Background
The cardiovascular system in the body (circulatory system) consists of the heart and the blood vessels. The blood vessels consist of 2 major types, the arteries which carry blood with oxygen from the lungs and heart to the cells and organs, and the veins which carry blood with low oxygen levels from the cells and organs back to the heart and lungs to pick up more oxygen, when we breathe in air. If the arteries or veins become narrowed or blocked, or if they tear and leak out blood, then they cause a heart attack or stroke or thrombosis (clot) in the organ in which this takes place. In the heart it causes a heart attack, in the brain a stroke and in the lungs it is called a pulmonary embolism or pulmonary thrombosis. There is another set of vessels which run parallel to the veins and they are called the lymph vessels.
Causes of Narrowed or Blocked Blood Vessels:
Smoking
Unhealthy diet (too much sugar, carbs, fried food, saturated fat, burnt meat and super-heated oils)
Stress
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)
Diabetes
Overweight/obesity
Lack of exercise
Chronic Inflammation
Free Radicals damage
Excess Cholesterol (especially “Bad” LDL cholesterol), high Lipoprotein (a), Low “Good” HDL cholesterol and high “Ugly” Triglycerides (fats)
Genetic defects in DNA (e.g. Inherited diseases)
Trauma
Clotting Diseases (e.g. complications of COVID-19 virus)
High Homocysteine levels
XTREME HEALTH. CO.ZA has formulated a food supplement called CHOLESTEROL CONTROL – LDX capsules specifically designed to help promote blood flow and reduce bad cholesterol or bad oxidized fat build up in the arteries. The supplement should also be taken by individuals who are on statin pharmaceutical drugs to lower their cholesterol levels. This is necessary because the statin drugs lower the key antioxidant enzyme called Co-Enzyme Q10, which plays a crucial role in the production of energy in the mitochondria, in all your trillions of cells. Statin drugs can cause muscle pain, fatigue, liver problems and break down of the muscles in your body. It is important to monitor your general health when on statin drugs and to take CoQ10 supplements.
