Cholesterol?!
Question:
Cholesterol?
Allergic to Statens and Niacin. What to take to lower high Cholesterol. HELP
Answers:
First off, understand that high cholesterol is not a disease. Over 2 years ago the American Heart Association even recommended that we start to monitor C-Reactive Protein levels instead of cholesterol because high cholesterol is only 50% predictive of heart attacks.
In other words, 50% of all heart attacks happen in people with normal cholesterol levels.
Improving your fiber intake and reducing your intake of processed foods and artificial sweeteners can improve your liver health and improve your cholesterol levels as 90% of the cholesterol in your body is made by your liver.
