Silymarin Protects Against Cholesterol Forming Plaque
Silymarin (milk thistle) is widely acknowledged as a nutrient powerhouse for protecting your liver and for helping your liver clear toxins. It also possesses antioxidant activity that was explored in detail in relationship to mechanisms that protect your arteries against plaque formation.Read More: Milk Thistle, plaque, Silymarin
The Amazing New World of HDL Cholesterol
The new scientific toolbox is being used to poke around in HDL’s house, only to find good news and bad news. HDL has been labeled “good” cholesterol because it helps remove damaged LDL cholesterol from your arteries and has generally been associated with having less cardiovascular disease. It is now coming to light that the quality of the HDL you have is as important, if not more important, than the amount of HDL you have.Read More: HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, Pantethine, PhosphatidylSerine PS, plaque
Energizing B Vitamins Help Stop Plaque Formation
A new study shows that healthy people can take higher levels of B vitamins to prevent the initial formation of plaque in their arteries.Read More: B Vitamins, Daily Energy Multiple Vitamin™, homocysteine, plaque, Super B Complex
DHA Stabilizes Carotid Artery Plaque
The plaque along the walls of arteries is itself a biologically active. If macrophages are cranking out inflammation then the plaque takes on various features associated with unstable plaque on the verge of coming loose and causing a stroke. A new study of human carotid artery plaque has found that those with the most unstable plaque have the least amount of DHA in the plaque.Read More: carotid artery, DHA, plaque
Magnesium Deficiency Sets the Stage for Plaque in the Arteries
A new animal study shows that low levels of magnesium promotes plaque formation in the arteries. During the study period magnesium deficient animals developed significantly more plaque in their aortas.Read More: atherosclerosis, magnesium, plaque
Are Low-Grade Infections a Major Cause of Heart Disease?
British researchers have demonstrated a key gene signal involved with the formation of plaque in arteries as well as that plaque rupturing and causing a stroke. When the gene is turned on then inflammation, arterial damage, and plaque formation follow. When the gene is blocked, none of these problems happen. Unfortunately, the gene is part of your natural defense against infection.Read More: heart disease, low-grade infection, Noni, plaque, TLR-2
The Liver as a Source of Alzheimer’s Plaque
Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s are associated with an abnormal accumulation of amyloid beta protein fragments that form plaque in the brain. Amyloid beta is made in your brain and taken down as part of normal function. It is well understood that excessive brain inflammation can lead to excessive amyloid beta production. A new study shines another light on this issue, proving that excess amyloid beta can also be produced by your liver and travel to your brain, contributing to the problem.Read More: Alzheimer's, amyloid beta protein, liver inflammation, plaque
