What is Organic Acid Testing? Organic acid testing is a way to measure whether your body is getting and using nutrients to drive optimal health. Nutrients are protecting agents. Just as your car has additives and devices that protect it, nutrients serve to protect your heart, brain, and other critical organs. Like a car’s gauges warn of potential problems, your body has certain chemical indicators, known as organic acids, that can alert you to potential problems. Also measured are markers that assess intestinal health, neurotransmitter activity, and detoxification demands. Early warnings can help you make diet and lifestyle changes that may both extend and enhance your quality of life. Many chronic health problems can be difficult to diagnose, especially when they involve nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, foggy thinking, gastrointestinal upset, joint aches, sleep cycle disturbances, and more. Standard medical testing is designed to identify disease states. Organic acid testing does not diagnose disease; it helps to give insight into the causes of disease. … [Read more...]
In March 2012, a new study reported that both exercise and non-high-density-lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol are important predictors of subclinical atherosclerosis. Calcifications in the coronary arteries are an early sign of coronary heart disease. Calcium deposits in the arteries in the development of atherosclerotic plaques cause narrowing of the blood vessels to the heart and may rupture and form a blood clot, which can impede blood flow to the heart. The study evaluated 1,637 healthy males enrolled in the Prospective Army Coronary Calcium Project with an average age of 42.8 years and no history of coronary artery disease. The subjects completed questionnaires to assess diet and physical exercise. The researchers measured fasting serum lipids, including HDL cholesterol, low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol, which is a calculation of total cholesterol minus HDL cholesterol. The study authors also measured coronary artery calcium to determine the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis. The researchers found that coronary artery calcium was present in 22.4 percent of the subjects. The study … [Read more...]
