A Better View into your Cardiovascular Risk | ApoB & LP(a)
In this weeks edition of “What’s Steeling our Healthy Years” I’d like to focus attention on a grim reaping condition which we’ll ALL likely face if we’re on this beautiful floating rock long enough…
We’re talking Cardiovascular Disease, or the chronic buildup of dysfunction across the vast and precise cardiovascular system. The system which transfers vital nutrients and that kinda important oxygen stuff throughout the body for all of our tissues & organs, allowing them to not only function, but keep us open for biological business…
A system, which starts succumbing to disease and dysfunction as early as our 20’s! Yes, you heard that right…. 20’s!
With the main culprits for this continuous rise in risk likely being our everyday habits. Habits when compounded over time, create the internal environment for this disease to manifest within…
Making prevention, once again, the BEST Strategy. But how do we know if our prevention protocols are actually working? And for that matter, an accurate picture of our current and/or future risk?
Well, this is an area we have some pretty good tools at our disposal. From aerobic fitness tests to cholesterol & metabolic blood panels, and even live scans of our Heart & Arteries. But despite all this, it seems the standard preventive protocol (the Lipid Panel) does not provided the best (aka most accurate) bang for its buck.
In fact, it may actually mislead many into NOT understanding their TRUE Risk. So lets look at some more effective ways to OWN Our Health & Assess Our Risk. Because every good prevention plan needs a way to be measured!
