Hi,
Today I just wanted to tackle the subject hypertension or High Blood Pressure, a condition described as "The Silent Killer".
Now I don't want to go into the in's and out's of Hypertension on this blog. Anyone facing this serious health risk has probably heard it all from their doctor and probably been advised to change their diet, excercise more and most probably been prescribed some form of medication.
What you doctor probably won't tell you is that medications used to lower blood pressure are known to cause a huge variety of side effects and over time can produce other problems which mean you need another medication to counteract the effects of the first one and this cycle continues without ever addressing the real causes of high blood pressure! So you could have High Blod pressure to start with and then end up with a coronary bypass operation further down the line due entirely to the side effects of the medication!
It's quite a horror story I know, but there is an alternative.... A few years ago I woke up one morning and sat on the edge of the bed feeling dizzy, I did not feel well at all. I checked my blood pressure at home using my own digital Sphygmanometer and got a reading of 140/100. Needless to say I was shocked and felt pretty bad as I contemplated the prospect of having to take medication for the rest of my life!
That same morning I spoke to a friend of mine and out of the blue he asked me how my blood pressure was; I told him the reading I had got this morning and he immediately suggested that I begin supplementing my diet with Co-Enzyme Q10. I had heard of this substance but not used it before so I thought I may as well give it a go, and I bought some the same day.
I only took 30mg a day but by the end of the week I was getting readings of 125/70. Needless to say I was overjoyed! There is a lot of scientific evidence out there which shows that Co-Enzyme Q10 is an enzyme that is essential for maintaining Cardiovascular wellbeing, for some reason however mainstream medicine does not seem to have picked up on its value as a supplement! Co-Enzyme Q10 is especially important if you are taking any of the cholesterol lowering drugs known as Statins. These drugs in themselves are another horror story but we won't go into that here!
Now up until recently Q10 was only available in the form of Ubiquinone, and most available formulations still only offer this version. Ubiquinone is still a very valuable supplement and converts in the body to Q10 although it is not converted easily. Recently though the story has gotten better....Enter Ubiquinol!
When scientists at the Department of Ageing Biology, Shinshu University Graduate School of Medicine, Japan, studied the anti ageing effects of new ubiquinol CoQ10, using a special breed of mice that age quickly, little did they expect what was going to happen next…
They divided the mice into three groups giving the first group no CoQ10, the second group ubiquinone CoQ10 and the third group the special new version known as ubiquinol CoQ10.
At nine months, both CoQ10 groups were ageing markedly slower than the group who took no CoQ10.
Then at ten months – a point that equates to late middle age in humans – the three rates of ageing diverged significantly.
The ubiquinol mice were ageing 40% slower than the old-style ubiquinone mice… and 51% slower than the group taking none.
Then by 12 months of age the difference was truly remarkable!
The poor old mice which got no CoQ10, were at death’s door. They were suffering all the classic signs of human ageing: They couldn’t move, or respond to any stimulation... they had eye damage... bent backs, and patchy, discoloured skins.
The group who received old style ubiquinone had begun to experience signs of ageing, but were in much better shape.
Whereas... the ubiquinol mice looked perfectly normal and healthy. In spite of being old, they showed no signs of ageing.
They had glossy coats and no physical deformities. Plus, they were running around as alert, responsive and energetic as spring lambs!
However, one word of caution if you’re considering tapping into CoQ10’s ‘miraculous’ benefits like many other health– savvy folk are doing...
Not all CoQ10 is equal
There are many brands of CoQ10 supplements on the market that only use this cheaper ubiquinone – which is more difficult for your body to absorb.
So my advice is to make sure that the CoQ10 that’s sitting in your medicine cabinet is ubiquinOL, rather than ubiquinoNE. Those two little letters make a huge difference...
