Healthy Heart - February Is American Heat Month

Being over 65, Russell continues to have regular Lipid Panels run to check his cholesterol. His total cholesterol (reference level 100-199) has been in a downward trend ever since 2015:
  1. 2015 = 194 mg/dL
  2. 2018 = 189 mg/dL
  3. 2019 = 178 mg/dL
His bad cholesterol (LDL, reference level 0-99) went down:
  1. 2015 = 134 mg/dL
  2. 2018 = 122 mg/dL
  3. 2019 = 113 mg/dL
His good cholesterol (HDL, reference level >39) actually went down too:
  1. 2015 = 46 mg/dL
  2. 2018 = 38 mg/dL
  3. 2019 = 36 mg/dL
He attributes his relatively good numbers for a senior to the following:
  1. Oriental heritage
  2. Eating a holistic diet ever since he was born (65+ years ago)
  3. Eating a gluten-free, dairy-free (cow and goat milk), soy-free and GMO-free diet
  4. Eating mostly grass-fed meats and wild caught seafood (non-farm raised)
  5. Eating very little processed foods
  6. Eating no fast-foods and limited eating at restaurants
  7. Eliminating chocolate (yes, even dark chocolate)
  8. Cooking at home from scratch
  9. Walking 5-7 days per week
  10. Taking the revolutionary whole superfood product, BioSuperfood-f3, since 2002
His numbers in 2018 were measured by his HMO medical doctor (M.D.). According to the HMO's calculation, he has a 10.2% cardiovascular risk, with anything over 10% considered high. His HMO M.D. recommended a statin medication, following the Mediterranean diet (eating more fruit, vegetables, low-fat protein, nuts), avoiding processed foods and exercising 5-6 times per week for at least 30 minutes a day. The side effects from statin drugs are well documented:
  1. Rash
  2. Nausea or vomiting
  3. Abdominal cramps, gas, bloating
  4. Diarrhea or constipation
  5. Liver damage
  6. Increase in blood sugar potentially leading to Type 2 diabetes
  7. Headache
  8. Difficulty sleeping
  9. Muscle pain, aches, weakness and damage
  10. Neurological side effects including memory loss and confusion
With the exception of eating more fruits and vegetables, he already follows the basic Mediterranean diet with little processed foods. He already goes for a 30 minute, one mile walk 5-6 days per week, as part of his mTBI (mild Traumatic Brain Injury) recovery program. Considering he already has symptoms 7-10 above, as he continue to recover from a concussion (mTBI), he decided against taking statin medications and sought another opinion from his osteopathic physician (D.O.) for a statin drug alternative.


His D.O. mentioned taking an herbal bergamot product to lower his bad cholesterol but she suggested making subtle and incremental life-style changes first. She said to improve bad cholesterol values, dietary changes seem to work the best. But to improve good cholesterol values, making lifestyle exercise changes seemed to work the best. So, in 2018 he cleaned up his diet by eliminating goat milk products, chocolate, cookies and brownies at night for dessert. These sweets were treating the depression from his mTBI. Instead, he substituted our Hemp Oil to reduce his stress levels and improve his moods. He was more diligent about going for his one mile afternoon walk 6-7 days per week. He added 10 minutes on the Nordic Track, whenever he could not do his afternoon walk. His total cholesterol in 2019 went down 11 points and his bad cholesterol went down 2 points with these incremental changes in lifestyle without taking any new pills.
If you want to have a healthy heart, do not just rely on a pill. To avoid the side effects of statin drugs, try improving your diet, increasing your exercise and adding our whole superfood, bio-algae concentrates product, BioSuperfood-f3, to your diet. BioSuperfood is NOT an isolated supplement or a cholesterol-lowering pill. Instead, BioSuperfood is a food, like an orange and salmon, with over 15,000 individual nutrients. I attribute the ability to continue my downward cholesterol trend to eating BioSuperfood-f3 for the past 17 years. The advanced Forte formula, BioSuperfood-f3, has the most antioxidants and is 5 times more efficient at balancing the body over the general nutrition Core formula, BioSuperfood-f2, but not 5 times the price. The antioxidants are super nutrients that nourish and balance ALL the glands in the brain. When the glands are balanced and working in synergy, one has fewer cravings for food, especially inappropriate foods such as white sugar, excess carbohydrates (white flour) and alcohol. One's moods are more balanced and one can handle stress better (less depression). When the body is less stressed it can rest, digest, repair and regenerate better, thus your body will digest food more efficiently, not accumulate the bad fats and cholesterol in your veins/arteries and manufacture more good cholesterol.
