Cardiovascular disease risk factor response to a sustained carbohydrate restriction

Sustained carbohydrate restriction used for reversing type 2 diabetes also lowered risk factors for Cardiovascular disease. 

Published May 1, 2018

Conclusion

A continuous care treatment including nutritional ketosis in patients with type 2 diabetes improved most biomarkers of CVD risk after 1 year. The increase in LDL-cholesterol appeared limited to the large LDL subfraction. LDL particle size increased, total LDL-P and ApoB were unchanged, and inflammation and blood pressure decreased.

Low Carb Diets in Healthy Adults Improve Cardiometabolic Outcomes

Low carb diets positive cardio impact on Healthy adults

Published February 5, 2019

Conclusion

Low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets have a positive effect on markers of health. Adherence to the allocation of carbohydrate was more easily achieved in MCD, and LCD groups compared to VLCKD and there were comparable improvements in weight loss and waist circumference and greater improvements in HDL-c and TG with greater carbohydrate restriction.

Heart Disease Explained

On our webinar, Carl asks the question about heart disease, and I had done some research and below is some of the resources and findings.

First, so that we are on the same page, let’s start with a definition.

The cardiovascular disease generally refers to conditions that involve narrowed or blocked blood vessels that can lead to a heart attack, chest pain (angina) or stroke. Other heart conditions, such as those that affect your heart’s muscle, valves or rhythm, also are considered forms of heart disease.

This information focuses on Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a condition which affects the arteries that supply the heart with blood. It is usually caused by atherosclerosis which is a buildup of plaque inside the artery walls. This buildup causes the inside of the arteries to become narrower and slows down the flow of blood.
