Human Hearts Can Regrow Some Muscle Cells After Severe Damage

Heart attacks occur every 40 seconds in America, affecting a total of 805,000 people annually. It is characterized by blocked coronary arteries that starve cardiac muscle of blood flow

Australian researchers found human hearts can regenerate muscle cells after heart attacks, with preserved cardiac tissue showing 7% to 8% mitosis rates (a measure of cell regeneration activity), though 25% to 50% is needed for full repair

Hypoxia, which is the oxygen-deprived state during heart attacks, may also trigger regeneration, similar to how fetal hearts produce new cells in the low-oxygen womb environment

Advanced heart failure reduces heart muscle cell renewal dramatically, but patients with mechanical heart pumps showed regeneration rates of 3.1% annually — six times higher than healthy hearts

Prevention remains crucial. Strategies such as minimizing linoleic acid consumption, monitoring body fat percentage, engaging in moderate resistance training, and learning to recognize heart attack warning signs increase outcomes

What is a Nutritarian?

I've always been a fan of building health with the right nutritious foods and then supplement to complete what was needed. I like Dr. Fuhrman's statement that if people are falling off a cliff, you don't park an ambulance at the bottom of the hill, you build a fence at the top so people are falling. If you're healthy, you won't fall off that cliff.

Here is a new name, that I like, call Nutritarian. What does it mean"

“A Nutritarian refers to someone who follows the Nutritarian diet, an eating approach developed by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.

What it means.

A Nutritarian focuses on maximizing nutrients per calorie. The idea is to eat foods that are very rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber—while minimizing empty calories.

Core principle

Fuhrman summarizes it with a simple formula:

Health = Nutrients / Calories (H = N/C)

What Nutritarians typically eat

* Lots of vegetables (especially leafy greens)
* Fruits
* Beans and legumes
* Nuts and seeds
* Whole grains (in moderation)

What they limit or avoid

* Processed foods
* Added sugars
* Refined grains
* Excess salt
* Animal products (many Nutritarians eat very little or none)

Goal

The aim is to:

* Improve overall health
* Support weight loss
* Reduce risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and Type 2 diabetes

In short, a Nutritarian isn’t just “healthy eating”—it’s a very nutrient-dense, plant-heavy way of eating focused on long-term health and disease prevention.”

Anxiety & Stress

What is anxiety?

Definition: a feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome

There is much that can be done about anxiety by handling nutritional deficiencies. Stress can rob your body of essential vitamins. We always recommend you take the approach of building health.
