Oral chelation with its benefits explained

Heart disease appears as a death signal for many guys but now you may feel safe because our great scientists and doctors strive hard for years to sort out this problem. After a long research they invented heart drugs and bypass surgery which can really bring someone back from hell. All these scientific treatments are very expensive and not within the reach of poor people so for that some natural alternatives were made to get cheap medication.


Oral chelation is a method which utilizes a special nutritional supplement formulation which contains various chelating agents, thereby removing intra-arterial plaguing. Oral chelation is slowing than IV chelation, but is completely safe and has no contraindications. It involves the ingestion of natural chelating substances. Oral EDTA chelation has all the benefits of intravenous (IV) chelation but is much slower acting because only 4% to 18% of an oral EDTA dose is absorbed (compared with 100% of an IV dose). Here are some quick benefits of Oral chelation:



  • Reduces blood pressure and blood cholesterol

  • Helps remove lead and heavy metals from the system

  • Improves skin texture and tone

  • Helps to increase tissue oxygenation

  • Helps to improve conduction in all degrees of A-V heart block

  • Improves circulation

  • Improves liver function


Nowadays many big players are selling Oral chelation products online through their website at affordable rates and some free of cost. Heart patients have no time to choose the alternatives rather than going for surgery and drugs because they are recommended by their doctors. When they have some relief and after 7-8 days rest they may start natural treatment to enjoy lifetime benefits.

NYT: Ability to do Push-ups is good indicator of your overall fitness; they confer substantial health benefits

  This NYT article by the well known health and fitness writer, Tara Parker-Pope, dissects the standard push-up.  Here are some highlights from the article.  Read the article in full here:

  1. The push-up is a good barometer of overall fitness engaging muscle groups in the arms, chest, abdomen, hips and legs.
  2.  The obesity epidemic has made push-ups more difficult to perform for the average American—pushing up all that extra weight is not easy.
  3. The aerobics revolution has shifted emphasis away from maintaining upper body strength, which is not a good thing.
  4. Lots of people can’t do push-ups, including for the reasons listed above.  Kids are failing push-up tests at an alarming frequency rate.
  5. Being able to do push-ups is particularly important as we age as push-ups can provide the strength and muscle memory to reach out and break a fall, and it’s well known that falls can be debilitating for seniors.
  6. People lose strength as they age but regular exercise enlarges muscle fibers and can mitigate the decline.
  7.  A 40 year old man should be able to do 27 push-ups.  At age 60, the number is 17.

While the article focuses on the time honored push-up, it is really another wake up call regarding the importance of exercise in life and particularly as we age.  Let’s face, how many 60 year old men can hit the deck and crack out 17 push-ups?  Staying in shape confers huge health and lifestyle benefits as we age.  Push-ups are a good barometer of your overall fitness and should be part of any training program.
