<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There are many emails daily about "quick cures" to lower cholesterol, but the quick cure not only doesn't work quickly but also is only temporary. High cholesterol readings and heavy plaque buildup, causing high blood pressure, took years to accumulate, years in which many did not know the dangers. Today, the knowledge is there, but many continue to ignore it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In this modern technological world, one cannot feign ignorance of medical conditions, of statistics which prove the gravity of the American condition as it concerns Heart Disease. Americans fascination with Fast Foods, packaged meals, microwave cooking, and lack of beneficial exercise cannot be overlooked as the underlying causes. Yet, even though the public is becoming more aware of the dangers, even though the "fast food joints" are providing healthier meals for sale, the number of deaths per year due to heart disease is not decreasing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The solution is not found in a "quick fix" attitude, but instead in a proactive position to <b>balance</b> the food consumed daily. The balance wheel shown relates the 3 areas often forgotten...fruits, nuts, vegetables, and whole grains. Balancing a diet to insure that at least some of the 3 are eaten daily will start reducing high cholesterol naturally, but over time.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
According to the prestigious Mayo Clinic, there are three important changes or "tweaks" to an everyday diet that someone concerned with High Cholesterol should make: 1) Eat Oatmeal, Oat Bran or Fiber rich foods daily, 2) Fish and Omega - 3 fatty acids should be added in place of animal fats and fiber, and 3) Stock up on healthy fruits and vegetables. They also recommend daily exercise and stop smoking. While many will be able to change their daily diet, they will find the last two not as easy.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
There are many programs online to help one stop smoking, but exercising is something which must be planned by each individual based on their physical abilities.<br />
Exercising to help reduce cholesterol doesn't involve body building, weight lifting, jogging, or any other high exertion activities. It can be as simple ass a brisk walk every night after dinner instead of sitting in front of the television. The walk doesn't even need to be a long one....ONE MILE per night with all the other changes will dramatically reduce your cholesterol numbers. So.....why not avoid the couch after dinner and see what your neighbors are doing? Not only will you be getting healthier, but you will increase your social presence.</div>

According to an article in the Vancouver Sun, they accused " the media and even the Heart and Stroke Foundation of having been hoodwinked by egg marketers' propaganda. That led University of Surrey nutritionist Bruce Griffin, the author of the one of the impugned studies, to fire back, telling the British newspaper The Farmers' Weekly that Spence's article was "emotive" and "unbalanced." Griffin also condemned as "absurd" and "professionally irresponsible" Spence and his co-authors favourably comparing the cholesterol in a giant bacon cheeseburger to that found in a single egg". The trouble with this battle is that there hasn't been enough research that clearly shows the effects of both dietary cholesterol intake and saturated or trans fats on blood cholesterol levels. While some has been done, and the results of each testing seem to support each hypothesis, taking only one element (dietary cholesterol) and comparing several foods seems to be an unfair and incomplete comparison. The egg yolk, while high in cholesterol, has less than 2 grams of saturated fat, and the bacon cheeseburger, lower in cholesterol, has 45 grams of saturated fat. According to the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation , these fats "are mostly responsible for increases in blood cholesterol levels." And the battle wages on! So, what is the public, in any country, supposed to believe and do? The best course for anyone who is at risk for heart disease and high cholesterol – start by eating in moderation, eat those foods which are low in BOTH dietary cholesterol AND saturated fats. Adding natural supplements and foods proven to control cholesterol levels is another preventative to consider. To date, the war has expanded to the point where the experts are questioning whether high cholesterol or low cholesterol levels will cause heart disease, whether dietary cholesterol will raise blood cholesterol levels, and finally, the effects of both HDL (high density lipoproteins) and LDL (low density lipoproteins) in the blood stream. Researchers will always battle where the conclusions of their trials and tests differ from others, but the public doesn't need to be a part of it. Here, common sense and a more natural lifestyle of moderation in all things should prevail. <br />

