Re: Different Effects from Aerobic vs Anaerobic Exercise

Different types of exercise do different things. Your bike workout could actually involve both kinds, depending on how hard you are pushing the difficult parts. The aerobic exercise can run exclusively on fatty acids and ketones (or glucose if needed), whereas anaerobic requires glycogen stores and...

Re: Different Effects from Aerobic vs Anaerobic Exercise

I just came across this and added it to my blog list, haven't done anything other than a quick scan...but there might be something of interest: Potential role for regular aerobic exercise in Alzheimer’s disease prevention In a pilot study, researchers investigated the potential of regular aerobic e...

Different Effects from Aerobic vs Anaerobic Exercise

About 5 months ago my son and daughter-in-law gave me their cast-off Schwinn stationary bike, having bought a new Pelaton. I’ve been doing two 30-minute workouts per week on it (when I can). This is in addition to my 40-minute weight-lifting workout, which I do 3x/week (when I can). I do about 20 mi...

Re: I guess I'll be taking a statin

WhatNext, I have the same rs12506228 A/A gene (on top of ApoE4/4 and having sleep apnea (currently untreated)). :shock: I don't know if taking melatonin would help us, since there are fewer receptors to collect it. I have done some looking around to see if there's anything that can mitigate this is...

Whatnext: I personally do not prescribe statins in a woman who has not had a previous heart attack but with a slightly high TC without evidence such as a coronary calcium scan or angiogram.

Re: I guess I'll be taking a statin

I agree with what fiver just said re the calcium score. Yes, you've made bad choices in the past and the CAC test will let you know how consequential those mistakes have been. But, please take into consideration that for an over 65 woman, with only borderlijne high apoB, there is absolutely no data...

Re: I guess I'll be taking a statin

I had a follow-up appt with my GP yesterday, having been on Zetia for two months. He’d ordered a follow-up cholesterol test and at the same time I had a test for apolipoproteins B and A-1, which I’d bought on Walk-in-Lab. I’d read that the ratio of those two numbers is a better indicator of risk of ...

Re: Vibration in the chest upon waking

I’m going to post to two threads today following my follow-up appt with my GP yesterday. I’d been taking Zetia for two months—that was the main reason for the follow-up—so I’ll post an update to that thread. But I also told him about the vibration in my torso, and that fits in better here. When I wa...

Re: Gundry internet ads

Ugh, Gundry. I lost respect for him when I stumbled on his internet ad for a skin-care product. Yes, he has a line of skin care products: Gundry MD. So he's also a dermatologist? The ad was for his age-spot remover. I read the reviews on Amazon, which were terrible. I can't find it there now; maybe ...
