Almost
every part of a city requires supplies, such as water and food, on a
constant basis.
These supplies must be delivered through a transportation system consisting of main highways, streets and little-known dirt roads. If the streets become jammed or the trucking system breaks down, the needed supplies won?t be delivered efficiently to all parts of the city.
In our bodies we also have a transportation system transversing every tissue and organ: the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
The circulatory system is an incredible network of about 60,000 miles of blood vessels. The center of this vast plumbing system is an 11-ounce fist-sized organ which pumps approximately 100,000 times each day, sending more than 2,000 gallons of blood through its chambers.
The heart is actually a two-pump organ. The right side sends blood to the lungs, where carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen is added. The blood is then pumped to the left side of the heart and sent throughout the body. This process takes an incredible 20 seconds.
The heart operates continually; a complete stop would mean death.
The blood carries vital, life-giving oxygen and nutrients to every cell in the body, supplying the raw materials for energy that power man's every thought and action. The blood also carries to the kidneys many harmful by-products of metabolism.
|
The force of blood pressure as the blood moves through the arteries squeezes out some fat globules, tiny protein particles, and other nutrients. Because of their size, they are too big to squeeze back in. Cell debris also collects between the cells. This is where the lymphatic system comes into play. It picks up these particles and mixes them with plasma, forming lymph. The valuable contents of lymph are purified, recycled in the lymph nodes and added back to the blood. In addition, the lymphatic system is vitally important to the success of the immune system. |
Like the transportation system of a city, our body's transportation system must be properly cared for so it will not become clogged or restricted in its natural flow.
In today's high-tech, high-stress world, there is a real concern about cardiovascular problems. In fact, each year more than 1 million Americans suffer from heart attacks; about 350,000 survive.
The three big factors contributing to circulatory problems are hypertension (high blood pressure), high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the bloodstream, and smoking.
Other factors include obesity, heredity and emotional stress.
One risk factor may lead to another, and there is increased risk of circulatory problems when more than one risk factor is present. For example, when a person has three risk factors, the chances of disease are six times greater than if only one were present.
Maintaining a healthy circulatory system requires pure water, regular physical exercise, stress management and, of course, good nutrition.
Mega-Chel? is nutrition for maximum circulation.
To supplement this life-saving function of the
body, Mega-Chel? includes multiple vitamins, minerals, glandular
extracts, herbs and amino acids. It is specifically designed to supply
maximum nutrition to the circulatory system.
Twelve tablets each day provide a host of nutrients necessary to activate and sustain all the known blood-cleansing activities of the body. Even though Mega-Chel? will not replace a well-rounded diet, it can play an important role as a dietary supplement.
In order to include the most natural
ingredients available, the tablets are made slightly larger than
competitive products.

Garlic has been known since ancient times to nourish the circulatory system. Studies in many countries including India, England, Russia, and Germany have demonstrated its beneficial and harmless effects. The beneficial nutritional effects of garlic are thought to be the result of its sulfur-containing compounds, which also provide garlic's strong smell. Many harmful microorganisms don?t like it either! |

| Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, which can pick up more than half its weight in oxygen. Iron is necessary for transportation of oxygen to the cells and carbon dioxide from the lungs. It is estimated that only 10-20 percent of dietary iron is actually absorbed. Iron intake may also be inadequate during infancy, rapid growth, menstruation and pregnancy. Tannins in tea, phosphate food additives, EPTA (and other food preservatives) and antacids decrease iron absorption. Vitamin C and calcium, which aid iron absorption, have been added to this product. |
