Excerpt from: New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way, Alternative Approaches for Women 30-90 by Susun S. Weed”Open your heart to me, my own,” whispers Grandmother Growth so softly you aren’t certain you hear her. “Open the wisdom way of compassion here in your heart and draw me inside. Let Grandmother Growth be inside you, helping you encompass the whole, in the beat of your own heart, my heart, Crone’s heart.”
Step 0: Do Nothing
Thinking of taking hormone replacement to keep your heart healthy? Think again. Data released in April of the year 2000, from the federal government’s Women’s Health Initiative, showed “a small increase in the number of heart attacks, strokes and blood clots in the lungs of women on hormone replacement compared with women on placebo.” The Heart and Estrogen/Progestin Replacement Study (HERS), completed in 1998, found the same connection. For a healthy heart, don’t take hormones.
“Recently released data from the federal government’s Women’s Health Initiative suggests that during the first two years of postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy there is a slightly greater risk of heart attack, stroke and blood clots.”
Heart disease is America’s top killer (claiming a life every 34 seconds). Women aged 30-50 have far less risk of heart disease than a man their age. But postmenopausal women die from heart disease at rates as high as men’s. (Women account for 51 percent of all cardiovascular deaths; men, 49 percent.) Is it lack of estrogen?
No. Estrogen does lower LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol, but cholesterol is only weakly linked to heart disease, especially in women. (Most heart attacks happen to people with normal cholesterol levels.)
Estrogen raises blood pressure (one of the top three reasons for heart attacks in women), increases triglycerides, promotes clotting (a leading factor in heart attacks and strokes), and raises levels of C-reactive protein (a marker for inflammation associated with heart disease). Take progestins/progesterone too and you increase your risk of heart disease even more. Hormone replacement really isn’t heart healthy.
Aren’t there studies linking estrogen usage to lowered risk of heart disease? Only retrospective ones, which cannot establish a cause-and-effect link. And the women in those studies ate well, exercised regularly, and were unlikely to smoke – behaviors that are critical to heart health. The simple truth is more than 90 percent of all heart disease is preventable with lifestyle choices.
The three top risk factors for heart disease in women are too much belly fat, smoking, and untreated hypertension. High cholesterol is one of the top three risk factors for men, but not for women. (This is because, after menopause, we make heart healthy hormones from our cholesterol.)
Step 1: Collect Information
The Nurses Health Study – which followed 86,000 women for 14 years – shows what happens to those wise old Crones who follow heart healthy behaviors:

It’s a well known fact that the foods people eat can impact the health of their hearts. It is important to limit unhealthy types of fat, salt and cholesterol as well as sugar. But you don’t have to give up flavor in order to maintain a healthy diet. Here are a few healthy eating tips that can help you to prevent the possibility of heart surgery in your future.
One tip you can follow to prevent heart disease is to consider the delicious foods that you can eat more of instead of thinking in terms of what you have to give up. The power of positive thinking works in many circumstances, including a healthy diet. Think of all the lean chicken or fish dishes that form the centerpiece of a healthy meal. Consider the wide variety of nutritious, crunchy vegetables that are available. There are even deserts and snacks that can be enjoyed, such as those that incorporate fresh fruits, seeds or nuts.
With all of the seasonings that are available, it is easy to cut down on salt, fat and sugar, so another tip for heart-healthy eating is to season foods like lean cuts of meat or low-fat ice cream with fresh spices. Cinnamon is a spice that can be used in many main or side dishes to lower your blood sugar as well as LDL cholesterol levels through its potent antioxidant capability. Sprinkle it on low-fat ice cream or yogurt for a delicious desert. Add oregano to your pasta dishes for a punch of antioxidant power that is as strong as three cups of chopped broccoli. Pep up a salad by sprinkling on another antioxidant power house such as thyme. Of course you’ll want to use fresh spices whenever possible for the greatest heart-healthy effect.
Another tip for beating future heart surgery is to add more high-fiber foods to your daily meals. Some tasty high-fiber foods are beans. Eat them four or more times each week and you’ll be 22 percent less likely to develop heart disease than people who eat beans only once a week. That is a big difference, and it won’t take a lot of beans to reach it. Eat only half a cup or so per day, and the type of beans you consume doesn’t matter. Choose your favorites from green beans, black beans, pinto beans or others. Add them to salads and soups, make a pot of beanie chili or just eat them by themselves. They are a delicious way to add more healthful, filling fiber to your diet.
