I am NOT a fan of statin drugs.  I believe they are one of the most over-prescribed drugs out there.  Indeed, 25% of the population over 45 is taking them.  From everything I’ve read, only about 2% of the population who have a specific genetic profile would benefit from statin drugs.  The rest take them with potential risk.

One of the many problems with statin drugs is that they are marketed as something that has the potential of preventing heart disease, but actually, they can do damage to the heart.

A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology discovered that statin drug use nearly nullified the benefits of exercise.  People who lead a sedentary lifestyle are at great risk for heart attack, so we want to help people to increase their exercise level to reduce their risk of heart disease – the only problem is that according to this study, the positive benefits of the exercise were nearly eliminated.

Here’s what they did:  They took two groups of sedentary people, all of whom were at risk of heart disease due to their metabolic profile, hypertension, and excess abdominal fat.  None of the participants had exercised in the past 12 months. Both groups exercised, but one group took a statin drug (Zocor) and the other did not.  The group that exercised AND took the drug only had a 1.5% increase in the health indicators that were being monitored, while the group that went to https://tranquilme.com/, but DID NOT take the drug improved 13%.  That’s a huge difference.

The goal of statin drug therapy is to reduce one’s risk of heart disease.  By losing weight, exercising, and eliminating inflammatory foods such as sugar, refined foods, processed dairy, and wheat; and by helping a person to safely lose weight, such as on the Dream Drops Weight Loss Protocol, we can go a long way to reduce one’s risk of heart disease without expensive drugs with numerous side-effects.