Really?According to Cindy Mae, contributing writer for Yahoo Network,"The most common side effect of taking this type of medication is called rhabdomyolysis which is weakness and pain in the muscles. Polyneuropathy is also a side effect that causes weakness, tingling, and pain in the hands and feet along with difficulty walking. Heart Failure is one of the most dangerous and life threatening side effects. Dizziness is also a known side effect.<br />
There are also several side effects that are believed to be linked to cholesterol medications but it is not proven at this time. Cognitive Impairment is one of the believed side effects which is the deficiency in the ability to think, perceive, reason or remember. In every single study that has been performed on rodents given the cholesterol medications, cancer has appeared. Pancreatic Rot and Depression have also been linked to this type of medication."<br />
<br />
While many articles and studies are touting this pharmaceutical as prominently beneficial, even desiring that manufacturers make the dosages stronger than they currently are, little is written about these damaging side effects. Therefore, many are forced to accept this as their method of treatment WITHOUT KNOWING what is happening inside the body.<br />
Equally silent are many knowledgeable individuals whose expertise falls within the homeopathic and naturopathic fields..the world of plants, minerals, vitamins....of natural curative powers of nature. I cannot feel that everything is being done for people globally about the dangers of high cholesterol when writers point out the basic dangers and causes and continue to rehash the same material within a small area of the multitude of cures available in alternative medicine.<br />
<br />
Therefore, over the next few weeks, I will be discussing the different herbs, vitamins, minerals, and alternative methods, as well as their side effects, which one can use to make healthy changes to lower cholesterol levels. Certainly one method or formulation will work for anyone.<br />

Is soy good for you or should you avoid it? If you do eat soy, how much is OK to eat? There is research to support both sides of the issue....<br />
<br />
The downsides of soy are important to note, although these disadvantages do not apply to fermented soy foods, as fermentation seems to destroy the toxins in soybeans....<br />
<br />
Another issue regarding American soy consumption is attitude. "Soy" has become a buzz word in the food industry, where it is becoming more of a brand than a food. Manufacturers promote soy protein bars, kids' cereals with added soy, and soy protein mixes targeted for athletes as being "healthy." But just because a product contains soy does not automatically mean it is good for you as the soy branding is often a smokescreen for an otherwise unhealthy product containing sugars, additives, artificial flavors and other ingredients of questionable health.<br />
<br />
Not all soy products are created equal. Like 99 cent tacos, you get what you pay for. Manufacturers make it cheap, throw on a brand like "soy" and sell it as hard as they can. It doesn't matter whether it is good for you or not. To me, soy is like the professional athlete that signs an unlimited use licensing agreement for his/her name and suddenly finds their image on the side of a cigarette box.<br />
<br />
Consumers need to read nutritional and ingredient labels and not be swayed by marketing buzz words that grab your attention in the supermarket and have been taken over by the industrial food companies.<br />

Most diseases are rising at an alarming rate...One of the worst is cardiovascular disease. Here are some more sobering statistics: <br />
<br />
* One in 2.8 deaths in the U.S. was due to CVD in 2005. Some 2,400 Americans die of CVD each day, an average of one every 30 seconds. CVD claims about as many lives as cancer, lower respiratory diseases, accidents and diabetes combined. Idaho ranks in the top dozen states for the highest number of strokes. In 2002 statistics reveal two million babies were born with congenital heart defects.<br />
<br />
* High blood pressure accounted for 73,600,000 people in 2005, and is two to three times more common in women taking birth control pills.<br />
<br />
One hundred years ago CVD was practically non-existent. What's happening? For one thing, our diets are so nutritionally depleted that we don't have a chance at having a healthy heart. Here is some more statistics to support this: <br />
<br />
The average consumption of whole grains is less than half serving/day, fruit 1.1 servings/day; vegetables 1.2 svgs/day; nuts, legumes and seeds 1-2 servings per week; processed meats 2.1-3.4 svgs/week; sugar sweetened beverages 12/week (and up to 23/week for teens); sweets and bakery deserts 6/day (up to 9 for teens). (All above stats are from Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics - 2009 Update, American Heart Association). <br />
<br />
With the consumption of processed meats, sugar sweetened beverages and sweets ranking far above whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and legumes, is it any wonder we have CVD ? <br />
<br />
Further that with processed foods such as microwavable dinners, fast foods, chips, and other forms of junky foods - why are we even surprised? Heart disease is a nutrition-based disease, any way you look at it. We have replaced healthy whole foods and vitamins with synthetic, nutrition-less fakes. We can't build a healthy heart with non-foods.<br />

