    ‘What’s Really Causing Elevated Cholesterol & Heart Disease?

    By Dr Dwight Lundell

    We physicians with all our training, knowledge and authority often acquire a rather large ego that tends to make it difficult to admit we are wrong. So, here it is. I freely admit to being wrong. As a heart surgeon with 25 years experience, having performed over 5,000 open-heart surgeries, today is my day to right the wrong with medical and scientific fact.

    I trained for many years with other prominent physicians labelled “opinion makers.” Bombarded with scientific literature, continually attending education seminars, we opinion makers insisted heart disease resulted from the simple fact of elevated blood cholesterol.

    OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

    Omega 3 fatty acids have benefits to just about every disease known to man, in terms of fat loss it has been shown to increase metabolic rate by increasing celluar activity & fat burning/oxidation. Omega 3′s increase insulin sensitivity, which is crucial for fat loss. Most overweight people are insulin resistant, what this means is they can’t get glucose into the cell. Insulin is a complicated hormone but simply what happens is when we eat carbohydrates they are converted into glucose for energy which rises in the blood stream, insulin is then secreted from the pancreas to process the blood glucose. In a healthy body the insulin binds with receptors on the cell, when a cell has insulin attached it acts like a messenger to allow glucose into the cell to be used.
