Carolyn Guilford Today so many people are taking drugs for high cholesterol, and having problems, unpleasant side effects, from those drugs.

High cholesterol causes serious problems in and of itself………..And taking the drugs prescribed for high cholesterol only makes the situation much worse.

High Cholesterol is a condition in which there is too much cholesterol ( fat ) in the blood, making it thick, sticky.

Cholesterol can build up on the walls of arteries and over time causing narrowing of the arteries, hardening of the arteries, and obstructs blood flow as it takes vital nutrients and oxygen to all the parts of the body.

Foods high in saturated fats, animal products; egg yolks, meats, poultry, fish and high fat milk products. Trans fats, margarine, are high in cholesterol and ought to be avoided.

Scientists agree that an intake of 300 mg or less per day of the bad fats from animal sources is best to avoid cholesterol problems.

However, to lower ones' cholesterol is easy to do, no complications and no drugs. First, learn which foods are high in the bad fats, animal fats, and commit to avoiding them. Then, eat more salads, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, enjoy more raw foods.

Eat less meats and chicken and increase the consumption of foods high in fiber, fresh foods, juices and more water.

Add olive oil to your cooking routine and skip the other oils. Research shows that people who eat fewer meats enjoy better health. Eat meat no more that once per day.

Have a cold water fish 3 to 4 times per week. Not fried. No French fries, no butter, margarine, bacon, sausage, no fried veggies, no shell fish, no fried eggs, milk, cheese, none of the things that contribute to high cholesterol.

Foods from plant sources are cholesterol free. After you get the hang of this new way of eating, then you are ready to accelerate your progress by adding a supplement to your daily program.

Red yeast rice, Fish Oil, Garlic, and ground flax seeds, all have been proven to help lower cholesterol. Exercise daily and no smoking allowed. Manage stress effectively.

All drugs are poison, and have many side effects, some more serious than the illness for which the drug is prescribed.

Cholesterol drugs can cause muscle wasting, amnesia, abdominal problems, kidney failure, difficulty breathing, swallowing, rash, bleeding, changes in vision, swelling of hands and face, along with nerve and muscle pain. And this is just the beginning.

So, if you can avoid taking drugs, and control or reverse disease naturally you will be much better off.
