How Elevated Levels Of Homocysteine Affect
MenopauseThe amino acid called homocysteine naturally
occurs in our bodies and is essential for many of our body's
processes that is until the levels of homocysteine become elevated
and escape into the bloodstream and turn toxic.Recent medical studies agree that elevated
levels of homocysteine have a serious impact and are an independent
risk factor in the development of such degenerative conditions as:
heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis and Alzheimer's. Hundreds of
studies have confirmed that elevated levels of homocysteine
contribute to:
-
Thickening arteries and weakening heart
tissue, leading to heart disease and stroke
Building fibrous webs in the brain,
leading to dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Impacting DNA function, causing
mutations that can be manifested as cancer
-
Destroying normal bone structure, causing
weak bones and osteoporosis
Ideally, homocysteine does its job and stays
where it belongs; however, stress, aging, menopause, poor lifestyle
choices, inadequate nutrition all contribute to elevated levels of
homocysteine. One of the major causes of elevated homocysteine is a
diet deficient in Vitamin B-12, Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid. When
elevated homocysteine escapes into the bloodstream it begins to
destroy critical processes and functions of our body.Menopausal
women, no matter what stage of menopause: peri menopause, menopause or post menopause, but especially post menopause, are at higher risk
for developing elevated levels of homocysteine.The GOOD News....... There Is A Natural Way
To Lower Your Homocysteine Levels And Keep The Balance.The only way to lower your homocysteine
levels and maintain the natural balance of homocysteine in your body
is by supplementation with Vitamin B-12, Vitamin B6 and Folic Acid,
