About half of women and two thirds of men in the United States develop heart disease — due to high cholesterol. Cholesterol naturally exists in our bodies and is necessary for your health– but high levels of bad cholesterol can be deadly. Icyou tells you what you need to know about cholesterol, so that you can maintain a healthy balance.

In this video, Dr. Marc Jacobson discusses why we need a certain level of cholesterol in the first place. He explains that ithelps cell membranes structure and function. For example, it’s the basis for many hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. He says it is important that we have cholesterol in every cell.

The issue is a concern for many Americans, and you or someone you know is probably affected by high levels of cholesterol. It can often be helpful to hear from someone who has dealt with the health concern.

In this video, you’ll hear from Paul DiMeo of Extreme Makeover – Home Edition. A physician informed DiMeo of his high cholesterol at a routine visit. DiMeo explains how he attempted to lower his cholesterol naturally with diet and exercise — followed by a prescription statin. Dr. Gerald DeVaughn shares his medical advice regarding diet and exercise to reduce one’s risk of complications caused by high cholesterol.

These videos explain the importance of a healthy cholesterol level, but how can we achieve and maintain these goal levels? Diet and exercise is enough for many, but sometimes genetics or significantly high levels of cholesterol require a patient to take prescription medications.

On the RealQuestions.TV Channel, a couple of different videos offer advice on how often to exercise and what to eat in order to lower your cholesterol. In one video, Dr. Steve Nissen recommends patients exercise a minimum of twenty to thirty minutes three days a week. And in a second video Dr. Roberta Lee suggests eating foods high in fiber, such as stone cut oats and cold water fish.

For one last piece of expert advice, check out The Pulse blog for an exclusive guest post courtesy of Home Health Testing’s Robyn Schelenz.

Robyn prepares us for those summer barbeques by providing food alternatives for the cholesterol-conscious. She suggests eating gelato rather than ice cream and testing your own cholesterol with a home cholesterol test available through the Home Health Testing website.

It is important to get the alternator spinning before you energize the rotating field or it will be very hard to get it up to speed. The amount of power you can get depends on how strong your legs are and the size of the inverter you use. I doubt the alternator could be maxed out with human power. Of course, you could modify the alternator if you wanted to. I’ve gotten 160 amps before out of a modified Delcotron. This one puts out 35 amps.

Now, I realize some people would ask whats the point of all this. Well, whats the point of a stationary bike anyways? You expend energy for nothing as it goes nowhere. At least you could run a TV, stereo, lights, or whatever while you’re at your exercise routine.

Some of you auto electric experts might want to point out the seemingly high voltage and say “Hey, it should be no more than 13.8 volts” but this is a $3.50 volt meter!