You Better Think Again!Researchers at the University of Michigan report that doctors rarely give their patients all the information they require to make informed medical decisions. Sometimes, when making a decision over a difficult diagnosis, the questions patients should be allowed to ask (and expect to receive complete information) are as simple as "what are my options?" However, the researchers at the Institute for Social Research found that patients hear far more from doctors about the pros than cons of medications, tests and surgeries. The researchers asked subjects about decisions they made with their health care providersover the past two years regarding some common medical issues such as screening tests for colorectal cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer; taking prescription drugs for problems such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and depression; and also the daunting decision to have surgery for knee or hip replacement, cataracts, or lower back pain. The study came back with some chilling results. First, the study found that 75% of the people interviewed did have to make such decisions within the past two years, making the importance of distributing information from health care professional to patient all that more important. However, doctors and nurses were far more likely to discuss only the advantages to certain treatments or procedures, while skipping the negatives. Dr. Michael Barry, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, said that "The study clearly demonstrates that people routinely make poorly informed medical decisions." <br />

Addendum note: Does one need a study to know that most doctors, no matter how concerned they are for their patients, really don't know about the prescriptions they are handing out, OR any natural supplements which would achieve the same results WITHOUT any Life Threatening Side Effects?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093436795754064950.post-14464037938335707952010-11-05T04:17:00.000-07:002010-11-05T04:17:09.637-07:00Buying Only Organic Because Its Healthier? Really?You're in a bit of a dilemma standing in front of the produce section of your local supermarket. In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that's labeled organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol. The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says "USDA Organic." Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and nonorganic foods exist. The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease. For example, rather than using chemical weedkillers, organic farmers may conduct sophisticated crop rotations and spread mulch or manure to keep weeds at bay. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt from this certification; however, they must follow the same government standards to label their foods as organic. If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards and that at least 95 percent of the food's ingredients are organically produced. The seal is voluntary, but many organic producers use it. Foods containing less than 70 percent organic ingredients can't use the organic seal or the word "organic" on their product label. They can include the organic items in their ingredient list, however. You may see other terms on food labels, such as "all-natural," "free-range" or "hormone-free." These descriptions may be important to you, but don't confuse them with the term "organic." Only those foods that are grown and processed according to USDA organic standards can be labeled organic. <br />

"If you look at populations of people," says Laurence S. Sperling, MD, director of preventive cardiology at the Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Ga., "the higher the cholesterol, the higher the level of heart and blood vessel disease." It's that simple. <br />
Yet, globally, we continue to ignore this dramatic problem. For whatever reason, for whatever excuse, mankind continues to be in denial of this growing and ever increasing pandemic. <br />
The headline is not for dramatic effect..it is a truth! One person globally dies NEEDLESSLY EVERY 34 SECONDS from heart disease, and the primary cause of this disease is HIGH CHOLESTEROL. All other conditions can be attributed to this core problem. <br />
There are too many natural solutions to high cholesterol to accept STATINS as the only accepted cure...the dangers of their side effects far outweigh the benefits. Yet, many will not investigate what this planet provides as alternative cures. Why? • If everybody knew about it, pharmaceutical companies couldn't sell their life-long maintenance drugs anymore. • Pharmaceutical companies suppress this natural discovery that, without the use of medicine, is helping people cure their Cholesterol completely. <br />

