Love Your Heart – Live Your Life
愛您的心臟-讓您活得更好
February is American Heart Month
每年二月是美國的愛護心臟月
By proclamation, President Bush has declared February “American Heart Month” to increase awareness of the fact that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both women and men in the United States, and it is a major cause of disabilities.
美國總統布希已經在文告中宣布：每年二月為美國愛護心臟月，藉此提醒全國人民注意心臟疾病易引起不分男性或女性死亡的事實，它也是引起殘疾的主要原因。
(Heart disease is the 3rd leading cause of death among women aged 25-44, and the 2nd leading cause of death among women aged 45-64, so don’t think it is just a problem for men!)
(心臟疾病是女性25-44歲第三大的死因，45-64歲第二大的死因；所以不要認為它只是發生在男性的問題而已。)
According to the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, Ga., every 26 seconds, an American has a coronary event, and one person dies every minute from such an event.
根據位於美國亞特蘭大的疾病管制中心提供的資訊，每26秒就有一位美國人發生冠狀動脈的心臟意外事件，每1分鐘就有一位死於此疾病。
The chance of developing coronary heart disease can be greatly reduced by controlling the factors that increase risk.
藉著控制「引起冠心疾病的危險因子」可以大大降低冠狀動脈的心臟疾病發生機率。
This month is the perfect time to share Legacy’s heart-friendly products with those for whom you care. It’s also the perfect time to educate people about small changes in their habits that can result in a healthier lifestyle.
這個月是最好的時機讓您所關心的人一起來分享萊科思的「護心產品」。同時，這個月也是最好的時機去教育大家：在生活習慣上做一點小小的改變，就能造就一個更健康的生活型態。
Healthy Life Hints: 健康生活指引：
1. Nutritious Diet 營養飲食
- ·
- · 多食用全穀的食物、堅果、豆類及其他複合的碳水化合物。
- ·
- · 多食用各種多顏色的蔬果，特別是莓果類。
2. i26® and Omega-3 essential fatty acids i26®蛋粉及Ω3必須脂肪酸
We at Legacy for Life strongly suggest that you consume at least two scoops of i26® and two capsules of EICO-BALANCE™ with CoQ10 on a daily basis to help achieve higher levels of heart and overall wellness.
站在萊科思的立場，我們強烈建議：每日至少食用2匙的蛋粉、2粒含CoQ10的Ω3必須脂肪酸EICO平衡軟錠，以確保心臟及整體健康的提升。
- · i26® Clinical Trial i26®蛋粉的臨床試驗
Over 10 years ago, the United States Army, in partnership with Legacy for Life, funded a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial proving that i26® helped maintain healthy cholesterol levels and provided unprecedented natural support for our cardiovascular and circulatory systems (J Med Food 1999 2:51-63).
十多年前，美國陸軍與萊科思公司合作，做了一個用安慰劑做對照組的雙盲實驗，研究結果證實蛋粉能幫助維護健康的膽固醇值，並提供了前所未有的天然方式維護我們的心血管及循環系統(醫療飲食雜誌1999 2:51-63)
- · Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids Ω3必須脂肪酸
These “good” fats have been recognized throughout hundreds of scientific publications for their ability to affect human health, especially when it comes to the heart (Curr Med Chem. 2007 14:2622). Since we need these fatty acids, and our bodies cannot manufacture them on its own, we have to supplement our diets with fish that contain Omega-3 fatty acids. The association of fish - but not flaxseed - derived Omega-3 has been accepted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a qualified health claim.
在數百個科學出版物中，這些好的脂肪被認定為具有幫助人類健康的能力，特別是針對心臟。 (Curr Med Chem。 醫療化學潮流雜誌 2007 14:2622). 既然我們需要這些好的脂肪酸，但我們的身體卻不能製造出它們，所以我們必須補充食用含Ω3脂肪酸的魚。食品與藥物管理局(FDA) 已證實含有Ω3脂肪酸的魚(而非亞麻仁)確實有利於健康的主張。
There are some scientific reports (Curr Atheroscler Rep. 2006 8:76-84) that show that taking Omega-3 fatty acids along with cholesterol-lowering medications (statins) reduces LDL (i.e. “bad” cholesterol) better than using the medications alone. Interestingly, HDL (i.e. “good” cholesterol) increases as well!
有一些科學報告(動脈粥腫硬化潮流雜誌 2006 8:76 - 84)表示：攝取Ω3脂肪酸配合降低膽固醇的藥物 (statins) 比單獨使用降低膽固醇的藥物更可以減少低密度膽固醇(即壞的膽固醇)。 有趣的是，竟然同時也能增加高密度膽固醇(即好的膽固醇)。
So it is recommended that we eat fish two to three times a week to get enough Omega-3 in our diet. However, most Americans do not eat fish this often, resulting in a diet deficient in this essential nutrient. Also, with the possibility of dangerous chemicals contaminating our fish, a high quality, tested fish-oil supplement like Legacy’s EICO-BALANCE™ is a safe and easy alternative.
