STICKY RED BLOOD CELLS

Q - MY CHOLESTEROL IS LOW BUT MY TRIGLYCERIDES ARE HIGH . . . CAN THIS BE A PROBLEM FOR MY HEALTH?

A - Elevated triglycerides are just as dangerous as high cholesterol. Most people do not understand the difference between cholesterol and triglycerides. The foods that cause the problem are entirely different and even most physicians don’t realize this. Also the physical damage differs.

Q -WHAT KIND OF PHYSICAL PROBLEMS OCCUR WHEN MY TRIGLYCERIDES ARE ELEVATED IN MY BLOOD CHEMISTRY?

A - Elevated triglycerides (over 100) cause your red blood cells to stick together in clumps and piles creating a dangerous condition which could lead to heart attacks, stroke, or even cancer.

Q - WHAT FOODS WILL CAUSE TRIGLYCERIDES IN THE BLOOD?

A - Sweets are the main culprit. This includes sugar, honey, desserts, fruit juice, soft drinks, and even excess fruit.

Q - HOW DO TRIGLYCERIDES CREATE THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION?

A - Sweets, especially those with no fiber, are absorbed too quickly which causes a release of free fatty acids from the adipose tissue flowing into the blood stream.

Q - WHY ARE HIGH TRIGLYCERIDES SO DANGEROUS?

A - Because the red blood cells carry oxygen to every cell in the body; when they are stuck together (called red blood cell sludging) the heart and lungs are deprived of oxygen. Because of this and the clotting which occurs, you are vulnerable to a heart attack or stroke.

Q - HOW DO ELEVATED TRIGLYCERIDES MAKE ONE MORE PRONE TO CANCER?

A - Because the red blood cells are designed to enter the capillaries one by one. When they are in clumps, they can’t get into the capillaries so you loose miles and miles of circulation. This means you’ll have anoxia . . . Low levels of oxygen which is fertile ground for cancer.

Q - ARE THERE OTHER FACTORS THAT RAISE TRIGLYCERIDES BESIDES SWEETS?

A - Yes there are. Stress, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, hydrogenated oils, Trans fats will all raise triglycerides.

Q - DOES EXERCISE HELP?

A- Absolutely! Aerobic exercise helps “burn” triglycerides.

Q - ARE THERE SUPPLEMENTS WHICH WILL LOWER TRIGLYCERIDES?

A - Yes! After years of research I have discovered the best results are achieved with Gugu Lipo available at our office. First-time-callers can call for a free handout called Triglycerides at (800) 545-6923.
