Sapna Chauhan: The Hidden Risks of High Homocysteine and How to Address Them
Sapna Chauhan, Nursing tutor at Sharda University, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during protein metabolism in the body.
While small amounts are normal, elevated homocysteine levels (hyperhomocysteinemia) can increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, blood clots, and cognitive decline.
High levels are commonly linked to deficiencies in vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and folate, as well as lifestyle factors like smoking, poor diet, and lack of exercise.
This article explains the causes, symptoms, health risks, normal ranges, and effective natural ways to lower homocysteine levels.
Learn how proper nutrition, B-vitamin intake, healthy lifestyle changes, and timely medical testing can help protect your cardiovascular and overall health.”
