Statins are among the most prescribed medications in the world. They work by decreasing the production of cholesterol in the liver, but they are also prescribed to help reduce the risk of cardiovascular events like strokes and heart attacks in some people.
Unfortunately, statins can increase risk for other health issues like diabetes and can cause liver damage. Opponents of statins argue that statins may increase risk of dementia while proponents say the opposite.
On today’s episode, we will discuss the risks and benefits of statins and what lifestyle changes anyone with high cholesterol or an increased risk of cardiovascular disease should be making to live a longer, healthier life.
