On the eve of World Heart Day 2024, let us break all myths around onset & progression of cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer globally with no preventative solutions as of now. Most of the #healthcare practitioners & #healthtech companies still blame cholesterol for development of cardiovascular disease while it is a known fact, backed by years of research, that cholesterol does not cause heart disease. In fact cholesterol is one of the essential molecules required for various cellular processes right from maintaining structure, fluidity & integrity of cell membrane, facilitating intracellular signalling including production of nitric oxide. It has also been found that 75% of the people who were hospitalized for heart disease had normal cholesterol levels.Do not blame cholesterol for heart disease. So a question may arise, if cholesterol does not cause heart disease what is the underlying cause of the number one killer globally? What should be measured to evaluate our risk of cardiovascular disease? Should we measure apolipoprotein? Triglycerides ? Today's podcast discusses in detail. We covered the following topic -Cholesterol is not to be blamed for our heart issues - Role of nitric oxide in preventing cardiovascular disease -What causes functional loss of nitric oxide production -Role of oral microbiome in regulating blood pressure -Role of Gut Dysbiosis in elevation of apolipoprotein, triglycerides, VLDL & LDL -How mouth wash & fluoride are connected with increased risk of blood pressure & heart disease. -Why measuring apolipoprotein cannot help you frame a preventative solution for your heart issue. A must listen for everyone, not to be missed!
