Looking for assistance with correcting cholesterol while on cycle

This is very interesting. I have read that flaxseed oil has numerous benefits; is an excellent source of fat.
The flax oil can be bought in gel caps just like fish oil.
Both have heart heath and cholesterol properties as heathy fats fatty acids.

There is also a mixture flax and fish but only flax or only fish the ratio of
omega ,3,6,and , 9's are all different and some better for somethings but not others.

I read up on it before need to again.

But EMW14, I know u know about my red blood issue!! Brother I have remained at 15 hemoglobin since September almost 12 weeks. I haven't done this without phlebotomy's in 4 years. Normally 4-6 weeks. I stopped Vitamin C and multi vitamin my daily vitamins are listed above.

My dad is on prescription niacin the med not supplement. There us a patent of a certain form of it.
All niacin does is flush and cause flushing.
The slo-release better to not cause red face hot flushing (like when u take Viagra)

Needless to say but heathly diets that are balanced contain all vitamins and minerals
Which niacin is a b vitamin!!!

Metabolic syndrome is what is important to look out for. Being overweight having fat around waist, having bad lipids, high blood pressure then next comes high glucose levels. These are the hall marks of heart attacks and heart disease!!!

Drs all first tell us to start exercising and chance our diet when these things start to present themselves!!!
Try to change diet, lifting weights is exercise sure, but what is most important is cardio, I get LOTS OF CARDIO.
But I don't go to do Cardio like on tread mill or whatever. I adjust my training to DC training and circuits of lots of super sets.
I do main exercise for size and strength then it's non stop superset 3 move burst circuits. Each set contains 3 exercises in row with pause rest only then start again.

Having a BMI of of more than 30 no matter where body fat is will force our liver to store fat around it to supply muscle with enough glycogen. This eventually shows up as higher liver enzymes and lipids then fasted glucose.
This is called fatty liver disease non alcohol type.

Though not many, there have been studies done that shows niacin can help with cholesterol & when was the last time you got a niacin flush off eating your normal diet?? Chances of that are very slim, considering people generally have to take a large amount to get that effect & usually to get some of the extra health benefits (like cholesterol), you have to take even larger amounts. Like I said, diet & overall health are a big deal always, but things like niacin & certain oils can help to.

Btw, I am speaking out of experience because I am on prescription niacin as well. It's just another one of those things that is very common, but it can have multiple health benefits.

But we dont need flushing effect of niacin if we flushing with cardio.
The # 1 benifit in preventing hardening of arteries in men and Atherrosclerosis is diet and cardio both together.
This is a disease developed by cholesterol clogging arteries.
Niacin is an aid but correcting it is most important. Using gear puts us at higher risk if not careful!!!

It's like this I love my kids I am 42 and wanna see them graduate college and get married.
I learned long ago that I gotta keep my bf low and my BMI under 31 plan and simple.
Even if 8% BMI over 31 for too long we will develop fatty liver to be able to fuel muscle cells, so that puts us at risk.
I once was 5'8" same as now but 34 and was 8% 230lbs I realized I was never gonna be a pro and that I wasn't comfortable and was warned about the risk. I have alot of stretch marks where muscle bulged and I had high bp and bad lipids and my Dr I hide nothing from who knows what I do still today told me, it's not what u doing that will get u!!! It's the size the I was staying at.

I switched training and still have 30 bmi today and I settled for that.
Now I only try to be leaner at the 30 bmi!!
I am 7% and doing lots of cardio thru DC training. I am still far from average and have alot of size.
42 trying to stay under 10% and not over 205 at 5'8".
People always wonder why I start a blast and not gaining tons of weight.
But older muscle we earned long ago gets harder and denser as it matures, muscle fibers get harder and denser as it matures!
And I only shoot for lean gains which realilistic is 2lbs a year after 7-8 years of steady working out.
Without insulin and what not
