IMAGINE spending 10, 20, or 30 years with someone and having a heart attack rob him from you in a matter of minutes. To prevent heart attacks from destroying more lives, here are the two most important things to do:

■ Be alert in recognising the symptoms of a heart attack and get to the hospital immediately.

■ Prevent a heart attack from happening than battling one because you may not win.

Fifty percent of heart attack patients need not die had they known about heart attack symptoms and got help early (within an hour of symptoms appearing). Most people get to the hospital in an average six hours later, by which time it is too late. The symptoms of a heart attack can start off appearing mild – feeling generally unwell, chest or tummy discomfort, jaw pain (like a toothache), breathing difficulties, or dizziness. These are not signs to be ignored, especially if you are already in a high risk group – overweight, taking medication for high blood pressure or high cholesterol, smoking, have parents or siblings with heart disease, etc.

Don’t feel embarrassed to ask for help as time is of the essence. You may not have a chance to be embarrassed if you are dead. Many, many lives can be saved with calm and quick action. Stories of people living alone raising the alarm and then throwing their house keys out the window so help can get in are not unheard of – these are the survivors.

Most of us aren’t ready to say goodbye to our loved ones. Well, having the currency to buy time may be just what you need. Time Currency = Knowledge + Action. A heart attack does not just happen overnight. Over a period of years, the heart and blood vessels would have been under some common stress factors. By knowing what these stress factors are and taking preventive action, it is possible to prevent heart attacks from happening.

Cholesterol – High cholesterol levels are one of the stress factors promoting heart attacks. Fatty cholesterol is prone to attaching itself to the blood vessel walls, thereby causing a blockage. It is therefore important to keep healthy cholesterol levels at all times.

The American Heart Association (AHA) advises the consumption of 2-3g of omega-3 fatty acids daily to maintain good heart health. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish oils where its components – EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) – are found to be able to help lower cholesterol levels.

Those who are unable to eat fish daily or for those who don’t even like eating fish, taking fish oil supplements with high omega-3 strengths of at least 500mg EPA and DHA are an easy and efficient way of getting sufficient heart healthy omega-3 oils.

The AHA recommends consumption of at least 6g of omega-3 daily to control cholesterol levels.

Kordel’s recommends: 6 capsules daily of Kordel’s Hi-Omega to achieve the 6 grams Omega-3 recommended by the  American Heart Association.

 Blood pressure – High blood pressure or hypertension results when blood vessels harden due to the process of arteriosclerosis. High blood pressure requires the heart to work harder, damages other organs, and greatly increases the risk of a heart attack. It is therefore necessary to keep healthy blood pressure levels.

Recently, a breakthrough Japanese ingredient called bonito fish protein (or also known as katsuobushi oligopeptide) has been found in well established clinical studies to be able to lower hypertensive blood pressure. The Japanese have been using dried bonito in their cuisine for over 1,500 years. A special trademark process has now yielded bonito fish protein. The added advantage of bonito fish protein is that it is free of side-effects familiar to patients under certain hypertensive medication – irritating dry cough, dizziness. Because anti-hypertensive medication is often life-long, it is important to be take a remedy that is comfortable to the patient to encourage long-term compliance.

Kordel’s recommends: 4 capsules daily of Kordel’s BPGard <new> which provides 1.5 grams of the Katsuobushi Oligopeptide (Bonito Fish Protein Powder) to control High Blood Pressure.

Circulation – Keeping a healthy blood circulation ensures that blood reaches the heart consistently. Ginkgo biloba is a well known herb used in many countries as an aid to improving blood circulation. With so many ginkgo biloba products in the market, it takes a trained eye to able to recognise a product that works, these being standardised extracts.

Clinical trials shows that consuming three capsules of standardised extracts of ginkgo biloba 2500 delivers benefits. Look out for the words – standardised actives containing 24% flavonglycosides and 6% ginkgolides and bilobalides.

Kordel’s recommends: Kordel’s Gingko Biloba 2500mg 1 vegicaps daily to improve blood circulation.

