Track 3:
Apolipoprotein B - found on the outside of LDL surface can damage arterial walls and endothelium tissue
Effect of Apo B when:
elevated + "healthy" cholesterol (60% increase)
elevated + "high" cholesterol (100% increase)
Walnuts good for cardio health
Sugar - added sugar increases apo - B
Exercise - Apo B will go down
Sleep - very important to lower apo - B
Thyroid Hormones - low thyroid = increased cholesterol
instead of statin drugs - better option is work to improve thyroid issue
Effects of Fish Oil - 1 tbsp daily = 3-% reduction in production of apo - B and triglycerides
analogy of fireplace: logs vs paper
Acute risk of excess apo - B - ratio of apo - B vs apo - A when close = Indole 3 - cartinol will lower Apo B +/-56%
