The numbers aren’t getting any better… Even with all we know about prevention… Heart disease remains the nation’s #1 leading cause of death. Which is why researchers have been on the hunt for new and different solutions. And recently they found something that was a bit surprising... As it turns out, if you want a healthy heart… You need healthy mucus. Wait, what?!?… Tina, isn’t mucus the stuff that clogs my nose and drives me nuts? Yes, but – There’s also a protective mucosal barrier in your body – specifically your gut – that’s responsible for keeping all parts of you healthy. Basically, your protective gut mucus works like a “bouncer”... It allows the good in and keeps the bad out. Which is great news because if the bad stuff gets out of your gut, it can get into your bloodstream (aka your body’s highway)... From there it can quickly access and wreak havoc on any organ, including your heart. And here’s the thing. Like many things in your body… If you want to maintain a healthy mucus layer, you’ve got to give it a little TLC. |
