“What would you say, is the best way you know to lower your cholesterol?

Answer 1

Cut out animal fats as far as possible, use olive oil in cookiung (high in "good" cholesterol) and eat oat bran, porridge oats and other high fibre foods which absorb the cholesterol from the intestines. Also cinnamon is said to help reduce the total cholesterol naturally.
Exercise, quit smoking and drink a glass of wine a day (well actually thats more helpful to the heart but its also very nice! lol)...:D

Answer 2

I'm not trying to preach to anyone here, but in all honesty, I am a vegan and my daily intake of cholesterol is rarely over 10 mgs a day. The "suggested" amount of cholesterol one should consume in a day is 300 mgs or less.

Becoming a vegan should not necessarily be done just because you want a lower cholesterol level, so I might suggest something a little less drastic, yet still following the same basis.

First, any animal protien contributes to high cholesterol. You should try to limit the amount of meats (especially red meat) that you eat, as well as eggs. Dairy, of course also contains animal protiens, so you could limit that as well.

I am assuming that it would probably be most realistic for you to at least try to really limit one of these categories, then go from there.

Greetings!

The cheapest most effective way is a daily dose of 325mg aspirin, and 250 mg of slo niacin.
The aspirin prevents cells from sticking and the Niacin raises the Good Cholesterol which in turns lowers the bad.

You don't need to spend a lot of money to do this, trust me.

Good Luck

Answer 6

If you have high cholesterol you should modify your life style to decrease the accumulative cardiovascular risk. So stopping smoking, losing weight, controlling your blood pressure and glucose and exercise. All these don't reduce cholesterol but reduces the chances if you having a heart attack or stroke. If your cholesterol is high it may be indicated to start medication.
Statins are the group of drugs recommended. They are so safe and effective that they should be added to tap water!
