Because the cholesterol that builds up along the walls of the arteries comes mostly from […]

(Natural News) Hypercholesterolemia is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the main contributor to coronary heart disease. High levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), for instance, are associated with the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attack. Treatments for these conditions, therefore, focus mainly on reducing total cholesterol and LDL-C levels in the blood. In a […]

(Natural News) Scientists from the University of Warwick in England have finally identified the enzyme responsible for “loading up” fat-carrying particles in the liver, which are then transported around the body. The study, which appeared in the Journal of Lipid Research, also revealed how this enzyme could be “slimmed down” to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol that […]

(Natural News) This paper describes a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled intervention study conducted by researchers from the Leibniz University Hannover in Germany to evaluate the effects of a low moncacolin K dose and folic acid on plasma lipids and homocysteine levels, respectively. The results of their analyses were published in the journal Nutrition Research. Hypercholesterolemia and elevated homocysteine […]

(Natural News) Obesity is a global epidemic that affects more than 650 million adults in the world. If it isn’t managed properly, this condition can lead to the development of health problems, such as cardiovascular disease. This outcome is partially attributed to the high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) often associated with obesity. Although there are conventional […]

More than 36 percent of the United States’ adult population are diagnosed with obesity, but a recent study found that even people who are slim have the same risk of hyperlipidemia as those […]

You can do this by switching from other kinds of cooking oil to healthier options such as seed oils. The study was published in the Journal of Lipid Research. […]

(Natural News) In the U.S., fall is also the time for pomegranates. While it’s known for its delicious “seeds” (which are technically called arils), it’s mostly known for being labor-intensive as the cracking open a pomegranate requires both patience and skill.
