consciouslifenews--2020-07-06--Healing the Heart of Racism | Lynne McTaggart

Much is being said about removing institutional racism from our society , but what do we need to do to remove it from individual hearts ?
Noted sociologist Samuel Oliner , who himself was saved from a Nazi pogrom and hidden by a Christian family for two years , is one of those with an answer .
He has made it his life ’ s work to study people who stand up for others who are not like them , even at personal risk .
After moving to America and becoming a noted sociologist , Oliner interviewed 1074 heroes — @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Nazis , firemen who ran up the Twin Towers — in an attempt to pinpoint the qualities most essential in the altruistic personality .
Although humans are innately generous and selfless , as he has discovered , whether or not we display these qualities has a good deal to do with how we have been brought up to view the world .
The ability to put ourselves in another ’ s shoes is most developed in children who grow up with what Oliner and others refer to as the “ altruistic perspective ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ contract .
They are encouraged to become members of a community and follow its strict social code : to fulfill their shared roles of obligation , sustain a good reputation , uphold friendship , and avoid social disapproval .
The altruists also are able to view society as all-inclusive – and to move beyond even large differences like ethnicity or religion .
Whether a non-Jew helping the Jews in Europe during World War II or a fireman rushing up one of the towers during the 9/11 attacks , the rescuers in Oliner ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ moral obligations to all humanity .
Rescuers felt particularly empathetic toward others ’ pain and tended to observe others in terms of their mutual similarities , regardless of religious , ethnic , economic , or sexual differences .
The altruists also cultivated friends among diverse groups .
They were able to see the big picture – beyond similarity or difference between people — to the common Bond .
Bystanders or those who deliberately hurt others , in Oliner ’ s studies , have had an upbringing that reinforced , on some sort of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , prejudice , racism , and dishonesty .
In most instances , they did not have a close family life ; as children , many had been ignored , deprived of love , or abused in some way .
Selfishness was the natural result of a pathological — or at least a defective — upbringing : excessive individuation .
Harvard University researchers Nancy Briton and Jennifer Leaning conducted thousands of hours of interviews with people in 12 of the most conflict-ridden places on earth , including Bosnia , Afghanistan , and Cambodia .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ had four primary virtues setting them apart , but most important was a sense of common ground with people who were different .
They managed to find , in Briton ’ s words , a “ thread of similarity ” with others , no matter how slight .
Most biologists argue that doing for others is usually carried out ultimately for selfish ends .
According to this mindset , we do nice things , basically , out of guilt , or a fear of reprisal from our friends .
Evolutionary biologist Michael Ghiselin @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an altruist and watch a hypocrite bleed.
” Daniel Batson , a psychologist at the University of Kansas , who holds twin doctorates in theology and psychology , has run a number of experiments whose purpose is to look into the human heart to find out exactly why we do selfless things for other people .
Through some 25 studies , he has shown that altruism isn ’ t sparked by social concerns , such as guilt , sadness , or shame .
Rather , it is evidence of what he calls “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ help if they can put themselves in someone else ’ s shoes .
In one study , Batson made use of functional MRI to study the activity in the brains of people who were observing video clips of patients undergoing painful medical procedures .
When the observers projected themselves into the situation and imagined undergoing the procedure themselves , they increased their own distress and activated those areas of the brain that are associated with pain .
But when they were able to focus their feelings on the inner state of the patient @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distress levels fell and their empathetic concern for the patient rose .
Batson had similar results when he asked his study participants to take one of three perspectives when listening to a narrative about the difficult personal circumstances of “ Katie ” , a young college student who had recently lost both parents .
Those imagining themselves in the situation increased their own personal stress and blocked their ability to help .
But those who were most effective and scored higher were able to step outside their own emotion and focus instead on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s work suggests something important about the nature of connecting across racial divides .
We act on our natural compassion when we can move beyond the sense of self and take the other ’ s perspective .
When people can genuinely feel another person ’ s pain , rather than imagining their own pain in the same circumstance , they are prompted to act altruistically .
His work suggests that altruism requires an ability to completely move out of your own state of mind and into someone else ’ s .

