Cholesterol Reduction
Elevated cholesterol is associated with a greater-than-normal risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. While antioxidants inhibit cholesterol from oxidizing onto the linings of the arteries, knowing and controlling cholesterol levels are still important steps in preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Estimates are that 52% of the total population have cholesterol levels of 200 mg/dL, and about 21% have levels of 240 or above. In adults, total cholesterol levels from 200 to 239 mg/dL are considered borderline-high, while levels above 240 are considered dangerously high. Knowing cholesterol numbers can allow a person to manage “fat intake,” which has other benefits, such as lowering one’s risk of various cancers caused by fat-soluble toxins.
Types of Cholesterol and the impact on Your Health
Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is called the “bad” form of cholesterol. LDL carries most of the cholesterol in the blood, and the cholesterol from LDLs is the main source of damaging accumulation and blockage in the arteries. Thus, the more LDLcholesterol, you have in your blood, greater your risk of disease. If you have coronary heart disease (CHD) and your LDL is higher than 100 mg/dL, your cholesterol may well be too high for you.
High Density Lipoprotein (HDL)
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is called the “good” form of cholesterol. HDL picks up and transports cholesterol in blood back to the liver, which leads to its elimination from the body. HDL helps keep LDL cholesterol from building up in walls of the arteries. If your level of HDL cholesterol is below 35 mg/dL, you are at substantially higher risk for CHD. The higher your HDL cholesterol level, the better. The average HDL-cholesterol for men is about 45 mg/dL and for women it is about 55 mg/dL.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a form of fat carried through the bloodstream. Most of your body’s fat is in the form of triglycerides stored in fat tissue. Only a small portion of your triglycerides are found in the bloodstream. High blood triglyceride levels alone do not cause atherosclerosis. But lipoproteins that are rich in triglycerides also contain cholesterol, which causes atherosclerosis in many people with high triglycerides. High triglycerides may be a sign of a lipoprotein problem that contributes to CHD.
But LDL cholesterol is not really bad in its native form because God did not make a mistake when he created it. Native LDL cholesterol is good. In fact, it is essential for building good cell membrane, other cell parts, and many different hormones that our body needs. Problems begin when native LDL cholesterols are oxidized by free radicals in our body and make them harmful cholesterol. The high environmental pollutions, our stressful life style and a good nutrients depleted diet are the main causes of over production of free radicals in our body. Those free radicals play the main role to oxidize LDL cholesterol and make it harmful to our body. The inner layer of our artery is called endothelium which is an extremely sensitive lining, vulnerable to even the slightest irritation. Oxidized cholesterol and excessive free radicals cause oxidative stress that injures the endothelium and in that portion, the atherosclerotic plaque develops.
Role of Noni
To neutralize the notorious activity of those free radicals to convert the native LDL cholesterol to harmful LDL cholesterol, it is powerful antioxidants are required. Those antioxidants not only neutralize the effect of free radicals on the vessels cells but also to other cells.
DIVINE NONI juice is high in antioxidants. NONI has powerful antioxidant properties that help to neutralize the free radicals role of oxidation of the native LDL cholesterol to harmful LDL cholesterol and thus protects the arterial endothelial lining from injury and future developing atheromatous plaque. The main antioxidants are vitamins A, E and C, beta-carotene, glutathione, bioflavonoid, selenium, zinc, CoQ10 (ubiquinone) and various phyto-chemicals. NONI is rich in vit A, Beta carotene, vit E, C, glutathione, bioflavonoid, selenium, zinc and many more essential phytochemicals. Melatonin, a hormone produced by pineal gland, is also a potent antioxidant. NONI helps to stimulate more melatonin release from the pineal gland.
Why Noni works as powerful antioxidants
There are two reasons :
- Unique Combination of Substances
- Synergy of its Substances
Noni and Nitric oxide – its role in preventing arterial cells damage
Normally the layer of endothelium functions well by releasing an important product called nitric oxide (NO). During this inflammatory response of forming the plaques, the appropriate release of nitric oxide is blocked from the endothelium, causing endothelium to function poorly. NONI helps to proper production of nitric oxide in our body and thus helps endothelium to function smoothly.
Noni promotes the cellular growth
In addition to the antioxidant activity in Noni, Dr. Ralph Heinicke, pinpointed one constituent in Noni that he believes is responsible for Juice’s ability to promote cellular growth. These are parts of his postulated xeronine system, which consists of proxeronine, proxeroninase and xeronine.
Noni stops the formation of artery lesions. Healthy arteries are lined with a smooth layer of cells so that blood can race through with no resistance. This layer becomes thick and overgrown with cells as a consequence of diseased arteries. As the artery narrows, blood flow slows down or is blocked completely. Noni can stop the proliferation of these cells in much the same way as lipid-lowering drugs.
