When earthquakes started hitting Oklahoma in the early 2010s, it surprised a lot of people.

當地震在2010年代初開始襲擊俄克拉何馬州時,許多人感到驚訝。

 

Prior to 2010, the state averaged less than two earthquakes per year, usually mild. But as the decade progressed, that number shot up to as many as 887 in one year – more than two per day
在2010年之前,該州平均每年只有不到兩次地震,通常很輕微。但隨著往後十年,該數字飆升至一年多達887次,每天超過兩次。.

 

The state of Oklahoma knew it needed to do something to protect its public buildings, so it took two steps…

俄克拉何馬州知道必須採取措施來保護公共建築物,因此採取了兩步措施……

 

It identified the cause of the earthquakes – wastewater from oil and gas production was being pumped back into the ground, causing disturbance to the earth’s crust – and put restrictions on the practice.

其中個措施是確定了地震的原因 - 石油和天然氣生產的廢水被泵回地下,對地殼造成擾動 - 並對這一做法施加了限制。

 

It also surveyed its public buildings to determine what was needed to reinforce them, to reduce the likelihood of damage in the future.

另一個措施是對其公共建築進行了研究,以確定需要加強什麼來減少未來損壞的可能性。

 

A similar phenomenon has been happening with pets recently. Veterinarians have been seeing a rise in heart conditions among their patients – and it has them concerned.

最近寵物界也出現了類似的現象。獸醫們發現他們的病人中心臟疾病的發生率正在上升,情況讓他們感到擔憂。

 

Heart issues are now the most common cause of sudden death in cats and the number two cause of death in dogs.

心臟問題現在是貓咪突然死亡的最常見原因,也是狗狗死亡的第二大原因。

 

Dogs as young as five years old can be affected, and reason for concern increases dramatically with an animal’s age. Up to 75% of senior dogs have some type of heart condition.

低至五歲的狗狗甚至都可能受到影響,隨著動物年齡的增長的原因而患上心臟病急劇增加。高達75%的老狗有某種類型的心臟問題。

 

Some estimates put the percentage of cats in the U.S. with a heart condition at around 15%.

美國有心臟問題的貓咪的比例推算約為15%。

 

While finding the cause of the rise in heart issues isn’t as simple as finding the cause of the earthquakes in Oklahoma, vets have identified two major contributors: a pet’s diet and being overweight.

雖然找到心臟問題上升的原因不像找到俄克拉何馬州地震的原因那麼簡單,但獸醫已經確定了兩個主要因素:寵物的飲食和超重。

 

So, what can you do to help your pet stay healthy?

那麼你可以做些什麼來幫助你的寵物保持健康呢?

 

Like the builder who lays in earthquake protection, you can provide reinforcement to help protect your pet from possible future problems.

就像建築師增強建築物以抵禦地震一樣,你可以提供加強措施,以幫助保護你的寵物於未來免受可能的問題困擾。

 

Let’s discuss the things you can do to help keep your pet healthy.

讓我們討論一下你可以做些什麼來幫助保持寵物健康。

 

 

 

A Close-Up Look at Your Pet’s Heart

深入了解你寵物的心臟

 

To understand how to keep your pet’s heart healthy, it’s important to know how her heart works, and how problems develop. From there, you can understand what is needed to give her the best support possible.

以及如何形成問題是很重要的。你可以從而了解到需要什麼才能為牠提供最佳支持。

 

Cats’ and dogs’ hearts are divided into four functional parts. Those parts are the:

貓和狗的心臟分為四個功能部份,包括:

 

  • Heart muscle, which pumps blood throughout the body.
    心肌,將血液泵送到全身。
  • Heart valves, which direct blood flow in the proper direction.
    心瓣,將血液流向正確的方向。
  • Pericardium, the tough membrane that envelops and protects the heart.
    心包,包裹和保護心臟的堅韌膜。
  • Heart conducting system, which directs the electrical impulses that keep the heart beating in a coordinated manner.
    心臟傳導系統,控制電脈衝使心臟以正確的方式跳動的。

 

Various heart conditions, either inherited or acquired, can affect any or all of these components.

