Re: test results — cholesterol, BP, toxins, longevity
Congrats Linda!
Your HDL/total cholesterol is better than 1:4 optimal.
Your BP may be better controlled and possibly reduced by
cleansing toxin load such as by doing liver flushes and inulin to
control bad bowel bacteria, a 24/7 toxin producer. Also, because
any stressor, the most common being toxin load and malnutrition,
increases blood pressure, the minerals magnesium and potassium,
with vitamin b complex and extra niacin, may help a lot. This
might seem only like a guess but the numbers are with me; most
people are low on magnesium and potassium and their depletion
results in health effects pretty quickly. I use "No Salt"
potassium instead of salt; salt is an excellent potassium
depletor and I avoid salting my food with it.
Also, rather than covering carb excesses with industrial doses of
insulin as many people do, carb restriction will reduce toxin
load and increase oxygen delivery to cells by allowing your lymph
and cell PH to become more alkaline.
Last, if you’re not using antoxidants particularly cold-processed
undenatured whey for the glutathione precursors you should be.
Diabetes is noted as a disease of accelerated aging due to the
high level of free radical damage and glycation, and a lot of
that can be avoided.

Hi Linda; niacin will help to reduce blood pressure, and improve
clotting, triglycerides and other lipid parameters. There is
niacin in the following foods; eggs and milk contain it but in
some instances supplementation in addition to food produces
results.
Animal products: Plant Products:
liver, heart and kidney
brewer’s yeast
chicken
fish: tuna, salmon
milk
eggs
Fruits and vegetables:
leaf vegetables
broccoli
tomatoes
carrots
dates
sweet potatoes
asparagus
avocados
Seeds:
nuts
whole grain products
legumes
saltbush seeds
