Cholesterol" part 1 so stay by.
00:00:13.67\00:00:15.78
Hi, welcome to Abundant Living,
00:00:41.05\00:00:42.48
I'm Curtis Eakins,
and this is my beautiful
00:00:42.51\00:00:44.83
bride, Paula
Eakins. Alright, how are
00:00:44.86\00:00:47.81
you doing today honey?
I'm doing wonderful today.
00:00:47.84\00:00:49.61
And you are
looking mighty good too.
00:00:49.64\00:00:51.01
Thank you very much.
You usually looks good
00:00:51.13\00:00:52.52
anyway so I
praise the Lord for that.
00:00:52.55\00:00:54.19
Praise Him, yes indeed He. Yes.
00:00:54.78\00:00:56.42
Okay today, today
we are gonna be talking
00:00:56.65\00:00:58.59
about cholesterol.
We are gonna be talking
00:00:58.62\00:01:00.07
about
cholesterol. Now we are gonna
00:01:00.10\00:01:01.57
have this in two parts,
this is part one and then
00:01:01.60\00:01:04.48
next time we meet we
will go with part two as well.
00:01:04.51\00:01:06.54
Cholesterol is a
topic that, just like I said
00:01:06.95\00:01:09.50
before is contributing
factor to this nation's
00:01:09.53\00:01:11.81
number one and
number three killers heart
00:01:11.84\00:01:13.92
disease and stroke
so. We are gonna look at
00:01:13.95\00:01:15.95
some numbers HDL, LDL, VLDL,
00:01:15.98\00:01:20.62
cholesterol ratio and all
these kind of good things.
00:01:20.65\00:01:23.06
And despite the
information out on the
00:01:23.36\00:01:26.50
cholesterol, people still have
00:01:26.53\00:01:28.75
high cholesterol
levels. Yep, and I think
00:01:28.78\00:01:31.49
cholesterol has
gotten a bad rap, you know
00:01:31.93\00:01:34.00
it's just like fat
you know we do need fat
00:01:34.03\00:01:37.13
certain types of fat.
We do need cholesterol,
00:01:38.08\00:01:40.68
certain types of cholesterol.
00:01:40.71\00:01:42.08
So, we are gonna look into this
00:01:42.11\00:01:43.48
topic quite thoroughly.
Well I guess the first
00:01:43.51\00:01:46.93
question, that the
always might have is
00:01:46.96\00:01:49.02
what exactly is cholesterol?
00:01:49.05\00:01:50.86
And what is the
purpose in the body?
00:01:51.05\00:01:52.93
Okay, cholesterol
is a fat, waxy, yellow
00:01:53.20\00:01:59.06
substance that's
found in the bloodstream and
00:01:59.66\00:02:02.29
also in all body
cells. And as main purpose of
00:02:02.32\00:02:05.70
cholesterol was to
simply take the fat from
00:02:05.73\00:02:08.38
the liver and
transport throughout the body
00:02:08.41\00:02:10.76
and then also go back
to the liver and then take
00:02:11.26\00:02:13.29
some more fat to
distribute throughout
00:02:13.32\00:02:14.88
the body and cholesterol itself.
00:02:14.91\00:02:16.78
So, is a transport
system and it uses the blood
00:02:16.81\00:02:20.21
vessels as it's
highway to do that.
00:02:20.24\00:02:22.88
So, again we do need
cholesterol now again
00:02:23.42\00:02:26.04
some of the purposes
for cholesterol number
00:02:26.07\00:02:29.33
one's for cell
membrane manufacture of sex
00:02:29.36\00:02:32.84
hormone, steroids,
brain cell, central nervous
00:02:32.87\00:02:36.94
system, organ protection,
reproduction, body energy.
00:02:36.97\00:02:41.63
So, you see we do need
cholesterol contrary to
00:02:42.07\00:02:46.20
I don't know maybe not
popular belief but some
00:02:46.51\00:02:48.63
people think they oh I
don't want cholesterol,
00:02:48.66\00:02:51.08
you know that, that
causes heart disease.