任何一個或所有這些部份都可能受到遺傳或後天的心臟疾病的影響。

 

Common heart concerns that can affect cats and dogs include:

可能影響貓和狗的常見心臟問題包括:

 

  • Enlargement or thickening of the heart (this is the most common heart condition seen in cats).
    心臟發大或增厚(這是貓最常見的心臟疾病)。
  • Weakening of the heart muscle.
    心肌虛弱。
  • Buildup of scar tissue on the inner lining and muscle of the heart.
    瘢痕組織增生於內膜和心肌上。
  • Deterioration of the valves (heart murmur), allowing the blood to leak backwards and increase the load on the heart; this can be genetic or acquired.
    瓣膜惡化(心雜音),使血液向後倒流並增加心臟負荷;這可能是基因或後天的。
  • Circulatory or blood flow issues (common condition in dogs).
    循環或血液流動問題(狗的常見疾病)。

 

Many of the changes develop slowly, over months and years, with few outward signs of declining heart function.

許多變化是需要幾個月或幾年時間逐漸形成的,,並且少有明顯的病徵以顯示心臟功能下降。

 

While some heart concerns may be preventable, some aren’t. But, by supporting your pet’s heart health with smart lifestyle choices, you may be able to help slow the progression of changes and limit their long-term effects.

儘管有些心臟問題可以預防,但有些則不行。但是,透過選擇一些健康的生活方式可以強化你的寵物心臟健康,減慢老化衰退並減少長遠影響。

 

 


These Pets Are Most at Risk for Heart Conditions

這些寵物最容易患上心臟疾病

 

Certain breeds are more susceptible to heart conditions at an earlier age, but the reality is that any dog or cat can experience changes that develop naturally with age.

某些品種更容易在較年輕時患上心臟病,但現實情況是任何狗或貓都會隨著年齡增長而患上心臟病。

 

With congenital heart conditions, genetics are mostly to blame. Inherited cardiac issues affect both small and large dog breeds. Several canine breeds more likely to be impacted by genetic heart conditions include:

對於先天性心臟病多數因為基因。不論小型或大型狗隻,都會受遺傳性心臟問題影響。某幾個品種更容易受到基因心臟疾病的影響,包括:

 

  • Cavalier King Charles Spaniels
    查理斯王小獵犬
  • Dachshunds
    臘腸狗
  • Miniature and Toy Poodles
    迷你和玩具貴婦
  • Doberman Pinschers
    都柏文
  • Boxers
    拳師狗
  • Golden Retrievers
    金毛尋回犬
  • Miniature Schnauzers
    迷你史立莎

 

A full 50% of Cavaliers have detectable heart issues by age five. Dobermans, especially males, should be screened twice yearly starting at age four for heart conditions. All of the breeds in the above list should be monitored closely for heart issues, starting at an early age.

50%的查理斯王小獵犬於五歲時就已經有心臟問題。都柏文,尤其是雄性,從四歲開始應每年進行兩次心臟疾病檢查。上列的所有品種都應從早期開始密切監測心臟問題。

 

Several breeds of cats are also genetically predisposed to heart conditions:

以下幾種貓類品種也容易患上先天性心臟病:

 

  • Maine Coon
    緬因貓
  • American Shorthair
    美國短毛貓
  • British Shorthair
    英國短毛貓
  • Persians
    波斯貓
  • Siamese
    暹羅貓

 

As you can see, some very popular cat breeds are included in this group. That may be why cats more than dogs tend to exhibit signs of heart conditions during their lifetimes.

正如你所見,一些非常受歡迎的貓品種也包括在內。這可能是點解貓比狗好似更容易患上心臟病。

 

 


The Hidden Heart Crisis in Cats

貓貓隱藏的心臟危機


Because kitties are such masters at concealing health issues, a heart concern often remains hidden until it becomes a crisis. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. In the wild, any type of weakness makes an animal stand out to its predators.

由於貓咪非常擅長隱藏健康問題,一個心臟問題通常會一直隱藏,直到變成危機。這並不奇怪,在野外,任何類型的弱點都會讓動物暴露在掠食者的攻擊下。

On the outside, your cat may appear healthy. If a heart issue is brewing, you’re unlikely to know until he begins to show more advanced signs. All you may notice at first is a decreased appetite, or maybe he is sleeping or hiding more. Issues often arise around middle age.

