what is the best way to reduce your bad chloresteral?

Answer 1

I have eaten oatmeal for breakfast. There is cold cereal with oatmeal. There are also oatmeal cookies and cake recipes with oatmeal that sound good to me. Nuts also help since they give you good cholesterol and that tends to lower the bad. The only trouble with nuts is the calories. I used olive oil in cooking which is a good cholesterol. My doctor seemed to be satisfied even if the good cholesterols went up some as long as the bad one stayed down. The good ones stay like oil in the blood where as
the others tend to harden. Red meats aren't especially good,but some moderation seems ok. I ate fish and chicken baked un-
less I used olive oil which I like. I read you should not eat eggs
more than once a week, but I'm not sure I quite agree. I'd also use moderation with the egg. I would not eat shrimp and shell
fish very often. Organ meat is also considered to be high in
cholesterol. Stay away from hight fat milk and high fat dairy products. I happen to believe butter is better than ole and some of those products,but would be careful how much I had. Remember it's a solid fat. I always thought about it this way, any thing you don't want to put down your sink you for sure don't
want down your body. Also exercise is needed about four
times a week for 30 minutes each time. Don't necglect
your fruits and veggies, along with foods that make up a
good diet. Cut out the pastry, ice cream and other high
calorie desserts and substitute the fruits. Sometimes I used the
low fat ice cream. Breyer was my favorite. I'm still on some
meds,but I brought my cholesterol down a long way. Good luck.

Diet is important; however, it will have a minimal effect on your cholesterol.

The most effective way to reduce bad (LDL) cholesterol is with one of the statin drugs. Lipitor at a dose of 80 mg daily or Crestor at a dose of 40 mg daily will reduce the LDL cholesterol the most. Scientific studies using ultrasound to look at the inner wall of the coronary (heart) arteries have shown that by reducing LDL cholesterol to around 70 mg/dl will stop the growth of plaque (blockages) in the arteries, and by getting the LDL cholesterol down to 60 mg/dl, the existing blockages may begin to shrink.

Cholesterol is synthesized in our body and if left untreated it could lead to various cardiovascular diseases. High cholesterol levels in the blood could affect the heart, kidneys, brain and other parts of the body. It is very necessary to do workouts for at least 30 minutes a day. Exercises like swimming, jogging, bicycling etc could help increase in the good cholesterol levels and improve the blood flow throughout the body. Losing flab is very necessary for a person with high cholesterol levels. Being obese increases the bad cholesterol levels in the blood. At least 4 days of exercise is necessary to maintain a good cholesterol level. Lowering bad cholesterol is very necessary for a healthy body.
