Lower LDL Cholesterol
and Prevent Heart Attack - The Damage Christmas Does to Your Cholesterol
An
article has just appeared in the journal Atherosclerosis that directly investigated the effects of our
end-of-year festivities on cholesterol levels.
And
the results were shocking.
Worst
of all, this is not just about the holidays. Instead, you need to be aware of
this information all year around.
Researchers
from Copenhagen University Hospital and the University of Copenhagen identified
25,764 people from the Copenhagen General Population Study and compared their
total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol scores, which were taken at various points throughout
the year.
In
January, their subject’s cholesterol
was 20 percent higher than it was during June and July, and their risk of
having high cholesterol was found to be six times greater at that point than
the rest of the year.
Unbelievably,
at the beginning of January, 77 percent of the subjects had high LDL
cholesterol and 89 percent of them had high total cholesterol.
This
obviously meant that people are a spectacular amount of unhealthy foods during
the holidays. And that these foods will directly and immediately spike your
cholesterol level.
So,
if your cholesterol level is already high, take particular care not to rocket
it into a lethal level during the festive holidays.
You
should also avoid having your cholesterol measured in January, as this may
cause a false alarm as compared to taking it at any point during the rest of
the year.
But
there is some good news:
You can normalize your cholesterol in a few days by avoiding ONE hidden ingredient that you didn’t even know you were consuming. I’ll explain this in details here…

Lower LDL Cholesterol
and Prevent Heart Attack - This Sleep Habit Doubles Heart Attack Risk
You
know that eating well, exercising, not smoking and other healthy lifestyles are
very important in order to avoid heart attacks and stroke, along with keeping your cholesterol and blood pressure at bay.
Now
a new study, presented at The European Society of Cardiology annual congress
has revealed a factor that is even more important.
It’s
a specific sleep habit.
Apparently,
sleeping the wrong way will harden your arteries and can double your risk of
having a stroke or heart attack.
Swedish
scientists found that middle-aged men who slept five hours or less a night had
double the risk of heart disease as compared to those who slept seven or eight
hours.
In
1993, 798 50-year-old men from Gothenburg agreed to participate in the study.
They
underwent a medical examination and completed questionnaires regarding their
health and sleeping habits.
Using
this information, the scientists divided them into groups that had five or less sleeping hours, six sleeping hours, seven to eight sleeping hours,
and those that had more than eight hours of sleep.
The
researchers then observed them for 21 years to see who would suffer
cardiovascular events.
Those
who slept for five or less hours per night had a doubled risk of suffering a
major cardiovascular event when compared with those who slept between seven and
eight hours.
This
group also had a considerably higher risk of high blood pressure, obesity, and
diabetes.
If you have trouble sleeping, here is a simple technique that will knock you out in 10 minutes – and keep you asleep for 8 hours…
And if your cholesterol is too high, it’s actually quite easy to normalize it painlessly, simply by cutting out this one ingredient you didn’t even know you were consuming…
Lower LDL Cholesterol
and Prevent Heart Attack - Increasing Heart Attack Risk by Working Out
Diet
and exercising. That’s the two things you have always been told to do to
prevent strokes and heart attacks, along with lowering blood pressure and cholesterol.
Slow
down! Says a new study published in the Mayo
Clinic Proceedings.
Exercising can actually increase your risk of dying from heart attack by 160%…
…
if done in the wrong way.
In
this study, the researchers followed 2,377 people who have already had a
cardiac event in the preceding 10 years to explore the effects of different
exercise patterns on the likelihood that they would die of another cardiac
event.
Here is what they found:
•
Those who did the metabolic equivalent of a 1.07 to 1.8 km run every day
reduced their risk of cardiac death by 21%.
•
Those who did the equivalent of a 1.8 to 3.6 km run reduced their risk of
cardiac death by 24%.
•
Those who did the equivalent of a 3.6 to 5.4 km run reduced their risk of
cardiac death by 50%.
•
Those who did the equivalent of a 5.4 to 7.2 km run reduced their risk of
cardiac death by 63%.
• BUT, those who did the equivalent of a run longer than 7.2
km INCREASED their risk of cardiac death by 160%.
So,
while more exercise is better than a small amount of it, there is a point at
which too much exercise becomes a heart risk.
This
study used people with that had previous cardiac events as its subjects.
However, the findings seem to be consistent with healthy individuals as well.
The safest, easiest and most effective
exercise to lower blood pressure would be the simple blood pressure exercises found here…
And if you need to get your cholesterol under control, all it will take is the cutting out this one ingredient you didn’t even know you were consuming…

Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy Program. It was created by Scott Davis. Because
he once suffered from high cholesterol, so much so that he even had a severe
heart attack. This is what essentially led him to finding healthier alternatives
