Foods to lower cholesterol are present. I am a living proof that you can do miraculous things so that cholesterol levels drop from an abnormally high level to a completely safe level in a relatively short time. It is a matter of patient patience just to stick to the correct type of natural food.
But first let's cover the foundation. The purpose of your diet is to reach an ideal cholesterol measurement. This means lower your LDL level (bad cholesterol) in your blood to less than 100 mg / dL, and make the HDL level (good cholesterol) higher than 60 mg / dL. Also, the ratio of HDL and LDL should be lower than 4.4: 1. When the numbers are within these ranges, it is necessary to periodically monitor and control the level so that it is within this limit as much as possible.
As I learned the goal, please tell me a little story about how to lower the cholesterol level from 376 to 121 in 2 months.
The results of my first medical examination were shown to me by my doctor in 2008. Horror hit me when giving me a serious look and said, "The sum of this 376 mg / dL shows abnormally high cholesterol levels." You have to take medication immediately to reach a healthy level. "He said that he subsequently confused something about this drug called Zocore, and how it was done every day for a month Did you have to take (my dose was 20 mg per day).
Imagine my shock! I felt that my chin fell, and hit the floor unbelievably ...
Before that moment, I felt completely in a normal state. My physical condition was okay compared to my friend, but I have never had a serious illness.
But I realized that it was true ... I know that Zocor, my doctor prescribed me was not a solution. I learned from the doctor 's website that a 100 - point decline in total cholesterol is very rare, even with treatment at 4 times the dose my doctor had given me. What I needed was a drop of over 200 points. I just knew that Zocor (or Lipitor, or Lescol, or a drug like them) was not the answer to my problem.
I began extensive research for information on the Internet and soon I know that cholesterol decline can be done by eating the right kind of food. I still took Zoko every day at that time, but I also started doing all these things.
- I have stopped eating all meat, fat and poultry for 2 months (this kind of food makes bad cholesterol in my heart)
- I stopped all kinds of soda and sweet drinks (yes, it includes tea and coffee)
- I consumed all kinds of dairy products (milk, butter, cheese, chocolate - bite ..) and stopped consumption
- I started eating more vegetables at all 3 meals a day
- I added fruit every day to all three meals
- I eat fish frequently everyday as much as I can (they should enhance HDL for omega 3 oil)
- I stopped eating white bread and switched to whole grain bread
- Everyday I started taking vitamins and supplements everyday
- After each meal I began to eat cereals
- On the sports side, I started jogging every week 4 M on every Saturday
After religiously doing this for 2 months, I visited my laboratory again and tested my cholesterol level again ...
And the result was a big victory for me! My new total cholesterol has reached 121 mg / dL!
I was very excited. I know that I have found a "secret" of low cholesterol and I can kiss good bye for the risk of heart disease.
