DANGERS OF ADDED OIL

STRETCHING AND HEART HEALTH

STRETCHING AND HEART HEALTH

image156

Olive oil is not a whole food, it is a fattening, low-nutrient, processed  food, consisting of 100% fat. One tablespoon of olive oil has 120  calories, as do all oils. One-quarter cup has 500 calories. Healthy  salads are definitely a way of life for people who want to lose weight  or improve health, but many of the benefits of a salad are lost when the  calorie count is increased ten-fold with oil.

People  with stiff arteries often have high blood pressure, high cholesterol,  and/or inflammation.

DEEP BREATHING AND HEART HEALTH

Water makes up about 60 percent of your body weight. Water gets rid of  wastes through urination, perspiration and bowel movements, water keeps  your temperature normal, and water lubricates and cushions your joints.  Water is also critical for your heart health. Your heart is constantly  working, pumping about 2,000 gallons of blood a day. By staying hydrated  – that is, by drinking more water than you are losing – you are helping  your heart do its job.
