How can you bring down LDL cholesterol naturally?

Hello,

I decided to quickly share this information as it will be relevant to you during this period.

Note that Not all LDL cholesterol (also known as bad cholesterol) comes from food.

The majority is synthesized in your liver.

The biggest factor is consumption of refined sugar, starchy food (potatoes, rice, pasta, bread and muffins etc.) and processed food.

Whatever sugar is not stored in your liver and muscles as glycogen gets metabolized by the liver into triglycerides and LDL cholesterol.

This ends up as fat in your abdominal fat and in your arteries causing hardening of your arteries.

You will notice that if you cut out sugar, processed foods, starchy foods and wheat from your diet, you will experience weight loss and also a great improvement in your blood sugar and LDL Cholesterol levels.

Foods that make up a low cholesterol diet can help reduce high levels

Add these foods to lower LDL cholesterol

👉Oats

👉Barley and other whole grains. 

👉Beans e.g. Kidney beans, black eyed peas, black beans.

👉Eggplant

👉Okra

👉Nuts

👉 Extra virgin olive oil

👉Apples, grapes, strawberries, citrus fruits. These fruits are rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that lowers LDL.

👉Soy

👉Fatty fish

👉Fiber supplements

The other factor beside paying attention to what you eat is to engage in regular physical exercise. This increases your protective HDL cholesterol and reduces the overall cholesterol ratio, the risk of getting a heart attack.

Substitute saturated fat with olive oil. The mono-unsaturated fatty acids in olive oil have been shown to lower LDL cholesterol.

Also substitute high fat milk products with low fat milk products. Eliminate all trans fat products from your diet (margarine, fast foods).
