LOWER CHOLESTEROL AND HEART DISEASE
- As we know, many people used to die due to some heart related disease.This heart disease generates into our body through high cholesterol, experts say. If we can control cholesterol levels , there is possibility that we can survive from any heart disease. So our main focus is to control cholesterol level, which can be done, if we can take out 30 minutes from 24 hrs a day for exercise. Walking for 30 minutes is a great way to reduce or lower cholesterol levels dramatically. Besides this, diet plays a vital role for lowering cholesterol from our body. After doing exercise every day, we should eat oatmeal with flax seed, walnuts, almonds, and cinnamon every day. Eat fresh fruits and veggies every day, no more white bread, no more soda, no meat, occasionally eat fish, no more junk food, drink plenty of water, orange juice and pure carrot juice every day. And one more thing I want to add is Fish oil which helps to lower cholesterol level in a great way.

it runs in my family :(
- I guess there's nothing I can do to prevent it, other than eating right. It runs in my family, so I think it's just a matter of time before my cholesterol gets high anyway. I am 27 years old.

Have your thyroid checked.
- I was hypothyroid and on Synthroid for years. Changed my diet, lost 100 pounds, exercised. My Chloresterol kept climbing up, eventually to 248. Then Dr's kept pressuring me to start statins. I refused. Finally another doctor checked my FT3, it was subnormal, switced my thyroid meds from chemical T4 Synthroid to natural T4/T3 Armour. My LDL chloresterol plummeted 65 points in a month once I got my FT3 blood levels up to normal. My total chloresterol is down 80 points.
