Cholesterol

Where did come from the perpetrators of all - free radicals? The reasons are numerous and they are all related to the development of civilization. Not by chance the name of "free radical diseases" that emerged in the last decade, has united those diseases which earlier to be called "diseases of civilization" - from diabetes to cancer. Perhaps, it is difficult to find the disease, which is not a free radical. On the one side, appearance of this term indicates the progress of medicine, finally get to the bottom, and on the other side - on the contrary, since the name change has not yet affected to established methods of treatment, unfortunately.

The entire set of modern orthodox medicine drugs to enhance scleroid vessels represented by different types of plant poisons, designed for rapid poisoning of nerve networks and nerve endings that control muscle contraction, which regulate the diameter of blood vessels. Poisoned nerves not send impulses to the muscles, they relax, the lumen of blood flow increases, and the heart no longer required for such efforts to push blood through the clogged areas of blood flow.

Reducing the load on the heart muscle reduces the pain during a heart attack up to its complete disappearance. However, it depends on how vascular system is affected. At the same time there are at least a few alternative methods of eliminating the causes of cardiovascular disease, one of which - the dissolution of deposits of "bad" cholesterol - is mandatory.

Reducing "bad" cholesterol (LDL) is an immediate way to prevent heart disease. What can the representatives of "alternative" medicine to offer here?

Well, first, briefly about prevention, because it is a separate and very three-dimensional topic. The main condition of control over the multiplication of free radicals is the right and moderate meals. After all, the main factory of redox reactions is our intestine, and its balance is regulated by indicator acidity pH, which is different for different sections of the intestine. Slightly pH value is lost in one way or another - the process of oxidation of the food mass is violated, and as a result an avalanche multiplication of free radicals starts.

This does not mean that we should track our digestive process with a stopwatch, our body copes well with this itself, but as in any production line, quality and speed of work depends on the quality of raw materials. This means that food should be wholesome and varied, include enough fiber and water, the intestinal microflora should be stable, and digestive enzymes should be present in sufficient quantity.

But it will all be maintained and regulated by the body if it does not interfere, do not overload the intestines, liver and pancreas damn tasty, but unsuitable for the digestion delicacies at the expense of reduced calorie, but really nutritious food.

The second major source of free radicals, which is less amenable to control - is what surrounds us. That is air pollution, electromagnetic radiation from household and industrial sources, smoking, and, strangely enough, stress. After all, there is the view that all diseases are caused by nerves, and it has substantial merit. But the reason is ridiculously simple. You are ill not because chronic stress undermines your nervous system, but because while the blood is constantly highlighted in stress hormones, excess of which is as regularly dumped into the intestine. But it causes the death of beneficial intestinal bacteria, which provide to the normal level of pH.. That's it - full circle, and you say, the case is in the nerves!

Well, now about treatment. For those who are over forty, is quite difficult just to change the way of life, but it is still necessary clean the vessels and protect themselves from a heart attack. There are tools that help by integrated manner to clear cholesterol deposits in blood vessels, reduce the harmful effects of free radicals and reduce their production, until you bring order to your diet. One of them is developed in research laboratories of the company CaliVita International drug Cholestone.

Cholestone is a new supplement established to normalize the level of lipids in the blood of those who retain the familiar food. Cholestone reduces the risk of pathogenic processes leading to atherosclerosis. How and by what it does?

Flaxseed oil. Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid, which belongs to the class of unsaturated fatty acids Omega-3. Use of flaxseed oil as a supplement for medicinal purposes is suitable for most people, for the simple reason that most people in the western countries suffer from a severe shortage of Omega-3 oils. The fact that flaxseed is the richest natural source of Omega-3 oils, making it the obvious choice.

All cells in the human body are covered with a membrane consisting mainly of essential fatty acids in the form of compounds known as phospholipids. The relative lack of essential fatty acids in cell membranes make it virtually impossible to carry out the cell's vital functions, which, among others, include the processes of lipid metabolism.

We have conducted many studies on the action of Omega-3 fatty acids for lowering lipid levels in blood serum. These studies have shown only a slight reduction in the level of lipids in serum, despite the fact that at the same time the concentration of triglycerides significantly decreased. At the same time, Omega-3 fatty acids significantly improve the cleaning the intestines of cholesterol and triglycerides in the use of foods rich in fat and cholesterol. Fatty acids in composition of flaxseed oil also inhibit production of "bad" cholesterol in the liver.

Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine). Role of lecithin in fat metabolism is to accelerate the clearance of blood of cholesterol, since it is the basis of an enzyme that is responsible for the process of reverse transformation of cholesterol in the ester. Lecithin also prevents the deposition of cholesterol in the liver.

Garlic (Allium sativum). Garlic (and onions) contains numerous phyto-substances that reduce LDL and increase the concentration of protective HDL cholesterol, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Garlic also reduces the risk of blood clots. Extract of garlic can lower cholesterol levels by 6% and 5% - high blood pressure.

Chromium. Additional reception chromium is useful in many variances in health, primarily through its effects on blood sugar and lipid control mechanisms. Chromium in the Cholestone participates in the regulation levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in serum. It is part of the enzymes catalyzing the oxidation of fatty acids necessary for the transport of lipids through the cell membrane into the mitochondria, where they "burn out", resulting reduced levels of triglycerides and total cholesterol, while increasing HDL-cholesterol.

Fibers (apple pectin). Fibers improve the activity of the intestine in all aspects. Their role in maintaining optimal bacterial flora in the intestine is of paramount importance. Reduced admission of fibers associated with the excessive growth of pathogenic bacteria. A diet rich in fiber, promotes the growth of bacteria that reduce the intestinal pH (Lactobacillus acidophilus and others). Pectins (apple and citrus), gluten and other legumes fibers are a source of energy for cells lining the colon.

Additional reception of soluble dietary fibers very effectively lowers cholesterol levels. Pectin fibers combine in the stomach with water and create a jelly-like mass, giving the feeling of full stomach and, as a result, reducing the likelihood of overeating. However, the benefits of fibers go far beyond this mechanical effect. The use of fibers increases the control over the level of blood sugar and insulin production, reduces the amount of calories, which is absorbed by the body.

C and E vitamins. Two major antioxidant in the human body are vitamins C and E. Vitamin C is antioxidant of aqueous phase (water soluble). In physiological terms, this means that the effect of vitamin C stops at the outer surface of the cell membrane. Vitamin E, in contrast, is an antioxidant of the lipid phase, as is in the fat-soluble fractions of the organism, for example, in cell membranes and fatty molecules.

Protection of LDL from oxidation takes place mainly from two sources: the antioxidants present within the molecule LDL, and antioxidants, available in the extracellular fluid surrounding the molecule. Fat-soluble vitamin E is the most effective antioxidant contained in the molecule of LDL. Water-soluble vitamin C is contained in the extracellular fluid.

Vitamin E primarily reacts with free radicals, converting them into less harmful substances. However, this reaction transforms vitamin E in potentially harmful radical, which in turn is inactivated with vitamin C, restoring oxidized vitamin E. Vitamin C, moreover, strengthens blood vessels and reduces blood pressure.

Cholestone is a comprehensive natural formula that contains carefully selected ingredients providing powerful protection and / or additional treatment at an increased level of lipids in the blood.

Cholestone is a natural remedy for preventing disease and improving health. It helps to regulate the exchange of fats and other substances (proteins, sugars) in the body. It performs two important functions: reducing the amount of "bad" fats in the blood and protects the cholesterol and other lipids against oxidation by free radicals.

Other useful result of taking Cholestone are to reduce absorption of fat in the small intestine, as well as compensation fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This creates a feeling of satiety, but not overeating. Cholestone also helps normalize the functioning of the intestines and restore the normal activity of intestinal microflora.

Normal condition - up to 5.2 mmol/l;
   Condition of moderate risk - 5.2 - 6.2 mmol/l;
   Dangerous state - more than 6.2 mmol/l.

The level of "bad" (LDL) cholesterol, which determines the deposition in the vessels, narrowing them and therefore, insufficient blood supply to the surrounding tissue, should not exceed 3.4 mmol/liter. The level of "good" (HDL) cholesterol, which provides its dissolution and incorporation into metabolism, should not be below 0.9 mmol/liter.

Triglyceride levels above 2.2 mmol/l may signal an increased risk even if you have a normal level of cholesterol.

If you find a big difference performance of your cholesterol from those given us rules, do not panic, and lift the gauntlet thrown down. Reducing the level of "bad" cholesterol by 10% the risk of heart attack is reduced by the amount of 20 to 50%.

If you can do more to reduce cholesterol - from 25 and 30%, the potential exists even to reverse already started process of atherosclerosis.