00:02:51.11\00:02:52.74
Well folks we do need
cholesterol but again in
00:02:52.77\00:02:56.45
certain amounts it's
really advantageous for
00:02:56.48\00:02:59.19
our body system
on a daily basis.
00:02:59.22\00:03:01.03
Now I guess the thing
that I'm thinking about
00:03:01.06\00:03:02.61
when you say we do
need cholesterol and
00:03:02.64\00:03:04.70
you gave very good
definition about what
00:03:04.73\00:03:06.82
it's used for inside the body?
00:03:06.85\00:03:08.22
First thing I'm
thinking about and I'm wondering
00:03:08.54\00:03:10.11
if you're thinking the
same thing, is that mean
00:03:10.14\00:03:11.84
I eat a lot of
cholesterol foods and
00:03:11.87\00:03:13.52
what we able to do
that. Okay, okay see I can
00:03:13.55\00:03:16.17
see the emails
right now, oh yes.
00:03:16.20\00:03:17.57
Well Curtis saying
and Paula saying we need
00:03:17.60\00:03:19.33
cholesterol so we
can go through these fast
00:03:19.36\00:03:21.95
food restaurants and
eat these big burgers,
00:03:21.98\00:03:24.28
and double cheese and
double quarter pounder
00:03:24.31\00:03:28.73
and you know fryers,
oh that's cholesterol
00:03:28.76\00:03:31.52
and we need cholesterol
folks and I can see that
00:03:31.55\00:03:34.55
email coming yeah.
And I guess that our
00:03:34.58\00:03:36.54
next question is
gonna be then where exactly
00:03:36.57\00:03:39.04
does this
cholesterol which you are taking
00:03:39.51\00:03:41.07
about come from?
Okay. Well first of all
00:03:41.10\00:03:43.94
let me say this I
just thought about this,
00:03:44.67\00:03:46.63
cholesterol comes from God.
00:03:46.66\00:03:50.29
Why because God
created our bodies,
00:03:51.33\00:03:54.92
so when God formed
man from the dust of
00:03:55.43\00:03:59.75
the ground. He
fashioned his body,
00:03:59.78\00:04:02.10
He also formed the
internal organs of the
00:04:02.61\00:04:05.78
body too to function properly.
00:04:05.81\00:04:07.57
Therefore having
said that let me say this.
00:04:08.25\00:04:10.30
There is one organ
in particular when God
00:04:10.93\00:04:14.32
made mankind that
is responsible for the
00:04:14.35\00:04:18.84
manufacturing of cholesterol
00:04:18.87\00:04:21.61
in the beginning.
So this is God's plan
00:04:21.72\00:04:23.82
and we are again we say
this text quite often but
00:04:24.09\00:04:27.00
again we are
fearfully and wonderfully made.
00:04:27.03\00:04:32.94
Now let's go to our
first graphic let's see what
00:04:33.14\00:04:34.82
we talking about
here. There's a little man
00:04:34.85\00:04:37.20
there and he has cholesterol,
00:04:37.23\00:04:38.76
now going there are
two sources of cholesterol
00:04:38.79\00:04:41.96
that goes into the
body. Let's look at the top
00:04:41.99\00:04:44.16
source first of all,
the source that goes right
00:04:44.19\00:04:47.17
inside of our mouth, honey.
00:04:47.20\00:04:48.57
Now of course we
have the eggs there,
00:04:48.92\00:04:50.69
we have the bacon
and we have what's that
00:04:50.72\00:04:53.15
hamburger and French
fries and ice cream and
00:04:53.60\00:04:57.05
cake and burger.
So, all of those foods
00:04:57.08\00:04:59.88
contain
cholesterol, again anything that
00:05:00.15\00:05:04.25
comes from the
animal kingdom that has a
00:05:04.28\00:05:06.97
mother or a face
contains cholesterol.
00:05:07.00\00:05:09.82
So, these foods animal products
00:05:09.85\00:05:12.11
contain cholesterol.