從表面上看,你的貓可能看起來很健康。如果心臟問題正在醞釀中,其實你很難知道,直到牠開始出現更嚴重的症狀。你可能最初只會注意到食慾減少,或者牠瞓多左或躲藏。問題通常在中年左右出現。

So, what can you do to support your kitty’s heart health and function?

那麼,你可以做些什麼來維持貓咪的心臟健康和功能呢?

Most importantly, feed your cat a human-grade, meat-based diet, without grains and unnecessary carbohydrates.

最重要的是,為你的貓提供以人類級別的肉類為基礎的飲食,不含穀物和不必要的碳水化合物

While there are a multitude of reasons to feed meat and avoid carbs, one of the most important reasons lies in an essential amino acid that is crucial for heart health

儘管有許多原因要餵食肉類並避免碳水化合物,但其中最重要的原因之一在於氨基酸 - 一種對心臟健康至關重要的必需品......

Taurine. Critical not only for heart health, it also supports brain health, eye function, digestive health and nerve growth.

牛磺酸。不僅對心臟健康至關重要,它還支持大腦健康,眼睛功能,消化健康和神經生長。

While most mammals are able to make their own taurine from other amino acids, a cat’s ability to do this is limited, so your cat requires large amounts of it in his diet. Fresh food diets rich in organ and muscle meats contain abundant, naturally occurring taurine.

儘管大多數哺乳動物能夠從其他氨基酸中製造自己的牛磺酸,但貓的能力很有限,因此你的貓需要在飲食中攝取大量的牛磺酸。內臟和肌肉的新鮮食品飲食中含有豐富、自然存在的牛磺酸。

While taurine is routinely added to commercial cat food, it’s not always in sufficient quantity to meet feline needs. Cats can easily become taurine deficient if they don’t get enough in their diets.

雖然牛磺酸通常添加到商業貓食中,但它並不能足夠滿足貓的需求。如果貓的飲食中沒有足夠的牛磺酸,它們很容易出現牛磺酸缺乏症。

There are some types of cat food that, while they meet AAFCO nutritional requirements, are nonetheless low in taurine. These include dry kibble and semi-moist pouched food.

某一些貓糧中,雖然符合AAFCO營養要求,但牛磺酸含量仍然很低。其中包括乾糧和半濕袋裝食品。

I strongly recommend that you avoid feeding your cat these types of foods. I also recommend providing extra taurine if your cat may be at risk for heart concerns.

我強烈建議你避免餵食這些類型的食品給你的貓。如果你的貓可能有心臟問題風險,我建議提供額外的牛磺酸。

 

 


What You Need to Know About the Link Between Diet and Heart Health

你需要知道關於飲食與心臟健康之間的關係


Researchers have made an interesting discovery in recent years – the canine cardiovascular system is very similar to the human cardiovascular system.

近年來,研究人員有一個有趣的發現-狗嘅心血管系統與人類心血管系統非常相似。

One area in which they are strikingly similar is the significant role diet plays in heart health.

其中一個顯著相似之處在於飲食在心臟健康中所扮演的重要角色

For humans, processed junk food with excessive carbohydrates are a known factor for heart concern risk.

對於人類來說,過多碳水化合物的加工垃圾食品是產生心臟問題風險的已知因素。

For dogs and cats, it’s not much different…

對於狗和貓來說,這沒有太大區別......

Biologically inappropriate, highly processed pet food with too many unnecessary carbs is the equivalent of junk food for your pet – and it may also raise her risk for heart issues.

含有過多不必要碳水化合物、高度加工的寵物食品於生物學上是不適宜的,等同於你寵物的垃圾食品 - 它也可能增加牠的心臟問題風險。

The sad truth is, far too many dogs and cats are eating a junk food diet their entire lives.

可悲的是,太多的狗和貓在他們的整個生命中都在吃垃圾食品。

Most dry pet food, or kibble, is a blend of poor-quality meats, byproducts and feed-grade vitamins and minerals. In addition, most kibble contains high-glycemic, genetically engineered (GE) corn, wheat, rice or potato.

