Would you like a Healthy Heart?

Here is a sneak peak on the first workshop of the Healthy Hearts Program

In Cardiovascular disease for decades we have been looking for 5 risk factors
· High cholesterol
· High blood pressure
· Diabetes Mellitus
· Obesity
· Smoking
We have been told if you address these 5 factors you are safe and sound from a heart attack.

New research has shown this is not correct
· Abnormal cholesterol levels are NOT the primary cause or indicators of coronary heart disease
· Consuming a high cholesterol diet or eating eggs does NOT significantly raise blood pressure levels for most people.
· All LDL ‘bad cholesterol’ is not harmful and not all HDL ‘good cholesterol’ is protective.
· The blood pressure reading taken in your doctor’s office may not be an accurate measure of your true blood pressure
· A fasting morning blood sugar reading of 99mg/dl or 5.5mmol/L may not be safe or normal
· A normal body weight does not ensure heart health.

If we look at the role of cholesterol in heart health we know;
· You may have high total cholesterol and high LDL levels but have relatively healthy arteries
· You may have normal total cholesterol and normal LDL but have very unhealthy arteries.
· You may have high levels HDL yet still have an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease.

The real culprits and the elements that we should be trying to control are;
· Inflammation
· Oxidative stress
· Autoimmune damage
These are the game changes. These are the three factors we address in the Healthy Heart program and these are the three factors that we can now measure in testing.
