1.) Increases Heart Rate
2.) Raises Blood Pressure
3.) Irritates the heart, increasing the risk of fatal cardiac arrhythmias
4.) Decreases HDL-cholesterol
Cholesterol Lowering Medications
Give this one a try later!
Satins:
- slow down cholesterol production and increase the liver's ability to
remove blood cholesterol
- Decrease triglycerides and produce a small increase in HDL levels
Obesity Rates for US Youth

1.) "silent killer"
2.) A blood pressure above 140/90 mm Hg
3.) 1 and 3 adults are hypertensive
-High Blood Pressure is a risk factor for:
--CHD, Congestive Heart Failure, Strokes, Kidney Failure, and Osteoporosis
High Density Lipoproteins (HDL)

-Cholesterol transporting molecules in the blood ("good cholesterol) that
help clear cholesterol from the blood

-Loud snoring has been linked to cardiovascular disease