Lifestyle – Positive lifestyle changes can also make a big difference. In 2007, a study reported in The American Journal of Medicine found that by adopting four essential lifestyle behaviours, it is possible to reduce heart disease-related deaths by 40%. These include eating a healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, maintaining a healthy body mass index (BMI), exercising regularly, and being smoke-free.

By being alert and taking preventive actions, we can actually buy time either for ourselves or our loved ones, so that years of love and togetherness need not end with a one-minute farewell.

Kordel’s Hi-Omega fish oil is provides HIGHER OMEGA-3 than most fish oil brands. Each capsules of Kordel’s Hi-Omega Fish Oil 1000mg provides 500mg of OMEGA-3.

Most brands in malaysia only provides fish oils 1000mg provides only  300mg of Omega-3.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia recorded its highest number of influenza A(H1N1) cases in a day with 569 infections.

There was also one death, bringing the total number of fatalities to 68.

Health Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said this indicated that the number of detected cases was still on the rise.

“That’s why our surveillance teams are working hard to detect areas that are persistent in local transmission so we can take measures to cut down on it,” he told reporters on Thursday after attending a campaign on prevention and treating A(H1N1).

It is important to know the difference between common cold and Influenza H1N1.

The only treatment available now is Tamiflu, that prevents the replication of the H1N1 virus.

Alternatively, it is suggested that one should boost their immune system. This can be done by taking supplements with well-researched data that supports its effectiveness in boosting the immune system.

The recommended supplements at this critical moments are:

1) Kordel’s Ester-C 1000mg (Adults) or 500mg (Children below 12 years)

- Kordel’s Ester-C has been clinically proven:

a) Increased the activity of White Blood Cells – that are soldiers that ‘eats up’ invading virus/bacteria preventing it from causing harm to the body.

b) Retained in the body for 24 hours! This is important as you do not know when you are exposed to the H1N1 virus.

2) Kordel’s Manuka Honey with UMF 10+

- Lots of clinical research that uses Manuka Honey shows that Manuka Honey with UMF 10+ are capable of killing virus/bacteria that resides in the throat.

- This is an important discovery, as the throat and nose is the ‘point of entry’ for the H1N1 viruses. Having a defence like Kordel’s Manuka Honey with UMF 10+ kills the virus at the ‘point of entry’.

- Recommended dosage: 1 tablespoon daily with a glass of warm water.

3) Kordel’s C-Time 1000mg

- A good choice for individuals with ‘gastric problems’. Kordel’s acid free vitamin C boost the immune system, without irritating the stomach.

We hope that the threat of Influenza H1N1 will soon be gone.

What’s Wrong with Our Diet Today?

 As a nation who loves to eat, we simply consume far too much of Omega 6 fatty acids (vegetable oils) compared to Omega 3 fatty acids (marine oils).Just think about it – 99% of our food today is cooked with Omega 6 vegetable oils (peanut, sunflower, maize etc).Compared to our ancestors millenniums back who were taking roughly equal amounts of Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids (in the ratio of 1:1), our diet today comprises overly high amounts of Omega-6 fatty acids (about ratio of 30:1). This “oily” imbalance is believed to be the cause of an increasing trend in heart disease amongst other degenerative diseases linked to the diet[i].

 Major clinical trials have shown that simply by altering our diets to correct the omega imbalance, many beneficial results can be seen in those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) as well as in healthy individuals [ii].The easiest way to do this is simply by consuming more Omega 3 fatty acids from the diet.

How does Omega 3 help prevent Heart Disease?

According to data released from the World Health Organisation (WHO), cardiovascular disease (principally heart disease and stroke) is the leading cause of death worldwide today. Omega 3 fatty acids contain the components EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) found majorly in fish.

EPA is the heart-friendly component of fish oil while DHA plays a role in improving brain function.

