High Cholesterol Dangers and Prevention

If you don’t know by now just how important controlling your cholesterol is then maybe you are just visiting earth for the first time. Of course we ALL know that there are levels of good and bad cholesterols that need to be balanced and maintained in order to have a healthy heart and lifestyle. While we could go into all the exact amounts it really isn’t necessary for the layman to know specific measurements. In fact, all we really need to know is that LDL is the bad guy and HDL is the good guy. We should strive to decrease the LDL and work toward raising the levels of HDL. If your doctor tells you that you have high cholesterol know that you need to shoot the bad guy dead in his tracks. No, not the doctor, the LDL that is causing your arteries to get gunked up with plaque and can cause a stroke or heart attack or worse. It is a silent killer.

Avoid fatty junk foods at all costs. If you are overweight GO ON A DIET. Exercise more to get that blood flowing. And if it sounds like you need a major lifestyle overhaul you are probably right. But don’t think you need to go it alone. The good news is that there are a multitude of natural foods, herbs and supplements that can help you get that cholesterol in check.

You have probably heard that cold water fish like salmon is great for balancing HDL and LDL levels. That’s because of the mighty Omegas. You can also take a fish oil supplement if you don’t like salmon. Then there are whole grains like brown rice and oatmeal. Don’t forget to use fresh garlic in your cooking. Or here again, if you don’t like garlic there are garlic capsules that can be taken. And always, always, include a potent antioxidant supplement with your daily vitamins. Those mighty little antioxidants will grab ahold of free radicals floating through your bloodstream and carry them away before they can attach and form more plaque.

Once you have your army of supplements and foods assembled you won’t be left to fight the war alone. But do your part by watching your diet and exercising more.
