Waist to Height Ratio – Is your Stomach Too Large?
A new simple way to judge waistline size and health has emerged that applies to children, adults, and either sex. The goal is to keep your waist size to less than ½ your height. Just figure out your height in inches and divide by two.Read More: cardiovascular risk, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, Daily Protein Plus™, Daily Protein™, Leptin Control Pack®, Leptinal®, LeptiSlim®, waist to height
Diesel Fume Exposure Increases Acute Cardiovascular Risk
The particulate pollution coming from the diesel engines of buses and trucks can stiffen your arteries based on a single exposure. This poses a significant problem if you are already struggling with cardiovascular health – but it even causes problems in healthy people.Read More: cardiovascular risk, diesel, pollution
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid Lowers Triglycerides
Elevated triglycerides are a key cardiovascular risk and a sign of leptin resistance, as too many triglycerides in your blood block normal leptin entry into your brain (causing you to have excessive food cravings that tend to be out of control). A new study shows that R-alpha lipoic acid can significantly reduce the formation of triglycerides.Read More: cardiovascular risk, elevated triglycerides, leptin resistance, Lipoic Acid, R-Alpha Lipoic Acid, Triglycerides
Avandia is Killing Americans, FDA Negligence Comes Front and Center
It appears the new FDA leadership is not much different than the last administration, as the diabetes drug Avandia killed 304 people in the third quarter of 2009 while the FDA dragged its feet. The scandal is hitting a fever pitch as the New York Times and Washington Post feature stories on a bipartisan Senate investigatory report released over the weekend. It criticizes GlaxoSmithKline for failing to warn patients years earlier that Avandia was potentially deadly. “Instead, G.S.K. executives attempted to intimidate independent physicians, focused on strategies to minimize or misrepresent findings that Avandia may increase cardiovascular risk, and sought ways to downplay findings that a competing drug might reduce cardiovascular risk,” concludes the report, which was overseen by Senator Max Baucus, a Montana Democrat, and Senator Charles E. Grassley, an Iowa Republican.Read More: Avandia, Cardio Helper, cardiovascular risk, Cinnamon Plus™, Daily Balancer™, Daily Protein Plus™, FDA, Fiber Helper™, GlaxoSmithKline, Gluco Plus™, LeptiCardio Pack™, Leptin Control Pack®, Leptinal®, LeptiSlim®, Stress Helper®
Can High Good Cholesterol Be the Sign of a Problem?
The simplistic notion that LDL cholesterol is “bad” and HDL cholesterol is “good” has only one purpose in public health dogma: scaring people into taking toxic statin drugs to lower their LDL cholesterol. A new study shows that some people with high HDL cholesterol have increased rates of chest pain, heart attack, and death – but who?Read More: cardiovascular risk, Daily Super E™, Fiber Helper™, HDL cholesterol, LeptiCardio Pack™, Leptinal®, niacin, Pantethine, PoliBlue™
Zinc Reduces Inflammatory Risk Factors for Heart Disease
In a newly published study, 20 healthy adults ages 56-83 were given 45 mg of zinc every day for 6 months and compared to a control group of 20 healthy adults taking a placebo (no zinc). The zinc-taking adults had significant reduction in inflammatory factors that are otherwise known to directly contribute to cardiovascular disease.Read More: cardiovascular risk, Zinc
How Bad Fat Programs Future Generations to Be Obese
A new study indicates that one major factor causing today’s obesity epidemic is the garbage fat diet of Americans for the past century. The Western diet is almost void of omega 3 essential fatty acids. Instead, high levels of omega 6 oils, such as corn oil and soy oil, have found their way into the food supply. Scientists show that four generations of this high omega 6 oil/low omega 3 oil is adequate to change gene signaling in a way that creates offspring that are prone to obesity.Read More: cardiovascular risk, cardiovascular support, DHA, Exercise, metabolism, obesity, omega 3