Much is being said about removing institutional racism from our society, but what do we need to do to remove it from individual hearts?
Noted sociologist Samuel Oliner, who himself was saved from a Nazi pogrom and hidden by a Christian family for two years, is one of those with an answer. He has made it his life’s work to study people who stand up for others who are not like them, even at personal risk.
After moving to America and becoming a noted sociologist, Oliner interviewed 1074 heroes — other Christians who hid Jews from the Nazis, firemen who ran up the Twin Towers — in an attempt to pinpoint the qualities most essential in the altruistic personality.
Although humans are innately generous and selfless, as he has discovered, whether or not we display these qualities has a good deal to do with how we have been brought up to view the world.
A strong social contract
The ability to put ourselves in another’s shoes is most developed in children who grow up with what Oliner and others refer to as the “altruistic perspective”: a strong sense of the social contract. They are encouraged to become members of a community and follow its strict social code: to fulfill their shared roles of obligation, sustain a good reputation, uphold friendship, and avoid social disapproval.
The altruists also are able to view society as all-inclusive – and to move beyond even large differences like ethnicity or religion.
Whether a non-Jew helping the Jews in Europe during World War II or a fireman rushing up one of the towers during the 9/11 attacks, the rescuers in Oliner’s study often talked of ethical and moral obligations to all humanity.
Rescuers felt particularly empathetic toward others’ pain and tended to observe others in terms of their mutual similarities, regardless of religious, ethnic, economic, or sexual differences. The altruists also cultivated friends among diverse groups. They were able to see the big picture – beyond similarity or difference between people — to the common Bond.
Bystanders or those who deliberately hurt others, in Oliner’s studies, have had an upbringing that reinforced, on some sort of scale, the opposite impulse: selfishness, prejudice, racism, and dishonesty.
In most instances, they did not have a close family life; as children, many had been ignored, deprived of love, or abused in some way. Selfishness was the natural result of a pathological — or at least a defective — upbringing: excessive individuation.
Harvard University researchers Nancy Briton and Jennifer Leaning conducted thousands of hours of interviews with people in 12 of the most conflict-ridden places on earth, including Bosnia, Afghanistan, and Cambodia.
They discovered that these kinds of upstanders had four primary virtues setting them apart, but most important was a sense of common ground with people who were different. They managed to find, in Briton’s words, a “thread of similarity” with others, no matter how slight.
Walking a mile in your shoes
Most biologists argue that doing for others is usually carried out ultimately for selfish ends.
According to this mindset, we do nice things, basically, out of guilt, or a fear of reprisal from our friends. Evolutionary biologist Michael Ghiselin put it more unsentimentally: “Scratch an altruist and watch a hypocrite bleed.”
Daniel Batson, a psychologist at the University of Kansas, who holds twin doctorates in theology and psychology, has run a number of experiments whose purpose is to look into the human heart to find out exactly why we do selfless things for other people.
Through some 25 studies, he has shown that altruism isn’t sparked by social concerns, such as guilt, sadness, or shame. Rather, it is evidence of what he calls “the empathy-altruism hypothesis”: people will help if they can put themselves in someone else’s shoes.
In one study, Batson made use of functional MRI to study the activity in the brains of people who were observing video clips of patients undergoing painful medical procedures.
When the observers projected themselves into the situation and imagined undergoing the procedure themselves, they increased their own distress and activated those areas of the brain that are associated with pain.
But when they were able to focus their feelings on the inner state of the patient and his likely feelings, their own distress levels fell and their empathetic concern for the patient rose.
Batson had similar results when he asked his study participants to take one of three perspectives when listening to a narrative about the difficult personal circumstances of “Katie”, a young college student who had recently lost both parents.
Those imagining themselves in the situation increased their own personal stress and blocked their ability to help.
But those who were most effective and scored higher were able to step outside their own emotion and focus instead on Katie’s likely feelings.
Batson’s work suggests something important about the nature of connecting across racial divides. We act on our natural compassion when we can move beyond the sense of self and take the other’s perspective.
When people can genuinely feel another person’s pain, rather than imagining their own pain in the same circumstance, they are prompted to act altruistically.
His work suggests that altruism requires an ability to completely move out of your own state of mind and into someone else’s.
Batson refers to this impulse as empathy, but Robert Cialdini, a former psychologist at the University of Arizona and author of Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, offers a more all-embracing explanation.
We can help when we have lost our sense of individuality and step temporarily into a space of oneness.
Healing our society of racism will be the natural extension of what happens when each of us can move out of our small sense of ourselves and our own individuality and into space between.

