2 Widely Held Beliefs High cholesterol and saturated fat causes heart disease Polyunsaturated fats are good for your heart and foods like butter and coconut oil are bad for your heart Sources of dietary cholesterol like red meat and eggs should be avoided if you want to prevent heart disease Salt causes high blood pressure Cholesterol Your body needs cholesterol You can develop arterial plaque, even with low cholesterol Cholesterol that is too low can be bad for your health Dietary cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol Cholesterol must be oxidized before it will adhere to artery walls Really Low Cholesterol Isn t Healthy 2

3 Rethinking Cholesterol A Japanese Study found that as cholesterol levels went up death rates from CHD went down Okayama A., Marmot MG Int. J Epidemiol Dec 1993 Analysis of 1,134 patients with heart disease showed that low cholesterol was associated with worse outcomes and impaired survival rates in heart failure patients Elevated cholesterol was not associated with hypertension, diabetes or coronary heart disease. Horwich TB. Et.al. Low Serum Total Choesterol is Associated with Marked Increase in Mortality in Advanced Heart Failure. J Card. Fail Aug;8(4): Individuals with low cholesterol suffer from frequent and severe infections Individuals with high cholesterol had a lower mortality than the average population Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD, independent researcher, Magle Stora Kyrkogata 9, S Lund, Sweden Fats and the Heart The heart muscle actually prefers medium chain saturated fatty acids for fuel Butter and coconut oil are great sources of medium chain fatty acids L-carnitine helps the mitochondria burn fats Red meat is a great source of l-carnitine Salt Some people s blood pressure will rise and other s will drop after eating a lot of salt Most of the time it does neither A study in the 2006 American Journal of Medicine which looked at the reported daily sodium intakes of 78 million Americans and their risk of dying from heart disease over the course of 14 years, didn t show salt consumption to be harmful In fact, the more salt people ate, the less likely they were to die of heart disease 3

4 Natural Alternatives to Prescription Drugs for Heart Problems Statin Drugs Statin drugs lower the risk of heart disease, but only slightly At the same time they increase the risk of death from other causes They do not have an overall positive benefit and have numerous side effects Adverse Effects of Statins Carcinogenic in experimental animals in doses approximate to those given to patients Increases risk of polyneuropathy 14 times Depletes CoQ10, lowers antioxidant levels and depleting mitochondrial function Can cause Liver dysfunction Muscle weakness and pain Memory loss Insomnia and fatigue Erectile dysfunction 4

5 Statins and Co-Q 10 Lowering Cholesterol Naturally Eat good fats and use cholagogues to increase bile flow (cholesterol is used to make bile to digest fats) Artichoke Oregon grape Barberry Yellow dock Dandelion Increase dietary fiber Psyllium Apple pectin Oat bran Activated charcoal Keep Cholesterol from Oxidizing An extract of bergamot fruit has been shown to prevent the oxidation of cholesterol, while helping to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides and raise HDL cholesterol to create a more healthy lipid balance. Other antioxidants such as turmeric, green tea extract, grape seed extract and mangosteen fruit can also help Garlic, niacin and guggul lipids also help balance cholesterol 5

6 Co-Q10 Co-Q10 is responsible for transporting energy from one enzyme to another during cellular energy production Heart muscles have more mitochondria and need more Co-Q10 CoQ10 also helps to prevent oxidative damage It has well documented benefits for preventing and aiding recovery from cardiovascular disease If you have bleeding gums, you need Co-Q 10 Fat Soluble Vitamins Fat soluble vitamins help prevent fats and cholesterol from oxidizing Vitamin A Vitamin D3 Vitamin E Vitamin K-2 Good fats like grass-fed butter are good sources of these vitamins They can also be taken as supplements Omega-3 Fatty Acids Vegetable oils are high in Omega-6 EFAs which tend to be proinflammatory Adequate levels of Omega-3 EFAs tend to increase antiinflammatory activity Most people can reduce inflammation and heart disease risk by eating Omega-3 EFA rich foods and/or supplementing 6
