24 March 2011 UK Edition Dear Reader, Your doctor is a little concerned. He wants to cut your risk of heart disease - let's say through lowering your cholesterol. So he writes a prescription for a statin drug. Sure, it might lower your cholesterol - but at what cost? Why go for the dangerous drugs when there's a MUCH safer and MUCH easier way to lower your risk of heart disease. And I'm not just talking about a small reduction in risk, either. People who followed this method for a study published in the European Heart Journal had a whopping 22 per cent lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who didn't. It might take a little adjustment to your daily routine, but if you ask me a 22 per cent reduction in your risk of dying from heart disease is well worth it. And did I mention this method is, well, pretty tasty? I know, you just want to know what it is already. Well, this simple, cheap, and effective way of lowering your risk of heart disease is simply... Eating eight portions of fruit and vegetables a day. That's right. No tricks, no supplements - just delicious food. (And by the way, a portion is 80 g - think a small banana or a medium-sized apple.) The 22 per cent risk reduction was as compared to people who ate only three portions a day. Yes, it really is that easy - a few extra servings of fruits and vegetables a day and you'll be dramatically cutting heart disease risk. And just think of all the other benefits in those foods - the vitamins, the fibre - it really is a no-brainer. For the study, 313,074 men and women were followed for over eight years. The research team isn't exactly sure what it is about eating eight portions of fruits and vegetables per day that offers so much heart protection. It may have something to do with antioxidants - scientists think they may reduce atherosclerosis caused by oxidative damage. They do say that antioxidant supplements don't seem to have the same effect as increasing fruit and vegetable intake because there are other heart-healthy components in fruits and vegetables. Only 18 per cent of the participants in the study ate enough produce to get the major reduction in heart disease risk. So, are you up to it? Are you ready to join that 18 per cent? Continues below...

Does that include the uterus? Dr. Jonathan V. Wright: For those readers that may not be familiar with it, prolapse occurs when an organ slips out of place within the body. The use of astragalus for organ prolapse comes from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In TCM, astragalus is used for a variety of prolapse syndromes, including a prolapsed uterus. For this application, the root is taken by decoction (simmering in hot water) and the typical dose is between 10 to 30 grams per day.
