Cardiovascular disease is one of the biggest killers in the western world, however, it can be totally preventable when ALL the relevant factors are taken into account. This includes, not just cholesterol, but inflammation, vitamin D, exercise, diet, and genetic factors that may influence the nutrient status of key B vitamins.
So many times, doctors will focus on either total cholesterol or just LDL cholesterol, and when levels reach a certain level, they will prescribe a “Lipid Lowering Medication” or Statin drug to lower the LDL level. This however, DOES NOT LOWER THE RISK of a cardiovascular event, especially if diet and lifestyle are ignored.