因此，建議大家飲食上每週吃魚二至三次，以獲得足够的Ω3脂肪酸。 然而，多數美國人經常不吃魚，造成缺少這種必須營養素的飲食。 同時，由於我們的魚可能被危險的化學物品污染，所以像萊科思的EICO平衡軟錠是高品質、且被檢測通過的魚油補充品將會是您安全又容易的選擇。
Two EICO-BALANCE™ soft gels provide 2000mg of purified fish-sourced Omega-3 fatty acids and 10mg of Coenzyme Q10, another ingredient that appears to contribute to cardiac health.
二粒 EICO平衡軟錠的軟膠凝體，提供2000mg由魚取得被純化的Ω3脂肪酸，及10mg對心臟健康有貢獻的輔酵素 Co-Q10。
3. Weight Control 體重控制
Controlling your weight is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your heart and your health. Legacy’s cardio-protective BALANCE for Life Weight Management Plan can help you achieve this goal. Since not all programs work for everyone, our plan offers options.
控制您的體重是保護您的心臟和健康的一個最重要的步驟。萊科思的保護心臟生活平衡控制體重計畫能幫助您達成目標。既然並非所有的計畫都適合每個人，我們的計畫提供您一些選擇機會。
- · TrimBerry Extreme™ 百奇營養果汁
Containing ingredients thought by ancient cultures to help control hunger while providing energy, two tablespoons taken upon awakening may make a major difference in how your clothes fit.
以古老文化所傳承的生活理念，將能控制饑餓又能提供能量的多種莓果做成的百吉果汁，每日早上醒來飲用2匙百吉果汁，將會有意想不到的減重效果。
- · Legacy BALANCE Shake 萊科思平衡飲品
The Legacy BALANCE Shake was formulated to work in conjunction with EICO-BALANCE™. Using these tools together provides the right combination of fats, protein, and carbohydrates for an excellent meal alternative – and it’s faster than fast food.
萊科思平衡飲品與EICO平衡軟錠一起配合使用，能提供優質的脂肪、蛋白質及碳水化合物的好組合，兼具營養又速成的好處，是健康瘦身的最佳餐飲選擇。
4. Get moving! 多運動
The American College of Sports Medicine suggests that all healthy adults aged 18-65 should get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days a week. The renowned Mayo Clinic reports that exercise can help prevent, and even lower, high blood pressure. It also makes a difference in your blood work since regular exercise has been shown to increase your "good" cholesterol (HDL: high-density lipoprotein). HDL appears to help protect the heart. At the same time, being physically active decreases levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL: low-density lipoprotein). When HDL goes up and LDL goes down, the buildup of plaque in your arteries decreases, allowing your blood to flow more smoothly.
美國運動醫學學院建議：18-65歲的健康成年人每週應該運動5天，每次至少要有30分鐘以上中度的運動。很有名的梅爾醫院報告：運動能避免甚至降低高血壓；運動也能增加好的膽固醇 (即高密度膽固醇HDL)，高密度膽固醇能幫助保護心臟；運動還能降低壞的膽固醇 (即低密度膽固醇LDL)。當高密度膽固醇HDL增加、低密度膽固醇LDL降低，血管中的血栓形成就會減少，血流因此更順暢。
Think seriously about getting involved in a regular exercise program at your local gym or fitness center, or get a set of exercise resistance bands and work out in your own home. Legacy offers a great solution in the BALANCE for Life Exercise Pack which features:
請慎重地考慮在您當地的健身房或運動中心參加規律的運動計畫，或在您自家利用一套可產生阻力的橡皮帶建立運動的習慣。萊科思提供了生活平衡的運動器材組合以解決尋求運動工具的問題。它包括：
- · The Legacy BALANCE for Life Instructional DVD and Booklet
- 萊科思生活平衡的指導光碟片及手冊。
- 2 high quality resistance bands
- 兩條高品質的強韌橡皮帶。
- A mesh carrying bag
- 一個網狀袋子
Everything you need to succeed with exercise! Remember, all activity counts, so keep moving!
只有運動才能讓您成功！記住！所有的活動都算，所以請繼續動，運動、活動！
Being dependent on others because you are having heart problems is no fun. I urge you to take control of your life today by following the suggestions outlined above.
如果您一旦有心臟的問題，生活必須依賴他人的協助，那就不好玩了！我鼓勵您從今天開始，採用前面建議的綱要去安排您的健康生活。
From the bottom of my heart, I wish you the best of health!
我由衷祝福您有最佳的健康狀態！
From my heart to yours,
由衷對您的