Dangers Of High CholesterolAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093436795754064950.post-74679976506932796112010-11-03T04:49:00.000-07:002010-11-03T04:50:46.602-07:00Garlic Is A More Potent Herb Than Just A FlavoringGarlic's uses: cholesterol lowerer, blood pressure reducer, blood sugar balancer, cancer combatant, fungus fighter, bronchitis soother, cold curer, wart remover, and immune system toner, and simply, a herb that enhances Mediterranean dishes. This remarkable herb is a member of the lily family and is one of the most extensively researched and widely used plants. Its uses and effects upon body tissue and various systems are extensive. Many will include garlic in their daily diet for health reasons, either in its natural (cloves) form or in supplements, while others will take it simply because of its flavoring. Extensive medical research has been done on this simple herb, and much has been written on its curative powers. Jennifer Brett, in Discovery Health writes "Garlic lowers blood pressure by relaxing vein and artery walls. This action helps keep platelets from clumping together and improves blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of stroke. Garlic also decreases the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, substances that increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Garlic's cardiovascular protective properties have been demonstrated in a number of studies, including a four-year clinical trial on people over 50 years old, who already had symptoms of atherosclerosis. Those who consumed at least 900 mg per day of a standardized garlic supplement had significant reduction of arterial plaque formation. Garlic contains a large number of unique sulfur-containing compounds, which are credited with many of this herb's medicinal actions. Did you ever wonder why garlic bulbs on your kitchen counter don't have a strong odor until you cut or crush them? That's because an enzyme in garlic promotes conversion of the chemical compound alliin to the odorous allicin. Allicin, in turn, produces other sulfur compounds: ajoene, allyl sulfides, and vinyldithiins. These sulfur compounds are potent antimicrobials and are thought to be the source of garlic's lipid-reducing and cancer-preventing effects." Add Garlic to your diet, naturally or supplemental, and start work on your high cholesterol today.<br />

One of the world's enduring stereotypes is the fat American with cholesterol-clogged arteries who is a Big Mac or two away from a heart attack. As a nation, we could certainly use some slimming down, but when it comes to cholesterol levels we are solidly middle-of-the-road. According to 2005 World Health Organization statistics, American men rank 83rd in the world in average total cholesterol, and American women rank 81st; in both cases, the average number is 197 mg/dL, just below the Borderline-High Risk category. That is very respectable compared to the top-ranked countries: In Colombia the average cholesterol among men is a dangerous 244, while the women in Israel, Libya, Norway, and Uruguay are locked in a four-way tie at 232.<br />
<b>Myth 2: Eggs are evil</b><br />
It's true that eggs have a lot of dietary cholesterol—upwards of 200 mg, which is more than two-thirds of the American Heart Association's recommended limit of 300 mg a day. But dietary cholesterol isn't nearly as dangerous as was once thought. Only some of the cholesterol in food ends up as cholesterol in your bloodstream, and if your dietary cholesterol intake rises, your body compensates by producing less cholesterol of its own. While you don't want to overdo it, eating an egg or two a few times a week isn't dangerous. In fact, eggs are an excellent source of protein and contain unsaturated fat, a so-called good fat.<br />
<b>Myth 3: Kids can't have high cholesterol</b><br />
Most people think high cholesterol is a problem that's strictly for the middle-aged. But guess what? Research has shown that atherosclerosis—the narrowing of the arteries that leads to heart attacks—can start as early as age eight. In July 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics released guidelines on kids and cholesterol that recommended that children who are overweight, have hypertension, or have a family history of heart disease have their cholesterol tested as young as two years of age. Children with high cholesterol should be on a diet that restricts saturated fat to 7% of calories and no more than 200 mg per day of dietary cholesterol, according to the guidelines. Fiber supplements and more exercise are also recommended. While the guidelines prompted a bit of an outcry from parents worried that doctors would be pushing cholesterol-lowering drugs for kids, a new study suggests that less than 1% of adolescents aged 12 to 17 would be considered candidates for medication.<br />
<b>Myth 4: Food is heart-healthy if it says "0 mg cholesterol"</b><br />
The Cholesterol portion of the nutritional label refers to dietary cholesterol, which is only one of the things found in food that can cause your cholesterol to go sky-high. (A bigger contributor to elevated cholesterol? A high-fat diet.) It's also believed to be the least important. Saturated fat (found in animal foods and dairy products) and trans fats (found in packaged foods) appear to have a far greater impact on low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the so-called bad cholesterol that causes atherosclerosis, than dietary cholesterol.<br />
<b>Myth 5: Cholesterol is always a bad thing</b><br />
When most people hear "cholesterol" they think "bad." Like most things in life, the reality is more complex. High cholesterol can be dangerous, but cholesterol itself is essential to various bodily processes, from insulating nerve cells in the brain to providing structure for cell membranes. That's why your body makes the white, waxy substance (about 75% of the cholesterol in your blood is made by the liver and cells elsewhere in your body).

