Lower
Cholesterol
Results Not
What You'd
Hoped?
If you've
just had
some
bloodwork
done, and
the results
for your
cholesterol
counts were
not
what you'd
hoped,
you'll be
looking
around for
ways to
lower
cholesterol.
Your doctor
will likely
recommend
that you use
one of the
Statin drugs
for this
purpose. But
if you're
like us,
you'll be
naturally
wary of
these in
light of
some of the
bad
publicity
recently,
and you'll
at least
want to try
some natural
cholesterol
lowering
alternatives
first.
Some of the
reasons that
many people
are now
trying to
avoid Statin
drugs is,
for example,
that
Lipitor and
Baycol have
both been
known to
cause muscle
damage (the
heart is a
muscle), and
some
doctors are
saying these
medications
have been
linked to
deaths. In
fact, Baycol
has been
pulled
from the
market in
some
countries,
notably
Japan. In
some cases,
the benefits
may outweigh
the
risks, but I
for one want
to exhaust
every
natural
alternative
before I go
on to the
use of
Statins.
Don't Rush
to Take the
Easy Way Out
If you feel
that taking
Statins is
the easy way
out,
consider
that if
Baycol has
already
been pulled
from some
markets, we
are likely
to hear a
lot more on
this subject
in the near
future.
Until the
truth's out,
I wouldn't
like to
become one
of their
statistics.
Did you know
for example,
that if you
take certain
vitamins
along with
Statins, you
may actually
raise
your risk of
a heart
attack?
I find this
particularly
alarming
because
vitamins are
an integral
part of the
food we eat
(or
they most
certainly
should be).
So we have
no way of
knowing
really what
kind of
reaction is
going on
inside of
us. On the
other hand,
many natural
ways to
lower
cholesterol
are
substances
or foods
that have
been around
for
centuries,
and that
have been
thoroughly
tried and
tested.
Golden
Oldies!
Olive oil
and oatmeal,
for example,
are great to
add to your
diet if you
want to
lower
cholesterol.
Another
great thing
to do is
take cod
liver oil
every day.
Cod liver
oil can
supply your
body with
the
essential
Omega 3 oils
that are so
difficult to
get from
ordinary
diet
nowadays,
and this can
have a
positive
effect on
your good
cholesterol
readings. If
the taste
puts you
off, don't
forget that
you can get
cod liver
oil in
capsule form
too.
Other "side
effects"
you'll love
with cod
liver oil
are the fact
that it can
improve the
look
and feel of
skin,
increase
energy,
banish aches
and pains,
and even
improve your
memory! Of
course, the
very
vitamins
that you
would take
to lower
cholesterol,
like vitamin
A and
vitamin
E, are some
of the very
vitamins
that you may
be advised
not to take
with the
statins
because of
a possible
interaction.
Stop
Worrying
About Side
Effects
That, for
me, is the
beauty of
natural
alternatives
to drugs;
pretty much
all the
time, you
can take
vitamins,
foods and
herbal
remedies in
any
combination
you like
without
worrying
about
killing
yourself!
Peace of
mind is a
very
valuable
commodity
isn't it?
Here are a
few
pointers for
you though,
if you're
embarking on
a healthy
way of doing
things for
the first
time in your
life.
To begin
with, it may
be a good
idea to
consult a
naturopath,
or at least
read a few
good books
on the
subject of
how to lower
cholesterol.
Incorporate
some
lifestyle
changes,
such as
moderate
exercise,
avoiding
alcohol and
commercially
produced
fats. Learn
how
wonderfully
healthy
butter
and olive
oil can be,
in
moderation.
Learn about
some of the
newer ways
to lower
cholesterol
naturally.
There have
been some
real
breakthroughs
lately in
how to use
natural
substances
to help
conditions
such as high
cholesterol.
