If you're like me, you'll probably see at least one daily TV ad for Lipitor, the most popular cholesterol-lowering drug. Believe it or not, 16 million Americans now take Lipitor, the cost of each person is $ 900 - $ 1200 per year.
But, despite the increased use of statins, the CDC reports that the total cholesterol level in the United States has changed little over the past decade. So what happens?
The truth is that statins do not affect the real cause of high cholesterol. Worse, they often lead to:
Hormone disruption
· Problems with blood sugar
· Edema
· Mineral deficiencies
· Chronic inflammation
· Slow healing
· Allergies
· Asthma
· Reduced libido
Infertility and other reproductive problems
· Muscular fatigue and severe muscle breakdown
Why emphasizes "muscle fatigue and destruction"? The most common and dangerous side effect of statins is the weakening of the heart muscle through statins. weight loss "CoQ-10". CoQ-10 is an important energy agent that helps fuel every muscle in the body. And guess what ... the heart is also a muscle!
Why, then, do doctors sometimes put patients with cardiovascular diseases on statins? Yes, it is rather illogical!
What is HIDDEN cause of high cholesterol?
For many people, the real cause of high cholesterol is a malfunctioning digestive system. Yes ... just like IBS, constipation, diarrhea, gas, heartburn and bloating, high cholesterol can be a direct result of the digestive system problems.
What is this link? Think: "You are what you eat." Surprisingly, this statement is not true! You are not what you eat, you are what you digest. You can eat all the apples in the world, but if your body cannot absorb apples, nutrients, you will not get any benefits.
Problems with cholesterol can occur when your digestive organs cannot properly digest the fats or proteins that you consume. When your body cannot digest fats or proteins, your liver does not get the nutrition you need for proper cholesterol. This can lead to increased cholesterol levels.
Can cholesterol treatment fix the situation? NO, the statins do not affect these problems with the digestive system. In preparations with rinse holes only for this problem ... even if they work.
What can you do? For starters, here are 7 keys to improve your digestion and help lower cholesterol:
1. Eat onions and leeks, both of which have immunological properties.
2. Eat greens, not grain! Greens will give you a lot of fiber to ensure uninterrupted food in your digestive tract. Although grain also has fiber, all grains turn into sugar. It is known that refined sugars, especially sucrose, stimulate the clotting of blood platelets.
3. Take cod liver oil, an excellent dietary source of anti-inflammatory vitamin A, vitamin D and EPA.
4. Take omega-3 fatty acid.
5. Take evening primrose, cucumber oil, or black currant. These are sources of GLA, Omega-6 fatty acid. Your body uses GLA to create anti-inflammatory drugs.
6. Consume coconut oil and coconut products. Coconut oil protects against bacteria and viruses that can lead to inflammation in the arterial walls.
7. Consume garlic liberally!
Surprised to see coconut on the list? Contrary to popular belief, fatty vegetarian and herbal products such as coconut, nuts and avocados naturally do not contain cholesterol. Cholesterol comes only from animal sources such as egg yolks, cheese, butter and meat.
When all is said and done ...
Do not be afraid of cholesterol, because we need it in our diets. Cholesterol constitutes sex hormones, softens 10 trillion cells in our bodies, protects us from cancer, plays a key role in memory and much, much more.
You are not getting high cholesterol because you lack Lipitor in your body, so Lipitor will not solve the problem! The only way to completely restore any health problem is to correct the direct situation that caused the problem in the first place. In the case of high cholesterol, the problem of the digestive system may well be the real reason.