A diet, including lots of fruits and vegetables, nuts, vegetable oils, low-fat dairy products, legumes, whole grains, and fish, has been shown to help shield people from heart disease and may also ward off certain cancers. But Dr. Christina Chrysohoou of the University of Athens and her colleagues said less information was available on whether the Mediterranean diet might be helpful for people who already have heart disease. To investigate, Chrysohoou and her team looked at 1,000 patients who had suffered heart attacks or severe chest pain while at rest or with only light exertion. They rated each patient on a scale of 0 to 55 based on how closely their eating matched the Mediterranean ideal. The study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found nearly half of the patients experienced a second heart-related event within two years after their original hospital discharge. But patients with the most Mediterranean-style diets were at 31 percent lower risk of suffering another heart attack or experiencing chest pain during the first month after they were discharged from the hospital. They were only half as likely as those with the least Mediterranean eating habits to have another heart-related event within a year, and nearly 40 percent less likely to experience repeat heart problems within two years. For every additional point on the 55-point Mediterranean Diet Score, a person's risk of having another heart-related event over the next two years fell by 12 percent, the researchers found.

The findings reveal beta-glucan affects LDL-cholesterol levels by increasing the viscosity of intestinal contents. Researchers followed men and women from Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom who consumed two servings of OatWell cereal daily for four weeks. At the end of four weeks, the study participants showed a 5.5% average decrease in their LDL-cholesterol levels. They also found there was no significant reduction in LDL-cholesterol in participants who consumed cereal that produced the lowest gut viscosity. The findings also revealed the extrusion process used to make OatWell cereals causes the beta-glucan to become more soluble and produce higher viscosity in the intestines. <b>Natural Products Insider, Oct 22, 2010</b>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093436795754064950.post-67303729691194960122010-10-27T02:30:00.001-07:002010-10-27T02:30:43.944-07:00Pollution Affects More Than Your SinusesThe fine particles of pollution that hang in the air can increase the risk for sudden cardiac arrest, according to a new study conducted by a team from Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center and The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research. Robert A. Silverman, MD, and his colleagues have been interested in the effects of ambient fine particulate matter on a number of medical conditions, including cardiovascular disease and asthma. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) keeps tabs on air pollution through dozens of strategically placed pollution sensors in cities and towns throughout the country. This data allowed the researchers to collect data on average 24-hour values of small particulates and other gaseous pollutants around New York City during the summer (when pollution is higher) and winter months. They then compared that data to the 8,216 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests that occurred between 2002 and 2006. Most people in the throes of a cardiac arrest do not survive in time for emergency medical service teams to save them. What they were looking for was simple: Were there more cardiac arrests on high pollution days than on lower pollution days? In the American Journal of Epidemiology, Dr. Silverman and his fellow researchers reported that for a 10ug/m3 rise in small particle air pollution, there was a four-to-10 percent increase in the number of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests.

