Question:
What are some natural treatments for high cholesterol?
Answers:
Improve your diet by reducing saturated fats and dietary cholesterol. Substitute fish for meat, eat high-fiber foods (grains, vegetables, and fruits), and use monounsaturated oils (olive or canola) in place of butter.
Dietary cholesterol can raise blood cholesterol levels. But it's the saturated fat in foods that affects cholesterol levels even more. Even if a food label boasts No Cholesterol, don't just assume the product is healthy. Check carefully for its saturated fat content. Follow a program of regular exercise to help raise your HDL level.
