ViaViente and Your Healthy Heart, by Dr. Gordon Pedersen

ViaViente has been shown to reduce the risk factors related to Heart Disease and Hardening of the Arteries (Atherosclerosis). I know of no product better at reducing the damage from oxidative stress than ViaViente. Taken every day, it works to reduce inflammation and the pain associated with inflammation.

Besides the brain, the cardio system is perhaps the most susceptible to the damage caused by oxidative stress. ViaViente contains Anti-Oxidants that reduce inflammation and promote a healthy circulatory system. It does this by reducing platelet aggregation, strengthening vascular membranes, and safeguarding against cellular destruction.

ViaViente is a Whole Food Puree containing the following: Grape, Apple, Noni, Blueberry, Cranberry, Elderberry, Bilberry, Lycium, Pomegranate, Prune, Chinese Skullcap Root, Gentain Root, Aloe Vera and Mineral Water. The Fruits, Roots and Minerals in ViaViente strengthen capillary walls, microcapillaries, and keep larger vessels flexible and clear. The metabolic infrastructure is maintained at the highest level, capillary resistance is improved and leakage reduced.

Flavonoids in the botanicals reduce the risk of atherosclerosis – or hardening of the arteries – which is the plaque buildup in arteries that can lead to heart attack or stroke. These Anti-Oxidants protect against the damage caused by LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and reduce the risk factors from heart disease that lead to death.

Women have unique cardiovascular risk factors, especially menopausal and post-menopausal women. The fruits and roots in ViaViente take these special nutritional needs into account. Prune anthocyanins promote healthy cholesterol levels, particularly HDL (good) cholesterol.

The lack of estrogen often triggers an increase in blood cholesterol and lipid levels. Prune nectar which is rich in dietary fiber and Anti-Oxidants has been shown to be very effective in maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system, especially for those who choose not to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Inflammation is moving to the forefront as a risk factor in heart disease. It is especially damaging to collagen and connective tissues because, over time, tissues begin to scar and become less elastic. Blood vessels in these tissues become inflexible allowing blood to leak into surrounding tissues. As this vicious cycle continues, the tissues lose much of their functionality.

The anthocyanins in ViaViente protect against this damage in several ways. First, they neutralize enzymes that destroy connective tissue. Second, their Anti-Oxidant capacity prevents oxidants from damaging connective tissue. Finally, they repair damaged proteins in the blood-vessel walls.
Anthocyanins’ ability to check oxidative stress makes them powerful atherosclerosis fighters. They prevent oxidation of low-density lipoproteins (LDL), increase reverse cholesterol transport and decrease total and LDL cholesterol.

They also protect endothelial cells that line blood-vessel walls. When these cells are damaged atherosclerotic plaques form. Elderberry has been found to be helpful in minimizing endothelial cell damage and dilating coronary blood vessels to maintain healthy blood flow.

OPCs also block the progress of atherosclerosis. Their importance in our diets is becoming clear as we are learning how arteries become “hardened.” It is clear now that oxidized LDL is the source of inflammation, thickening of the arteries and clotting mechanisms, all of which lead to heart disease.

OPCs inhibit platelet aggregation four times better than aspirin in smokers. Further, OPCs can prevent damage caused by atherosclerosis and unhealthy lifestyles.

The OPCs in red wine may help explain the “French Paradox” or why low coronary heart disease rates exist in French provinces known for high-fat foods and red wine consumption. Red wine contains resveratrol and other polyphenols. OPCs prevent damage from blood clots, or ischemic reperfusion injury, as well as from venous insufficiency.

All told, the jury on the cardio protective benefits of ViaViente is in. I recommend you take a healthy dose each day.
