A Bombshell Drops on Cholesterol Medication’s Glass House
It had to happen sooner or later. On October 3, 2006, after extensive review of all studies relating to cholesterol-lowering benefits by statin drugs, scientists reporting in the Annals of Internal Medicine pulled the rug out from under the current government-sanctioned cholesterol levels for reducing cardiovascular disease. Their conclusion, “current clinical evidence does not demonstrate that titrating lipid therapy to achieve proposed low LDL cholesterol levels is beneficial or safe.”Read More: cardiovascular support, cholesterol, statins
Fish Oil Improves Circulation in Healthy People
The essential fatty acids in fish oil, especially DHA, are now recognized as an excellent cardiovascular support nutrient. A new study in healthy younger men and women shows that fish oil at a small dose of 1 gram per day was able to improve the function of their arteries, helping them dilate easier so blood could flow better. It also helped reduce their resting heart rate, meaning the heart did not have to work as hard to get its job done.Read More: cardiovascular support, DHA, essential fatty acids, family history, fish oil, LeptiCardio Pack™, Leptinal®, multiple vitamin, nutrients, Super EFA
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
DHA is Vital to Cardiovascular Wellness
Thousands of studies have shown the critical function of fish oil--in particular it’s most important essential fatty acid DHA--to overall cardiovascular well-being at any age. DHA is the most deficient nutrient in the 21st Century diet, and good food sources of it like fatty fish, are often contaminated with mercury or other toxins. Therefore, a dietary supplement containing a toxin-free molecularly distilled DHA is invaluable for getting safe amounts of this vital heart-friendly nutrient. February is American Heart Month so it is worth summarizing some of the key DHA findings of the past year as they relate to cardiovascular health.Read More: cardiovascular support, DHA, fish oil, HDL cholesterol, heart, inflammation, LDL cholesterol, Triglycerides
Age-Associated Magnesium Deficiency Linked to Stiff Arteries
A new study demonstrates that in individuals age 55 and over, the lack of magnesium is an independent risk factor for stiff arteries. Magnesium deficiency is a common problem in Americans.Correcting this deficiency could have a major impact on cardiovascular health and help to correct the source of problems such as high blood pressure.Read More: arteries, cardiovascular support, high blood pressure, magnesium, stiff arteries
