10 things you can do to help your cholesterol levels

Having your cholesterol ratios out of balance shouldn’t be ignored, however you shouldn’t be panicked into taking drugs that haven’t been around long enough to understand the benefit/ risk in a long term study. Here are 10 changes you can make TODAY that will put you on your way to healthier lipid levels.

1. EAT OAT MEAL, The American Heart Association even lays claim that Oat Fiber can reduce LDL levels in one month. Check out my oatmeal recipe for a quick and easy breakfast that will help you lose weight too!!!!
2. ELIMINATE REFINED AND PROCESSED FOOD, and this probably means 80% of your diet. Exchange boxed foods with fresh produce and lean proteins. If the ingredients list has more than three ingredients, don’t buy it.
3. INCREASE YOUR FIBER INTAKE, this dose NOT mean Metimucrap…which is loaded with chemicals, instead choose FLAX MEAL, which will provide you essential fatty acids like omega 3, which will raise your HDL cholesterol, killing two birds one stone. Other choices are SALBA, CHIA SEEDS, whole grains like QUINOA, BROWN RICE…..if you want something you can drink MYOGENIX makes an excellent fiber that also provides 450mg of digestive enzymes which leads us to
4. TAKE ENYZMES, the American diet is almost COMPLETELY DEVOID OF ENYZMES. ENYZMES are vital in everything from digestion to immune function. TAKE a LIPID enzyme that helps break down and transport FATS through the liver and carry out of the body.
5. RED YEAST RICE, taken as directed this supplement with improve cholesterol levels.
6. NIACIN, it wasn’t too long ago that doctors were prescribing niacin to instantly lower triglyceride levels, now with the popularity of Statins, doctors flip flop away from it…….Niacin AKA Vitamin B3 not only helps with cholesterol but it helps eliminate the bloodstream of toxins. It increases blood flow and help your body clean itself.
7. TAKE A HIGH QUALITY FISH OIL, coupled with red yeast rice, niacin and dietary changes you will be amazed how your levels could balance out in 30 days.
8. GET OFF THE COUCH, exercise is the single best thing to lower blood pressure cholesterol and improve your health overall.
9. HYDRATE, water water water………..most American are Dehydrated, without adequate water how do you expect your body to flush itself out……aim for a minimum or 64OZ of water a day, more if your an avid coffee drinker.
10. QUIT SMOKING, need I elaborate here………………………..