Several studies have shown that beta-glucan changes the way the body’s immune system reacts by encouraging white blood cells to remain in a constant state of preparedness. This preparedness enhances the overall performance of the immune system and allows it to immediately attack invading organism before they cause any serious damage. The use of beta-glucan for health purposes is relatively new. Beta-glucan is often used for its cholesterol-lowering effects, its ability to control blood sugar, and as a supplemental cancer treatment. The Food and Drug Administration first recognized the health benefits of beta-glucan in 1997 when it passed a ruling allowing oat bran to be registered as a cholesterol-lowering food. The FDA recommended a daily dosage of 3 grams of beta-glucan for cholesterol-lowering effects. <b>Nutritional Insider, Oct 19, 2010</b>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093436795754064950.post-27562337079495403702010-10-25T04:17:00.001-07:002010-10-25T04:17:52.882-07:00Natural Cure #4: Red Yeast RiceRed yeast rice contains naturally-occurring substances called monacolins. Monocolins, particularly one called lovastatin, is believed to be converted in the body to a substance that inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that triggers cholesterol production. This is the way the popular statin drugs work. Because of this action, red yeast rice products containing a higher concentration of monocolins have been developed and marketed as a natural product to lower cholesterol. The problem is that the primary ingredient in these supplements, lovastatin, is also the active pharmaceutical ingredient in prescription drugs for high cholesterol such as Mevacor. In fact, lovastatin was originally derived from another type of red yeast called Monascus ruber. When the FDA discovered that red yeast rice contained a substance found in prescription drugs, it banned red yeast rice products containing lovastatin. In August, 2007, the FDA issued a warning that several red yeast rice products still contained lovastatin. The manufacturers of these products have since recalled these products. Yet studies by UCLA Medical have shown that the Red Yeast products on the market today are still effective in lowering LDL levels.<br />

The main ingredient in Policosanol is octacosanol, but as the name implies, Policosanol is actually a mixture of many (hence the prefix "poli") alcohols, including hexacosanol, triacontanol and others. Patients who have taken Policosanol have shown increased levels of high-density lipoprotein or HDL, the "good" cholesterol. HDL actually helps carry cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver, where it is processed and excreted from the body. Policosanol has been used by millions of people in other countries and it appears to normalize cholesterol as well or better than cholesterol lowering drugs, without side effects. Efficacy and safety have been proven in numerous clinical trials. A large patient group of 437 patients in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study received either Policosanol or a placebo once a day for twelve weeks. The patients who had been given Policosanol showed a 25% reduction in LDL cholesterol, a 17% reduction in total cholesterol, and a 28% increase in HDL cholesterol. The placebo group showed no reduction in total cholesterol. Policosanol seems to be effective at lowering cholesterol on both men and women and in all age groups. With so many uses, a wealth of clinical research and a history of safe and effective use in patients, it is easy to see why Policosanol is one of the most exciting nutritional finds in some time.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093436795754064950.post-67427843063293156912010-10-23T04:56:00.001-07:002010-10-23T04:56:23.196-07:00Natural Cure #2: Beta-SitosterolBeta-sitosterol is a substance found in plants. Chemists call it a “plant sterol ester.” It is found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. It is used to make medicine. Beta-sitosterol is used for heart disease and high cholesterol. It is also used for boosting the immune system and for preventing a variety of other diseases. In foods, beta-sitosterol is added to some margarines (Take Control, for example) that are designed for use as part of a cholesterol-lowering diet and for preventing heart disease. The federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows manufacturers to claim that foods containing plant sterol esters such as beta-sitosterol are for reducing the risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). This rule is based on the FDA’s conclusion that plant sterol esters may reduce the risk of CHD by lowering blood cholesterol levels. Although there is plenty of evidence that beta-sitosterol does lower cholesterol levels, there is no proof that long-term use actually lowers the risk of developing CHD.

Guggul is also referred as guggul gum, guggal, gugglesterone, guggul, gugulu and gum gugal. Guggul plays a major role in the traditional herbal medicine of India. It is often combined with other herbs and used in the treatment of arthritis, skin diseases, pains in the nervous system, obesity, digestive problems, infections in the mouth, and menstrual problems. The mukul myrrh tree is closely related to the Commiphora Mukul tree (or common myrrh). Myrrh was one of the first medicines with hieroglyphic notation of use during ancient Egyptian times depicting its many uses. With such a close relation, many scientists believe that Guggul may have many of the same properties as Myrrh as even their ancient status is similar. Indian researchers discovered an ancient Sanskrit medical text, Sushruta Samhita, in the 1960s. This classical medical text prescribed guggul for the treatment of medoroga, a disease that closely resembles the symptoms of high cholesterol and hardening of the arteries. Indian scientists subsequently tested animals and found that guggul gum both lowered cholesterol levels and protected against the development of hardening of the arteries. These trials culminated in a pilot study that examined guggul's effectiveness in humans. Although the evidence that it works remains preliminary, the Indian government was sufficiently impressed to approve guggul as a treatment for high cholesterol.<b><br />