大多數乾糧寵物食品是由劣質肉類、副產品和飼料級維他命和礦物質混合而成。此外,大多數乾糧還包含高血糖、經基因改造(GE)的玉米、小麥、米飯或馬鈴薯。

The pet food industry wants you to believe that carbohydrates are not only good for your pet but also that they’re an “essential nutrient.” Nothing could be further from the truth.

寵物食品行業希望讓你相信碳水化合物不僅對你的寵物有益,而且它們是“必要的需營養”。這完全不是事實。

Grains and carbohydrates have no place in a carnivore’s diet – they weren’t designed to digest them, and they can cause unhealthy spikes in your pet’s insulin, glucagon and cortisol throughout the day.

穀物和碳水化合物在食肉動物的飲食中沒有任何地位-它們不是可以被消化的,而且它們可能終有一日導致寵物胰島素、葡萄糖素和皮質醇的指數不正常。

Plus, if your pet is getting a significant amount of calories from carbs instead of from meat, it further lowers her intake of taurine.

此外,如果你的寵物從碳水化合物而非肉類中獲得大量熱量,那麼它會進一步降低它對牛磺酸的攝入量。

 

 


Why Commercial Grain-Free Pet Food Isn’t a Better Option

為什麼商業無穀物寵物食品並不是更好的選擇


Because a carnivore like your dog or cat has no dietary need for grains, and his digestive system can’t even handle them properly, it would be a better choice to feed him a grain-free diet, right?

因為像你的狗或貓這樣的食肉動物不需要穀物,而且牠的消化系統亦無法處理它們,所以餵飼無穀物食品是更好的選擇嗎?

Well, here’s what we’ve learned about commercial grain-free diets.

好吧,以下是我們對商業無穀物飲食的了解。

Twenty years ago, this option emerged as an alternative to the corn, rice and wheat that is widely used in pet foods.

二十年前,這個選擇作為寵物食品中廣泛使用的玉米、米和小麥的代替品出現了。

Initially, some veterinarians thought the switch to grain-free might be a good thing. However, within a few years, they started noticing some troubling changes in their patients’ health.

最初,一些獸醫認為轉換為無穀物飲食可能是一件好事。然而,幾年後,他們開始注意到寵物的健康狀況發生了一些令人不安的變化。

Many pet owners don’t realize it, but grain-free processed food isn’t carbohydrate- or starch-free. In fact, grain-free pet foods are high in starch and some contain even more carbs than regular grain-based pet food.

許多寵物主人不知道的是,無穀物加工食品並不是不含碳水化合物或澱粉。實際上,無穀物寵物食品含高澱粉,有些甚至比普通含有穀物的寵物食品含有更多碳水化合物。

Not only are veterinarians seeing weight gain and rising insulin levels in their patients consuming the alternative grain-free diets, but they are also seeing a rise in cardiac issues.

獸醫不僅看到了食用替代無穀物飲食的寵物的體重增加和胰島素水平上升,還看到了心臟問題的增加。

Whether they’re connected hasn’t been established. However, there is the potential that some of the ingredients in grain-free kibble may be creating dietary deficiencies – specifically in taurine and carnitine, two amino acids found primarily in muscle tissue.

它們是否有聯繫還有待確定。然而,無穀物糧中的一些成分可能正在導致缺乏營養 - 尤其係牛磺酸和肉鹼,這兩種氨基酸主要存在於肌肉組織中。

Some researchers think the high carbs in grain-free pet food may deplete taurine levels, or possibly make the nutrient less bioavailable or useable.

一些研究人員認為,無穀物寵物食品中的高碳水化合物可能會降低牛磺酸水平,或者使養份未能給身體使用。

Plus, the high-heat extrusion process used to make kibble creates byproducts that can cause a chemical reaction between the amino acids and carbs in the food. This may degrade the taurine and alter your pet’s microbiome, or gut bacteria.

此外,用於製造乾糧的高熱擠壓過程會產生副產品,這些副產品可以在食物中的氨基酸和碳水化合物之間引起化學反應。這可能會降解牛磺酸並改變你的寵物的微生物基因體或腸道細菌。

 

 


Two More Reasons Why Beans, Peas and Lentils Don’t Belong in Your Pet’s Food Bowl

豆類、豌豆和扁豆不應該出現在你的寵物的食物碗中的另外兩個原因


 Up until 20 years ago, pet food included primarily rice, wheat or corn. With the advent of grain-free food, manufacturers started replacing the grains with peas, lentils, tapioca, garbanzos (chickpeas) and other beans, and white potatoes.

