L-Carnitine Could Improve Cardiac Health Following Heart Attack
(excerpt)

While foods like steaks and hamburgers are often negatively linked to cardiovascular health, new research published in Fridays edition of Mayo Clinic Proceedings suggests a compound commonly found in red meat could actually improve cardiac health in patients following a heart attack.
The authors of that paper conducted a systematic review of 13 different controlled studies and linked the compound L-carnitine with a significant reduction in the risk of death from all causes following a heart attack. Furthermore, the substance was linked with a highly significant reduction of death resulting from ventricular arrhythmias and anginal attacks following a cardiac event, when compared to control groups or placebos.
Buy lemons and freeze them. Grate some while frozen, into your gimlet, even the interior and seeds. Enjoy ... I like that little treat in Bombay Sapphire, chilled extra cold (Gin from the freezer).