When you feel like snacking, a good tip is to munch on seeds. Chia seeds are a good choice for omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to helping the heart, they are beneficial for digestion, insomnia and concentration. Flax seeds are crunchy and flavorful, and they offer easy absorption that will bring you a lower risk of heart disease. Sesame seeds contain antioxidants that have been shown to reduce cholesterol while adding calcium to the diet, so eat them at snack time or sprinkle them on a salad or in soups. Pumpkin seeds are another delicious choice that will help you catch up on your omega 3 as well as adding protein to your snack.
Another handy tip for improving your diet is to add more vegetables to it. Because they are typically low in calories, veggies can fill you up and make you less inclined to gorge yourself on fatty foods. Filled with vitamins and minerals–plus fiber–vegetables such as spinach or cauliflower can be used in a healthy stir-fry meal or tossed in a salad. Keep broccoli, carrots and celery washed and cut in your refrigerator for quick, healthy snacks. By consuming five or more servings of healthy vegetables every day, you’ll quickly lower your risk of heart disease, heart attack and heart surgery by about twenty percent. Of course, eating those vegetables raw is the most efficient way to gain the health benefits, but you can stir fry or steam them as well. And when the weather is nice, grilling them outside can be an extra-special treat.
One final tip for heart healthy eating is to add a little fruit to your diet. Don’t go overboard, however, because fruits are high in sugar. But many of them, such as avocados, are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids. That means they can reduce blood cholesterol levels. Fruits that contain large amounts of vitamin C–such as oranges and strawberries–can protect your arteries from damage. Red fruits are a logical choice for heart health. Pink grapefruit and watermelon both contain lycopene while apples and cherries contain anthocyanins. All of these will contribute to a healthier heart when consumed on a regular basis.
These are just a few healthy eating tips that can help you to prevent heart surgery in your future. Apply them to your diet today and start reaping the benefits right away.

Aerobic exercise is as important to the success of your aerobic fitness program as your heart is to living. Aerobic exercise programs or more correctly, cardio exercise programs, are the primary means of maintaining your heart health. Allow your heart and lungs to weaken through disuse and all of the activities in your daily life will be more difficult. Engage in a cardio exercise program in one or more of its many manifestations and your quality of life will soar. Whether you walk or run, swim or bicycle, hike or do aerobics, the physiological and psychological benefits to your body and mind are enormous. If you don’t know how or where to begin your cardio exercise program, then why not choose aerobic workout programs to get you on the path to wellness. The first step is always the hardest, especially if you don’t know where to put it. Whether you are headed for the pool or the gym, the bike path or your favorite trail, the aerobic exercise programs that we offer will get you started, guide you along the way and keep you going when the going gets tough. Few of us would embark on a trip to a destination where we had never been before without a road map. Use the aerobic exercise programs that best suits you as your road map to your ultimate destinations of heart health, healthy living and wellness.
Aerobic exercise uses large muscle groups rhythmically and continuously and elevates the heartrate and breathing for a sustained period. Common examples include walking, jogging/running, swimming, rowing, stairclimbing, bicycling, cross-country skiing, step and dance exercise classes, roller skating, and the more continuous forms of tennis, racquetball and squash.
Care and consideration should be used in selecting types (modes) of aerobic exercise. Depending on your goals, physical condition and injury/illness history, different types may prove to be preferential for your particular situation. However, in general, it is a good idea to “cross train”. i.e., alternate between and among several appropriate exercises. Although aerobic exercise is not technique or concentration intensive, proper technique is still very important to optimize your efficiency and prevent injuries. The way you observe everyone else performing an aerobic exercise may not be the right way (e.g., “straight arming” and leaning over on the stairclimbing machines). Obtain quality technique from an exercise physiologist/trainer.
How to start your aerobic training program:1. Desire or motivation that is from who you are, not to get something.2. Start thinking about eating better. Without good fuel it’s hard to get the energy to train.3. Set your goals within yourself and make them realistic. 4. Make the time, create a flexible schedule with alternatives5. Stick to it. Remember, consistency is more important than intensity.6. Understand the basics of bio-mechanics, even for walking7. Get your family to start with you. It’s always easier if your partner is doing a similar program with you.8. If you smoke, start making an effort to cut down.9. Just start eating less, and limit snacks to fruit.10. Cut down on fats, sugar, liquor, canned food, etc..11. Eat more of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole foods, grains, etc.12. Drink more water, read more books, and have more fun in your life.
