has anyone had good experience with CR and heart disease risk factors

April 12, 2002

Hello ,

I take it that your subject line is also your post. What do you

list as heart disease risk factors? There are many such as high fat

diet, high sugar intake, high salt intake, obesity to name just a

few.

When you ask about CR, are you asking just about the calorie

restriction aspect or are you also taking into account the optimal

nutrition (ON). Deficiency of one or several minerals markedly

affect blood cholesterol levels.

If you haven't read it yet, I highly recommend reading " Beyond the

120 Year Diet " by Roy Walford. He discusses CRON in depth as it

relates to heart disease as well as cancer, diabetes, et alii.

It can be ordered over the internet through his website at:

You can also download some free software there and there is plenty

to read at his site also.

Several members have posted previously about lowered blood pressure

and lowered blood cholesterol levels after being on CRON.

Personally, I began CRONing in earnest since January 2002 and

previously always had normal blood pressure (120/80). I tested

again two weeks ago and my readings were 114/64. My cholesterol in

October 2000 was 283 with an HDL of only 38. It had been well over

200 for at least 10 years. I'm getting it rechecked on June and

I'll let everyone know my results.

Hope this helps.

My blood pressure went from 130/80 to 110/65. My pulse went from 80 to 60.

My cholesterol went from 199 total, with 54 HDL to 172 total with 67 HDL.

Some of this might be attributed to weight loss - I went from 153 to 120

lbs. The previous high pulse rate was something I've had all my life and

runs in my family - even when I was young and thin. The improvement are not

due to exercise. I have not increased my level of aerobic exercise.
