High Cholesterol

Nature has provided many natural helpers to control high cholesterol.

First, of course, you must control your diet. Sugar is actually more of a culprit than fat in the production of bad cholesterol, LDL, so you must avoid all processed sugars. All processed white flour products should be counted as if they were sugar, because they quickly turn into sugar inside your body.

You should include many vegetables of all colors and textures. Their fibers, enzymes and trace minerals are very helpful. Eating beans of all types is crucial. The fiber in beans works like giant claws that cleanse bad fats and cholesterol from your arteries. Start slowly with beans. You might use a digestive enzyme, such as Beano, to help your body adjust.

If you eat meats, use them sparingly and avoid all processed meats, such as bacon, sausage, and luncheon meats. They are trouble makers.

Of course, it is very important to drink lots of water. Adding lemon helps to cleanse your liver, which is the organ that produces the cholesterol.

Some supplements that can help lower cholesterol include: omega 3 fish oils; garlic; fiber supplements; B complex vitamins, especially B-6, B-12 and folic acid. You might visit our B-12 shot clinic on Saturdays. B-12 helps to cleanse fatty livers, so it could be very helpful. It is also great for physical and mental energy. CoQ-10, no-flush niacin, policosanol and red yeast rice are also extremely effective.
