(Part 2)

Blood is essential to the human body; it circulates round the body delivering oxygen, food, hormones, and other essential substances, also extracting carbon dioxide and other waste products.

It consists of a colorless liquid called plasma in which floats red cells, white cells, very small cells and water. The plasma is a vehicle for the transport of the body's important fuels such as glucose and basic fats. Other substances that are carried in the plasma include iron, which is essential for the formation of the oxygen-carrying pigment hemoglobin, and a number of important hormones. Plasma therefore consists of a water solution of minerals, food and small amounts of essential compounds such as hormones, plus one other essential component - protein, that makes up a major part.

It emphasizes the importance of "Blood Viscosity" in the human body and is similar to the quality of car engine oil. When the oil quality of a car engine is good, the pistons will perform smoothly without much stress. Similarly, when the "Blood Viscosity" is normal, the heart will not be under stress.

However, when the blood viscosity is "thicker" than normal, not only will it carry less oxygen but the heart will have to pump much harder in order to circulate the blood round the whole system, thereby stressing the heart.

When the blood viscosity is "thinner" than normal, it carries less oxygen content. Under both conditions, one will tire easily.

Vulnerable to become diabetic if one consumes excessive sugary food.

Vulnerable to developing high blood pressure (hypertension), if one consumes excessive salty food.

The heart will be stressed because it will have to pump harder to circulate the blood.

The bone's marrow will produce "new healthy blood cells".

The new blood cells will gradually regulate the blood within the system, that is, return the blood viscosity to normal either from thicker or thinner conditions.

Dry roast the black beans for 10 minutes over low heat (do not burn the beans). 

Put cleaned fish, roasted beans, sliced ginger and 4.5 litres of water into a big saucepan.

Boil for two and a half hours (initially high heat for about 30 minutes then followed by medium heat).

Note: Separating the fish meat from the bones after 30 minutes of boiling will result in a better taste.

Drinking fresh Guava Juice on a regular basis, say once a week will help to reduce cholesterol level.

Natural light yellow colored oil extract from cod fishes liver.

Taking cod-liver oil or other sources of omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA on a daily basis will help to maintain healthy cell functions particularly for the heart and brain cells.

Always follow the manufacturer's recommendation and do not take more than the recommended does, as this may lead to a build-up of an excess of vitamin A and vitamin D. If you feel you need to take more EPA and DHA, then look for another product that could provide a higher amount in the recommended dosage.

Insufficient Vitamin D in a child will lead to improper growth, hardening of bones, failure of mineralization within growing cartilage at the ends of bone and the weak new bones are prone to deformity, a condition called rickets.

In adults, inadequate mineralization causes weak bones and the condition is called osteomalacia.

Insufficient sunlight will prevent conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol in the skin to Vitamin D.

For those suffering from such symptom, a doctor normally prescribes drugs to either slow down the heart-beat or thin the blood but with some side effects as consequences:

Reduction in circulation of blood would cause coldness in limbs.

The following natural herb remedies will help to reverse the narrowing of the arteries without side effects.

Put 1.5 litre of water and herbs in a saucepan, boil for 45 minutes on medium to low heat, remain two bowls to drink. (enough for two person)

Once every three days for six times (if blood pressure is really high), monitor blood pressure on frequent basis to see the result. When blood pressure has dropped to an acceptable level, one could continue to consume the dosage at an interval of say once a months, merely to maintain a healthy condition.

One should avoid eating excessive rich foods that are high in protein sugar and cholesterol content. Eating a mixture of fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and white meat will help to create a less stressful situation for the physical system.

Drinking cranberry juice periodically will help to cleanse the kidney system. The kidney organs help to filter liquid waste products that are passed in the form of urine down the tubes to the bladder. Drinking plenty of plain water on a regular basis (minimum of 3 litres per day) will also help to maintain a clean healthy system.

Taking natural herbs to regulate the balance of hormones without side effects.
