The Heart of Health: Metabolism and Cardiovascular Well-being"
Did you know that only 6.8% of Americans are metabolically healthy? That means that 97% of Americans’ body is unable to respond to food beneficially. That means that 97% of us are on our way to developing diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, and fatty liver disease. We are here to help you become one of the 6% metabolically healthy.
The Connection:
- Energy Production: At its basic level, the heart is a muscular pump requiring energy to function. An efficient metabolism ensures the heart gets the point of pumping blood throughout our body.
- Weight Management: A higher metabolic rate can aid in weight control. Excess weight, particularly around the midsection, increases the risk of heart disease.
- Cholesterol and Lipid Regulation: Metabolism plays a role in breaking and synthesizing fatty acids and cholesterol.
Most of what we have been taught about cholesterol is wrong. We need healthy cholesterol levels for healthy brains, hearts and hormones. Cardiovascular health is not the lack of a statin drug. It is all about our metabolic health.
4. Blood Sugar Regulation: A well-functioning metabolism helps to regulate blood sugar levels. Persistent high blood sugar, as seen in diabetes, damages blood vessels and increases the risk of heart disease and many others.
