Potassium. This nutrient regulates water, but also is needed for the brain to send signals to the heart under changing conditions and demands. When the body's potassium levels get too low, the heart may not be able to keep up the needs of the circulatory system or it may shift into an irregular rythmn.

EFA's are by far the most important for a healthy heart. EFA's contain omega 3 fatty acids which are potent heart protectors and lipid correctors. It is important to know that EFA's DECREASE THE INCIDENCE OF SUDDEN DEATH BY 41% IN HEART PATIENTS! That is more potent than any anti-arrhythmic drug on the market! EFA's lowers LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and may increase HDL (good cholesterol). Keeps blood vessels healthy and flexible; has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties that help protect against heart disease

The nutrients found in apples reduce the bad LDL cholesterol and that's good news for the heart. A number of components in apples, most notably fiber and phytonutrients have been found in studies to lower blood cholesterol and improve bowel function, and may be associated with a reduced risk of ischemic heart disease, stroke, prostate cancer, type II diabetes and asthma. Preliminary research from Finland indicates diets with the highest intake of apple phytonutrients were associated with a 46 percent reduction in the incidence of lung cancer. Findings indicate that two apples a day or 12 ounces of 100% apple juice reduced the damaging effects of the “bad” LDL cholesterol.
