Measuring and Treating Cholesterol

Measuring and Treating Cholesterol There are all-natural solutions so you can avoid taking statin drugs The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association released a guideline for the treatment of blood cholesterol in people at risk for cardiovascular diseases. Aorta Blood to be pumped to the lungs receive oxygen, first it enters the heart through the right atrium. Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters through the left atrium. Blood flows into lower ventricles, The Heart contracts and valves open, pumping blood around the body. Normal Artery Blood travels through the body, through a system of blood vessels, called the circulatory system. Blocked artery Cholesterol is fat-like substance. Your body needs some cholesterol, but it can build up on the walls of your arteries. Blockage of cholesterol plaque By the numbers 71 million Americans have cholesterol problems 33.5% Bad Cholesterol* 66.5% Normal cholesterol *Bad LDL cholesterol should be 130 mg/dL or lower 1 out of 3 adults with high LDL cholesterol has the condition under control. Reduce Bad LDL Cholesterol up to 18% A cholesterol formula should support your heart in five important ways: 1. It should reduce unhealthy levels of LDL cholesterol, before it has a chance to be damaged by free radicals. 2. It should help you make more HDL, the good cholesterol that keeps arteries healthy and flexible. 3. It must burn up the oxycholesterol that's already in your bloodstream to support healthy blood flow and improve your overall health, too. 4. It should promote a healthy ratio of good cholesterol vs. bad...and reduce total cholesterol levels. 5. It should help reduce triglyceride levels. Triglycerides are blood fats that also affect your heart health. Guidelines Here are three things you need to know about these new guidelines • First, the guidelines have moved away from achieving target cholesterol levels. Americans have long been urged to focus on their laboratory numbers. • Second, know your risk. What is taking the place of cholesterol levels? What should you do now? The guidelines are now focusing you on your overall risk of heart disease and stroke. Third, use medications proven to reduce risk. The understanding that simply improving cholesterol lab tests may not reduce your risk for heart attack and stroke has focused attention on the choice of drug therapy.
