LOWERING LDL CHOLESTEROL

The BAD ones

Initially, we wrote one article about Total, HDL and LDL Cholesterol. After reviewing the publication we realized it needed modification. Hence, due to the complexity of this article we decided to break it down into three articles, (1)total cholesterol normal values, (2)HDL cholesterol levels and now (3)lowering LDL cholesterol. All three have desirable levels. When you lower your LDL cholesterol, you lower your risk of heart attack and stroke. In fact, it's a better gauge of risk than total blood cholesterol. Generally, LDL levels fall into these categories:

Less than 100 mg/dL	Optimal
100 to 129 mg/dL	Near Optimal/ Above Optimal
130 to 159 mg/dL	Borderline High
160 to 189 mg/dL	High
190 mg/dL and above	Very High

It is important to remember that each body functions in its own way. A healthy level for you may not be healthy for your friend or neighbour. Discuss your levels and your treatment options with your doctor or health care provider to develop a plan unique to you. Your other risk factors for heart disease and stroke help determine what your LDL level should be, as well as the appropriate treatment for you.

If you are feeling smug because you have low LDL Cholesterol levels, it is still smart to eat a heart-healthy diet, get regular physical activity, avoid tobacco smoke and stress. Have your cholesterol levels checked every five years or as your doctor recommends.

Key points for managing good cholesterol levels are:

· Work with your doctor to create a prevention and treatment plan that's right for you.

· Make lifestyle changes, including eating a heart-healthy diet, getting regular activity, and avoid tobacco smoke.

· Ask your doctor how often you should have your cholesterol rechecked. If you have LDL (bad) cholesterol, you may also need medication.

· Become informed.

· Check out alternatives.

The number one person in control of your health is you. The Medical industry offers you the testing for total cholesterol as well as HDL and LDL. They provide tradition methods of lowering your LDL cholesterol. There are many NATURAL alternatives and remedies available today. I came across a new, FDA approved product that gives a safe alternative. Learning about this product allows you to ask informed questions. Go to our website if you have questions or comments for us.

Cardiovascular Disease and a safe solution

For those of you who read our articles or visit our websites, FolkHerbWisdom or Wholistic Living will understandand appreciate our passion for safe solutions for our health.

As an aside, the world "wholistic" is spelled correctly according to Canadian guidelines.

Recently we discovered a new product to help bring our total cholesterol levels down. For more information, I recommend that you visit the Nutronix International Product Page. There is scientific and comprehensive information available here. I do want to add, this product is FDA approved. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death not only in the United States but in the world. Every thirty seconds someone in the United States dies of cardiovascular disease; usually in the form of a heart attack. That’s 3,500 people every day! What’s even more astounding is almost all heart attacks are preventable.

NuCardio is the only natural, safe, and clinically proven product of its type to effectively combat this insidious disease by addressing the leading cause of heart attacks – high cholesterol.

Health officials estimate that more than 50 percent of all adults have unhealthy levels of cholesterol and 42 million adults have dangerously high levels.

Cholesterol is a wax-like substance that, over time, forms a plaque on the inside of the artery. For most people there are no signs or symptoms that this plaque is building up, which is why it is called the silent killer. Unfortunately, for millions of people each year, this plaque buildup ruptures, resulting in a blocking of blood flow. If the blood flow going to the brain is blocked, it is called a stroke. If the flow to the heart is blocked it is called a heart attack.

High cholesterol does not cause any noticeable symptoms. Often times the first sign you have a problem is either a heart attack or death.

Lower cholesterol level and you lower your risk of a heart attack.

Statin Drugs vs. NuCardio

The drugs used by doctors to treat high cholesterol are called statin medications and come with a long list of well-documented side effects. In fact, it is estimated that over 25% of the population cannot take statin medications because of their potential side effects.

Today billions of dollars are being spent by pharmaceutical drug companies to market statin medications, illustrating the size of this market. Because of the magnitude of the heart disease epidemic, the statin medications market is expected to exceed $30 billion in sales this year.

How many people do you believe would prefer a natural alternative to chemical medications? What if you had exclusive marketing rights to the only safe, natural alternative to statin medications?

Without question NuCardio is the most effective, all-natural alternative to statin medications for helping people reach and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Not only is it equally effective as statins at lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol, it is also three times more effective at raising HDL (good) cholesterol.

NuCardio

NuCardio is a unique formula of naturally derived ingredients. When taken as a drink, NuCardio forms a fiber matrix in the digestive system. This fiber matrix envelops nutrients and sugars as they are consumed, releasing them to the body at a natural rate. This revolutionary breakthrough provides the following health benefits:

• Ingredients are clinically proven to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol
• Eliminates energy spikes and crashes
• Aids in weight management
• Promotes healthy digestive function
• Strengthens the immune system
• Decreases triglyceride levels
• Cleanses the colon

Cholesterol Management

NuCardio combines four effective approaches to lowering harmful cholesterol:

1. Helps to block re-absorption of cholesterol in the intestinal tract.

2. Helps to block absorption of cholesterol which comes directly from food after digestion.

3. Reduces the cholesterol produced by the liver.

4. Enhances enzymatic breakdown and removal of bad cholesterol.

NuCardio lowers serum cholesterol by reducing the absorption and production of dietary cholesterol.

NuCardio can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) by up to 35% in only eight weeks. It improves good cholesterol levels (HDL) by an average 29% in the same eight weeks. It also reduces triglyceride levels an average of 40%. There is no known clinically proven drug or natural product in the world that offers these three combined benefits to help reduce one’s risk of cardiovascular disease. Unlike prescription drugs, NuCardio is a true cholesterol optimization product.
