Women are increasingly seeking ways how to lower cholesterol naturally because menopause increases their LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and Statin drugs have not been shown to be effective in reducing heart disease for most women. (SWAN/ASCOT Study) An astounding 54 million American women have high cholesterol and statin drugs have a higher reported rate of side effects in women. (Time Magazine) There are natural alternatives that have been shown to be safe and effective.
Solana Beach, CA (PRWEB) August 23, 2011
If Statins Don’t Work For Women, What Are The Alternatives?
Women are blessed with higher HDL cholesterol (the ‘good’ type) which is protective in regards to heart disease, but when they reach menopause their LDL cholesterol increases. "As they approach menopause, many, many women show a very striking increase in cholesterol levels, which in turn increases risk for later heart disease," says the lead author of the SWAN study, Karen A. Matthews, Ph.D.(1)
As of this writing, an estimated 12 million otherwise healthy American women take prescription Statin drugs. Traditionally this has been the “one size fits all” approach to how to lower cholesterol. However, research is starting to show that the benefits that men enjoy do not cross the gender divide. (2)
Statins Not Beneficial for Most Women
Prior to the 1990’s women were generally excluded from clinical drug trials because of the hormonal fluctuations that could cause problems in measuring data. The result is that Statin drugs, which have decades-worth of test data on men, have very little data documenting their benefits for women.
Recent gender based studies show that the development of heart disease may affect women in very different ways than men. In fact the ASCOT study, the largest randomized clinical study of Statin effectiveness in women, failed to show that the use of Statins lowers risk of heart disease in women who do not already have coronary heart disease or diabetes. (3) For women seeking how to lower cholesterol, this kind of information should drive them to search out proven alternatives.
The Benefits Must Outweigh The Risks
To add insult to injury, there is evidence that the side effects associated with Statins, including: muscle pain, numbness, and memory loss, are even more prevalent and more severe in women than men. (2) "There are millions of women on a drug with no known benefit and risks that are detrimental to their lifestyle — and no one is talking about it. Why?" asks Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiologist at the University of California, San Francisco.
All of this data has motivated many women to seek natural ways to lower cholesterol. Approaches include exercise, diet, and stress reduction. These ideas to lower cholesterol all work to some degree; however, for many, lifestyle changes alone won’t get their cholesterol down enough. Thankfully there is an all-natural, proven alternative called Cardiol that can help.
