I quit statins 5 or so months ago. Chilesterol is up, no doubt that statins lower the number.
The issue is there is no proof that high cholesterol causes heart disease.
I think onky 25% heart attacks have high cholesterol
Hope I am doing the right thing. I second guess it often.
Don't second guess it. Cholesterol does not cause heart disease. Cholesterol is critical to good health.
Take Bergamot it lowers cholesterol just as well as prescription meds.
Also Berberine
So does cayenne…
High cholesterol can do damage which can lead to higher blood pressure but that presumes a person isn't active physically and also consumes a lot of sugars too.
Sumo wrestlers consume a lot of calories and cholesterol but they are also burning a lot of energy as they are active. And they definitely do not consume a lot of sugars other than carbohydrates. Carbohydrates do not instantly become fat when consumed as your body will use as energy if needed first. Also carbohydrates help with water retention and that is important for athletes.
This is why even the most dedicated athletes that cut still macro carbs in their diets. Carbs are necessary just as much as fats and proteins but it requires a balance and understanding your body.
thanks I am not active like an athlete, but I try to get cardio in 4+ times per week and some weight training too. I monitor my blood pressure it is a little high, but not too bad.
That is good and that is all we can do. We know our bodies best and what they respond too.
I am very sluggish if I eat white carbs but any other carbs and I am energized. And carbs do not instantly turn into fat so if you are active a balance of carbs, protein and fats is the key.
Some people do better with higher fat or protein intake. Or even go full carnivore so each person is different for their needs.
One of the stigmas of type 2 diabetes is that being overweight causes it. Being fat is a symptom, not a cause. Type 2 is insulin resistance. When the body does not use the insulin to transport the sugar into the cells, it is converted to fat and stored in the body. Insulin is referred to as the Fat Hormone.
