The American Heart Association just announced that people as young as 30 should take statins FOR LIFE if their "LDL cholesterol" is "High".

Meanwhile, a Swedish study on 800,000 people for 35 years found that high cholesterol is HEALTHY...

Here's the truth about cholesterol: 🧵

They claim that high LDL cholesterol almost inevitably leads to plaque build up in your arteries...

But LDL cholesterol ALONE does not lead to significant plaque build up.

It becomes dangerous when it’s oxidized or part of a bigger metabolic problem.

Oxidized LDL damages blood vessels, causing plaque buildup and heart disease.

The major drivers of LDL oxidation are inflammation and high blood sugar.

Studies that claim that high LDL = high risk of heart disease normally don't account for that.

Nattokinase is the most underrated heart supplement on the planet.

A new study of 1,062 people just showed it shrank arterial plaque by 36% in one year.

It lowers blood pressure, your risk of strokes and even protects your brain.

Here's everything you need to know about it:🧵

1. It dissolves blood clots.

Nattokinase breaks down fibrin, the protein that forms dangerous clots in your blood vessels.

It also boosts your body's clot-dissolving system by activating tissue plasminogen activator.

Studies show it's 4X more potent than plasmin.

2. It lowers blood pressure.

A clinical trial gave 86 people 2,000 FU of nattokinase daily for 8 weeks.

The result?

Systolic blood pressure dropped by 5.5 mmHg and diastolic dropped by 2.8 mmHg.

It works by reducing renin activity and improving blood flow.

Your doctor says your blood pressure is "a little high."

But high blood pressure silently damages your arteries and brain for years before symptoms show.

Here are 8 science-backed methods to lower it naturally:🧵

1. Don't worry so much about salt. Worry about potassium

You need more potassium.

Potassium relaxes your blood vessel walls and helps flush out excess sodium.

Best sources :

• Bananas
• Avocados
• Leafy greens
• Sweet potatoes

Most people get less than half the potassium they need.

Here's what they never told you about salt:

2. Walk for at least 30 minutes everyday.

Walking boosts nitric oxide production in your blood vessels.

The result?

Your arteries relax, they become healthier and your blood flows better.

But you don't need 10K steps.

Just walking a few thousand more steps a day than you are now is enough.

Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about Dr. Jason Fung.

While Type 2 Diabetes and insulin resistance take years off your lifespan...

He's proved you can reverse them naturally without meds.

Here are his top 7 protocols to reverse insulin resistance (bookmark this):🧵

1. Start with 16:8 intermittent fasting.

Fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window.

This alone reversed Type 2 diabetes in many of Dr. Fung's patients.

Your insulin drops low enough to finally start burning stored fat.

2. Cut refined carbohydrates.

Sugar, white bread, white rice and pasta spike blood sugar the most.

The result?

More insulin, more insulin resistance, more fat.

50% of Fung's patients reversed diabetes just from this one change.

CoQ10 is the single most important nutrient for your heart and energy levels.

Without it, your cells literally cannot produce the energy they need.

But it declines with age and Statins deplete it even more.

Here are all its benefits (and how to get enough)::🧵

1. Cellular energy production.

CoQ10 is essential for the electron transport chain inside your mitochondria.

This is the process that creates ATP, the energy currency of every cell.

Without CoQ10, your cells cannot produce the energy they need to survive.

2. Heart protection.

Your heart is the most energy-demanding organ in your entire body.

It relies on massive amounts of CoQ10 to beat over 100,000 times every single day.

Low CoQ10 is directly linked to heart failure and high blood pressure.

The most silent yet dangerous health condition millions have:

Poor blood flow.

It raises blood pressure, risk of heart disease and literally starves your organs of oxygen...

Here are 12 foods that improve your blood flow naturally (bookmark these): 🧵

1. Dark chocolate

Flavanols in cacao boost your body's production of nitric oxide which widens blood vessels.

This relaxes your arteries and improves circulation throughout your entire body.

Stick to 85% cacao or higher for the full benefit.

2. Beets.

Loaded with nitrates that your body converts directly into nitric oxide.

This naturally relaxes and widens your blood vessels to reduce blood pressure.

One glass of beet juice can drop your blood pressure by 10 points in just hours.
