I'm glad someone brought up cholesterol. High cholesterol is actually a symptom of weak blood vessel walls. Cholesterol acts as a bandaid preventing aneurysms. However, this bandaid can clog your arteries if your condition is severe. Imagine all the blood vessels in your body thinning, your body will produce large amounts of cholesterol. How do we prevent thinning of your blood vessels? By entering a weekly reminder on your PDA: less smoking, less alcohol, less sugar, more exercise, more vegetables and last but not least more Vitamin C from organic sources.
