Heart Attack prevent with vitamin pills

Healthy heart, as you often hear, depending on the decrease in bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL). But now, the recommendations are not that simple. The latest finding shows that cholesterol is part of a dual action. And vitamin tablets, according to the findings of this study, can be used as a new treatment for heart disease.

Recently, researchers discovered that cholesterol had a twin brother known as lipoprotein (a), which could increase the risk of heart disease. Own LDL and Lp (a) would double the risk and increase the risk of clogged arteries.

Previously, the doctors also have known that people with higher levels of Lp (a) more susceptible to heart attack or stroke. But earlier is not known whether Lp (a) is the trigger or not.
Now, researchers have found a certain relationship between Lp (a) high levels and cardiovascular (heart and blood vessels). Dr Robert Clarke from Clinical trial service unit at Oxford University, said, quoted by the site dailymail.co.uk "These findings confirm that Lp (a) the factor that causes coronary heart disease," Monday (21 / 6).
Role of vitamin
Levels of Lp (a) is believed to be triggered by a factor of more genes than other factors. The good news, Lp (a) appear to respond to a number of vitamins and supplements. The most famous is the vitamin niacin (vitamin B).
Dr Sarah Jarvis from the Royal College of GPS saying "Niacin is a fantastic all-round treatment in order to protect the heart." These vitamins reduce levels of LDL and Lp (a) and boost HDL levels. "

This vitamin is contained in aves and fishes, whole grains, beans and dried peas. However, patients treated with niacin supplements are usually given as much as two grams a day. This amount is far greater than the niacin you can get from food.
Jarvis explains, the problem is, niacin widens blood vessels so that makes the skin flushed and warm. "Most patients can not tolerate."

But, have available a new form of niacin (tredaptive) who can solve this problem. Tredaptive have additional components that could inhibit the chemicals cause skin reddening.

But, niacin is not the only vitramin which can reduce levels of Lp (a). According to health experts bebepara, Lp (a) also respond some other supplements, like vitamin C and fish oil.

Heart patients, 75 percent of patients with Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is not just a problem of erectile disorder, but also related to heart health. If allowed, according to study findings, about 75 percent of men with ED can consistently suffered a heart attack or stroke in five years.

Several studies from different parts of the world have shown that ED is a marker of vascular disease (blood vessel), especially coronary disease and stroke.
Findings showed that fifty percent of men who had heart attacks, has suffered DE approximately three years earlier. Even more worrisome is the fact that men with ED (about 150 million globally) tend to die earlier than men free of ED.

All arteries can be clogged due to high cholesterol, increased blood pressure, smoking, obesity or diabetes. But because the arteries in the penis is smaller (with one to two millimeters in diameter), these vessels clogged faster than the vessels in the heart (which has a width of three to four millimeters).

In experiments conducted around the world, most ED cases (about 75 per cent), caused by hardening of the arteries. But if this condition describes the size of the potential for heart disease and stroke, so this finding and also shows the large role of ED in preventing these heart problems and stroke.

These findings open new opportunities. Research shows that most men will experience coronary problems between two and five years after the first erectile disorder.
“Therefore, said of Dr Graham Jackson, a consultant cardiologist from Thomas' Hospital in London, it is better to handle it immediately. "," How? ",

Here are tips from Jackson, as outlined in the dailymail.co.uk website, for you:
1. Discussing ED with your partner. This issue should be solved together. Support and communication is very important to maintain harmonious relations.
2. Visit your doctor, ideally with a partner, so the doctor can examine the related conditions, such as increased cholesterol, high blood pressure or diabetes.
3. Change your lifestyle. Physically active works to increase sexual fitness. Lose weight, increase physical activity, quit smoking and follow a Mediterranean diet could overcome erectile problems without medication.

healthy cholesterol

healthy cholesterol not only good for the heart. Maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, according to the findings of researchers, also helps protect against cancer attacks.

Researchers from the Molecular Cardiology Research Institute at Tufts Medical Center analyzed the 24 experiments on the pros and cons of cholesterol treatment, especially statin therapy. The research team examined high-density lipoprotein. This is a good cholesterol to prevent heart disease and cancer incidence.

The results show, the higher levels of HDL kolesteriol, the lower incidence of cancer. Each increment of HDL cholesterol 10 mg / dl is equivalent to reducing cancer risk as much as 36 percent. This relationship remains valid after the researchers accounted for other factors that could affect cholesterol and cancer growth. These factors include age, body mass index, diabetes, gender, smoking habits, and LDL cholesterol(unhealthy cholesterol).

The findings, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology shows that there is no causal association between cholesterol and cancer. However, these results establish evidence that shows the relationship between unhealthy cholesterol and increased cancer risk.

There is a strong and important relationship between the levels of good cholesterol in the blood with the risk of cancer. These findings support the existence of other important benefits of HDL in the body," Richard Karas MD, PhD said, as quoted webmd.com site.

Role of HDL carries cholesterol to the liver and keep moving cholesterol around the body. High HDL associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
Biological mechanisms behind the role of HDL to prevent cancer,not yet clearly known. But, allegedly based on the following theory:

1. HDL has the possibility of antioxidant components that protect cells from damage. Demage Cell increases the risk of abnormal cell growth or cancer growth.
2. HDL possible influence of the immune system and help the body to get a better defense against cancer.
3. HDL likely to have anticancer components that stop the growth of cancer cells, and help maintain the biological environment in which cancer cells can not survive.

Sea sponges and breast cancer patients

Recent result study found that patients with metastatic breast cancer who do chemotherapy with the drug made from sea sponges proved to have a chance to live longer about one to two months.

A drug called eribulin is more effective when compared with other chemotherapy drugs, according to research presented on Sunday (7 / 6) by a group of British researchers at the regular meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology in Chicago.

The study involved more than 750 female patients who were randomly eribulin as a treatment option offered by physicians. All women had undergone cancer treatment and had undergone an average of four times of chemotherapy.

The researchers suggest the existence of 23 per cent improvement in those who consume eribulin. They also have the opportunity to live more than 13 months, while those not consuming can only survive for 10.7 month. The results of this study indicate that eribulin is effective new drug for breast cancer weight scale," said Dr. Christopher Twelves, author and a professor of Clinical Cancer Research Group at the Institute of Medicine Institute of Oncology Molekualar Leeds St James, England.

With this drug, we have seen no progress in terms of survival of a rare," he told Xinhua.net. Targeting cell division eribulin ie different from the previous mechanism," he said. These results and the effective potential as a new treatment for breast cancer patients.

Cheese and immune

Cheese can help maintain and improve the performance of the immune system in elderly people. It was revealed in the research of Dr. Ibrahim Fandi from the University of Turku, Finland. Ibrahim said the cheese can act as carriers of probiotics or 'good bacteria'.

Ibrahim led the team asked the volunteers aged 72-103 years to eat one slice of cheese Gouda or placebo along with their breakfast dishes for four weeks. Researchers then tested participants' blood to determine the effect of probiotic bacteria contained in the cheese of the immune system.

The test results indicate significant improvement in immunity through the activation of certain blood cells. Intake of probiotic bacteria has been reported to enhance immune responses through other products and now we find the cheese can be the bearer of the same bacteria," said Ibrahim.

Researchers believe the daily intake of probiotic cheese can overcome the immune system performance degradation related to age or known by immunosenescene. The decline resulted in the body is unable to kill tumor cells and reduce the immune response to vaccination and infection.
