How Cardiac Symptoms Are Different for Women
by J Russell Hart
Most people think of heart disease as the list of symptoms they've grown up with, like discomfort in the center of the chest, squeezing in the chest, pressure, fullness, pain that goes away but then comes back. Those are the symptoms of men's heart disease. Symptoms of women's heart disease go barely noticed and it's become the number one killer of women because of that fact. The first difference between men and women is that women don't usually get the chest pain that men do. In fact, lack of pain is the significant difference; one that also has women not bringing up the subject because they only feel a slight discomfort and don't want to be a bother to anyone.

The Therapeutic Benefits Of Garlic For The Heart
by J Russell Hart

Though it is most widely known for its use in cooking, it has also been used in the prevention and treatment of a wide array of health conditions. Both the fresh clove itself and/or supplements created from the clove have been used therapeutically for years. How Garlic Works The garlic herb produces allicin, a natural chemical that gives garlic its smell and is also what is thought to make it work therapeutically for certain health conditions. There are some garlic products that age garlic in order to make it odorless, however, the process of doing so can take away from its overall potency and lessen its therapeutic effects. Many experts recommend the use of garlic supplements with enteric coating because this ensures that the herb is dissolved in the intestine instead of in the stomach.
