Answer 2

Hello, there is actually alot of natural and alternative ways you can reduce your cholesterol! I am surprised that educated adults can advise otherwise especially seings cholesterol is affected by diet and lifestyle primarily, unless it is a hereditary cause. Anyways, one of the important things you need to think about when reducing cholesterol is not only cutting out animal fats and foods high in saturated fats but you want to also increase foods that increase you HDL. HDL is the "good" cholesterol. So for a really basic plan i would increase exercise and water intake, take fish oils with a high EFA so preferably liquid form, lecithin tablets, eat as many green veg as possible. Cut out refined foods and replace with fruit. Alternative medicine is the best chance you have otherwise you may need to go on pharmaceuitcal drugs to reduce cholesterol which you will be on for the rest of your life, these drugs have had major side effects printed in medical journals (so no Dr can deny that evidence)!!!!

Answer 3

Diet and excercise if you are steering clear of antilipemics. Stay away from fatty foods, fast food, red meat and processed foods. If you do choose an antilipemic watch the side effects. Lipitor is notorious for headaches, muscle aches and other flu-like symptoms. If you do lower your cholesterol by dieting you must continue the diet to keep it low, once you return to eating "normal" your cholesterol will for sure return high again, or even go higher.

Diet and exercise are the best things to lower cholesterol.
