you know what’s really interesting is that heart  disease starts when you’re really young like i’m  

talking seven years old it’s incredible they have  found lesions in the aorta in virtually a hundred  

percent of children between the ages of seven and  nine so i wanted to do this video to increase your  

awareness on how early this condition actually  starts and also to understand the cascade effect  

uh from very very early stages into later stages  because you don’t want to wait until you have  

heart attack symptoms you want to understand the  mechanism you don’t want to wait till you have  

calcium building up an artery or some type of  clot to then make a change in your life there’s  

a test a very important test i highly recommend  everyone get it it’s called a cac test it stands  

for coronary artery calcification test and it  doesn’t take that long it’s not very expensive  

but it measures calcium in your arteries and  it’s one of the best predictors of mortality  

so definitely get that test and i’ll put  a link down below for more information  

also on a video showing my test results but you  want the results to be zero you don’t want any  

calcium in your arteries because that already  tells us that you’ve had inflammation you had  

oxidative stress you had breakdown of the smooth  muscle and that’s been going on a long time so  

let’s talk about the cascade of effect and what  happens first second third and fourth the very  

start of heart disease starts with something  called oxidative stress and this is a situation  

where you have an imbalance of too much oxidation  versus not enough antioxidants to protect you  

from the oxidation if that occurs if it’s out  of balance you have oxidative stress and what  

oxidative stress does it’s very similar to rusting  out your car you’re starting to get a breakdown in  

the surface and that’s what happens in the smooth  muscle either on the inner part of the artery  

or the next layer deep it’s called necrosis  okay you’re getting a breakdown of those cells  

caused by oxidation then the body starts  turning on all its different wound healing  

mechanisms and you get inflammation and you get  the immune system coming in with macrophages  

start cleaning up the damage and as part of the  band-aid you get micro-calcification tiny amounts  

of calcium that are coming in there to act as a  kind of a band-aid so the cell walls get thicker  

you start getting more calcification you get more  fibrosis that’s uh the protein that lays down  

with cholesterol and that’s what makes up  plaque so plaque is basically a band-aid so  

the most important thing to know of this cascade  effect is about oxidation and what really causes  

oxidation higher levels of glucose in the  blood is probably the the number one cause  

of oxidation so you must reduce the amount of  carbohydrates in your body okay that’s number one  

and also the omega-6 fatty acids very inflammatory  there’s been a big push in the last 20-30 years to  

replace the saturated fats with unsaturated fats  unfortunately that led to a lot more omega-6 fatty  

acids which creates a lot of oxidation in center  arteries inside our organs in the eye so number  

one as a preventative thing you want to cut those  out of your diet number two you want to start  

increasing your antioxidants where those come from  well plant foods cruciferous other healthy foods  

but your own body makes antioxidants it has  networks of antioxidants and it needs certain  

trace minerals to make these antioxidants  like selenium and zinc and so on and so forth  

the most important vitamin for the inside of  your arteries as an antioxidant is vitamin e  

if you have any weakness or a history of having a  lot of oxidative foods you should probably start  

taking vitamin e in the form of tocotrienols  and it works like 50 times stronger than  

tocopherols and it can go into your arteries  and start to really protect you the next thing  

to focus on is fasting fasting helps to heal the  inside of the arteries and it can also help build  

up the natural antioxidant networks of the body  so fasting is one of the best things you can do  

to help reverse heart disease and there’s another  thing you can get ordering on amazon or some other  

place it’s called edta this is a chelator and it  helps to pull out excess calcium from the arteries  

i did a video on this very very powerful there’s  a certain method or way that you would take it  

because it’s going to pull out other minerals  you’d want to put back the minerals that you want  

and allow this product to take out the minerals  that you don’t want but it’s a great chelator  

it’s great for circulation and many other things  number five having enough potassium in the diet  

very very important because if you’re low on  potassium which many people are because they don’t  

eat a lot of salad your body will start to pull  in more calcium deposits okay i did a whole video  

on that i’ll put a link down below but potassium  will keep your arteries very elastic very flexible  

and they can prevent the buildup of calcium in  your arteries and lastly vitamin k2 now this is  

rare but it can happen where people can start  building up not just calcium in the arteries  

but actual bone in the arteries and that’s  because they’re missing vitamin k2 vitamin k2  

keeps the calcium in your bone and it  keeps the calcium and the calcium formation  

from occurring in your arteries all right thanks  for watching i will see you in the next video  

hey before you go if you’re benefiting  from any of my content i would love
