THE FAT BLOCKER PROGRAM GUARDS AGAINST HEART DISEASE AND STROKE
Author: admin
Most of what we call heart disease is really coronary artery disease, or clogged arteries. The tiny coronary arteries supplying fresh blood to the heart muscle become blocked by plugs made of cholesterol, fat, and debris. As a result, some part of the heart dies. If the blockage is severe enough, the entire heart (and the
person it keeps alive) will die. A very similar process can happen in the arteries carrying fresh blood to the brain, leading to a stroke (a brain attack).
Clearly, keeping the arteries clean is vital—and the Fat Blocker Program can help do just that. Switching overweight people from a standard high-fat diet to a low-fat, low-calorie diet almost always reduces their levels of total cholesterol as well as the LDL bad cholesterol1—provided, obviously, that they stay with it. But obese people usually got that way because they love to eat and don’t love to exercise. To ask them to stay with any truly tough diet indefinitely is unrealistic. That is why, up to now, there has been no surely effective, permanent way to help people lose weight. The statistics prove the point: Individually and collectively we are gaining weight. And the personal experience of virtually every overweight person attests to it: “I just can’t lose weight and keep it off.”
But now, with Chitosan, that is all different. My patients who use Chitosan can lose the fat that is putting their arteries at risk—and considerably extend their life expectancy. And they can do so permanently, and without having to resort to an eating program that is harsh enough to harm the quality of their lives. Overweight people (like almost everyone) love food—they just don’t like the excess weight it brings with it. Now, with Chitosan, they can enjoy reasonable amounts of what they love—and not have to put up with the weight they hate.
Many patients who come to see me are still gaining weight. And there is no doubt that is very dangerous. For example, a 1990 study appearing in the Journal of the American Medical
Association2 reported that as the consumption of fat increased, so did the risk of new lesions. (Lesions are wounds in the arteries where cholesterol-fat plugs can take root and grow.) Yet, to ask many of these people to stop gaining weight by eating much less is like asking the tide not to rise. On the other hand, it is easy for my patients to consume Chitosan, and that, coupled with some reduction in their food intake, is almost always enough to stop further weight gain.
As for strokes, we’ve known for some time that the risk of this disease is greater in areas where people eat a higher-fat diet, such as the “stroke belt” in the southern United States, where fried chicken and the like is a universal delicacy. On the other hand, in geographic areas where people eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, the incidence of stroke tends to be lower.3 This was confirmed by a study appearing in the New England Journal of Medicine.4 The 12-year-long study involving 859 men and women ages 50-79 found that eating more vegetables and fruits could help to reduce the risk of stroke. Thus, by combining Chitosan with more vegetables and fruits, the Fat Blocker Program helps to reduce your risk of stroke two ways: by lowering fat and hence the bad cholesterol and by raising good cholesterol.
