Protective Diet Class #008 Notes:

Understanding Cholesterol

This class clears up confusing claims about cholesterol. Large molecules, like cholesterol, damage the intercellular junctions between endothelial cells, allowing deposits to build up and obstruct blood flow. A diet that protects the endothelium has the power to reverse and prevent buildup of cholesterol in the arteries. Be heart attack proof with the full, consistent application of a Protective Diet.

Get Clarity on Confusing Cholesterol Claims

Trust Your Liver to Produce All the Cholesterol You Need in Perfect Balance

• The liver produces, regulates and clears cholesterol.
• The body uses naturally produced cholesterol wherever it is needed for the synthesis of Vitamin D, progesterone, estrogen, testosterone, adrenalin, and the formation of every cell.
• HDL attaches to unused LDL and carries it away through the blood stream to prevent excessive levels of LDL.
• Fatty liver and Statin drugs block this LDL cholesterol clearing mechanism.

Lower Total Cholesterol with Nutritional Intervention

• Eating a Protective Diet is the fastest route to lowering cholesterol.
• Eliminate ALL dietary cholesterol.
• Dietary Forms of Cholesterol include:

– Cholesterol—in all animal products (most common source is eggs & chicken)

– Saturated fat—in all animal products, nuts, avocado, coconut, oils (cheese, ice cream, pork and chicken)

– Trans fat—in all processed fats (junk foods)

• Don’t worry about the ratios of HDL and LDL; just get the total cholesterol score low.
• Make yourself heart attack proof by attaining a total cholesterol score below 150.
• In addition to diet, exercise can raise HDL without raising LDL.

Cooking Tips

• Created for those practicing a 100% Protective Diet, PD Chocolate Truffles contain 18 calories and 1 gram of fiber each.
• These are sugar-free and best enjoyed after your 30-day Detox and Taste bud Reprogramming.
• Keep PD Chocolate Truffles, wrapped air tight to prevent drying and cracking

Encouragement

• You could be a ticking time bomb. Stop it with the nuts and the Trans fats and the “once-in-a-whiles”. There is no “one handful of nuts” when you have high cholesterol.
• We can’t leave it to our doctor to decide…doctors are not trained in nutritional intervention for vascular disease. They are trained in cardiovascular medicine, heavily influenced by drug companies.
• It’s challenging for doctors to direct their patients to this kind of nutritional intervention, but you have Protective Diet Education to support you, keep you on track, give you a great understanding of what is going on in your body and help you  to better explain it to your friends and family so they take you seriously and possibly adopt it as well, giving you a healthy family and community of friends.

There is no dancing around this. This is serious.

This is your life.
