How's Your CoQ10 Level?

3/1/2016

0 Comments

 
With a fairly regular patient presentation of hypertonic or even spasmodic muscles due to Statin prescription ingestion, it is paramount to consider the cardiac implications that can manifest without the complement of CoQ10.

So often, we take a prescription, entrusting the often good intentioned internist or cardiologist with the intended benefit of reducing our elevated cholesterol levels, only to experience spastic side effects or worse. The link to the article listed below is a must read if you are candidate for cardiac risk factors, with heredity and lifestyle heading the concern. While diet and exercise can prove to be extremely beneficial behavior modifications, there are times when additional measures must be employed.
​
Personally, my elevation in cholesterol (240 total) at age 35 got my attention quickly! I stopped consuming half a brick of cheese in one sitting, avoided ice cream as a go-to desert, and kicked my cardio into a higher gear. I dropped to 179 in one month. If I recall correctly, I believe that I added a tablespoon or two of lecithin granules to my regimen as well. If my numbers elevate with age, I will add a form of CoQ10 (Ubiquinol) to my routine. Red Yeast Rice is another helpful natural remedy for a number of individuals. Always keep your internist and or cardiologist in the loop and COMMUNICATE with any changes you consider! My intention is not to turn you into a maverick and have you abandon your medical team; I just believe that the best informed make the best choices!

Please pay attention to your refined carbohydrate intake! You may not burn off all the calories that you take in, resulting in the remainder being stored. You will not burn fat calories if you keep taking in all the carbs, because your body utilizes carbs before fat.

So, please view the article from the below link. Please call upon us at the office if we can assist you in your health needs.
