(EMAILWIRE.COM, March 20, 2012 ) Philadelphia, PA -- Pennsylvania weight loss population of 3.4 million is obese and their bodies are a ticking time bomb ready to explode in the form of a heart attack or stroke.
Having a BMI (body mass index) of 30 or more (obese starting point) puts one at greater risk of high cholesterol. And high cholesterol leads to atherosclerosis, a dangerous accumulation of cholesterol and other deposits on the walls of the arteries. These blood flow reducing deposits are called plaques. A blood clot forms where plaques tear or rupture thus blocking blood flow and plugging an artery downstream. One will have a heart attack if blood flow to the heart stops. And if blood flow is blocked to the brain, one will have a stroke.
Cholesterol is attached to proteins and carried throughout the blood. The protein and cholesterol combination is called a lipoprotein. There are 3 types of lipoproteins.
• LDL (low-density lipoprotein) or “bad” cholesterol builds up in the walls of the artery making them hard and narrow.
• VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) has the most triglycerides which makes LDL cholesterol larger in size and further causes the blood vessels to narrow.
• HDL (high-density lipoprotein) or “good” cholesterol picks up excess cholesterol and takes it back to the liver.
LDL is the major transport protein for cholesterol and supplies both free and esterified cholesterol to the body tissues. Dr. Simeons who pioneered the use of HCG weight loss observed that, “Cholesterol circulates in two forms, which we call free and esterified. Normally these fractions are present in a proportion of about 25% free to 75% esterified cholesterol, and it is the latter fraction which damages the walls of the arteries. In pregnancy this proportion is reversed and it may be taken for granted the arteriosclerosis never gets worse during pregnancy for this very reason.” He also observed that this phenomenon also takes place during the treatment of obesity with the HCG diet.
If oneÂ’s BMI is over 30 than their body is a ticking time bomb ready to explode with either a heart attack or stroke. The use of HCG shots will dismantle that time bomb. By losing weight, one will look better, feel better and their quality of life will improve.
