So, the question for today is this . . .
Why is it sooooo hard to get our "cholesterol" down to a "healthy" number???
Now . . . whether you're using the "new" guidelines of "200" . . .
Or . . . you're going with the "original" guidelines of "age plus 100" . . .
We Americans . . . are having a hard time getting it together . . . to lower our "cholesterol".
So, what's the "secret" to this dilemma in life???
Well . . . we're back to the "same old, same old" scenario . . .
We have an ailment . . . and conventional medicine . . . gives us drugs!!!!
But . . . is that really the answer to our health issues???
You see . . . we're right back to the SAME elements as with our "high blood pressure" . . .
Now . . . a few months about we spoke about the "liver" making 80% of our "cholesterol" for optimal health . . .
And that we should ONLY get 20% from the food we eat . . .
And in reality . . . we REALLY don't even need that 20% for optimal health!!!!
So, let's break it all down again . . . to better understand . . .
As we just discovered last week with our "high blood pressure" . . .
The hormone called . . . "Cortisol" is the MAJOR contributor to our "blood pressure" issues . . .
Well . . . our "cholesterol" issues are no different . . .
"HIGH" levels of the hormone called "Cortisol" . . . the STRESS and BELLY FAT PRODUCER . . .
"Increase" blood sugar levels and "trigger" the "liver" to produce more "BAD" LDL cholesterol . . . and "triglycerides . . .
While LOWERING our "good" HDL cholesterol . . .
Which all . . . makes us accumulate fat around the abdomen . . . our spare tire . . . and promote "plaque buildup" in our arteries!!!
Now . . . remember last week we discovered . . . high levels of Cortisol . . . INCREASE blood glucose (sugar) . . . leading to "Insulin Resistance" . . . and our High Blood Pressure issues . . .
Well . . . it does the SAME thing for our levels of "cholesterol"!!!
And tomorrow . . . I'll remind you of the major reason "Cortisol" levels are so high!!!
