Medical authorities estimate that from 15-25% of Americans suffer from high blood pressure or hypertension. Our most conservative figure in this country is already over 25 million persons with hypertension. No single cause for this is proven. It appears that there are numerous types of hypertension, some related to chronic diseases and other patients with causes potentially reversible.

Salt ingestion is well known to be a risk factor in causing high blood pressure. More then four thousand years ago a Chinese by the name of Ch’i Po noted the “If too much salt is used in the food, the pulse hardens.” The average American consumes from 6-13 grams of salt daily. Some in Western countries and many in the Orient use as much as 18-24 grams of salt a day! The incidence of high blood pressure in a population is increased in proportion to the sodium intake of the diet. The Japanese illustrate this, with increasing strokes as their major cause of death.

Sodium chloride, or table salt, is hidden in many foods—soups, canned vegetables, crackers, dried meats. It consists of about 40% sodium and 60% chloride. A teaspoon of salt contains about 2.3 grams of sodium. Your body needs only 220 milligrams (about a 10th of a teaspoon) of sodium a day. Most experts recommend that you consume no more than a teaspoon of salt a day in your diet. Too much salt gets sprinkled on our food, often before even tasting it. Another portion appears in particularly salty types of foods, such as potato chips, salted nuts, and other snack foods. Prepared foods usually have their ingredients listed on the label in order of their proportion. Read the labels carefully; they may even have an analysis of sodium content printed with other nutrient values.

Not only is salt a problem, but other substances, such as baking soda, monosodium glutamate, and other sodium containing food additives will supply hidden forms of dietary salt. First, eliminate all added salt at the table—just remove the salt shaker. Next, cut back on excessively salty foods. These can easily bring down your sodium intake to approximately two grams per day. When you do buy processed foods read the labels. Choose those foods that are lower in sodium. Further restrict sodium by avoiding milk and milk products, even salty vegetables, such as celery, beets, and leafy greens.

T cells, B cells, and white blood cells pretty much have things under control and keep your home secure. But it never hurts to call in reinforcements—specially trained nutrients that have been promoted to the rank of immune booster. The best nutrients for keeping your system secure:

VITAMIN C Take 500 milligrams twice a day every day to boost your immune system (so it can produce more bullets to kill the invaders). You can take it in supplement form, as well as through foods such as oranges and other citrus fruits, 100 percent natural orange juice, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Vitamin C, for all its power to keep your immune system and arteries young, can make you up to one year younger.

YOGURT Yogurt that hasn’t been pasteurized contains Lactobacillus acidophilus—a healthy bacteria that turns milk into yogurt and fights off fungus-related infections. Or you can take acidophilus in supplement form of 20 milligrams twice daily. It works by helping to prevent the overgrowth of fungi that shouldn’t be able to grow in your body. Another great fungicide: garlic.

If you look at the evolutionary anatomy of eyes, you’ll notice some major differences between humans and animals. For one, humans have their eyes set closer together than many other animals, which gives us wonderful depth perception. In exchange, we lose some of the great peripheral vision that protects cows. In a way, that makes us a species with blinders on—because we have binocular vision. The other interesting evolutionary element about our eyes is that little reddish-pink fleshy substance on the inside corner of your eye (it’s called a caruncle, and this is an acceptable word in Scrabble). That’s actually a remnant of the reptilian eye. Because reptiles have to see in fresh water (which can be irritating when it interacts with the salt in our bodies), a clear lid covers their eyes. Since humans don’t need that flap to live in air, we lost it through evolution, and it became the remnant that we have today.
HOW THE EYE WORKS First, let’s dissect your eyeball’s anatomy. To give them their squishy shape, your eyeballs contain a lot of fluid. Without fluid, your eyeballs would collapse—almost like a beach ball without air. The fluid constantly circulates in and out of your eye and is filtered through a meshlike covering, like a window screen. Behind your eyeball, there’s a lot of fat; that’s what pushes your eyes forward.

To see, your eye essentially takes information from outside sources and passes it along to your brain. Information travels through the cornea, the clear covering of the eye, to the iris, which is the colored part of the eye charged with regulating the light that can hit the retina. Behind the iris sits the lens, which is shaped like a camera lens. This remarkable setup not only changes shape to focus light, but filters out some parts of the light spectrum that may be harmful to the eye. The cornea and lens focus light to form an upside-down image on the back of the surface of the eye—your retina. Once it reaches the retina, it’s then sent through the optic nerve and rotated another 180 degrees so your brain can determine what you’re seeing right side up.

The best prescription for your sexual organs isn’t one you can find in a pharmacy. It’s one you do in bed, in the shower, or on your weekend getaway.
All the studies point to the fact that having sex makes you young. (By “having sex,” we mean having stress-free sex, so that’s safe sex, in which you’re protected from STDs, and sex that doesn’t induce stress, like an extramarital affair would.) What we know is that the more (for men) and higher quality (for women) orgasms you have a year, the younger you are. If you are fifty-five years old, increasing the number of times you have sex from 58 times per year to 116 times has an effect of making you as much as 1.6 years younger, and having great quality sex even more than that can have an effect up to 8 years (Honey, let’s get healthy!). Though we don’t know exactly how it works, it could be from relieving stress or by decreasing cardiovascular aging with frequent high-quality sex. Maybe just as important is the therapeutic value of sex, in that it promotes companionship and emotional satisfaction. It just feels good—on both physical and emotional levels. Bonus: The data alsoimplies that if a fifty-five-year-old has sex seven hundred times a year, it would make you sixteen years younger (unfortunately, the data sample on people who fit this criteria was approximately, uh, zero).

Of course, between seventy-hour workweeks and the fact that raising children is as draining as a running a three-legged marathon, having time and energy for sex isn’t always as easy as it sounds. Another complication: those rivaling libido levels. When he wants it, she doesn’t. Or vice versa. Luckily, there are ways to help improve your compatibility.
