LDL is not cholesterol! LDL is a lipoprotein made by the liver that transports cholesterol and other important compounds throughout the body, including vitamin E, carotenoids, and CoQ10. More than half of the people who have a heart attack have LDL levels that fall within the normal range.

Not all LDL particles behave the same. Large, buoyant LDL is nonpathogenic, while small, dense LDL is more closely associated with inflammation and cardiovascular risk.

Many heart attacks can occur with few or no warning signs. Grip strength offers insight into overall cardiovascular health, and even your hands can reveal signs that may be connected to your risk of heart disease.

Metabolic disease goes far beyond difficulty losing weight. It reflects problems at the cellular level, where cells struggle to produce and use energy efficiently. Mitochondrial dysfunction is closely connected with chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and type 2 diabetes.

Plaque, cholesterol, and calcium are only part of the picture. Many heart attacks and strokes ultimately occur when a blood clot blocks blood flow, making clot formation an important part of understanding heart disease and protecting long-term heart health.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats, and many people aren’t getting enough of them. Fish oil and cod-liver oil are great ways to boost your omega-3 intake. Cod-liver oil also contains vitamins A and D, making it a particularly nutrient-dense option. Food sources of omega-3s include fatty fish, sardines, grass-fed beef, organ meats, and eggs.

Two of the most important omega-3s are EPA and DHA. EPA can help reduce inflammation, while DHA supports brain health and cognitive function.

Omega-3 fatty acids help support the following:
• Dry eyes
• Dermatitis
• Arthritis
• Macular degeneration
• Arrhythmias
• High blood pressure
• Fatty liver

Omega-3s also support calcium absorption and may even help promote better sleep.

Does it seem like water isn’t quenching your thirst? There are two main reasons this can happen: You may not be drinking enough fluid, or you may have low blood volume. Low blood volume is the more common scenario.

Low blood volume is one of the most common causes of excessive thirst. Drinking more water can actually make the problem worse, leaving you with constant thirst.

To retain enough fluid and maintain healthy blood volume, you need adequate salt.

Low sodium and low blood volume symptoms include:
• Feeling dizzy or unstable when standing up quickly
• Persistent thirst, especially at night
• Fatigue, weak muscles, or cramping
• Poor sleep
• Headaches
• Feeling cold
• Constipation
• Dark urine
• Dry mouth and dry eyes

You need around 3000 to 4000 mg of sodium each day to maintain healthy hydration levels. This is equal to about 1½ to 2 teaspoons of salt per day. If you’re an athlete or physically active, you may need more.

Compare natural vs. synthetic vitamins, and why it matters here: https://drbrg.co/4e51Awf

Did you know an 18,000-person clinical trial involving beta-carotene and lung cancer was stopped early after participants taking the supplement had worse outcomes?

Beta-carotene is a precursor to vitamin A, but the beta-carotene used in the study was synthetic. Get beta-carotene from food sources for the best results and to avoid potential negative side effects.

Synthetic vitamin E may be okay short term, but with long-term use it can contribute to oxidative stress. Synthetic vitamin A can also create problems, including competing with vitamin D at the receptor level, increasing the risk of birth defects during pregnancy, and increasing the risk of bone fractures. Get vitamin A from foods like egg yolks and cod liver oil.

Other synthetic vitamins and supplements to avoid include:
• Pyridoxine hydrochloride
• Calcium carbonate
• Ergocalciferol

Too much iron can also be damaging to the body, so focus on food sources of iron when possible to avoid consuming too much.
