When you’ve been diagnosed with heart disease, you may instantly feel completely alone. The feeling is, of course, totally illogical when you consider that heart disease is the most common health ailment among women. So while you’re hardly alone, sometimes it is hard to be completely logical when you are going through a major life change. In August 2009, a study published by the American Psychosomatic Society found that there was a direct correlation between loneliness and coronary heart disease, which can mean that women with existing heart disease could be at increased risk of future heart-related complications, along with depression and anxiety. Your world has been completely turned upside-down and you are suddenly juggling multiple prescription medications, dietary restrictions and extreme fatigue, and it may feel like there is no one out there who truly understands you anymore. We need more coverage of this gave problem! Here is what I found, most of all this is what I did to help myself in getting on the right Heart Disease Supplement. This is the coverage on heart disease among women. It isn’t as much as you might think

Growing evidence suggests that physical activity, healthy diets, and social engagement may promote cognitive health. Popular media helps establish the public health agenda. In this study, we describe articles about cognitive health in top-circulating women’s and men’s magazines.

We need to identify articles on cognitive health, so we manually searched all pages of 4 top-circulating women’s magazines and 4 top-circulating men’s magazines published in 2006 and 2007 to identify articles on cognitive health. We examined article volume, narrative and illustrative content, information sources, and contact resources.

Results
Women’s magazines had 27 cognitive health articles (5.32/1,000 pages), and men’s magazines had 26 (5.26/1,000 pages). Diet was the primary focus (>75% of content) in 30% of articles in women’s magazines and 27% of men’s magazines. Vitamins/supplements were the focus of 15% of articles in men’s magazines and 11% in women’s magazines. Articles mentioned physical activity, cognitive activity, and social interaction, although these subjects were rarely the focus. Articles focused more on prevention than treatment. Topics were primarily “staying sharp,” memory, and Alzheimer’s disease. Colleges/universities were most often cited as sources; contacts for further information were rare. Most articles were illustrated.

Although the volume of cognitive health articles was similar in the magazines, content differed. More articles in men’s magazines discussed multiple chronic conditions (eg, Alzheimer’s disease), whereas more in women’s magazines discussed memory. Including more articles that focus on physical activity and direct readers to credible resources could enhance the quality of cognitive health communication in the popular media. We need to all get on the same page!

So what do we do about this? I have found the greatest heart health supplement bar none in Proargi9 plus from Synergy. It is so good that some insurances are even covering the cost to $150 per month. Insurance companies know that pervention is less expencive than treatment. The science behind this heart attack treatment enven won the Nobel Prize in 1998. So proargi9 with the right diet and a good amount of walking each day really can make all the diferance. Be well and Be happy!
