Newsletters What Are Your Numbers? While 85% of women over age 50 say they are very knowledgeable about cholesterol, only one third know their cholesterol numbers. (www.pcna.org). We've been bombarded in the last decade with advertisements about cholesterol lowering medications like Lipitor, but here's the rest of the story - especially for women. Statin drugs (like Lipitor, Zocor & Mevacor) work to lower the Lousy LDL cholesterol. And they do it very well- if you can tolerate the side effects. The truth is however, that they only reduce the risk of heart or cardiovascular disease (CVD) by 30%. Think about that for a moment. If you're out to lunch with 10 girl friends, only 3 will have a reduced risk and the rest of you are out of luck!! Over the years, science has proven that combination therapy is needed to impact the entire cholesterol profile - the Good "healthy" HDL cholesterol, the Bad "lousy" LDL cholesterol and the Ugly triglycerides. When all three are addressed you can improve cardiovascular risk reduction up towards 80-90%. Now we're talking!! This is even more critical for women. Research has shown that not only do women need a higher HDL compared to men (50 vs. 40 respectively), but we also need to focus significantly on Triglycerides (TG). The famous Framingham Heart Study suggests that for women HDL and TG have a much greater predictive potential for CVD that total cholesterol or even LDL. The staggering statistics show that women with a low HDL and high TG have a 10 fold increase for CVD (J. of Am. Board of Family Practice, 2004). How often do advertisements share this info? Do you know your numbers? For every 1% increase in your HDL you can decrease your CVD risk by 3%. With every 1% decrease in LDL your risk decrease is 2%. Can you see the impact? Many pharmaceutical agents do not have answers for raising HDL more than 8-14%. Bios Life™ - the natural solution I have used personally and professionally for years, on average raises HDL 29% - naturally. Do yourself a favor this heart month. Get to know your numbers and decrease your risk of Heart/Cardiovascular disease. To living with vitality! Fondly, Lori
