Ano ang tunay ja Cause ng Heart Diseaseโ๏ธ
Matagal nang sinisisi ang cholesterol sa pagkakaroon ng heart disease.
Pero ayon sa recent studies, hindi cholesterol kundi ang sobra-sobrang asukal at refined carbs ang mas malakas na sangkot sa paglala ng cardiovascular disease (CVD).
๐ง Bakit po mas delikado ang sugar kaysa cholesterol?
1๏ธโฃ Sugar causes insulin resistance
โค Nagdudulot ito ng chronic inflammation na sumisira sa mga blood vessels at nagpapabilis ng plaque formation.
2๏ธโฃ Mataas na sugar intake = mataas na triglycerides
โค Isa ito sa pinaka-strong na risk factor ng heart disease โ mas delikado pa kaysa LDL cholesterol.
3๏ธโฃ Fructose from added sugars (soft drinks, desserts)
โค Tumataas ang visceral fat, blood pressure, at fatty liver โ lahat ay konektado sa CVD.
4๏ธโฃ Sugar damages the endothelium
โค Binubutas at sinisira ang lining ng arteries, nagdudulot ng atherosclerosis (pagbara sa ugat).
๐ฌ JAMA Internal Medicine (2014)
โค High added sugar intake = higher cardiovascular mortality risk โ kahit normal ang cholesterol.

โ๏ธ How about cholesterol?
โ
Dietary cholesterol has minimal effect on blood cholesterol for most people.
โ
Maraming pasyente na inaatake sa puso ay may normal LDL โ pero mataas ang triglycerides at mababa ang HDL (signs of metabolic dysfunction).
โ Hindi itlog, karne, o taba ang kalaban.
โ
Ang tunay na panganib ay asukal, refined carbs, at ultra-processed food.
โค๏ธ Choose real food. Protect your heart.
