In a bid to treat high cholesterol, we are discussing some of the alternative ways which are quite effective in this task. There are several natural products to reduce cholesterol safely and effectively. You may want to research some of these:
1. Guggulipids, an herbal medicine, is useful for high cholesterol, especially in patients that also have a thyroid condition. TrueLEAN 3 contains this along with fiber to "mop up" cholesterol (as our Dr. Joey would say). To further mop up cholesterol from the digestive tract, you can consume apple sauce, oat bran and ground flaxseeds mixed daily. Another option is to eat oatmeal everyday.
2. Red Yeast Extract or Policosanols. I refer to these as natural statins. The standard dose is 10 mg twice per day.
3. Fish oil supplements, like TrueOMEGA, have fabulous cholesterol reducing effects.
4. Your diet should be carbohydrate conscious and contain moderate amounts of healthy fats with little to no bad fats. See www.truestarhealth.com for the perfect dietary recommendations and meal plan for you.
5. Exercise reduces cholesterol and raises good cholesterol. Every workout counts and it’s never too late to start.
