Do you have Family history. Obesity. Diabetes. High
blood pressure?
These are some of the more commonly recognized risk factors for heart
disease. But there’s one risk factor you may not know about... and it has
nothing to do with your family genetics.
The number-one risk factor for heart disease is high homocysteine
levels. You will not believe that in a recent study it has been
found that more than 56% of Indians are suffering from homocysteinemia !
You see, in normal situations, homocysteine is just a harmless amino
acid. But if your levels get too high, it can:
- Block
blood flow by triggering inflammation across your body
- Damage
the lining of your arteries
- Prevent the dilation of your blood vessels
- Increase the chance of blood clots
The good news is you have the power to completely get your homocysteine
under control. And help cut your risk of heart disease and extend your life –
right now.
One way to know if you’re at risk is by getting your homocysteine levels
checked with a simple blood test from your doctor. I personally like to keep my
patients’ levels at 7 or below.
Another way to help keep your homocysteine in check and protect yourself
from heart disease is to ramp up your levels of vitamin B.
Vitamins B6, B9 (also known as folic acid or folate) and B12 all help to
convert homocysteine into methionine, the helpful amino acid.
Methionine is one of the building blocks of protein. And without enough
levels of B vitamins in your system, your body can’t convert homocysteine to
methionine efficiently. This can lead to an overload of homocysteine racing
through your blood.
To boost your B vitamins, it is recommended:
