[P440]Plant Sterols To Lower Cholesterol
by Donald Mckenzie Jr, Don

1. The first thing you have to do is to reduce the amount of red meat in your daily diet. You should replace it with white meat and fish.

2. It is absolutely necessary for you to eliminate less saturated fats. Begin consuming skimmed milk, low cholesterol cheese, and other "light" products.

3. A healthy diet will ultimately result in a healthy digestion. Foods that are high in fiber will help you lower cholesterol by eliminating the dietary fats.

4. Stop frying your food and start grilling them. It prevents the loss of vitamins from the vegetables and therefore you will eat healthier.

5. Stop being a lazy and start exercising more. You can do aerobics, walk, jog, or even play basketball.

6. Tropical oils will not do any good. If you want to get a lower cholesterol level you must start using vegetable or canola oils.

7. Always read the label on the food products you are buying to be sure of what you are buying in terms of fat levels.

8. Drinking will not exactly be your best activity during a diet due to the fact that it can ruin your efforts. On the other hand, the latest research has shown that a glass of red wine per day can lower cholesterol.

9. A cholesterol lowering medication prescribed or recommended by a physician will have maximum effectiveness for your diet if you will use it wisely.

10. Always remember that a diet for reducing cholesterol level will definitely help you lose weight.

Just follow these simple steps and you will not only reduce bad cholesterol but also maintain a healthy body.


As we discussed in the other articles high cholesterol level is controllable through intake of healthy foods because healthy foods contain high levels of HDL that help to remove LDL from blood to the liver where it is eliminated. In this article, we will provide the information of how nutritional supplements help in lowering cholesterol.

Nutritional supplements place an important role in lowering cholesterol levels for cost effectiveness and little side effects compared to prescription medications.

Some of the below nutritional supplements have proven record of lowering cholesterol levels:

1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin, which means it isn't stored by your body. That makes it even more important to get as much as you need on a daily basic. Vitamin C contains antioxidants that reduce heart attack risk by blocking chemical changes that causes LDL cholesterol to stick to arterial walls and subsequently lowering cholesterol levels.

2. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin which may not help to lower cholesterol levels, but it can help to prevent LDL cholesterol from becoming oxidized and sticking to your artery walls in result of lowering cholesterol levels. Be sure to talk to your doctor if you are taking any blood thinning medications.

3. Niacin
Niacin is one of the water-soluble B vitamins. Niacin lowers the bad LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels while raising the good HDL cholesterol level. People taking niacin to lower serum cholesterol should be closely monitored by their doctor to avoid complications.

4. Magnesium
Magnesium deficiency increases the danger of heart disease and stroke as we mentioned in the previous article. Study shows that adding this mineral to your diet could lower your cholesterol level by 33%.

5. Green tea extract
Green tea extract counters the effect of radication, keeps the pH of blood balanced and is high in antioxidants. Green teas that contain polyphenolic catechins are actually stronger than vitamin E. This helps to prevent LDL cholesterol from becoming oxidized and sticking to your artery walls in result of lowering cholesterol levels.

6. Lutein
Study shows that people that have a lot of lutein in their blood stream see no increase in the thickness of their carotid arteries. That means LDL cholesterol have not oxidized causing formation of dangerous plaque at their arteries wall leading to heart attacks and lowering cholesterol levels.