So, when we eat that
00:05:12.32\00:05:14.33
then of course
our body has a high
00:05:14.36\00:05:16.33
incident of
cholesterol. And that can be
00:05:16.36\00:05:19.58
anywhere from 100
to 500 mg per day based
00:05:19.61\00:05:24.05
on one's diet.
Now some people eat
00:05:24.08\00:05:26.20
than that, but
again 1 to 500 maybe more.
00:05:26.23\00:05:29.11
But, now look at the
bottom there the liver,
00:05:29.46\00:05:31.80
as I said before the
liver is designed by God to
00:05:31.96\00:05:36.57
manufacture all the cholesterol
00:05:36.60\00:05:38.27
that the body needs.
The liver manufactures
00:05:38.30\00:05:41.18
up to 1000 mg of cholesterol
00:05:41.21\00:05:45.11
per day the liver.
So, if we do not eat any
00:05:45.14\00:05:48.50
other food that contains
cholesterol the liver will
00:05:48.53\00:05:52.84
do its job effectively
without any cholesterol
00:05:52.87\00:05:56.20
coming to our body
thought our mouths.
00:05:56.23\00:05:57.95
So, liver does its job, yeah.
00:05:58.33\00:06:00.22
We tilt the
scales against us when we
00:06:00.62\00:06:03.15
take in food that
contains cholesterol.
00:06:03.18\00:06:05.71
Now we have a
surplus of cholesterol.
00:06:06.13\00:06:08.40
So, what you are
saying then is that we don't
00:06:08.88\00:06:10.44
really need to have
cholesterol in our foods,
00:06:10.47\00:06:12.79
because, right, by do anything.
00:06:13.18\00:06:14.55
Because God
created our bodies to
00:06:14.58\00:06:17.00
manufacture that cholesterol.
00:06:17.03\00:06:19.28
So, again everything points back
00:06:19.62\00:06:21.20
to God the creator.
That's why sometimes
00:06:21.23\00:06:24.12
we talked about the
curbing the carbs a few
00:06:24.50\00:06:28.89
weeks ago and
again some people who
00:06:28.92\00:06:31.63
advocate evaluation.
The big bang theory or
00:06:31.66\00:06:35.60
amoeba that was in
the water and it grew on
00:06:35.63\00:06:39.22
dry land and then
it climbed up the trees
00:06:39.25\00:06:41.87
and snapped his tail
and became my great, great,
00:06:41.90\00:06:43.37
great, great
grandfather, you know.
00:06:43.40\00:06:44.77
Well folks you know
God is not honored by
00:06:45.09\00:06:49.86
that theory, so we
need to look at the word of
00:06:49.89\00:06:52.90
God, see how we are
created and if we look at
00:06:52.93\00:06:56.03
anatomy and physiology.
Just basic anatomy and
00:06:56.06\00:06:58.96
physiology the more we
read, the more we study
00:06:58.99\00:07:01.53
the more it points
back to God our creator that
00:07:02.36\00:07:05.54
He has placed this
liver in our system to
00:07:05.57\00:07:08.66
manufacture the cholesterol.
00:07:08.69\00:07:10.06
And other things in
the body that it needs too,
00:07:10.16\00:07:12.10
so everything
points back to God.
00:07:12.13\00:07:14.05
Well I think the
thing that's so amazing is
00:07:14.49\00:07:16.16
talking about the
cholesterol issue but all
00:07:16.83\00:07:18.42
the information
that comes from 3ABN.
00:07:18.45\00:07:20.35
That we're constantly
trying to uplift God and
00:07:20.86\00:07:25.19
keeping them in the
position where he needs
00:07:25.22\00:07:26.59
to be as the creator of
everything all things okay.
00:07:26.62\00:07:29.27
So everything
points back to God,
00:07:29.74\00:07:31.11
everything, another
thing that also increases
00:07:31.14\00:07:33.54
our cholesterol
is emotional stress.
00:07:33.57\00:07:36.39
See we can not eat
any cholesterol type foods
00:07:37.04\00:07:40.32
into our mouth be
a vegetarian or be a
00:07:40.35\00:07:42.71
vegan vegetarian
or plant based diet.