Get the Right Communication Tools When you ’ re feeling hurt , it ’ s easy to say things like “ You treat me like I don ’ t exist !
” or “ You never call because you don ’ t care about me ” or “ You don ’ t even make an effort to change.
” You @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is , doing your best to express your feelings and needs .
When all else has failed , how else are you supposed to wake him up ?
The problem is that such constructive criticism is , well , critical .
If you ’ ve tried this approach , then you already know all too well that it doesn ’ t get you very far in restoring the connection you want .
On the contrary , criticizing him is disrespectful .
For men , respect is like oxygen , so there ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ out of your relationship than to criticize or control , dismiss or demean him .
( And kill your sex life in the process since the biggest aphrodisiac for men is–you guessed it–respect ! )
Conventional wisdom dictates using “ I ” statements like “ I get anxious when I don ’ t hear from you ” or “ I would really appreciate it if you could spend some time with the kids for two hours every evening so that I could have some time to myself ” or “ I feel sad @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But is that really better ?
Using the word “ you ” and even “ we ” is venturing onto his side of the street .
Even if you manage to avoid conveying the implicit criticism You ’ re not communicating with me , hanging out on his side of the street puts you in control land , which is another form of disrespect .
Once your eyes are open to how sneaky disrespect can be , what are you supposed to do instead ?
If you ’ re lonely for his time @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these three magic words : “ I miss you.
” My student Charlene was stressed about her husband sleeping on the sofa .
She couldn ’ t sleep with the tension in the air , so she went out there and started to point out the error of his ways .
Then she caught herself .
She knew that disrespect wasn ’ t very attractive , so she used another magic phrase to clean it up : “ I apologize for being disrespectful when I… ” and filled in the blank with how @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that her side of the street was clean , she vulnerably showed her softer side by saying what she really meant , which was simply “ I miss you.
” He got in bed with her ten minutes later .
True story .
Your man ’ s shortcomings , his part in the breakdown of your marriage , and the changes he needs to make are probably crystal clear .
You may even be asking yourself whether your husband loves you at all .
If you are at that point check out my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Love Me ” .
It ’ s so frustrating and discouraging when you ’ re trying to get him to change and he just won ’ t .
It ’ s not very empowering either .
That ’ s because you can not change anyone but yourself .
With no control over him making any changes , you become the victim .
In fact , you hold all the power .
As a woman , you are the keeper of your relationship .
You have the power to change the culture of your @ @ @ @ @ @ @ knowledge or effort .
It takes a lot of courage to let the change originate in you .
It means looking at your part in those very areas where he ’ s falling short even though they seem like all his fault .
If you ’ re feeling disrespected , how are you doing when it comes to showing respect ?
If you ’ re feeling unappreciated , how are you doing when it comes to expressing appreciation ?
And what does your husband see when he looks into his wife mirror ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to him in your eyes , he ’ ll stop looking .
What I see all too often is that he starts looking elsewhere to get the reflection he once got from you , back when you saw the best in him .
Try embarking on a smile campaign .
When he walks into the room , light up .
Instead of the typical “ How was your day ?
” or “ What do you want for dinner ?
” ( “ you ” questions back on his side of the street @ @ @ @ @ @ @ you are to see him ?
Chances are , he ’ ll want to spend more time with such a shiny wife mirror !
And he ’ ll want to share more with you too .
Haven ’ t you always wanted him to open up to you ?
The more you just listen without contradicting or advising , the more he ’ ll want to .
3 .
Work On the Right Things I know , I know .
It ’ s kinda hard to light up when you ’ re exhausted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , getting dinner on the table , dreading the mountain of dirty laundry , and worrying about your marriage on top of it all .
You might think I ’ m asking you to become a Stepford Wife .
Absolutely not !
I ’ m inviting you to be 100 % authentic .
Here are two key questions for honoring yourself : How do you feel and what do you want ?
The answer may be as simple as “ I feel tired .
I want a nap.
” But it ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a thirty-minute lie down .
After some sorely needed “ Me Time ” , all may look right with the world again .
Your husband isn ’ t so annoying anymore .
Maybe he has even cleaned up while you got out of the way .
Self-care is like pixie dust , and it ’ s the indispensable first step to intimacy .
What would you do if only you had the time ?
What did you used to do for fun back when you attracted him ?
The more frivolous , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ kick your feet up and read instead of doing those dishes , go on that wine tasting day trip with your friends .
If you feel guilty , do it anyway !
If not for yourself , do it for your relationship .
Filling your self-care tank increases your magnetism and makes you an irresistible Goddess of Fun and Light .
And there ’ s no surer way to rekindle the spark .
Here ’ s one more piece of conventional “ wisdom ” to ignore : date night !
Does adding that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between scrubbing the toilets and cleaning the garage , really inspire romance ?
If you really want to get the romance back , try dialing up the gender contrast instead .
One way to increase your femininity ( and his masculinity ) is becoming more receptive .
If he does the dishes , it may be tempting to say “ Now how about wiping the counters ?
” ( like I used to ) .
Instead , receive graciously .
Even if he loaded the dishwasher wrong .
Even if he did only @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for receiving ?
When you focus on receiving , all sorts of things will start coming your way–to the point that you might feel guilty receiving them all .
If your husband has already taken care of the kids ’ bath time and bedtime , gives you a massage while watching a movie with you , then offers to get up early so you can sleep in ( yes , this is a real-life example ) , it might be too much to take .
I invite you to receive graciously anyway .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ , he ’ ll want to do even more to make you happy .
As you express your gratitude so freely , he ’ ll express more appreciation for you .
Here ’ s to having the power to change the culture in your marriage !
How will you use it ?

