Insulin Resistance
The risk of insulin resistance is greatly underestimated. It is a major cause of vascular disease leading to heart attacks and stroke and peripheral vascular disease. It can be halted in its tracks through dietary management and the use of Metformin as has been shown in the Diabetes Prevention Program Outcomes Study (DPPOS) a long-term study on this deadly disease that affects close to 4 million people in Australia and around 86 million people in the USA.
Hypertension and your risk
The SPRINT trial has shown categorically that intensive treatment of hypertension decreases stroke, heart failure and death by a massive 25%. What was regarded as normal once in terms of blood pressure is now regarded as deadly.
Stenting of a blocked heart artery completed, job well done! Now what?
To think that opening up a blocked artery by stenting is all that is needed to save a life is naive in the extreme. Cardiovascular disease is a diffuse disease that affects the artery above and below the stent and ignoring this fact will result in disastrous consequences for the individual.
Melatonin for Nocturnal Blood Pressure
Controlling blood pressure both day and night is critical to avoid a heart or vascular event. Blood pressure is treated very simplistically at times with one or two drugs with little attention to diet and lifestyle and nocturnal hypertension.
Citrulline Malate for Heart & Vascular Health
Citrulline is a far better source of L-Arginine that L-Arginine itself due to the the rapid metabolism of L-Arginine. Citrulline is converted to L-Arginine in the kidneys thus by-passing the gastrointestinal tract and liver metabolism processes and increasing L-Arginine availability for Nitric Oxide (NO) production.