直到20年前,寵物食品主要包括米飯、小麥或玉米。隨著無穀物食品的出現,製造商開始用豌豆、扁豆、木薯、鷹嘴豆和其他豆類以及白薯來替換穀物。

In essence, pet food became even more biologically inappropriate.
實質上,於生物學上來講,寵物食品變得更加不適宜。

Not only are legumes and similar starches very high in carbohydrates, they’re added to pet food in place of meat to boost protein levels. However, peas, beans, lentils and white potatoes are not acceptable substitutes for meat.

豆類和類似澱粉含有非常高碳水化合物,它們被添加到寵物食品中以增加蛋白質水平。然而,豌豆、豆類、扁豆和白薯並不是肉類的可接受代替品。

They are missing the amino acids your pet needs for her cardiovascular health, putting her heart at risk.

它們缺少你的寵物需要的氨基酸,從而對牠的心血管健康構成風險。

That’s not the only problem… Grain-free foods contain anti-nutrients, such as lectins and phytates, that can interfere with the absorption of taurine and other important nutrients.

這不是唯一的問題...無穀物食品含有抗營養物質,例如凝集素和植酸,這些物質可能會干擾牛磺酸和其他重要養份的吸收。

Another ingredient that shouldn’t be in your pet’s food is beet pulp. This unnecessary filler binds with bile acids in the small intestine, increasing their excretion. Because bile acids are needed to recycle taurine, beet pulp can lower your pet’s total body taurine levels.

另一個不應該出現在你的寵物食品中的成份是甜菜漿。這種不必要的填充物會與小腸中的膽汁酸結合,增加其排泄。由於膽汁酸是回收牛磺酸所需的,因此甜菜漿可能會降低你的寵物的整體牛磺酸水平。

In summary, there are three factors that make commercial grain-free diets inappropriate for your pet, and potentially put her heart health at risk:

總之,商業無穀物飲食對你的寵物不適宜,並可能對牠的心臟健康構成風險,原因有三:

  1. The high levels of starchy carbohydrates
    高含量澱粉碳水化合物水平
  2. The low levels of high-quality protein
    低含量高質量蛋白質水平
  3. The extreme high-heat processing methods used to create kibble and other commercial pet foods
    用於製造乾糧和其他商業寵物食品的極高熱加工方法

The best food you can provide your pet is a fresh, nutritionally balanced, grain-free, species-appropriate diet. Fresh, living foods have an abundance of enzymes, fragile fatty acids, phytonutrients and amino acids that are lost with any type of processing.

您可以提供給你的寵物最好的食物是新鮮、營養平衡、無穀物、適合特定物種的飲食。新鮮的活性食物含有大量的酶、易受損的脂肪酸、植物營養素和氨基酸,這些都會在任何類型的加工過程中丟失。

Because taurine is so important for cats’ and dogs’ overall health, I recommend supplementing all pets with high-taurine foods or extra taurine, no matter what type of food you feed your pet.

由於牛磺酸對貓和狗的整體健康非常重要,我建議給所有寵物補充高牛磺酸食物或額外的牛磺酸,無論你餵飼什麼類型的食物給你的寵物。

 

 


The Key Role of Antioxidants – Like Sending in the Reinforcements to Help Support Your Pet’s Heart

抗氧化劑的關鍵作用-就像派出增援隊伍幫助支援你的寵物心臟一樣重要


The good news is that, in spite of rising trends, there are things you can do to support your pet’s optimal heart health as he ages.

好消息是,儘管有上升趨勢,但在你的寵物衰老時,有一些事情可以做來維持並強化牠的心臟健康。

One of the biggest factors affecting your pet’s cellular health at every level is oxidative stress caused by excess free radicals. Free radicals can cause damage to heart cells and tissues.

影響你的寵物在各個細胞層面上的健康的最大因素之一是由多餘的自由基引起的氧化壓力。自由基可以對心臟細胞和組織造成損害。

Here’s how it happens…

以下是發生的方式…

Unstable free radical molecules with uneven numbers of electrons travel around your pet's body seeking stable molecules to bond with. When a free radical finds a stable molecule, it is able to take that extra electron and stabilize itself.

