Nutra ThrivePosted by insha4 sh on May 9th, 2019 Later studies of road accident victims between the ages of three and twenty-six have shown that fat deposits - the first sign of atherosclerosis - are found in practically all American children before they reach ten years. When we are twenty or thirty, these fat deposits turn into atherosclerotic plaques, similar to those found in young Americans killed in Korea. And when we're forty or fifty, they're killing us.If someone who has been ten years old is reading these lines, the question is not whether you want to start eating healthier to prevent heart disease, but if you want or do not want to reverse the heart disease you almost certainly have.How soon do these fat deposits begin to appear? Atherosclerosis begins even before birth. Italian scientists investigated blood vessels of aborted fetuses and premature infants who died shortly after birth. Those children whose mother had high levels of LDL cholesterol were shown to be at greater risk of developing vascular lesions. Thus, atherosclerosis does not begin in childhood, but even in pregnancy.It is now common for pregnant women not to smoke and use alcoholic beverages. It's never too early to start eating healthier - with the idea of future generations.According to William C. Roberts, editor-in-chief of the American Journal of Cardiology, cholesterol is the only critical risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic plaques, especially elevated blood LDL cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is not known as "bad" cholesterol for nothing; it is a carrier through which cholesterol is stored in the blood vessels. Autopsy of thousands of young road accident victims showed that blood cholesterol levels were closely related to atherosclerotic vascular involvement. Like it? Share it! |
