American Heart Association Recommendations

Tampa cardiovascular associates tampa florida

Tampa cardiovascular associates tampa floridaLifestyle has a huge effect on your health and wellbeing.

This is especially true for your heart and cardiovascular health. Change isn’t as drastic or as hard as you might think. Just a few small habitual adjustments and you could alter your health now as well as into the future.

Tips for a healthier heart

  • Base your caloric intake on your body, not the recommendations on the labels of 2000 calories a day. That’s an average. Your needs may be higher or lower depending on body size, composition, and goals.
  • Aim for 150 minutes of cardiovascular activity a week. This can be spread out throughout the entire week if need be.
  • Limit saturated fats and trans fats.
  • Eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, fish and chicken, legumes and nuts, and stick with vegetable oils.
  • Eat less nutrient poor foods (processed, packaged, chemical laden)
  • Eat a variety of fish at least 2x a week.
  • Choose low sodium options and switch from table salt to pink salt.
  • Drink alcohol only in moderation. No more than 2 drinks per day as a man and 1 drink per day for women.
  • Live a tobacco free lifestyle. This includes vaping.
  • Avoid second hand smoke.
  • Reduce stress as much as you can.
  • Get regular checkups with your physician.
  • Control your blood pressure. Check it often and if it consistently comes in high, ask for help.

Vein Treatments Can Restore Your Leg Health

West Florida Vein center safety harbor tampa floridaBeautiful Legs Can Be Yours Again!

As we begin to age, small issues begin to surface. It is important to listen to your body. Varicose veins are a symptom of Vein Disease.

One of the most common issues in aging is the weakening of the body as a whole. As muscle mass can begin to soften and decline the support around the vein walls in your circulatory system may begin to weaken as well.

What happens when Varicose Veins Form?

When vein walls weaken, they can actually collapse. This collapse can lead to blood pooling and pushing on the walls causing them to expand. Blood can rise to the surface causing patches of reddened skin and over time ulcerations. Blood may also begin to clot. If a clot forms and then breaks loose it may travel through the circulatory system, if it reaches the brain, the heart, or the lungs, you may end up experiencing a stroke, a heart attack, a pulmonary embolism, or possibly death.

This is why paying attention to your vein health is so important. The best time to seek the help of a professional Vein Specialist is as soon as you begin to notice signs and symptoms of varicose or spider veins. This also includes extremely tired and possibly swollen legs, ankles, and feet at the end of a long day. Vein issues often start well under the visible layer of skin and eventually rise up over time.

Modern vein treatments cut off the issue at the source. While they do not guarantee that no new issues will ever form, they do stop current problems from spreading, deepening, and becoming a far bigger more painful problem down the road.

At West Florida Vein Center of Safety Harbor Florida in the Tampa Bay region you will sit down, one-on-one with Dr. Mark Zuzga, D.O. who will assess your personal health situation and history building a customized vein treatment plan just for you.

If you are ready to “re-age” your legs and feel better than you ever have, give us a call at 727-712-3233 or visit us on the web at www.westfloridaveincenter.com to learn more about our practice and what options we offer.

Ready to Feel Better – Call Kaster Chiropractic

Dr. Kaster Kaster Chiropractic fort myers

Chiropractic. It’s ALL Connected!

Dr. Kaster Kaster Chiropractic fort myersThe human body is an amazing and complicated machine. We take for granted the movements, range of motion, and strength we have because we are so used to what our bodies can do. We notice most when something hurts, becomes strained, or injured.

You may experience trauma or just sleep wrong one night and suddenly your neck or back hurts. You may feel a pulling sensation from one part of your body to another. For example, if you wake up with a headache and your neck hurts, it could be your neck, but it also could be your shoulders, back, hips, knees, or even all the way down to your ankles.

One misalignment, much like on your car and it can pull your whole alignment of the body out of whack. This is where chiropractic comes in. A gentle reset by readjusting the skeletal frame in its entirety and it will allow your body to heal by also realigning your musculature, ligaments, and tendons. When we are out of alignment, in the state of subluxations, pulling occurs. It can make you achy, sore, and even further injure the body through overcompensation over time.

Visiting your chiropractor regularly even when you feel ok is the key to keeping yourself well. An ounce of cure is worth a pound of prevention after all. It is less staining, time-consuming, and expensive in the long run to take care of yourself rather than having to seek out treatment when you present with pain or other symptoms.

At the Fort Myers Office of Kaster Chiropractic and Associates here in Florida, we enjoy building a lasting relationship with our patients. That way if you do experience a health emergency you don’t have to search hoping to find a good physician who is qualified, talented, and really cares.

Give us a call to schedule today. 239-332-2555. Visit www.kasterchiropractic.com to learn more about our services and our practice.

Anti-Aging Cutting Edge Biologic Technology in Just 3 Products?

renovovita celluar health

renovovita celluar healthIf you are like most Americans, you have a cabinet full of beauty and health products. Vitamins, creams, lotions, potions, you name it we have all tried it. We all want the same thing – to feel good and look great, now.

We aren’t patient and we want what we want when we want it.

The problem has been that most of these products have come attached to empty promises and unfulfilled hopes. This leaves us with drawers and cabinets full of half used containers that add up to a small fortune you could have used for something else.

Anti-aging, up till recent years, has been the holy grail of not only the beauty industry but the health industry as well. You can moisturize and eat a well-balanced diet till the cows come home but unless you are feeding your body what it truly desires on a cellular base level, it’s still an uphill battle.

We not only saw this need but felt it well up within ourselves in the desire to create this amazing youth rejuvenating product line we aptly named RenovoVita (Renewal of Life). We worked with top scientists to create our proprietary blends that you cannot find anywhere else. These are products we use daily ourselves and stand strong as living testimonials to how well they work and just how much they have helped us maintain active healthy lifestyles all while remaining youthful in appearance, in spirit, and in how we feel in our bodies on a daily basis.

We have perfected the trifecta!

SKIN: Virg-N Youth Activation Serum – Stimulates brain cells and fires dormant neurons, enhancing blood flow, delivering nutrients, creating new pathways, and forming a protective barrier against physical and chemical damage. This increases cognitive response, calculation, artistic creation, reasoning, motor skills, and memory.

BRAIN: Zero-N Brain Health Formula – Stimulates brain cells and fires dormant neurons, enhancing blood flow, delivering nutrients, creating new pathways, and forming a protective barrier against physical and chemical damage. This increases cognitive response, calculation, artistic creation, reasoning, motor skills, and memory.

BODY: With-N Cellular Renewal Activation Supplement – A complex formulation which utilizes Harvard-tested breakthrough technology. No other combination of co-factors boosts natural NAD+ levels to this degree. We’ve also included vitamins and minerals that every cell in your body requires to replicate and build a healthy immune system.

What we all want is to live a long, healthy, vibrant life, but the vast majority don’t even realize they have a choice. With RenovoVita – The dream is now a reality. Visit www.Renovovita.com to learn more and start your anti-aging journey today.
