Reducing High Cholesterol and Hypertension

A report issued by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) makes the claim that two-thirds of American adults who are suffering from high cholesterol as well as fifty percent who have symptoms of hypertension are not receiving effective treatment. This lack of treatment for both ailments significantly increases these individual’s risk of heart attacks or stroke.

Nor is this a health care coverage related issue. The CDC estimates that in excess of eighty percent of those dealing with hypertension or higher than recommended levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol enjoy coverage by either public or private health insurance plans.

The conclusion is that, even those with the financial resources to receive medical care are not doing enough to reduce either LDL cholesterol, or hypertension.

Right now almost 2,000 (400 are under age 65) Americans die each day from cardiovascular diseases including heart attacks and strokes.

A high protein weight loss diet is defined by the percentage of calories that come from protein. In a balanced diet that does not focus on protein, typically 10% to 15% of calories come from protein. In diets that focus on the amount of protein, this percentage can rise to as much as 30-35%.

By restricting carbohydrates a high protein diet can cause what is known as “ketosis”. Ketosis is what happens when the body begins to burn its own stored fat for energy. This will cause weight loss but ketosis can also cause headaches, nausea, irritability in mood, and other problems.

Despite these potential problems, high protein diets are a constant favorite for a couple of reasons:

They promote relatively quick weight loss
The high amounts of protein eaten help dieters to feel full for a longer time