After all, education policymakers hold the future of our youths in their hands. Today, we will enhance your knowledge as we will share with you specific ways education policy can play a role in reshaping the future. They are listed below;
It Solves Overcrowding Issues In Schools
Countries like the United States of America are full of overcrowded schools and universities. The National Center for Education Statistics conducted a study which stated that fourteen percent of schools in the USA have overcrowding issues. Due to this reason, the quality of education suffers. There is a lack of teachers against students, or students don't get the attention they deserve, which makes them lose interest in their studies.
Education policy plays a crucial role in solving this overcrowding issue. Policymakers have devised plans that condemn overcrowding. It is an ongoing process, and maintenance is given by the government wherever it is necessary to accommodate students in a growing society. By doing a master's in education policy, individuals can learn how the government implements education policies and how they affect our children's future.
It Addresses Issues Faced By Schools By Funded Schools
A study done in 2018 showed that states in the USA contribute forty-four percent in the total funding provided to educational institutes. The issues aren't states being cash-strapped or the Federal government not coming up with revenue as it is all about priorities. The USA spends more money on housing an inmate in jail than it does to educate a school-going child.
Education policy plays an important role when it comes to this problem. Policymakers can implement progressive tax laws that tax wealthy citizens more than a person doing a minimum wage job. These funds can then be used to improve the overall quality issues that the school face. That way, more individuals will get an education, and the country will flourish as a result.
It Helps In Building a School Community For Students

Due to competition amongst school and who remains on the top of the list of successful educational institutes, eventually driving out underachievers is common. Instead, schools must focus on every individual's success, be it big or small.
Education policy plays a huge role in remedying this situation. Policies should be inforced to build a friendlier environment for students to study in. With the enforcement of the right education policy, every student has an equal chance of success. A school can only accomplish this feat if it is more of a community for children, instead of a business. If students are successful, they have a chance of a bright future, and they will inherit the ability to give back to their country.
Helps In Raising Standards For Teachers
Many studies have found that schools that hire underqualified teachers lead to their students' poor educational experience. However, there is some good news. It the area of education where enforcing the correct educational policies can make a huge impact. A change in educational systems is needed as the No Child Left Behind Act, and the Every Student Succeeds Act has eliminated the need for a high-quality teacher to be present at a school. More focus is being put only on providing children with education, rather than a quality one.
Due to this reason, educational policymakers need to raise the bar for teachers, as schools should hire only certified teachers instead of underqualified ones. The right education policy will ensure schools are giving out quality education to all its students.
THE FINAL WORDS
Governments worldwide must empower the new generation by providing them with tools to create a future and a better world. It can only occur if the governments get it right by adjusting policies regarding education. For example, the education policy in countries like Finland focuses primarily on teacher selection and remuneration. Moreover, policymakers have it in their hands to make the education system better than it was before. Today, we have shared with you the role of education policy in reshaping the future.

