[svennyg]

Sometimes in the battle against high cholesterol it is easy to look past the obvious and affordable, in favor or prescription medications. There are many natural products to lower cholesterol that one has probably walked by hundreds of times in the local grocery store, In this post l will briefly touch on five of them that are affordable, and in plain sight at your local grocery store. These are not the only ones, maybe not even the best ones, but nevertheless studies show that all five will in fact lower your cholesterol.

Cranberry juice: Cranberry juice is high in antioxidant properties and recent research suggest it can raise good cholesterol levels.

Grape juice: Dark colored grape juice contains resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant which has been shown to lower bad cholesterol and protect the lining of the arteries. Make sure the sugar content of the product you choose is reasonable.

Buttery spreads containing stanols and sterols: Stanols and sterols are plant extracts that block cholesterol absorption in the intestines, thus lowering bad cholesterol by as much as 10 percent.

Soy milk with stanols and sterols: One study showed that soy milk lowers LDL (bad) cholesterol while reducing ones risk for type 2 diabetes. Throw in the stanols and sterols and you have a winner.

Oat meal: At least at my grocery store oat meal on the bottom shelf and could be easily passed by, but if you are looking for natural products to lower cholesterol look no further than oatmeal. It is very high in cholesterol fighting soluble fiber, as well as being affordable. Oat bran is also a good choice if oatmeal is not to your liking.

In summary, this list provides you with a great starting point to make your own list of natural products to lower cholesterol. Additionally, I have loads more natural products on my blog.

As you have heard from your doctor, it is important that you get those cholesterol readings down into the acceptable range sooner than later. I recall my doctor telling me that with the combination of my high cholesterol and high blood pressure, I had a 10% chance of a serious heart attack or stroke within the next 10 years. I knew that I did not want to be another statistic, but I also knew that I did not want to be taking cholesterol medication if I could avoid it. The first thing I did was to look for an effective diet for lowering cholesterol. it wasn't until later that I learned about the effective natural products to lower cholesterol that were available to me. Thanks for sharing. :h1:

Many people fail to understand that there are natural therapies and products that can treat almost any and every disease in this world . One of the best ways to lower cholesterol naturally is to make certain dietary changes. Here is a list of the top natural foods to help maintain a healthy cholesterol level in the body , Got the information from this link [ URL Under Review]

Oatmeal and oat bran: Oatmeal and oat bran are rich in soluble fiber, a type of fiber which lowers the bad cholesterol (LDL) levels. Soluble fiber appears to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in your intestines. 10 grams or more of soluble fiber a day decreases your total and LDL cholesterol. Eating 1 cup of cooked oatmeal provides around 4 grams of fiber. Other foods rich in soluble fiber that you can include in your diet are apples, kidney beans, pears, prunes and barley.

Fish: Omega-3 fatty acids in fish greatly reduces the bad cholesterol and increase the good one. Omega-3 fatty acids also help the heart in other ways such as reducing blood pressure and the risk of blood clots. However, to maintain the heart-healthy benefits of fish, grill or bake it. Among the omega-3 rich fishes that you must include in your diet (at least two servings per week) are sardines, salmons, herring and mackerel. If you don't like fish, you can also get omega-3 fatty acids from foods like ground flaxseed or canola oil.

Nuts: Nuts are rich in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants such as Vitamin E and selenium. They are also high in plant sterols and fat (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats), which have all been shown to lower the bad (LDL) cholesterol .
