You And Your Cholesterol
Are you aware that nearly 107 million Americans have total cholesterol of 200 mg/dL or higher, a level at which cardiovascular risk begins to rise.
High Cholesterol and Triglyceride (blood fat) can easily be controlled by following a few simple rules and without giving up some of the pleasures you enjoy most!
Of course you will have to make some minor changes to your lifestyle, but believe me, they will be mindless once you become use to them.
You see ten years ago my doctor wanted to place me on medication due to my high cholesterol levels.
I was totally shocked because I felt fine, and was going to see him for something unrelated. I have to admit that I love to eat, but I was a person that hardly ever got sick.
I knew that my family had a history of high cholesterol and blood pressure but I never thought it would happen to me.
At that point, I started thinking about my dad and the Quadruple Bypass he had a couple years earlier.
I know my doctor thought I was out of my mind but I convinced him to give me 30 days to reduce my bad cholesterol, and get it under control. If not, I would be more than happy to start taking the medication.
I had a plan and stuck to it. There was no way I was going to let this thing beat me.
When I returned to his office 30 days later, he was completely amazed at how low my levels were and told me to continue doing what I was doing.
To be honest with you, I was more amazed than he was. I was thrilled...not expecting such good results.
It has been ten years since that visit, and each time I visit his office for a check up my levels are consistently good!
A lot of people can lower their levels by incorporating the right diet plan, knowing what foods to stay away from, educating themselves on the benefits of natural herbs and having a simple exercise regiment.
Unfortunately for some, no matter what they do - they will not be able to get their levels under control and will have to seek the advice of their medical professional.
Always try to get it down naturally, if you don't succeed, at least you will have known that you gave it your best effort.
