Leading risk factors for heart disease and stroke are high blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and secondhand smoke exposure, obesity, unhealthy diet, and physical inactivity.
#doctor #health #healthy

The fact is, elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL), the bad cholesterol, is a major cause of heart disease. LDL causes the build-up of fatty deposits within your arteries, reducing or blocking the flow of blood and oxygen your heart needs. This can lead to chest pain and heart attack.

    Why is no one talking about inflammation? Cholesterol will pass through smooth vessels, but builds up on the walls of porous , inflamed vessels. I'm a nurse who had a patient on statins for years ...still had bypass, and was placed on the liver transplant list due to "pharmacology induced liver failure" caused by statins.
  • @johnnyjoe0515
    my doctor tried to refuse to check my cholesterol levels because i refuse to take a statin. oh, i mean my EX doctor.
  • My cardiologist just restarted me on a statin, based on my lipid profile. I had discontinued it because of myalgias. I've got the myalgias back so I am going to stop it. This is a great explanation. I am a retired general internist, and I was generally skeptical of statins when I was in practice, especially for primary prevention. Our toxic food environment is the elephant in the room.

    I am almost 80. I don’t care what my readings are, it will not make that much difference. I want to enjoy the remaining years.
  • Highly impressed by this and all your videos. We need more Healthcare providers like you to make a difference. People need to take responsibility in learning to care for themselves. Medications can be lifesaving, but healthy lifestyles are vital. Thank you for advocating for the public and for maintaining such strong ethics despite the multiple pressures exerted by our broken healthcare system. God bless your kind heart and values.
  • @stevewhalen6973
    Thanks! This is the most complete and accurate explanation of heart disease prediction I've ever seen. It covers all significant aspects of metabolic and blood lipid health and also the important numbers we need to look for when getting blood work testing. It also covered very completely the best options for prevention particularly lifestyle diet and exercise.Thank You so much 👍.

    I've always had low triglyceride levels until one year when l went off my usual low carb diet. Triglycerides literally quadrupled and l gained weight. Great video - it should be required viewing by all docs.
  • Statins made my intestines swell shut it was horrible . In and out of the ER and hospital for 18 months . I quit smoking and eat better . Not been back to cardiologist in over a year . It's been 4 years since my stents. $2000 per visit with tests . I walk 4 to 5 days a week and lift 2 days a week . Everyday is a gift.
  • I’d love to have the citations to the follow up study to show my doctor! Thanks for your excellent information.

    This is one of the best holistically explained if not the best video on Youtube. Thank you for saving lives and simplifying everything one needs to use in their everyday lives and make informed decisions about one’s health.
  • @rogers6168
    Thank you for clearly explaining the topics you covered. Recently had my blood panels done & to have a thorough explanation helps big time. Thanks!
  • @HeyMJ.
    Thank you for providing the math behind determining risk factors. And, the info re smoking points in ‘good’ cooking oils/fats! 👍🏼
  • Information seems to be constantly changing regarding cholesterol and this short video is extremely helpful in deciphering the numbers. Thank you for a concise, yet information explanation.
  • @sklundy74
    Thank you for simplifying this information. My husband and I have been trying to sort out this exact topic for a while now. He has had mitral valve replacement and a bypass. He’s now on a statin, but is doing a major overhaul on his diet. We’re beginning to see that metabolic syndrome is the key link to nearly all modern health conditions.
  • @jiriwiesner
    Considering that you are a member of the medical profession, what a rebellious video! :-) Very thought provoking. Thank you.
  • @bobmester3475
    Excellent video Dr Hanson! Thank you for all the info and tips!
  • @Dee-mi7ct
    Thank you for separating two types of cholesterol. This video is wonderful.
  • @marko5937
    Excellent video! This really helped me interpret my lipid panel results. Thank you for preparing this - well done!