不穩定的自由基份子具有不對稱的電子數,繞著你的寵物的身體尋找穩定的份子來結合。當自由基找到穩定的份子時,它能夠帶走那個額外的電子並穩定自己。

However, in the process, it creates a new unstable molecule. As this process is repeated over and over, free radicals multiply, resulting in oxidative stress.

然而,在這個過程中,它創建了一個新的不穩定份子。當這個過程一遍又一遍地重複時,自由基會增加,導致氧化壓力。

Antioxidants have a neutralizing effect on free radicals, so they help protect your pet’s heart and other organs from the oxidative stress that can lead to damage.

抗氧化劑對自由基有中和作用,因此它們有助於保護你的寵物的心臟和其他器官免受可能導致損害的氧化壓力。

Feeding your pet antioxidants is like sending reinforcements into the battle against free radical damage.

為你的寵物提供抗氧化劑就像向抗擊自由基損傷的戰爭中派出增援一樣。

Studies show that using a combination of antioxidant compounds with complementary effects is more effective at supporting heart health than using just a single antioxidant compound.

研究表明,使用具有互補效果的抗氧化物化合物的組合比僅使用單一抗氧化物化合物更有效地支持心臟健康。

That awareness led me and my team to formulate Heart Health for Cats & Dogs, a unique blend of ingredients to support cardiovascular health. It includes:

這種意識促使我和我的團隊開發出了Heart Health for Cats & Dogs的配方,這是一種獨特的成分混合物,旨在支持心血管健康。它包括:

  • Antioxidants from multiple sources
    來自多個來源的抗氧化劑
  • Important amino acids, like taurine and carnitine
    重要的氨基酸,如牛磺酸和肉鹼
  • Other beneficial plant compounds
    其他有益的植物化合物

Let’s take a look at each of these ingredients…

Double the Impact – Ubiquinol and Heart Health for Cats & Dogs – The Perfect Combo for Ultimate Cardiovascular Support
成倍成效 - Ubiquinol and Heart Health for Cats & Dogs - 支持心臟血管的終極完美組合

 

I always recommend Ubiquinol, the reduced, active form of CoQ10, to support heart health in dogs and cats.

Dr Karen Becker 總是建議使用Ubiquinol,一種份量減少、活性形式的CoQ10,來支持貓狗的心臟健康。

 

Ubiquinol is a powerhouse, providing energy to the cells of every organ in the body, especially to the heart. It works as an antioxidant and provides powerful support for the cells’ mitochondria – the energy factories inside cells.
Ubiquinol 是一種強大的能量來源,為身體中每個器官的細胞提供能量,尤其是心臟。它作為一種抗氧化劑,為細胞粒線體 - 細胞內的能量工廠,提供強大的支持。

 

Our Ubiquinol for Cats & Dogs works synergistically with Heart Health, but in its own unique way.
Dr Mecola 的產品 Ubiquinol 與 Heart Health for Cats & Dogs 具有協同作用,但它們有各自獨特的作用方式。

 

While Ubiquinol provides support for the energy-producing mitochondria in your pet’s heart, Heart Health provides support for the heart muscle. It supports the electrical and physiological aspects of the heart muscle structure.
當 Ubiquinol 支持你寵物的心臟的能量產生粒線體,Heart Health for Cats & Dogs 則為心臟肌肉提供支持。它於電學和生理學上支持心臟肌肉結構。

 

I recommend Heart Health to support optimal heart health in all cats and dogs, but especially in these groups:
Dr Karen Becker 建議使用 Heart Health 來支持所有貓狗維持最佳的心臟健康,尤其是以下這些類別:

 

  • High-risk breeds (start when your pet is still a kitten or puppy)
    高風險品種(在你的寵物還是小貓小狗時開始)
  • Athletic and hard-working pets
    經常運動和工作量大的寵物
  • All cats and dogs over the age of 7
    所有7歲以上的貓狗
  • Any cat or dog with a heart health concern
    任何有心臟健康問題的貓狗
  • Any cat or dog eating kibble (and semi-moist pouched food)
