Heart HealthAccording to the American Heart Association, “Major risk factors are those that research has shown significantly increase the risk of heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease.”
Diabetes mellitus is one of the major risk factors. According to the American Heart Association, “About three-quarters of people with diabetes die of some form of heart or blood vessel disease.”
Lpa is an independent predictor of the risk of cardiovascular disease. Similar to LDL cholesterol, Lpa is a lipoprotein that contains cholesterol and can be damaging to the arteries. The Lpa is a tiny particle that circulates in the blood. These small particles of cholesterol are thought to be very damaging to the arteries if levels are elevated.
Res-Q HDL+ may help maintain Lpa at its normal level in order to help keep Lpa from rising. Niacin helps lower the secretion of apo B containing Lipoproteins and improves cardiovascular health. (more…)
Extra pounds could put your heart at riskNews: Just a little bit overweight?
You may think, “I am just a little bit overweight, so I am not at risk for health problems.” However, a recent news report shows that even just seven pounds can increase the risk for heart failure by 11%. Heart failure accounts for 300,000 deaths per year.
Which is more harmful “cholesterol” or “oxidized cholesterol” ?
Antioxidants help inhibit the oxidation process which makes cholesterol harmful to the arteries. In fact, the medical reports that the doctors read, report that oxidative stress has been linked to arteriosclerosis in postmenopausal women. The importance of antioxidants for heart and cholesterol health can not be underestimated.
Everyone worries about their cholesterol number, their LDL cholesterol number, since research established an association with LDL cholesterol levels that are elevated, much higher than normal, and increased risk of cardiovascular heart health risks. (more…)
Is elevated cholesterol the only thing that can harm arteries?
According to the British Medical Journal, studies now show a connection with arterial health problems and elevated blood homocysteine.
The American Heart Association also has information on homocysteine. Many medical journals now have information and studies on homocysetine.
However, in 1969, when Dr. McCully first suggested that homocysteine may be a new cause of heart disease, he was shunned, just as new original ideas often are. Now more studies have emerged and we can now see that certain vitamins play an important role in promoting healthy arteries and a healthy cardiovascular system by helping the metabolism of homocysteine, “a new possible cause of heart disease.” (more…)
Learn more about triglycerides
Scientific evidence demonstrates the effectiveness of the omega-3 fatty acids. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the results for the fish-oil group were “…triglyceride (-64 percent), as compared with the control diet.”
Res-Q customers have been able to continue to maintain triglyceride levels within the normal range with Res-Q 1250, our safe and pure omega-3 fatty acid dietary supplement.
Res-Q 1250 provides an omega-3 potency level that would be difficult to achieve otherwise. Our diets may be low in omega-3 fish. Even if we eat fish, it would be difficult to achieve the effective amounts of omega-3 used in the clinical studies and provided by Res-Q 1250.
I always recommend that you buy at least two bottles of Res-Q 1250 the first time you order and order more Res-Q 1250 before you have one bottle left. Taking the correct dosage, and taking it every day consistently is very important to health maintenance.
Res-Q HDL+, a unique, natural, No-Flush niacin, is the best form of niacin. Our customers have had health benefits from just 2 capsules per day: one capsule in the AM and one capsule in the PM. Some doctors recommend more.
The Res-Q product line offers a more complete approach to total cardiovascular health. Looking at multiple factors offers more ways to help maintain healthy arteries.
Do you know your “good cholesterol” number, called HDL?
According to The National Institute of Health:
“an HDL level less than 40mg is …a major risk factor…”
and
“the higher, the better.”
HDL “picks up” cholesterol in the bloodstream and disposes of it. Having more of it or having a higher number is a good thing because the good HDL cholesterol helps promote healthy arteries by trying to keep the LDL cholesterol from “building up in the walls of the arteries.”
Healthy Arteries: it is more than just cholesterol– the role of inflammation in arterial health
Research shows us that anyone maintaining cholesterol levels already within a normal range, can improve their cardiovascular health by adding Res-Q 1250, our pure and potent source of the omega-3 fatty acids to their cholesterol regimen and possibly add years to their life.
To help maintain healthy arteries, research suggests that maintaining a healthy inflammation level, is just as important as maintaining a healthy cholesterol level, especially in high risk populations and for those taking statin medications.
