This is a question that has baffled most people and unfortunately the majority of doctors for decades. There has been so much conflicting advice over the past 50 years about cholesterol and the types of fats that are "Heart Healthy". This video course is designed to clear up all this confusion and give you the facts and the knowledge you need to keep your heart healthy for your entire life.
The Problem
The major issue right now is that Cardiovascular disease is the Leading Global Cause of Death. In fact, 1 out of every 3 deaths in America is from some form of Cardiovascular Disease. This is the reason why doctors always check your blood pressure at every annual physical or checkup. However, blood pressure is not necessarily the reason why people are dying and most doctors are pointing to Cholesterol as the "Bad Guy".
The Theory
Here's a quote from the Mayo Clinic to give you an idea of the Theory/Myth about Cardiovascular disease:
"While cardiovascular disease can refer to different heart or blood vessel problems, the term is often used to mean damage to your heart or blood vessels by atherosclerosis, a buildup of fatty plaques in your arteries.
Plaque buildup thickens and stiffens artery walls, which can inhibit blood flow through your arteries to your organs and tissues."
Scientists and Doctors have believed and operated on this theory for decades which is why almost all doctors recommend lowering your cholesterol with dietary changes or medications.
The problem with this theory about cholesterol and fatty plaques building up in the arteries is that this isn't actually the cause of cardiovascular death.
The Facts
Cholesterol is not the cause of Cardiovascular death in fact it's incredibly important:
• The adrenal cortex also produces sex hormones, including testosterone, estrogen and progesterone, out of cholesterol.
