Inflammation and your Heart
We are repeatedly told how "bad" cholesterol is, or the ratio of good and bad cholesterol, but statistics show that 50% of people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol. Cholesterol does not cause heart attacks. However, all people who have heart attacks have elevated homocysteine levels. This is the true culprit. So homocysteine is a much smarter marker for heart attacks and this is what should be tested to determine whether someone is in a danger zone. Knowledge is power, so if you have high homocysteine levels, and consistently high blood pressure you then can launch a campaign to naturally bring your blood pressure down and strengthen your heart.
Why are hypertension and arteriosclerosis dangerous? When the pressure of the blood on the walls of vessels is high it can be very dicey, especially for vessels going through the brain, heart and kidneys. It is under these conditions that arteriosclerosis can develop – or plaque and cholesterol build up on the walls of arteries veins and capillaries. For women especially, weight gain around the abdominal area triggers an inflammatory response and significantly elevates the risk of heart disease. So burning fat around your belly is not simply a vanity issue anymore, it could be a life saver