Omega 3 fatty acids work in various ways to protect from heart disease.

a)      Thins the blood, making it less sticky so blood flows easily throughout the body[i]

b)      Lower levels of harmful fats in the body – Triglycerides and Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL)[ii] while raising levels of the heart-protective fats – High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) [iii]

c)       Stabilise heart muscles prone to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) [iv]

d)      Reduce inflammation and vasoconstriction, factors which promote plaque formation in the arteries potentially leading to a blockage.[v]

 Interesting facts: Eating Fish & A Healthy Heart: The Findings

Fact 1: Men who ate at least some fish weekly had a far lower risk of dying from coronary heart disease (CHD) compared to those who ate none.[i]  [ii]

Fact 2: A 30-year follow-up of the Chicago Western Electric Study More reported that those who eat fish lived longer following CHD.[iii]

Fact 3: Across 36 countries fish consumption was associated with a reduced risk of heart attacks, and stroke mortality.[iv]

“Problem getting enough fish?”

 Malaysians simply do not eat enough of oily fishes (found in the cold deep sea) which are high in Omega 3 fatty acids. The fear of heavy metal contamination when eating fresh fish also poses a problem. For these reasons, taking fish oil supplements is now an easy and safe solution in the quest to balance the Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio towards a healthier heart, a healthier you.

EVERYONE wants to be smarter, think faster, and remember more of what they have read. Students are expected to score more ‘A’s in the public examinations. The quest for ‘super memory’ is more important in the information age than before.

This has led scientist and researchers to understand how the brain works and what the brain needs to function at the optimal level. It is not until the last few years that scientists has discovered that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) plays an important role in brain health.

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and its role in brain development

Researchers confirm that DHA is the most common fatty acid in the human brain. In fact, DHA constitutes 15% of all brain fatty acids, making it one of the most essential fatty acids the brain needs for proper brain functioning like thinking, talking, memory etc.

DHA plays a pivotal role in the structure and proper functioning of brain cell membranes and cell signalling. DHA deficiency in the brain tissue can result in functional disturbances and delayed brain development.

Common source of DHA

The most common source of DHA is from oily fish such as salmon or tuna. Whilst it boosts higher DHA contents, several researchers show that the DHA are unable to be delivered effectively to the brain where it is needed most.

The BETTER source of DHA – Krill Oil

Unlike fish oils, Krill oil’s DHA are in the form of phospholipids or little packages that delivers the DHA directly to the brain cells. This makes Krill oil a ‘better choice’ of DHA supplement compared to conventional fish oils.

 What is Krill Oil phospholipid?

Phopholipids are building blocks for your cell membranes. This membrane controls what goes-in and goes-out the cells, much like a ‘gate-keeper’. The phospholipids in krill oil, ensures that the gate is opened allowing the DHA to be delivered more effectively to the brain.

What is krill?

Krill are tiny shrimp-like crustaceans that feeds on phytoplanktons found in the pristine Antarctic Ocean. Krill are near the bottom of the food chain and are a major food source for whales, seals and fish. As it is at the bottom of the food chain, it is one of the cleanest and safest omega-3 (DHA) oil available in pharmacy today.

What are the other advantages of Krill Oil over fish oil as a source of DHA?

1)      Less DHA required to boost brain function

The delivery of krill oil, DHA to the brain cells is superb and therefore only 500mg of krill oil is required for children below 12 years and for adults 1000mg of krill oil is required to boost brain function.

2)      Presence of ‘Choline’ essential for learning and memory

The other advantage of Krill Oil, DHA is that the predominant phospholipids is phophatidylcholine, which is partly composed of choline.

Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of choline in brain development, learning and memory. In fact, choline is particularly important for foetal and infant brain development in pregnant and nursing women.

3)      Powerful antioxidant – Unique red oil of Krill oil

Krill oil is red in colour and can be easily distinguished from fish oils. The ‘red’ colour of krill oil is the powerful natural antioxidant, astaxanthin. Astaxanthin free-radical quenching abilities is 302 times more powerful than Vitamin A and E; 34 times more that Co- enzyme Q10 and 7.5 times more than seaweed astaxanthin.

4)      Safe – Free from heavy metal contamination

Krill is a small shrimp-like crustacean that feed on planktons. It is harvested from the Antarctic Ocean free from pollution and heavy metals. This makes krill oil a safe alternative source of Omega-3.

Krill oil is sold in Malaysia under the Kordel’s brand, Kordel’s Krill-Xanthin.

It is available now at all pharmacies…. Guardian and Caring Pharmacy nationwide.
