Answer 2

It is a very serious subject for which I think you better research it. Your quality and lenght of life depends on it. Goggle-it, or use the Yahoo search to get detail answers. I will needs lots of time and space to explain it to you. In a few words: Your kidneys keep the electrolytes in balance on your blood stream by retaining or excreting water. The more salty your diet, the higher your blood pressure, the more harder your pump (heart) has to work to circulate the blood to all the areas of your body and organs. High blood pressure, means higher chances for stroke, kidney failure, cardiovascular diseases. Drugs may be expensive, and you may don't like to take them because of fear of side effects, but if you have no alternative, the choice is lap sided. I would suggest that you buy first a blood pressure monitor so you can test your B P once or twice a day. Keep detail records so you can see how it difference from when your are up-beat or when you are relaxed and for your doctor to ba able to do a better diagnosis. Then try to control your diet. Avoid salty food as much as you can, and keep a balanced diet with out excessive protein that makes your kidney work harder. Don't consume too much alcohol, quit smoking, avoid cafeine in any form,and exercise 30 to 45 minutes daily and regularly. Find ways to control or avoid STRESS. If there is not any kidney or circulatory damage already, you maybe able to control you situation without drugs. But if your sincere efforts have no results, then check with YOUR PHYSICIAN and follow his recommendations.

Answer 3

I have noticed a big difference after I started taking Red Yeast Rice. As much as my doctor hates to admit it my numbers have come down since I started taking it. I have most recently started taking a new product on the market called StemEnhance. I have not been on it long enough to say what I have experienced yet but the claims in the ad were worth giving it a try. I got nothing to lose by taking it. You can check out both products on the sites I have listed for you.

Answer 4

Depending on your age and genetic background, you can lower it with diet, but the above mentioned paramaters will determine by how much. Eat alot of garlic, vegetables, fruits and avoid all dairy products, shell fish, red meat, and Eggs. Good Luck.

Answer 10

The key is that you have to be doing something physical each and every day, and you have to stick with it for the rest of your life. The only way to have healthy cholesterol levels is to engage in regular physical exercise. There is no way around it! No prescription drug will give you the same benefit, and there’s no nutritional supplement that takes the place of physical exercise. The human body was meant to be moved, and if you want yours to be healthy, you've got to move it.

Besides exercise, I’ve also completely eliminated all processed foods and junk foods from my diet. I eat no manufactured foods whatsoever, that is, no breads, no packaged cereals, no frozen foods, no fried foods, no junk foods, and certainly no candy bars, breads, crackers, cookies, pastas or anything of that sort. I also avoid cow’s milk, and I wouldn't touch red meat if you paid me.

Red meat is one of those foods that tends to give people very bad cholesterol numbers. It raises their LDL cholesterol and gives them a heavy dose of saturated animal fat. I also avoid all chemical ingredients that are known to promote disease... these ingredients include MSG, sodium nitrite, chemical sweeteners such as aspartame, and of course artificial colors.

I drink no soft drinks whatsoever, no milk and no fruit juices. The only things I drink are water, soy milk and unsweetened tea. In addition to avoiding certain foods, I also supplement my diet with a wide array of superfoods, medicinal herbs, vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements. My favorites are chlorella, spirulina, broccoli sprouts, quinoa, sea vegetables, soy products, and any of the green food powders or fresh vegetables. This is where I get my outstanding nutrition that I firmly believe plays a huge role in my ability to produce outstanding cholesterol numbers.

In addition to all this, I make sure I get plenty of fiber in my diet, and I eat a lot of macadamia nuts, pecans, peanuts, cashews and other nuts. I frequently supplement with flaxseed oil, extra virgin coconut oil and olive oil. And by the way, a lot of people would say that coconut oil is extremely bad for your cardiovascular health. Some doctors argue that because it has saturated fat, it must be bad for you. Yet I eat coconut oil on a daily basis, and yet my cholesterol numbers speak for themselves. They show that a diet with extra virgin coconut oil is quite consistent with outstanding cardiovascular health. If coconut oil were bad for you, my numbers would be out of whack. There's no way I could have a ratio of 1.08 if I were consuming fats on a daily basis that were bad for my health.

Some of the other things I do, from a nutritional standpoint, are eating aloe vera gel, and eating no corn oil or other low-grade oils. I avoid all hydrogenated oils, and I eat at least one extremely large salad every day. Some days I eat two large salads. I also supplement with rice protein, soy protein, psyllium husk fiber, and superfood products like Berry Green and The Ultimate Meal. There's no question in my mind that a person who does all of these things will achieve similar numbers to the ones I'm demonstrating here.



you could start walking every day, beginning tomorrow. You could walk 30 minutes a day and then increase it gradually until you're walking one hour a day. You could start avoiding certain foods in your diet, such as red meat, soft drinks, cow’s milk or anything containing hydrogenated oils. Be sure to check the ingredient to find out which foods contain hydrogenated oils.

You could also start supplementing superfoods right now. It just costs you a few dollars a day (about the cost of one cup of coffee from Starbucks), but it has a remarkable impact on your health. I suggest starting with spirulina and chlorella, because they're the easiest to take in capsule form. Check out quinoa and look into supplementing your daily diet with green foods powders, like those I've mentioned above. You can also look into taking high-quality mineral supplements and making sure you're getting enough calcium and trace minerals in your diet. Investigate sea vegetables and find out what they can do for you. Plants from the ocean offer amazing healing properties and I’m a firm believer in their ability to treat cancer, among other chronic diseases.

The bottom line is that you can start making changes now to lower your cholesterol and improve your overall health that don't involve taking prescription drugs, and this is the thing that's going to keep you healthier in the long term. Sure, you can mask symptoms by taking prescription drugs, and as more symptoms appear you can take more and more drugs to mask those as well. By the time you're 60, you'll be on 12 medications a day, you'll spend $1500 a month, and you'll be a chemical wreck.