00:07:42.74\00:07:44.75
But, yet have not the
where with all to manage
00:07:45.40\00:07:48.32
emotional stress, that in itself
00:07:48.76\00:07:51.62
will raise our cholesterol.
00:07:51.85\00:07:53.22
Also not
getting enough sunlight,
00:07:53.93\00:07:56.98
now we did a
program several years ago
00:07:57.01\00:07:58.83
entitled there's
something new on the sun.
00:07:58.86\00:08:01.54
And of course we don't
have time to go through
00:08:02.20\00:08:03.76
that but just to purpose
that, to see what are not
00:08:03.79\00:08:07.83
sun at well low
your cholesterol it does
00:08:07.86\00:08:09.98
lower your cholesterol
by the way go outside
00:08:10.01\00:08:12.50
in the sun
preferably maybe mid morning or
00:08:12.53\00:08:16.20
late afternoon with
most of your skin exposed.
00:08:16.35\00:08:19.53
Now of course folks
you want still be you
00:08:19.66\00:08:21.35
know decent you
know maybe doing in the
00:08:21.38\00:08:23.55
backyard with lot of
bushes around, still decent.
00:08:23.58\00:08:25.59
Yeah but still
decent, skin exposed to the
00:08:25.62\00:08:28.35
sunlight, for at
least maybe 30 minutes or an
00:08:28.38\00:08:30.74
hour, go back inside
and check your cholesterol,
00:08:30.77\00:08:33.55
your cholesterol
would drop and so very
00:08:33.58\00:08:36.14
amazing for us,
sunlight will lower your
00:08:36.17\00:08:37.66
cholesterol, emotional stress
00:08:37.69\00:08:39.69
how to handle that.
Anti-stress measures
00:08:39.72\00:08:42.77
will lower one's cholesterol.
00:08:42.80\00:08:44.17
So, it's not just a
food issue and there's also
00:08:44.20\00:08:46.41
genetic disposition as
well, but again we don't
00:08:46.44\00:08:49.64
really promote that
as much because I think a
00:08:49.67\00:08:51.56
lot of times that
has been given so much
00:08:51.59\00:08:55.10
credibility of
genetic disposition where
00:08:55.48\00:08:57.90
I think a lot of times
it's really lifestyle overall.
00:08:57.93\00:09:01.23
Yeah I'm kind of
thinking and also in
00:09:01.26\00:09:03.10
the same line which
you are saying about being
00:09:03.13\00:09:05.80
under stress, right.
And then actually going
00:09:05.83\00:09:07.94
out and taking a
walk in nature, yes.
00:09:07.97\00:09:09.54
Taking a walk when
the sun is out, we always
00:09:09.57\00:09:12.41
say once again that
you wanna go out before
00:09:12.44\00:09:14.55
10'O clock before sun
gets very hot and then
00:09:14.58\00:09:16.94
you don't want to do
again later on the afternoon.
00:09:16.97\00:09:18.59
But, just going out
being a nature, right,
00:09:19.01\00:09:21.52
take a walk with the sun on
00:09:21.55\00:09:23.72
you and the Son of God in you.
00:09:23.75\00:09:25.76
Okay watch it now,
okay, okay you start
00:09:25.79\00:09:27.77
preaching now baby,
now that will take the
00:09:27.80\00:09:29.45
stress down,
okay and it will also
00:09:29.48\00:09:32.34
lower the cholesterol.
Alright talk 50 girl
00:09:32.37\00:09:35.04
alright you got to go on now.
00:09:35.07\00:09:36.44
Don't get you
started; okay, okay now.
00:09:37.95\00:09:39.72
Okay, another thing
is that make sure that we
00:09:39.99\00:09:42.48
do this sunlight
treatment that we
00:09:42.51\00:09:44.29
wanna make sure that
the skin is dry and clean.
