The Newest Research
In 2019, many studies have proven that cholesterol is actually essential for your body. The precursor to every hormone your body produces such as testosterone or estrogen is cholesterol. Everything from strokes to depression can be caused with improper LDL levels. Rather than being worried about high cholesterol levels, now people should be concerned about low levels.
The Journal of American Medical Association did a recent study which found patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes are mostly prescribed cholesterol medication to prevent heart issues. Lower cholesterol levels actually increase the risk of nerve damage. This study concluded that there was no correlation between your cardiovascular risk and cholesterol. Another medical analysis found (in a study of 265 patients) taking one aspirin a day increased GI bleeding, intracranial bleeding, and a need for blood transfusions.
Medications Cannot Bring You Health
The current paradigm is to take a medication to mask every symptom. The definition of medication is to block your body’s ability to adapt. One other study released in June 2019 found a significant association between lower LDL levels and higher risk of having a stroke. Most doctors prescribe medication to prevent something. The problem, however, is you cannot take medications or pills to prevent a future health issue. These medications actually cause health issues while taking them as prescribed daily. The only prevention is through nutrition, lifestyle, and awareness. With the amount of information, doctors, and medication we have it should be concerning to why we are the sickest country in the industrialized world. It’s time for a shift.
Three Ways to be Your Own Health Advocate
The first step toward bettering your health is being aware of what the doctor is telling you. Unfortunately, we have become trusting of a corrupted system that sometimes does not have our best health interest at heart. Research the medications and research what others have done.
Don’t let science scare you from understanding your bodies essential needs. Understanding the way our bodies were made can teach us a lot more than naming symptoms. To every symptom there is an underlying cause. Learn more about the reasons why your body is responding the way it is.
We believe our bodies were wonderfully made by God. Our bodies are also smarter and more complex than and human beings creation of medication can try to top. Your body isn’t able to adapt properly while it is being fed a medication to live off of. Medication can be a blessing in emergency situations but it should never be your life support.
