Seriously… If we’ve learned anything over the last few years, it’s that whatever is villainized is likely something that is good for you. Cholesterol is one of those things. (Cholesterol is not the problem….. INFLAMMATION is the problem). We suffer when cholesterol is too low….. every cell in our body needs cholesterol…. our brain needs cholesterol (people who have low cholesterol are the ones that ultimately tend to end up in dementia units) …. our sex hormones need cholesterol. You’ve heard me talk about this sooooo many times.
This is a new one for me tho: Cholesterol may be helpful in boosting cancer fighting abilities? I’m not surprised by this (especially in light of how every cell needs cholesterol to function well).
This doesn’t mean you should run out and eat junk food. Remember sugar and processed foods are inflammatory, as are seed oils (which the restaurant industry unfortunately loves to use).
Y’all, I’d like to introduce you to my precious Aunt and tell you about our phone call yesterday.
We have a strong family history of an eye disease called macular degeneration. My grandmother (her mom) went blind from it about 10 years before she passed away. Both my Mom and my Aunt have it, and have for several years. My Aunt was diagnosed a few years ago with cataracts on top of the macular degeneration. This apparently compounds things and can make cataracts surgery a little more complicated. My Aunt waited until she was almost completely blind before finally agreeing to the cataract surgery (they did each eye separately, about 6 weeks apart)
About 3 or 4 years ago, I encouraged my Aunt to start taking NingXia Red and Illumineyes daily in an effort to help salvage whatever we could on her eyes. She has been so faithful in taking both daily……
Well!!!!! She has been telling me how much better she is seeing after her cataract surgeries, and I totally imagine that she was, but I had no idea…. yesterday she called me after her Dr’s appointment. Not only did the doctor tell her she has 20/20 vision, but they also can find no evidence of the Macular Degeneration! (This is largely considered an incurable eye disease).
They asked her to take the vision test twice…. and then she told them she drinks a red drink and takes a red pill to help with her eyesight.