00:09:44.32\00:09:46.43
That way it will
not cause any burning
00:09:46.70\00:09:49.17
sensation, to those
who usually get skin cancer
00:09:49.20\00:09:53.16
or those individuals
who have a high fat diet
00:09:53.19\00:09:57.09
in their meal
planning. So, again when the
00:09:57.49\00:10:01.33
sunlight strikes the
skin because of the high fat
00:10:01.36\00:10:03.73
diet it will turn that
skin to cancer so again those
00:10:03.76\00:10:07.26
who have a plant
based diet and there's been
00:10:07.29\00:10:08.94
studies done in
Houston, Texas about...
00:10:08.97\00:10:11.85
with different two
groups of rats and in
00:10:12.58\00:10:14.76
fair one group of
rats a plant based diet,
00:10:14.79\00:10:16.79
another group of
rats a high fat diet.
00:10:17.54\00:10:19.72
And then they exposed
both groups of rats to
00:10:19.95\00:10:22.09
the sunlight, the
ultraviolet rays of the sun.
00:10:22.12\00:10:24.19
And those are rats had
a plant based diet did not
00:10:24.61\00:10:27.24
have any skin
cancers. Those rats have had a
00:10:27.27\00:10:29.56
fat based diet had
a lot of skin cancers.
00:10:29.59\00:10:32.51
So, again it's not just
the sunlight that causes
00:10:32.90\00:10:35.03
skin cancer but the
foods that we eat, a high
00:10:35.06\00:10:38.10
fat diet that when
sunlight does strike to
00:10:38.13\00:10:41.07
skin it turns to
cancer. So, the sun is
00:10:41.10\00:10:43.88
not the blame,
aright. Well, and of course
00:10:43.91\00:10:46.46
they want more
information on that,
00:10:46.49\00:10:47.86
when they have to call back 3ABN
00:10:47.89\00:10:49.26
and get the tape or something.
00:10:49.29\00:10:50.66
Oh they email us
yeah we give some more
00:10:50.69\00:10:52.06
information. Now
let's look at some
00:10:52.09\00:10:53.72
letters here, we
hear the LDL, VLDL, HDL.
00:10:54.78\00:10:58.93
Let's talk about that
and what did they mean as
00:10:59.19\00:11:01.04
far as overall
cholesterol is concerned.
00:11:01.07\00:11:02.79
Well first of all a lot
of time, people are trying
00:11:02.82\00:11:04.38
to find out what their
cholesterol levels are?
00:11:04.41\00:11:06.01
What they would do is
go and you might be at
00:11:06.40\00:11:08.46
a health fair
somewhere and you have them pick
00:11:08.49\00:11:10.32
your finger and you
go off and you come back
00:11:10.35\00:11:12.32
to get that number
to find out what your
00:11:12.35\00:11:14.05
cholesterol score
is, okay. Basically when
00:11:14.08\00:11:16.91
you have your
cholesterol done you
00:11:16.94\00:11:18.62
need to have we
call a full blood panel.
00:11:18.65\00:11:21.19
Which means that they
don't just pick the finger
00:11:21.55\00:11:23.56
and then just give
you the overall score,
00:11:23.92\00:11:25.77
which can be very
high. But you want them to
00:11:25.97\00:11:27.87
go inside and find
out what those scores are?
00:11:27.90\00:11:30.08
Okay. You wanna find
out what is your LDL,
00:11:30.11\00:11:32.02
like you said your
HDL, your VLDL, okay.
00:11:32.05\00:11:34.58
LDL standing for
Low Density Lipoprotein.
00:11:35.16\00:11:37.46
Okay. HDL, High-
Density Lipoprotein.
00:11:37.84\00:11:40.51
And VLDL Very Low
Density Lipoprotein.
00:11:40.93\00:11:44.38
And then also in that
whole configuration is
00:11:44.66\00:11:46.46
also your triglyceride levels.