Enlightenment of Everything
The Gayatri Mantra is a mantra which essentially states that if I truly understood that everything originates from the same source, I would see that everything is integrally connected and therefore I have everything I need. What I’ve been practicing lately is understanding how through my different disciplines of focus and study in life, yoga/mediation, music, and human relationships, I can see the SAME truths manifest whether I’m practicing sun salutations, playing Coltrane on my sax, or learning to truly listen to my wife and life-partner. Like the Gayatri mantra states, understanding something to its core, means understanding that everything comes from that core.
The ancient yoga sutras give us insight on how to achieve Samadhi, the fullest experience of yoga when one realizes the connectedness of all things and becomes all things. There are several paths to this end—the sutras list 8. Through practicing, yoga, and meditation, I’ve come to understand that it’s foolish to think that one can only get the knowledge and wisdom of Samadhi by practicing yoga. Once I get a taste for what it is, I can feel Samadhi in yoga, hear it in Coltrane, I can feel in when my wife and I are truly connected. Sometimes it takes practicing a discipline and arriving at the finish line, or even at mile markers along the way, to realize that there are several paths that could have brought you there.
Many Ways to Roll
So knowing that there are several ways to roll, and I get to choose the one that work best for me, I still choose yoga/meditation, music, and love as my pathways to my personal wisdom and fulfillment. And when someone tells me of their passion for their path, be it Pilates, badminton, painting, or death metal (that’s right), I am offered an opportunity to practice listening and compassion to understand how that pathway could bring that soul to the same place. Critics might say that death metal couldn’t possibly bring someone to the same place that yoga or meditation could. To critics, I would proffer: start listening to death metal.
If yoga and meditation speak to you, I’d be honored to offer you my free Tranquility Tool Kit, which gives you many resources to find your own path. I’m thrilled to have a job where I get to practice and teach one of the very things that brings me toward my highest truth and I celebrate the opportunity to meet like-minded people along the way.

consciouslifenews--2020-07-07--Tribes and Climate Activists Celebrate Court-Ordered Shutdown of Dakota Access Pipeline

A U.S. district court on Monday delivered a major win to local Indigenous organizers and climate activists—and a significant blow to the fossil fuel industry and the Trump administration—by ordering the Dakota Access Pipeline to be shut down and emptied of oil by Aug. 5 while federal regulators conduct an environmental review of the project .
“ Today is a historic day for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the many people who have supported us in the fight against the pipeline.
” —Mike Faith , Standing Rock Sioux Tribe DAPL , as the Energy Transfer Partners ( ETP ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ oil from North Dakota 's Bakken shale basin to a terminal in Illinois .
The pipeline has gained international notoriety in recent years due to protests—particularly on and around the Standing Rock Indian Reservation—by environmentalists and Native Americans who live along the route .
The Monday decision by D.C.-based District Judge James E. Boasberg comes after four years of litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux , Cheyenne River Sioux , and others against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for allowing ETP to construct and operate the pipeline beneath Lake Oahe , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ near the reservation .
The Obama administration denied permits for DAPL to cross the river in December 2016 , but President Donald Trump signed an executive order advancing the project shortly after taking office in January 2017 .
The pipeline was completed and operating within months .
Boasberg 's move to shut down DAPL was welcomed by critics of the pipeline .
“ Today is a historic day for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the many people who have supported us in the fight against the pipeline , ” chairman Mike Faith @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a statement .
“ This pipeline should have never been built here .

