise, play an even bigger part in preventing and reversing heart disease. The eight snacks on this list are particularly powerful -- packed with nutrients that fight heart disease and the risk factors that cause it. And because they're portable, they're a cinch to fit into any busy schedule.

1. Apples

The humble apple is king, especially when it comes to fighting heart disease.

They're chock-full of pectin, a fiber that interacts with other phytonutrients found in apples to deliver a host of cardiovascular benefits.

Quercetin and other apple antioxidants combat oxidative stress that can lead to atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems, while pectin helps lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, a precursor and contributor to heart disease. Apples are also anti-inflammatory, which helps support overall vascular health.

2. Garbanzo beans (chickpeas)

They're packed with soluble fiber -- which helps lower cholesterol -- in addition to heart-protective antioxidants, potassium, and omega-3 fatty acids.

3. Almonds

Researchers comparing evidence from four large epidemiological studies found that regular consumption of nuts was associated with a 37 percent reduced risk of coronary heart disease.

Almonds house a slew of heart-healthy nutrients, including fiber, vitamin E, potassium, and magnesium. Magnesium contributes to healthy blood pressure, and potassium is essential for helping your heart pump blood. Almonds are also rich in monounsaturated fat -- the healthy kind -- which has been associated with lower levels of heart disease in countless studies.

4. Blueberries

Studies show that high blueberry consumption (one to two cups per day) can improve cholesterol levels, lower triglycerides, and protect against oxidative damage that could lead to clogged blood vessels, a sign of heart disease.

Blueberries are powerful pellets of antioxidants (especially manganese and vitamins C and E) that provide protection on a cellular level. In addition to lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol and raising HDL ("good") cholesterol, the phytonutrients in blueberries also prevent plaque buildup in the arteries, protect blood vessels, and support healthy blood pressure levels.

5. Dark chocolate

Dark chocolate has a high percentage of cocoa. Cocoa is incredibly rich in compounds known as flavanols (a type of flavonoid), which help prevent clogged arteries, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Dark chocolate has also been shown to decrease blood pressure.

A small amount of dark chocolate is healthy for most people. Stick to small portions (about a two-inch square, or no more than an ounce) of chocolate with a high cocoa content -- 70 percent or higher.

6. Grapes

Grapes are high in various heart-protective nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, potassium, and flavonoids.

Grapes support cardiovascular health primarily thanks to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Together, these nutrients promote healthy blood pressure, reduce LDL cholesterol, and help your heart pump blood. B6 is a powerful anti-inflammatory agent that helps minimize the risk of inflammation, atherosclerosis, and hypertension.

7. Figs

Figs deliver a high dose of fiber, which is necessary for any healthy diet plan, but it's because they're so high in potassium that they made this list.

Time and again, studies have linked potassium-rich diets with healthy blood pressure levels and significantly lower rates of heart disease and stroke. It's interesting to note that high dietary sodium intake (common in today's modern diet of processed food) has been closely associated with a higher rate of hypertension -- and potassium helps combat that.

8. Walnuts

Like almonds, walnuts are rich in heart-healthy antioxidant vitamin E, potassium, and magnesium, but they really shine thanks to a good dose of omega-3 fatty acids. Just one quarter-cup serving contains nearly 95 percent of your daily dose.

Walnuts lower LDL cholesterol, help regulate blood pressure, and protect against excessive clotting and inflammation. Omega-3 fatty acids are antiatherosclerotic, meaning they help prevent (and may even reverse) atherosclerosis, the progressive thickening and hardening of the artery walls created by fatty deposits. In other words, omega-3 fats are the "good fat" you've heard about, and they're fantastic at fighting deadly atherosclerotic heart disease.

The Best Ways to Lower Cholesterol Without Drugs

Has your cholesterol level risen drastically as you have aged yet you are still desperate to lower cholesterol without drugs? Not only is it possible, it is less expensive to lower your cholesterol without drugs, naturally, that you can assimilate into your life. Before you take drugs to lower your cholesterol levels you must try some or all of the following methods and see if you can keep your numbers low enough to avoid drugs altogether.

Firstly, you must set yourself some achievable goals by understanding cholesterol levels and what they mean. You should be aiming for a total cholesterol level less than 200 mg/dL, LDL less than 130 mg/dL and HDL higher than 40 mg/dL. If your total cholesterol level is higher than 240 mg/dL, LDL higher than 160 mg and HDL below 40 mg/dL you are placing yourself at significant risk for cardiovascular diseases.

Religiously embark a low fat nutritional campaign. In an ideal world, you should not be consuming more than one-third of your diet as fat and even more preferable would be for that fat to come from only vegetables or fish. Stay away from foods that are made up of lots of saturated fats, such as meat, dairy or eggs and trans fats, like in potato chips. Devour as much fruit and veg as you can, within reason. Vegetables and fruits possess significant amounts of fiber and several studies have shown that diets consisting of at least 15 g of soluble fibre can bring reduce your LDL levels cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) by as much as 10 percent.

Try taking multivitamins in addition to your diet as regular intake of multivitamins have been proven to reduce the risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases.

Furthermore, try following a course of supplements. Garlic and others that feature omega-3 fatty acids, which can be found at your local pharmacy or health food store, are great for reducing cholesterol. Don't bother with garlic pills as nowadays they make ones without odour so you won't smell like you're escaping from a vampire movie. Ensure you buy coated supplements as they keep supplements from irritating your stomach as they are absorbed in the small intestine.

All these natural ways to lower cholesterol without drugs will unquestionably work if you can remain well motivated and stick to these methods. Without doubt, your Doctor will prove a terrific source of information about cholesterol.