00:11:46.49\00:11:48.65
And you wanna make
sure that you can see
00:11:49.00\00:11:50.75
these levels this for
you actually go in and see
00:11:50.78\00:11:53.07
what's going on,
okay. In order for fat to go
00:11:53.10\00:11:55.88
into the bloodstream,
it has to be broken down
00:11:55.91\00:11:57.87
to his most single
unit. And once that really get
00:11:57.90\00:12:00.68
on, we call a
lipoprotein, it's called
00:12:00.71\00:12:02.84
lipoprotein it
gets on the back of a
00:12:02.87\00:12:05.25
lipoprotein train and
that's why it's call lipo
00:12:05.28\00:12:08.98
lipid protein, okay,
gets on the train and on that
00:12:09.01\00:12:12.63
train it goes right
into the cell to give us the
00:12:12.66\00:12:15.15
energy and the stuff
that we need to have.
00:12:15.18\00:12:16.66
Well the HDL the
good guys, the good guys,
00:12:16.99\00:12:20.28
going in very easily,
the LDL means there's too
00:12:20.31\00:12:23.16
much fat still, VLDL
very much fat and these
00:12:23.19\00:12:27.17
have a hard time.
So, they remain in the
00:12:27.20\00:12:29.12
bloodstream and by
the being of bloodstream
00:12:29.15\00:12:31.32
they calls a problem of building
00:12:31.48\00:12:32.85
up plaque in the
system. Okay now look at some
00:12:32.88\00:12:35.57
numbers now the
HDL, and LDL what numbers
00:12:35.60\00:12:38.30
that we're looking at
that one and some time
00:12:38.33\00:12:39.96
it would be on a full
panel blood lipid profile
00:12:39.99\00:12:42.32
but just for, in this program.
00:12:42.35\00:12:43.97
Well there was a
time Curtis when I used to
00:12:44.00\00:12:45.37
say that if we could
just get those HDL the good
00:12:45.40\00:12:47.14
guys above 35
will be good, yeah.
00:12:47.17\00:12:50.14
That's not been
true, what's been going on
00:12:50.17\00:12:51.93
now is more
research has come out and
00:12:51.96\00:12:53.47
they're discovering
now that our HDL levels
00:12:53.50\00:12:55.45
need to be above 60,
right, alright, above 60
00:12:55.48\00:12:58.17
HDL, now what about the LDL?
00:12:58.20\00:12:59.67
Now we do the LDL
we're talking about
00:12:59.70\00:13:01.12
below a 100,
okay. And the same thing
00:13:01.15\00:13:03.38
with our triglyceride levels.
00:13:03.41\00:13:04.78
You wanna get
those numbers low because
00:13:05.03\00:13:07.00
the higher they are, the
higher the overall score.
00:13:07.03\00:13:09.44
However I do wanna
emphasize once again is
00:13:09.76\00:13:11.69
that you could have
a nice high score which
00:13:11.72\00:13:13.87
Curtis is gonna talk
about little bit later.
00:13:13.90\00:13:15.37
A high score but you
HDL, the good guys are
00:13:15.70\00:13:18.73
ones gonna be
high. We always say you
00:13:18.76\00:13:20.13
want high HDLs, Hi I'm
so glad if you are here,
00:13:20.16\00:13:24.49
HDL the good guy, yes,
yes, okay alright then.
00:13:24.52\00:13:27.09
Well so let's go. I
think one of things that we
00:13:27.31\00:13:29.41
wanna talk about here
is that the risk factors
00:13:29.44\00:13:31.55
concerning cholesterol, as it
00:13:31.77\00:13:33.25
relates to heart
disease. Okay, yeah again high
00:13:33.28\00:13:36.72
cholesterol does have
a risk factor for heart
00:13:36.75\00:13:39.41
disease and stroke.
That's the number one
00:13:39.44\00:13:42.39
and number three
killers in this nation and
00:13:42.42\00:13:44.33
of course when
you combined those
00:13:44.36\00:13:45.73
together, you're
looking at almost one million
00:13:45.76\00:13:48.17
people per year,
wow. Okay cardiovascular
00:13:48.20\00:13:51.87
disease what we
call in dying composes,
00:13:51.90\00:13:53.67
heart disease
and stroke as well.
