subject: The 4 Best Ways To Lower Cholesterol [print this page] The 4 best ways to lower cholesterol are all natural and doesn't included a tough regime of exercise -- although increasing your daily activity never hurts. If you have a 'cholesterol' problem most of the time you are prescribed cholesterol medicine -- 'Statin Drugs', but there really is a safer, more effective and less expensive alternative.
To be absolutely precise -- you don't want to simply reduce your cholesterol levels. What you want is a proper balance of your cholesterol. There are different types of cholesterol our bodies need for us to live.
Sometimes we have too much LDL (Bad Cholesterol) and sometimes we have insufficient HDL (Good Cholesterol) and sometimes it's a poor combination of both. Medicine developed -- 'Statins' -- the drugs most often prescribed for cholesterol problems, which lower cholesterol -- but too often they lower both the good and the bad.
You want your cholesterol medicine to balance out the good cholesterol, bad cholesterol and you triglycerides. This is the optimal range you want to be shooting for. Statins will not give you that, but there nutrients that will.
The 4 Best ways to lower cholesterol are by consuming: Lecithin oil Pumpkin seed oil D-limonene Phytosterols, instead of cholesterol medicine -- drugs.
Lecithin oil -- has been around since 1929 -- has been used as an emulsifying agent, enabling fats and other lipids to be dispersed in water. During the middle 1960s -- the Japanese discovered the cholesterol lowering capabilities.
Pumpkin seed oil -- contains Zinc, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and both Omega 3 and Omega 6 -- known as essential fatty acids and has been shown to lower LDL or low density lipoprotein cholesterol.
D-limonene -- known for giving lemons their fragrance. It also works very efficiently at lowering cholesterol.
Phytosterols -- found in a lot of fruits and vegetables. These little gems reduce the LDL -- Low Density Lipoproteins (Bad Cholesterol) and do not interfere with HDL High Density Lipoproteins (Good Cholesterol)
A combination of these natural ingredients will provide a terrific way to lower cholesterol and give you the proper cholesterol balance without having to take expensive and sometimes dangerous cholesterol medicine.
Remember Statins -- the main cholesterol lowering drugs -- have side effects like causing moderate to severe muscle pain. They also reduce Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) -- in some cases by up to 50% -- CoQ10 is an absolutely necessary enzyme for proper muscle function!! And your heart is your most important muscle!!
The natural method gives you a bonus as well as a way to lower cholesterol. This overall approach also ensures you have the correct levels of triglycerides (which in some people -- me included -- is the far greater issue). Something that most cholesterol medicine does not do.
