you know what’s really interesting is that heart  disease starts when you’re really young like i’m talking seven years old it’s incredible they have  found lesions in the aorta in virtually a hundred percent of children between the ages of seven and  nine so i wanted to do this video to increase your awareness on how early this condition actually  starts and also to understand the cascade effect uh from very very early stages into later stages  because you don’t want to wait until you have heart attack symptoms you want to understand the  mechanism you don’t want to wait till you have calcium building up an artery or some type of  clot to then make a change in your life there’s a test a very important test i highly recommend  everyone get it it’s called a cac test it stands for coronary artery calcification test and it  doesn’t take that long it’s not very expensive but it measures calcium in your arteries and  it’s one of the best predictors of mortality so definitely get that test and i’ll put  a link down below for more information also on a video showing my test results but you  want the results to be zero you don’t want any calcium in your arteries because that already  tells us that you’ve had inflammation you had oxidative stress you had breakdown of the smooth  muscle and that’s been going on a long time so let’s talk about the cascade of effect and what  happens first second third and fourth the very start of heart disease starts with something  called oxidative stress and this is a situation where you have an imbalance of too much oxidation  versus not enough antioxidants to protect you from the oxidation if that occurs if it’s out  of balance you have oxidative stress and what oxidative stress does it’s very similar to rusting  out your car you’re starting to get a breakdown in the surface and that’s what happens in the smooth  muscle either on the inner part of the artery or the next layer deep it’s called necrosis  okay you’re getting a breakdown of those cells caused by oxidation then the body starts  turning on all its different wound healing mechanisms and you get inflammation and you get  the immune system coming in with macrophages start cleaning up the damage and as part of the  band-aid you get micro-calcification tiny amounts of calcium that are coming in there to act as a  kind of a band-aid so the cell walls get thicker you start getting more calcification you get more  fibrosis that’s uh the protein that lays down with cholesterol and that’s what makes up  plaque so plaque is basically a band-aid so the most important thing to know of this cascade  effect is about oxidation and what really causes oxidation higher levels of glucose in the  blood is probably the the number one cause of oxidation so you must reduce the amount of  carbohydrates in your body okay that’s number one and also the omega-6 fatty acids very inflammatory  there’s been a big push in the last 20-30 years to replace the saturated fats with unsaturated fats  unfortunately that led to a lot more omega-6 fatty acids which creates a lot of oxidation in center  arteries inside our organs in the eye so number one as a preventative thing you want to cut those  out of your diet number two you want to start increasing your antioxidants where those come from  well plant foods cruciferous other healthy foods but your own body makes antioxidants it has  networks of antioxidants and it needs certain trace minerals to make these antioxidants  like selenium and zinc and so on and so forth the most important vitamin for the inside of  your arteries as an antioxidant is vitamin e if you have any weakness or a history of having a  lot of oxidative foods you should probably start taking vitamin e in the form of tocotrienols  and it works like 50 times stronger than tocopherols and it can go into your arteries  and start to really protect you the next thing to focus on is fasting fasting helps to heal the  inside of the arteries and it can also help build up the natural antioxidant networks of the body  so fasting is one of the best things you can do to help reverse heart disease and there’s another  thing you can get ordering on amazon or some other place it’s called edta this is a chelator and it  helps to pull out excess calcium from the arteries i did a video on this very very powerful there’s  a certain method or way that you would take it because it’s going to pull out other minerals  you’d want to put back the minerals that you want and allow this product to take out the minerals  that you don’t want but it’s a great chelator it’s great for circulation and many other things  number five having enough potassium in the diet very very important because if you’re low on  potassium which many people are because they don’t eat a lot of salad your body will start to pull  in more calcium deposits okay i did a whole video on that i’ll put a link down below but potassium  will keep your arteries very elastic very flexible and they can prevent the buildup of calcium in  your arteries and lastly vitamin k2 now this is rare but it can happen where people can start  building up not just calcium in the arteries but actual bone in the arteries and that’s  because they’re missing vitamin k2 vitamin k2 keeps the calcium in your bone and it  keeps the calcium and the calcium formation from occurring in your arteries all right thanks  for watching i will see you in the next video hey before you go if you’re benefiting  from any of my content i would love to hear about your success
