In the January newsletter article, Five Components to Healthy Aging, I touched upon the five most critical ways individuals can stay healthy throughout their lives. Beginning with this newsletter, I would like to expand upon those five components and delve deeper into each one in the coming months, starting with cardiovascular health, in order to help develop a comprehensive anti-aging strategy.
In Five Components to Healthy Aging, I emphasized the importance of lowering cholesterol and homocysteine levels. In this newsletter, I will address other interrelated factors that play an equally important role in heart health: arterial calcification (atherosclerosis), thrombus (clot formation) and high fibrinogen and C-Reactive Protein levels.