Herbal supplements have gained a lot of popularity in the past few years and have been approved and recommended by doctors. This article will look at some effective natural cholesterol supplements. It is a known fact that people suffering with high cholesterol are at increased risk of coronary heart disease. Taking natural supplements will not only lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but may also help improve the health of your cardiovascular system. Studies have shown that garlic extract, flax-seed and turmeric tablets have shown to be helpful in on patients with high cholesterol levels. One study showed that patients treated with garlic consistently showed a greater decrease in total cholesterol levels compared with those receiving placebo.1 Fish oil capsules are one of the top-selling products on the market today for one reason; they are effective in maintaining good health. Fish oil is loaded with essential fatty acids known as omega 3, which promotes a healthy heart. Research has shown that triglyceride (fat deposit) levels can be significantly lowered by taking fish oil supplements.2 People who follow a Mediterranean-style diet tend to have HDL or “good” cholesterol suggesting that fish oil can help increase the good cholesterol in your blood. You can take up to 2000 milligram of these capsules every day as part of a healthy diet. Of course, always consult your doctor starting on a dietary supplement. Artichoke extracts can also help the health of the heart according to extensive studies. According to an article on Prevention®, in one a German study, subjects were given 1800 milligrams of dry artichoke extract.

This study found that the death rate among people who adhered most closely to a low-carb regimen was 12 percent higher over about two decades than with those who consumed diets higher in carbohydrates. But death rates varied, depending on the sources of protein and fat used to displace carbohydrates. Low-carb eaters who drew more protein and fat from vegetable sources like beans and nuts were 20 percent less likely to die over the period than people who ate a high-carbohydrate diet. But low-carb dieters who got most of their protein and fat from animal sources like red and processed meats were 14 percent more likely to die of heart disease and 28 percent more likely to die of cancer, the analysis found. The study, published Sept. 7 in Annals of Internal Medicine, analyzed data from more than 85,000 healthy women aged 34 to 59 who participated in the Nurses’ Health Study, and almost 45,000 men aged 40 to 75 who took part in the Health Professionals’ Follow-Up Study. Participants filled out questionnaires every four years. “If people want to follow a low-carb diet, this provides some guidance,” said the paper’s lead author, Teresa T. Fung, an associate professor of nutrition at Simmons College in Boston. “They should probably eat less meats.” New York Times Health, Oct 8, 2010Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093436795754064950.post-27865281848094359692010-10-18T03:38:00.001-07:002010-10-18T03:38:56.454-07:00Cholesterol: The Good, The Bad, The UglySeptember 11,2010 -- Dr. Lori Mosca was on a mission last week to educate the public how to prevent cardiovascular disease in Connecticut. She was on public radio and on CPTV public television. She is fairly unique in that as a highly trained M.D. she espouses the practice of people "knowing their numbers" and make early changes to lifestyle to avert future risk factors that could lead to heart disease. Why is this all important? "Because," she said, "Heart attacks are the number one killer of women". In many cases the very first episode will actually kill the patient. So, her mission is to educate the public, particularly women, on knowing when they're at risk. She adopts an approach to prevention as a means to delay having to treat heart disease later on. Dr. Mosca's credentials are place her in the category of a national expert on this subject. She is the Director of Preventive Cardiology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, an Associate Professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the founder and Director of the Columbia Center for Heart Disease Prevention in midtown Manhattan.Posted by FitcomHealth.com, Oct 12, 2010Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09702816867762128636noreply@blogger.com0
