Deans' stroke musings: Cacao percentage reduction in blood cholesterol

Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

Cacao percentage reduction in blood cholesterol

So ask for your doctors prescription on this.

Cacao percentage reduction in blood cholesterol

A meta-analysis published in the journal European Journal of Clinical Nutrition said polyphenol compounds in cocoa help to reduce the rate of cholesterol in the blood. According to researchers from Harvard University Faculty of Medicine (USA), consume polyphenol-rich dark chocolate will reduce the rate of blood cholesterol, especially bad LDL cholesterol. The researchers carefully examined 10 clinical trials with 320 participants to clarify the effects of cocoa polyphenols in the blood to fat ratio. Results showed that consuming cocoa or dark chocolate every day (several weeks) decreased on average 5.9 mg / dL LDL bad cholesterol ratio, and 6.23 mg / dL total cholesterol ratio. Results obtained after study has added to the list of great benefit to the health of the cacao.