00:13:53.70\00:13:55.07
And so as cholesterol
numbers go up the risk
00:13:55.49\00:13:59.88
of heart disease
also goes up as well,
00:13:59.91\00:14:03.36
there is a direct
correlation between the
00:14:03.53\00:14:05.17
two and that's
been studied in numerous
00:14:05.20\00:14:08.32
occasions for the
last 15, 20 years or so.
00:14:08.35\00:14:10.97
Let's look at our
graphic here and let's really,
00:14:11.50\00:14:13.48
this is gonna be an eye opener.
00:14:14.21\00:14:15.58
At the bottom
graph here you have the
00:14:16.34\00:14:17.83
cholesterol serum
cholesterol number and
00:14:17.86\00:14:20.56
it starts at 140 and
goes all the way to 300.
00:14:20.59\00:14:23.81
As you see here that
the higher the overall
00:14:24.20\00:14:27.36
cholesterol the
greater their heart disease
00:14:27.39\00:14:30.34
deaths from
individuals who have heart
00:14:30.72\00:14:32.86
cholesterol numbers.
Now at the left corner
00:14:32.89\00:14:35.96
there or left hand
side of this graph that
00:14:35.99\00:14:38.63
represents 1000. So,
again those individuals
00:14:38.66\00:14:42.83
who have a high
cholesterol number,
00:14:42.86\00:14:45.51
then it would be a
higher rate of death
00:14:46.17\00:14:48.57
from cardiovascular disease.
00:14:48.84\00:14:51.41
Now information
out there in the media
00:14:51.85\00:14:54.55
suggests as of late
that one's cholesterol should
00:14:54.70\00:14:57.57
be less than 200.
But, again we are saying
00:14:57.60\00:15:01.67
the cholesterol
should be less than 180.
00:15:01.95\00:15:06.64
So, when you see that
180 there, the left hand
00:15:07.16\00:15:09.91
side of that, very
few people are dying with
00:15:09.94\00:15:12.69
cholesterol or less than 180.
00:15:12.72\00:15:14.52
But, again look
at 180 and above.
00:15:14.93\00:15:17.44
There is a great
amount of individuals who are
00:15:17.85\00:15:19.96
dying from heart disease and the
00:15:19.99\00:15:21.74
cholesterol is above
180 maybe 180 to 200 that's
00:15:21.77\00:15:25.35
quite a few there.
So, again the lower
00:15:25.38\00:15:27.62
the cholesterol
overall cholesterol then a less
00:15:27.65\00:15:30.63
rate of going of
dying from heart disease.
00:15:30.66\00:15:33.98
So, we should also have
our cholesterol below 180.
00:15:34.17\00:15:38.06
Now we even suggest,
we even suggest to have
00:15:38.40\00:15:41.78
your overall
cholesterol less than 150.
00:15:41.81\00:15:44.73
There is no one
on record based on
00:15:45.78\00:15:47.71
Framingham studies
there in New England
00:15:47.74\00:15:50.06
of anyone dying of
one's cholesterol less
00:15:50.45\00:15:54.72
than 150. Now our
cholesterol is in 140s
00:15:54.87\00:15:58.92
so we wanna get that
180 that's the maximum
00:15:59.11\00:16:02.94
but the lower the
better, because you see on that
00:16:03.35\00:16:05.62
graph there that
even those who have
00:16:05.65\00:16:07.66
cholesterol, let's say
180 to 200 there's still a
00:16:07.69\00:16:10.53
quite amount of
death of those individuals
00:16:10.56\00:16:13.22
with that cholesterol number.
00:16:13.25\00:16:14.62
You know isn't
that absolutely amazing
00:16:14.95\00:16:16.32
because I remember
a time when they would
00:16:16.35\00:16:17.82
say our overall
score was supposing 220,
00:16:17.85\00:16:20.57
yeah, oh 220. And
then it went down to 200,
00:16:20.60\00:16:23.43
then it went down to
190, now we're saying
00:16:24.11\00:16:27.01
180 but really
the lower the better,
00:16:27.04\00:16:29.59
the lower the better.
