“Where We Are Today, Where We’re Going, and How We’re Going to Get There.”
Todd Smith State of the Union Address Charts the Course for a New Day, a New Business |
 |
It began as an exciting call that Todd Smith made to the leaders in his Franchise organization to update them on recent developments at Unicity… but when Stewart Hughes heard it, he knew he had to share it with everyone. This is the call that Stewart claims, “It is very likely the best call I have heard in my Unicity career.”
And now you can listen in as Todd gives his “State of the Union” of where he sees the Bios Life Franchise opportunity today. He touches on our business model, some new enhancements to it, and the importance of attending our Convention of the Americas in Orlando July 19-21, 2007. |
|
Stewart continues, “This event will mark a turning point in the ease of presenting our business to your prospects. I strongly encourage you to take a few minutes and listen to his call right now.”

May is American Stroke Month—
How Do You Recognize a Stroke?
Symptoms of stroke appear suddenly. Watch for these symptoms and be prepared to act quickly for yourself or on behalf of someone you are with: |
-
Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body
-
Sudden confusion, trouble talking, or understanding speech
-
Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
-
Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, or loss of balance or coordination
-
Sudden severe headache with no known cause
|
If you suspect you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms indicative of a stroke, do not wait. Call 911 emergency immediately.
There are now effective therapies for stroke that must be administered at a hospital, but they lose their effectiveness if not given within the first 3 hours after stroke symptoms appear.
Every minute counts!
Unicity International joins with the American Stroke Association to acknowledge May as American Stroke Month. |

Cardiovascular Disease 101 |
Cardiovascular disease refers to diseases of the heart and circulation and is the number one killer of Americans, both male and female. Cardiovascular disease is a broad, all-encompassing term. Despite what its name may suggest, it’s not actually a particular condition or disorder in itself. Rather, cardiovascular disease is a collection of diseases and conditions. |
 |
To get technical, cardiovascular disease refers to any disorder in any of the various parts of your cardiovascular system. Your cardiovascular system consists of your heart and all the blood vessels throughout your body.
Cardiovascular disease, then, has two main components: |
• |
Diseases of the heart (cardio) |
• |
Diseases of the blood vessels (vascular) |
|
Everything from aneurysms to heart attacks to varicose veins are types of cardiovascular disease. You may be born with some types of cardiovascular disease (congenital) or acquire others later on, usually from a lifetime of unhealthy habits, such as smoking. Some types of cardiovascular disease can even cause other types of cardiovascular disease.
|
|
|
Diseases of the Heart
The diseases and conditions affecting the heart are collectively known as heart disease. The heart consists of a muscle that pumps blood, arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle, and valves that ensure the blood within the heart is pumped in the correct direction. Problems can arise in any of these areas.
Like cardiovascular disease, heart disease is a term that's somewhat loose and broad, and it's often used that way.
Here are the specific types of heart disease: |
• |
Coronary artery disease |
• |
Coronary heart disease |
• |
Cardiomyopathy |
• |
Valvular heart disease |
• |
Pericardial disease |
• |
Congenital heart disease |
• |
Heart failure |
|
Diseases of the Blood Vessels
Blood vessels are essentially hollow tubes that carry blood to the organs and tissues throughout your body. The four basic types of blood vessels are: |
 |
Arteries. These blood vessels carry blood away from your heart and out to your body, delivering oxygen and nutrients. The aorta is the largest blood vessel of all.
Veins. These blood vessels carry deoxygenated blood back to your heart. Lacking oxygen, they have a bluish cast on your skin.
Capillaries. These tiny vessels connect arteries and veins.
Lymphatics. Fluid leaks out of capillaries to bathe cells. Lymphatics are delicate vessels that carry this fluid back into your body's central circulation. |
|
Blood vessels have many layers and a complex mechanism of action to keep blood flowing to all of your vital organs. Despite that big responsibility, you probably don't pay much attention to your blood vessels — until something goes wrong, that is.
Here are some types of blood vessel disorders: |
• |
Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis |
• |
High blood pressure |
• |
Stroke |
• |
Aneurysm |
• |
Peripheral arterial disease and claudication |
• |
Vasculitis |
• |
Venous incompetence |
• |
Venous thrombosis |
• |
Varicose veins |
• |
Lymphedema |
|
Two of the most common cardiovascular diseases that we refer to at Unicity are coronary artery disease, and atherosclerosis.
Coronary Artery Disease
These are diseases of the arteries that supply the heart muscle with blood. Coronary artery disease is one of the most common forms of heart disease and the leading cause of heart attacks.It generally means blood flow through the coronary arteries has become obstructed. The most common cause of such obstructions is a condition called atherosclerosis, a largely preventable type of vascular disease. Coronary artery disease can lead to other heart problems, such as chest pain (angina) and heart attack (myocardial infarction).
Arteriosclerosis and Atherosclerosis
Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are conditions in which the walls of your arteries become thick and stiff. |
This can sometimes restrict blood flow to your organs and tissues. The process of this thickening and stiffening is arteriosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is the most common form of arteriosclerosis. Although the two terms are often used interchangeably, atherosclerosis refers to hardening of the arteries caused by accumulation of fatty deposits (plaques) and other substances. The heart is one of the organs commonly affected by atherosclerosis. When the arteries of the heart (coronary arteries) narrow, you may experience chest pain or a heart attack.
Cardiovascular Disease Starts Early
When fat, cholesterol, and inflammatory debris are deposited in the wall of the arteries, we call these deposits plaque. The formation of plaque begins at a young age. Autopsy studies show that about 20 percent of children under the age of ten already have visible plaque formation in their arteries. The more risk factors these children had—poor diet, overweight, second-hand smoke, family history of cardiovascular disease—the more plaque formation was found. In fact, one in six teenagers, from this autopsy study, already showed significant blockage of at least one coronary artery. |
|
Plaque Can Kill
As plaque is accumulated, it becomes very much like a pimple on your skin. As pimples grow, they first form a whitehead, and then become inflamed or infected. Then the pimples burst, or rupture. Plaque in the arteries behaves in a very similar way. These plaques grow and then form a sort of whitehead, inflame, and rupture.
When plaque in the wall of the artery ruptures, however, this causes a serious catastrophe. If the plaque rupture occurs in the heart, a heart attack can occur. If the plaque happens to be in an artery leading to the brain, the result can be a stroke. Similar problems can occur in arteries leading to the arms, legs, kidneys, and other internal organs.
|
|
Once a plaque in the artery ruptures, this begins the process of clotting of the blood in the area of the ruptured plaque. The clot is what blocks off blood flow in the artery, not the plaque itself.