A U.S. district court on Monday delivered a major win to local Indigenous organizers and climate activists—and a significant blow to the fossil fuel industry and the Trump administration—by ordering the Dakota Access Pipeline to be shut down and emptied of oil by Aug. 5 while federal regulators conduct an environmental review of the project.
“Today is a historic day for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the many people who have supported us in the fight against the pipeline.”
—Mike Faith, Standing Rock Sioux Tribe
DAPL, as the Energy Transfer Partners (ETP) pipeline is widely known, transports crude oil from North Dakota's Bakken shale basin to a terminal in Illinois. The pipeline has gained international notoriety in recent years due to protests—particularly on and around the Standing Rock Indian Reservation—by environmentalists and Native Americans who live along the route.
The Monday decision by D.C.-based District Judge James E. Boasberg comes after four years of litigation brought by the Standing Rock Sioux, Cheyenne River Sioux, and others against the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for allowing ETP to construct and operate the pipeline beneath Lake Oahe, a dammed portion of the Missouri River near the reservation.
A Victory for the Oceti Sakowin (Great Sioux Nation): A US District Court has ordered that the Dakota Access Pipeline must be shut down within 30 days so that an adequate, lengthy environmental review may be completed #NoDAPL https://t.co/q05PJujSEb — Ruth Hopkins ⚡❤⚡ (@Ruth_HHopkins) July 6, 2020
HUGE HUGE HUGE HUGE NEWS! FED judge orders Dakota Access pipeline to be SHUT DOWN!!! Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes win major court victory! https://t.co/MFEwZPNp4L — Dallas Goldtooth (@dallasgoldtooth) July 6, 2020
The Obama administration denied permits for DAPL to cross the river in December 2016, but President Donald Trump signed an executive order advancing the project shortly after taking office in January 2017. The pipeline was completed and operating within months.
Boasberg's move to shut down DAPL was welcomed by critics of the pipeline.
“Today is a historic day for the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe and the many people who have supported us in the fight against the pipeline,” chairman Mike Faith of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe said in a statement. “This pipeline should have never been built here. We told them that from the beginning.”
“It took four long years, but today justice has been served at Standing Rock,” added Earthjustice attorney Jan Hasselman, who represents the tribe. “If the events of 2020 have taught us anything, it's that health and justice must be prioritized early on in any decision-making process if we want to avoid a crisis later on.”
In a separate statement, the Indigenous Environmental Network (IEN) delcared, “We are celebrating this order as it vindicates the many prayers, actions, and legal arguments of Oceti Sakowin tribal nations and communities!”
“The Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Sioux Tribes have shown the world that treaty rights and environmental justice are not token concepts without merit, but rather tangible arguments that inherently protect the sacredness of mother earth,” IEN said. “We will continue to fight until DAPL is stopped completely ”
BREAKING: The Dakota Access Pipeline is shutting down! This is a monumental victory. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, and other indigenous and environmental activists for their tireless work.https://t.co/6Ie1QmkfYi — Fire Drill Fridays (@FireDrillFriday) July 6, 2020
Holy mackerel. An astonishing turn of events, which comes only because of massive indigenous-led organizing. https://t.co/2rSVEELyPs — Bill McKibben (@billmckibben) July 6, 2020
Boasberg's order Monday followed his finding in March that the Corps had violated the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) when approving federal permits for DAPL. The Corps is expected to finish it full court-ordered Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the pipeline by mid-2021.
The decision to temporarily shut down DAPL came just a day after two energy companies cancelled the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) that would have transported fracked gas through West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina—a move that activists called a “historic victory for clean water, the climate, public health, and our communities.”
Two huge pipeline defeats in two days:
A federal judge just ordered the Dakota Access oil pipeline shut down after 3 years of operations after finding fault w a key permit.
Yesterday, Dominion & partner Duke Energy scrapped plans for the Atlantic Coast gas pipeline. #DAPL #ACP — Jennifer A. Dlouhy (@jendlouhyhc) July 6, 2020

It 's the number one cause of premature death .
Cardiovascular disease is often a silent disease that does n't show up until the arteries that deliver blood to your heart are narrowed to the point that your heart gets less .
But the changes that lead to cardiovascular disease happen gradually over time .
Studies show that changes that trigger heart disease show up as early as childhood .
The risk of cardiovascular disease is partially related to genetics , but lifestyle plays a key role in prevention .

Are they wasting their money ?

One of the more convincing studies was a trial that showed taking 600 milligrams of DHA and 300 milligrams of EPA , two long-chain fatty acids in fish oil , reduced death from cardiovascular disease and mortality from all causes .
Some studies also show that taking prescription long-chain omega-3s in the form of EPA offers added protection against cardiovascular disease in people taking statins .
It 's not proven that long-chain omega-3 or fish @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease , but there are few downsides to getting more omega-3s through diet or supplementation .
Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties , and some studies suggest that they may be beneficial for reducing inflammation associated with other health conditions like arthritis .
Another upside to long-chain omega-3s is they reduce blood triglycerides .
When blood triglycerides are too high , it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease .
One precaution : if you take blood thinners , avoid supplemental omega-3s as doing so may increase the risk of bleeding .
Pungent , sulfur-rich garlic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in several ways .
Studies show it has favorable effects on blood lipids and can lower total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol , the type linked with cardiovascular disease , by up to 15 % .

Studies also show it reduces systolic blood pressure in people with hypertension and modestly reduces blood pressure in healthy individuals .
Therefore , taking a garlic supplement may reduce markers for cardiovascular risk , including lipids and blood pressure .
Plus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ helps keep blood clots , that could lead to a heart attack or stroke , from forming .
For this reason , do n't take garlic extract if you 're already taking blood thinners .
Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant available as a supplement .

