Reduce Your Cholesterol Now! Find out How

Is cholesterol good or bad? Do we need to totally get rid of it? Of course NOT. While the word carries a bad connotation, the fact is, we need it in our bodies. We need cholesterol to be able to perform our daily tasks and at the same time, maintain proper

structure of our cells. But like all other things, too much of it is bad... really bad.

That is why it is important for us to maintain our cholesterols to a healthy level. A lot of people pay a huge amount of money every month for gym memberships, saunas, and

even check-ups, but why don’t they succeed still?

For a proper knowledge on the gain and lose of cholesterol in your body, you must visit your doctor. If your cholesterol level is not looking good, you must start losing weight,

and with that I mean through the healthy way.

Getting help is not that difficult. And for starters, here are a few things that you need to

do to maintain a good cholesterol level.

What to Eat?

Foods with...

Fibre.

If you’re not into these foods, it is best if you start shopping for them and store them within your reach. Here is a short list: beans, vegetables, wheat bran, barley, oats, and the like. These are essentially good for our bodies. They are a

very good source of fibre.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

To regulate your blood pressure, you must eat foods with Omega-3. Good

sources of Omega-3 are salmon, tuna, mackerel, canola, and flaxseed oil.

Folic Acids.

Folic acids are good for our bodies because they lower down the homocysteine

levels, which result to the decrease of risks to heart attacks.

Mono saturated fats.

Mono saturated fatty acids help keep blood vessels healthy. Moderation is advised, of course, because these foods, like Almonds, Walnuts, and Pistachios, are high in calories. 5 Walnuts, 5 Pistachios, and 5 Almonds are just enough for

you every day.

What to Avoid?

Drinking coffee.

Yes, you better stay away from the coffee maker, and do not make a quick stop at Starbucks on your way home. Caffeine raises cholesterol levels. Heavy coffee drinking leads to production of bad cholesterol and increase of fatty acids in the

blood.

Dairy Products.

I know. You just heard a big “oh no!” in your head. But what should be done must be done. Full fat milk, cheese, butter, cream... we could go on and on. You’re not expected to absolutely say NO to these foods. Just decrease your consumption- and I mean decrease.

And there is one other thing. This is not rocket science, and this advice has been given ever since: QUIT SMOKING!

Smoking lowers down our HDL levels. Stop smoking to lower your cholesterol count.

Exercise! Exercise! Exercise!

Exercises can be done in many ways, even without going to the gym. Most of us dread looking for time to go to the gym. For example, you can park your car away from your workplace, so you will have the chance to walk to your office. We also often use the elevator. How about using the stairs this time, right? A 30-minute run every day is

good, too. It is not too time consuming. You can do it after work.

If you want to lose weight, this is one of the things that you must do. This improves

your strength and blood pressure, which can lead to cholesterol level decrease.

The key here is discipline and perseverance. No changes can occur if you will not help

yourself.
