Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the number
one killer in the world.
In the US, it's responsible for 40 percent of all deaths--
more than all forms of cancer combined.
The longtime yet incorrect explanation of CVD and how
it occurs has pointed the finger at high cholesterol
levels.
Now there's another little-known yet emerging factor that
contributes to heart disease as well, and explains why
people with normal cholesterol still get CVD.
It's inflammation.
Narrowing of blood vessels can begin when the vessels
become inflamed.
Here's how that can happen:
Your arteries can sustain damage from things such as an
injury, infection or even from bad bacteria such as
Streptococcus mutans (the bacteria that causes tooth
decay).
When this happens, your immune system senses something is
wrong with the artery and sends droves of white blood cells
to the area.
As part of their healing efforts, the white blood cells
create inflammation, and these inflamed areas pull
cholesterol from the blood...sort of like using glue to
repair a cracked plate.
However, if this cycle continues long enough, the
cholesterol can begin to accumulate too much in the
inflamed area. Eventually the blood vessel begins to
narrow and can completely close.
And you're a candidate for heart attack or stroke again.
This is why cholesterol by itself is not as bad as Big
Pharma wants you to believe it is.
But here's some GOOD news in the midst of all this grim
CVD talk.
Probiotics can help you reduce your risk of cardiovascular
disease from BOTH inflammation AND high cholesterol.
Probiotics support the development of regulatory T cells
in your immune system. These T cells help reduce
overzealous immune responses throughout your body.
What that can mean is fewer armies of white blood cells
being sent to a damaged artery, and therefore less
inflammation and less chance of accumulation of cholesterol
in the area.
Probiotics help reduce blood cholesterol in 3 different
ways:
1- Probiotics create acids that counter cholesterol
production
As probiotic bacteria digest fiber in your intestines,
they produce acids. One of the acids (called proprionic
acid) decreases production of cholesterol by the liver.
Less cholesterol produced by the liver means less to
accumulate in your veins.
2- Probiotics break down liver bile acids
Bile acids help your body digest fats, and your liver
manufactures these bile acids from cholesterol.
Usually your liver recycles bile acids and uses them over
and over. But probiotics break down bile acids, so your
liver has to make more...and so it uses up more cholesterol
in the process.
More cholesterol used by the liver to make bile acids
means less to flow through your bloodstream.
3- Probiotics actually eat cholesterol
Probiotic bacteria have been shown to break down
cholesterol and use it for nourishment. That's less to
build up and narrow your arteries.
Helping to minimize your risk of cardiovascular disease,
no matter what the cause, is a great reason to take Super
Shield probiotic formula every day.

One of Super Shield's medical-grade strains of bacteria,
Lactobacillus Acidophilus DDS-1, is a terminator when it
comes to fighting cholesterol--it's a bacteria that eats
cholesterol like I mentioned above.
In addition, Super Shield's Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and
Lactobacillus bulgaricus NX5856 are also known for helping
to reduce and control cholesterol levels.
Plus ALL of Super Shield's 13 strains of research grade
bacteria help to strengthen your immune system (including
your regulatory T cells) and encourage it to act
appropriately--not overzealously--when it comes to
infection or artery damage.
Don't let yourself become one of the Heart Association's
statistics.