You can get coenzyme Q10 from food sources , including organ meats , broccoli , cauliflower , and fish , but you 'd have to consume such high quantities to get the full benefits that it 's not practical .
That 's why coenzyme Q10 supplements are so popular .

It's the number one cause of premature death. Cardiovascular disease is often a silent disease that doesn't show up until the arteries that deliver blood to your heart are narrowed to the point that your heart gets less. This is why blood vessel health is very important to monitor. But the changes that lead to cardiovascular disease happen gradually over time. Studies show that changes that trigger heart disease show up as early as childhood.
The risk of cardiovascular disease is partially related to genetics, but lifestyle plays a key role in prevention. You probably already know some of the obvious ways to reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke:
Exercise consistently
Don't smoke and use alcohol only in moderation
Consume a heart-healthy diet
Manage stress
Maintain a healthy body weight
Get at least 7 hours of sleep per night
With cardiovascular disease being so common, people sometimes turn to private label supplements in hopes of lowering their risk. Are they wasting their money? Let's look at some supplements that show promise for lowering the risk of heart disease.
Long-Chain Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Fatty fish is rich in long-chain omega-3 fatty acids. Some studies show that people who eat more omega-3-rich fish, like salmon, have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease. However, some human trials where subjects take fish oil or long-chain omega-3 supplements fail to show a strong benefit.
One of the more convincing studies was a trial that showed taking 600 milligrams of DHA and 300 milligrams of EPA, two long-chain fatty acids in fish oil, reduced death from cardiovascular disease and mortality from all causes. Some studies also show that taking prescription long-chain omega-3s in the form of EPA offers added protection against cardiovascular disease in people taking statins.
It's not proven that long-chain omega-3 or fish oil supplements reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, but there are few downsides to getting more omega-3s through diet or supplementation. Omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties, and some studies suggest that they may be beneficial for reducing inflammation associated with other health conditions like arthritis. Another upside to long-chain omega-3s is they reduce blood triglycerides. When blood triglycerides are too high, it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.
One precaution: if you take blood thinners, avoid supplemental omega-3s as doing so may increase the risk of bleeding.
Garlic Extract
Pungent, sulfur-rich garlic may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease in several ways. Studies show it has favorable effects on blood lipids and can lower total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol, the type linked with cardiovascular disease, by up to 15%. Plus, it modestly raises HDL-cholesterol, the form linked with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Studies also show it reduces systolic blood pressure in people with hypertension and modestly reduces blood pressure in healthy individuals. Therefore, taking a garlic supplement may reduce markers for cardiovascular risk, including lipids and blood pressure. Plus, garlic has a blood-thinning effect that helps keep blood clots, that could lead to a heart attack or stroke, from forming. For this reason, don't take garlic extract if you're already taking blood thinners.
Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant available as a supplement. One study found that taking aged garlic extract and coenzyme Q10 reduced markers for cardiovascular disease. Another study found that supplemental coenzyme Q10 alone reduced the risk of dying in people with heart failure. In addition, some cardiologists recommend coenzyme Q10 to patients who are taking statins to reduce the achy muscles and muscle weakness that some people on statins experience. However, it's not clear how well coenzyme Q10 works for muscle problems related to statins. You can get coenzyme Q10 from food sources, including organ meats, broccoli, cauliflower, and fish, but you'd have to consume such high quantities to get the full benefits that it's not practical. That's why coenzyme Q10 supplements are so popular.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral your body needs to run over 300 chemical reactions, including ones involved in blood vessel and heart health. Yet studies show up to half the population is at least marginally deficient in magnesium. That's a concern! One study found that people with the lowest magnesium level were 70% more likely to die from cardiovascular disease relative to those with a higher level. Plus, magnesium aids in blood vessel function and blood pressure control. You can get magnesium from dietary sources, including seeds, nuts, whole grains, and leafy greens, but people who eat a lot of ultra-processed foods and refined grains may fall short. That's where supplementation can be an advantage.
The Bottom Line
Heart-healthy lifestyle habits are the best strategy for avoiding cardiovascular disease, but there is some evidence that some supplements may help too. As with all medications and supplements, discuss the pros and cons of taking any supplement with your physician. Some can interact with prescription medications too. It's important to stay active and eat a healthy diet to reduce your risk of heart disease. Taking a supplement won't take the place of heart-healthy lifestyle habits.
