Fennel Seeds

Chewing fennel seeds is considered beneficial for gut health, have been traditionally used in various cultures for their digestive properties. They may help alleviate bloating, gas, and indigestion. The seeds contain a compound called anethole that can relax the muscles in the gastrointestinal tract, which may aid in digestion. Additionally, fennel seeds have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can contribute to overall gut health.

use : chew (5 to 10 minutes) the seeds before or after meals.

metabolic endotoxemia
= the lipopolysaccharides (aka LPS or else Endotoxins) found in the bacteria cell wall, that (gut) bacteria generate, fall in blood stream (due leaky gut).

sdLDL = doing the atherosclerosis. sdLDL easily oxidized. Going into endothelium of blood vessels and made the atherosclerosis.

the lipopolysaccharides bind to LDL and make it sdLDL (here is possible your LDL count to be OK, but sdLDL not)

sdLDL associated with fatty liver which associated with gut problems.

Stress increasing the lipopolysaccharides to your bloodstream ( description above^ ) even when you dont have gut problems, for moment/hours can make it leaky gut. Here is how @ the brain communicates via vagal nerve with the gut and orders to release cortisol hormone and this releases also peptides from mastcells then the gut lining destroyed (inflammation & permeability).

Eating junk food also helps lipopolysaccharides penetrate the gut.
Bad bacteria lipopolysaccharides penetrate the gut.

70% of immune system is in the gut, T cells and B cells exist there, LPS when passing to bloodstream stimulate those cells and resulting to produce inflammatory cytokines molecules (inflammation), cause immune problem as well.

Inflammatory cytokines molecules travel to the brain, passing the BBB and causes inflammation in the brain (mental fog / depression). Depression associated with atherosclerosis.

LSP goes to the liver and cause fatty liver and the muscles made insulin resistant. You get a metabolic syndrome,
  • blood sugar goes up
  • triglycerides go up
  • HDL goes down

All those markers are of atherosclerosis. The metabolic syndrome causes inflammatory fat, the LPS going into the healthy fat tissues, activates again the immune system, that's why we found inflammatory cells in the fat (obesity person : almost the 50% of the fat are inflammatory molecules).

sdLDL to be a better predictor of cardiovascular (CV) risk than LDL-C, even in patients with low cholesterol (LDL-C < 100mg/dL).
Similarly, the JUPITER trial linked sdLDL to CV deaths . . . even in patients with very low LDL-C. source

GPT :
LDL-C (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol) : Refers to the total cholesterol content within all LDL particles in the bloodstream. It is a common measure used in lipid panels to assess cardiovascular risk. Includes all sizes of LDL particles, both large and small, and is typically measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL).

sdLDL (Small Dense LDL) : Refers to a subclass of LDL particles that are smaller and denser than typical LDL particles. These particles are often considered more atherogenic (more likely to promote the formation of fatty plaques in arteries) than larger, less dense LDL particles. Elevated levels of sdLDL are associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events, even when total LDL-C levels are within normal ranges.
