Remove ALL Cholesterol Build-Up in Your Arteries - This Pet
Corrects Cholesterol (that one doesn’t)
Several
studies throughout the decades have proven that pets can improve stress levels and overall well-being.
But
can pets improve cholesterol levels?
Yes,
but only this one type of pet, says a new study published in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings:
“Innovations, Quality & Outcomes”.
The
authors wanted to answer two questions: firstly, whether pet ownership, in
general, could improve our cardiovascular health and,
secondly, whether dog ownership, compared to the ownership of other pets, could
improve our heart health.
To
investigate this, they consulted data collected by the Kardiovize Brno 2030
study.
This
study first collected the health and socioeconomic information of more than
2,000 people in the city of Brno, Czech Republic in 2013. It is meant to run
through several follow-up visits until 2030.
Using
the information from the 2018-2019 follow-up visit, the researchers examined
the information of 1,769 of the subjects and rated them on the American Heart
Association’s Life’s Simple 7. These include body mass index, diet, physical
activity, smoking status, blood pressure, blood glucose, and total cholesterol.
They
also interviewed all these participants and asked them about their pet
ownership status.
When
comparing pet owners with non-owners, it initially seemed like pet owners had
superior cardiovascular health, specifically with better diets, more physical
activity, lower blood sugar, and higher HDL cholesterol.
But
after running the numbers through the appropriate statistical measures, the
researchers could not conclude that it was the pet ownership that caused better
heart health, as education level and age seemed to have as big an effect on
both owners and non-owners as pet ownership had.
They
then compared dog owners with people who owned no pets and with people who
owned a pet other than a dog; here, education and age did not interfere with
the results.
Dog
owners were more likely to engage in physical exercise and to eat healthy
diets. They were also more likely to have a lower waist circumference and a higher HDL cholesterol score.
Therefore,
pet ownership, in general, may not be heart-healthier than non-pet ownership,
but dog ownership is certainly healthier.
Remove ALL Cholesterol Build-Up in Your Arteries - How Our
High Cholesterol Hurts Others
Okay,
we know that having cholesterol plaque causes stroke and heart attack. That, of course,
harms us… or worse!
And
we know that those who love us are going to be devastated if we suffer these
serious events.
But,
according to a new study published in The Condor, there is an unexpected,
completely innocent, little thing that may be harmed even more by our high-cholesterol lifestyles.
And
the results could be disastrous!
Because
of a relative lack of trees and foliage in our cities, city dwellers attract
birds by placing food in bird feeders. Larger birds also raid our trashcans and
dumpsters to survive.
This
led scientists to wonder whether our throwaway food is actually good for birds,
and a team led by Hamilton College researchers set out to find out.
They
tested the cholesterol of 140 crow nestlings in and
around Davis in California, in various areas, which ranged from rural to urban.
They found that urban crow-chicks had higher cholesterol than their rural
cousins.
To
discover whether this was due to the processed and fatty food that humans dump and
throw out for them, the researchers left McDonald’s cheeseburgers near crow
nests in rural New York.
When
they tested the cholesterol of these crows, they found that those who had fed
on the burgers had higher cholesterol than those who had fed
on natural food sources.
In
fact, their cholesterol was very similar to the cholesterol of the city crows, altogether
around five percent higher than that of the rural crows who ate naturally
available food.
This,
of course, doesn’t just reveal crow health. This shows how the normal junk diet
most people consume directly leads to high cholesterol in humans as well as
animals.
And
this is, of course, why so many people nowadays are dying from strokes and heart attacks.
Remove ALL Cholesterol Build-Up in Your Arteries - Third Type
Cholesterol (deadliest of them all)
We
are usually told that cholesterol comes in two varieties—LDL and HDL.
But
a new study in the journal Atherosclerosis reveals that health-wise, this is a short-sighted
way of looking at it.
There’s
a third type of cholesterol that you really
need to pay attention to because it’s just as bad as the bad stuff you already
know about.
Cholesterol travels around the body in your blood, in
packages called lipoproteins. We usually talk about two types, called:
1.
LDL cholesterol. This is transported in low-density
lipoprotein packages and is often called ‘bad’ cholesterol because it causes cardiovascular disease.
2.
HDL cholesterol. This circulates in high-density lipoprotein
packages and is often called ‘good’ cholesterol because it transports bad cholesterol to your liver, which breaks
it down for excretion.
But
now there’s a third category (well, it’s actually been known about for a long
time).
3.
Remnant cholesterol. This is transported in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (or
fat particles if this lipoprotein stuff is too much of a mouthful for you).
It’s another bad type of cholesterol because it causes cardiovascular disease
too.
Up
to now, scientists have ignored remnant cholesterol too much, because they
thought there wasn’t all that much of it flowing in our bloodstreams. However,
the new study has made them think again.
It
shows that it’s more abundant than was previously thought, which makes it just
as much of a heart disease risk as LDL
is.
The
authors looked at medical information from 9,293 participants in the Copenhagen
General Population Study. This is a survey of 140,000 people who receive free
health checks, investigating the causes of good and bad health.
They
used a new and advanced measuring tool called metabolomics to check the cholesterol levels of their
subsample.
The
new tool showed that the subjects had roughly equal amounts of LDL, HDL, and remnant cholesterol in their
blood, which came as a bit of a shock.
Remnant
cholesterol levels were the same as LDL levels, which means there was twice the
amount of bad stuff as they were expecting.
Previous
research has shown that remnant cholesterol is a serious risk for heart attack and stroke, so we need to keep
our remnant cholesterol levels as low as possible.

This post is from the
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 to conventional medication. Oxidized Cholesterol Strategy is a unique online program that provides you with all
the information you need to regain control of your cholesterol levels and health,
as a whole.
