What is the cause of strokes?
According to Doctor Ray Strand: Inflammation in the arteries are brought about by excessive free radicals produced by high blood pressure, diabetes, cigarette smoke, hyperinsulinemia (elevated insulin levels in the blood), fatty meals, and possibly some infectious agents (usually bacteria from gum disease). All of these conditions can either be eliminated or significantly reduced through lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements.
Homocysteine In a 1995 issue of JAMA, Boushey reviewed 27 previous clinical trials, which all showed even mildly elevated levels of homocysteine significantly increased the risk of vascular disease. He concluded that between 10 and 15% of every heart attack and stroke in this country was directly related to elevated homocysteine levels. In other words 150,000 to 225,000 heart attacks each and every year are solely related to elevated homocysteine levels. In order for homocysteine levels to remain in a safe range, you must have adequate levels of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. Elevated homocysteine levels in our blood are primarily the result of a nutritional deficiency of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6. When these nutrients are given in supplementation for just pennies a day, our homocysteine levels will fall back into a safe range the majority of the time.
I have written a free eBook – ‘Five Steps to Choosing Nutritional Supplements’ to help you decide what you need to take.
Wishing you a long, healthy and fulfilling life.
