Answer 3

Sorry if this sounds kind of crude, but Honey Nut Cheerios does work as lowering cholesterol. The things that would increase it are things that are high in sodium, such as table salt, soy sauce, and as such.

Breathing extra gives oxygen to your body. When you do so, it would help, but not if you are not exercising. Exercising, it is natural to breath, and it supplies your brain and such, but if not, it is just like eating too much.