Most of all, you must eat healthily. There are hundreds of food groups that will raise your cholesterol and some that will make you unhealthy or even sick. Most notably these include processed foods that are very high in saturated fat such as cookies, cakes other similar items as well as packaged meals and meat high in fat. It is essential to stay away from these types of food to naturally lower cholesterol without drugs. You will also want to include foods that positively reduce cholesterol, such as garlic and omega-3 fatty acids which you will find in fish, fish oil and soy. And again I emphasize that you must eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, beans and whole grain foods.

Remember to consult your Doctor before commencing a course of supplements to improve your cholesterol levels.

Physical inactivity is recognized as a risk factor for coronary artery disease. Regular aerobic physical activity increases exercise capacity and plays a role in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The known benefits of regular aerobic exercise and recommendations for implementation of exercise programs are discussed.

Exercise training increases cardiovascular functional capacity and decreases myocardial oxygen demand at any level of physical activity in apparently healthy persons and in most individuals with cardiovascular disease. Regular physical activity is required to maintain these training effects. Myocardial work can be affected by caffeine intake, and caffeine intake has been shown to increase blood pressure response to exercise. The potential risks of physical activity can be reduced by receiving a medical evaluation, risk stratification, supervision, and education.

Exercise can help control blood lipid abnormalities, diabetes, and obesity. In addition, aerobic exercise adds an independent blood pressure–lowering effect in certain hypertensive patient groups, with a decrease of 8-10 mm Hg in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements. A direct relationship exists between physical inactivity and cardiovascular mortality, and physical inactivity is an independent risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease. A dose response relationship exists between the amount of exercise performed (from approximately 700-2000 kcal/wk [2940-8400 kJ/wk] energy expenditure) and all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease mortality in middle-aged and elderly populations.

The greatest potential for reduced mortality is in sedentary persons who become moderately active. Most beneficial effects of physical activity on cardiovascular disease mortality can be attained through moderate-intensity activity (40-60% of maximal VQ, depending on the participant's age). The activity can be accrued through formal training programs or leisure-time physical activities.

Exercise intensity should approximate 40-85% of VO2 reserve (VO2 R) or HR reserve (HRR), as determined by an exercise test. If a test is not performed initially, a reasonable estimate of 20-30 beats per minute (bpm) above HR rest is generally appropriate until testing is performed.

Activities can be prescribed according to the work intensity at which the training HR is achieved after 5-10 minutes at the same workload (steady state). This may be expressed as watts on an ergometer, speed on a treadmill, or METs. If an individual cannot assess intensity, HR counting (manually or with a pulse meter or cardiotachometer) is especially useful. HR counters are widely available and generally accurate for low- to moderate-intensity exercise.

If an individual intends to walk on a level surface, activity can be prescribed as the treadmill step rate that generates the desirable HR. The step rate is the number of steps taken in 15 seconds while walking at the desired speed on the treadmill. Step rate can be counted easily because it requires less skill than counting HR. If this approach is used, caution individuals to avoid hills. Walking in shopping malls or gymnasiums allows individuals to avoid inclement weather and to exercise on a flat surface. Exercise should be supervised for the first few sessions to ensure that instructions are understood and the activity is well tolerated.

Individuals can also judge the intensity of exercise by the RPE, which can be equated with the desired HR during laboratory exercise and activities. RPE values should be rated as follows:

• Less than 12 – Perceived as fairly light (light intensity), 40-60% of HR max • From 12-13 – Perceived as somewhat hard (moderate intensity), 60-75% of HR max • From 14-16 – Perceived as hard (high intensity), 75-90% of HR max

Activities can progress as tolerance is demonstrated. An appropriate initial intensity of training is 60-75% of HR max (moderate) or an RPE of 12-13. However, many individuals may need to begin at 40-60% of HR max (light). After safe activity levels have been established, duration is increased in 5-minute increments each week. Later, with increased strength and as the HR response to exercise decreases with conditioning, intensities can be increased to a frequency of 3-6 times per week. At this point, limited resistive exercises can be added, which have proved both safe and effective in secondary prevention.

This may be expressed as watts on an ergometer, speed on a treadmill, or METs. If an individual cannot assess intensity, HR counting (manually or with a pulse meter or cardiotachometer) is especially useful. HR counters are widely available and generally accurate for low- to moderate-intensity exercise.

If an individual intends to walk on a level surface, activity can be prescribed as the treadmill step rate that generates the desirable HR. The step rate is the number of steps taken in 15 seconds while walking at the desired speed on the treadmill. Step rate can be counted easily because it requires less skill than counting HR. If this approach is used, caution individuals to avoid hills. Walking in shopping malls or gymnasiums allows individuals to avoid inclement weather and to exercise on a flat surface. Exercise should be supervised for the first few sessions to ensure that instructions are understood and the activity is well tolerated.

Individuals can also judge the intensity of exercise by the RPE, which can be equated with the desired HR during laboratory exercise and activities. RPE values should be rated as follows:

• Less than 12 – Perceived as fairly light (light intensity), 40-60% of HR max • From 12-13 – Perceived as somewhat hard (moderate intensity), 60-75% of HR max • From 14-16 – Perceived as hard (high intensity), 75-90% of HR max

Activities can progress as tolerance is demonstrated. An appropriate initial intensity of training is 60-75% of HR max (moderate) or an RPE of 12-13. However, many individuals may need to begin at 40-60% of HR max (light). After safe activity levels have been established, duration is increased in 5-minute increments each week. Later, with increased strength and as the HR response to exercise decreases with conditioning, intensities can be increased to a frequency of 3-6 times per week. At this point, limited resistive exercises can be added, which have proved both safe and effective in secondary prevention.