Yeah, which means that
00:16:29.62\00:16:30.99
you can not have
no milk, no eggs,
00:16:31.02\00:16:32.39
no cheese or
anything in your diet.
00:16:32.42\00:16:33.79
I mean because
actually the more foods you eat
00:16:33.82\00:16:35.58
that have cholesterol
in them, then that means
00:16:35.61\00:16:37.58
that the more
chance you gonna have with
00:16:37.61\00:16:39.40
the higher score.
And the lifestyle and
00:16:39.43\00:16:41.70
into next time we
meet, what would bring that
00:16:41.73\00:16:44.67
cholesterol down.
There's foods in nature,
00:16:44.70\00:16:47.42
three foods in
particular, a food
00:16:48.18\00:16:50.00
groups that would
simply drop it down
00:16:50.03\00:16:52.02
just like medication, so that's
00:16:52.39\00:16:53.91
the next time we
meet. We'll talk about that
00:16:53.94\00:16:55.58
ratio also about the
ratio kind of explain to us
00:16:55.61\00:16:58.88
what does that
mean by the ratio when
00:16:58.91\00:17:01.03
you talk about cholesterol?
Okay let's go to our last
00:17:01.06\00:17:04.26
graphic and this is
very profound as well we
00:17:04.29\00:17:06.33
need to understand
the cholesterol ratio,
00:17:06.36\00:17:08.12
let's go to our last graphic.
00:17:08.15\00:17:09.52
Alright let's say
that I have my cholesterol
00:17:09.63\00:17:12.31
check, now these are
of course our fictitious
00:17:12.34\00:17:13.80
numbers are cholesterol
I think last checking
00:17:13.83\00:17:15.84
about 140, but just
for sake of graphic here
00:17:15.87\00:17:19.52
let's say my cholesterol
is 190 overall cholesterol.
00:17:20.00\00:17:22.81
But, honey yours is 220
not at this point here it
00:17:23.15\00:17:27.62
would appear that I'm
in better shape than you
00:17:27.65\00:17:30.52
are honey, could my
cholesterol is lower
00:17:30.55\00:17:33.48
than your
cholesterol? You must be eating
00:17:33.51\00:17:35.63
little bit more, I
don't know cheeseburgers,
00:17:35.66\00:17:37.18
I don't know
whatever. Okay now so at this
00:17:37.21\00:17:39.88
point here I'm in
better shape, however let's go
00:17:39.91\00:17:43.94
to the next graphic
here, let's look at the HDL,
00:17:43.97\00:17:47.77
remember now
these are the good guys,
00:17:48.06\00:17:50.47
once HDL should be
at least 60 or above.
00:17:51.08\00:17:55.14
Wait a minute now
my HDL is only 38,
00:17:55.80\00:17:59.59
that's below the
level 60 of course.
00:17:59.99\00:18:02.31
But now your HDL
honey is 73, now to get
00:18:02.67\00:18:08.26
the ratio you divide
cholesterol by the HDL.
00:18:08.29\00:18:12.22
So, therefore my
ratio will be 5.0,
00:18:12.78\00:18:17.22
your ratio is 3.0 one's ratio
00:18:18.29\00:18:22.10
should be less than
3.5. So when you look at the
00:18:22.13\00:18:27.62
ratio the
overall ratio the HDL and
00:18:27.65\00:18:31.53
cholesterol you're
really in a better shape
00:18:31.56\00:18:34.21
because your HDL
is very high there
00:18:34.43\00:18:37.20
by your ratio is less than 3.5.
00:18:37.23\00:18:40.85
Well you know
Curtis made that graphic up
00:18:42.10\00:18:44.36
and let me just read
on and say it for record.
00:18:44.39\00:18:46.55
I don't eat cheeseburgers
hello, okay Mr. Eakins.
00:18:46.93\00:18:50.49
Now okay see that for
the sake of illustration.
00:18:50.52\00:18:52.86
Okay for illustration,
when I heard the word
00:18:52.89\00:18:54.66
