How can someone lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol levels?

Answer 2

High sugar levels make your blood like maple syrup, especially if you don't get plenty of exercise. Your increased cholesterol levels come from eating not only animals, but eating their byproducts as well. The body manufactures cholesterol, your body, my body the animal's body. You need it. What happens, however, when you consume cholesterol from sources not your own, your body treats the cholesterol as a foreign entity and stores it because it can't be utilized by your body. If you eat enough of it, your body can't get rid of it, so then you have it floating around in the bloodstream and that elevates your blood cholesterol levels. Stay away from all dairy products, (yes, I'm sorry, cheese & yogurt too), meats, butter (there is a butter alternative called Earth Balance margarine that is good for you and helps to promote natural cholesterol levels in the blood). Sugar makes your blood thicker and by so doing, it makes it more difficult for your body to remove the particles of cholesterol that have lodged themselves in your bloodstream. You might want to check out an excellent book about elevated cholesterol and what can be done about it. The title of the book is included below. It would be worth your while to read it, it's very well written, interesting and informative. I really enjoyed reading it. Best of luck my friend. I sincerely hope this helps.

Answer 3

If you are willing to go on a fat-free diet for 2 weeks you can bring your total cholesterol level down to the 160-170 range. You would then be in a position to eliminate partially hydrogenated vegetable oils from your diet and to cut your fat consumption to 25% of total calories which will allow you to achieve your objectives. If you happen to be someone who has trouble metabolizing cholesterol (genetics) these methods will not work.
