Only people who have experienced high levels of bad cholesterol and successful reduced it, people like me, can really tell you how to lower bad cholesterol. Why? Because we have gone through all of the experience of trialling cholesterol lowering prescribed medications, diet changes, supplements etc. and know what all of that honestly achieved.
Personally, I have been rushed to hospital several times over the past few years with suspected heart problems. In the past, I have been on cholesterol lowering prescribed medications for long periods of time. My cholesterol levels were a rollercoaster, high, low, normal, high etc.
What I learnt from all of this is that is you not only need to know how to lower bad cholesterol, you need to know how to maintain it. That is the problem I was always having. I would eventually lower it but I failed to sustain it.
The three key factors to lowering bad cholesterol and keeping it lowered are:
- Diet
- Exercise
- Natural Supplements
I know, that sounds really simple, and you know what, when we are choosing life over possible heart disease or even death, it really is that simple. We all love our foods, me included, but some foods increase our cholesterol levels when we over indulge in them.
Foods high in saturated fats like dairy products and red meat products (lamb, beef, pork etc.) and foods high in cholesterol like liver and eggs.
We live in busier times, but if we only make a slight change to include some little bit of exercise into our daily routine, even a short walk, we will lower cholesterol naturally.
Natural supplements get the heads up every time over prescribed medications, which are really only a quick fix and should never be considered a long term solution to how to lower bad cholesterol. There are well documented dangers, risks and side affects associated with cholesterol lowering prescribed medications.
There is so much information out there, it would confuse a nation! This makes learning how to lower bad cholesterol very difficult and confusing at times. I know, I have been through it all. And, in desperation, I too have been suckered by some of the outrageous claims and advice, which unfortunately, was to the detriment of my own health. People will advise you to take this, that and the other, and while it may help you lower cholesterol, it causes more severe damage elsewhere, e.g. the liver.
If you really and truly want to improve your life and know more about how to lower bad cholesterol, then take the advice of someone who has battled with high cholesterol for years, been through the lies and scams, but through dedication, education and research, came out the other side with far superior health.
