January 2nd, 2012 | Posted by christinem in lower cholesterol - (0 Comments)

When it comes to heart health, it’s important to watch your cholesterol.  High cholesterol can occur from a number of things, whether it is a poor diet or genetic predisposition. It’s the biggest risk factor for heart disease and stroke, so it’s important that you keep it in check with a low cholesterol diet. But when that isn’t helping on its own, you can look into vitamins and supplements that will help you lower cholesterol naturally.

B-complex vitamins and omega 3 fish oil are two supplements that have had some results in lowering bad cholesterol and helping to raise good cholesterol. Taking them daily can help lower bad cholesterol over time and keep it low.  Of course, seeing your doctor regularly for cholesterol and blood pressure checks is a must, as you can’t just assume that the supplements are working. A doctor can also guide you on what the best steps are to take, in addition to your supplements, based on the type of lifestyle you already currently have.

Take the steps towards better heart health and you’ll live a longer, healthier life, without the fear of heart disease or stroke.

Lower Your Cholesterol the Natural Way

Unless you happen to be a vampire, you probably have a few cloves of garlic in your kitchen pantry. But did you know that you can do more than just make spaghetti sauce and ward off Dracula with that garlic? Studies have shown that you can actually use garlic supplements to lower cholesterol naturally.

Over the past few years, scientists and doctors have worked to find better and more natural ways to bring down what they call “bad cholesterol” while maintaining the “good cholesterol.” A new generation of holistic medicine and a rise of a natural medicine movement have brought about some interesting ways to do so.

Garlic was the first and still most widely accepted and used method of cholesterol control but, just like any medication it has its drawbacks. The supplement can cause bad breath and body odor which, while keeping you safe from those pesky vampires, will not endear you to your co-workers or dinner guests.

You could try artichoke extract which lowers the body’s bad cholesterol while leaving the good stuff behind. But beware artichoke extract can cause an allergic reaction or gas which, again, will not make that first date very comfortable.

The newest way to lower your cholesterol has absolutely no side effects whatsoever. Try putting adding barley to your diet. Doctors claim that this will lower total cholesterol and won’t send your friends running for the door.
