Cherrios claim to lower cholesterol 4% in 6 weeks. Are there other cereals that can do the same thing?
Posted by admin under how can i lower my cholesterol
Cheerios are probably the biggest and do the most advertising, and also are the first to lay claim to that. General Mills can launch a campaign solely highlighting that, while other companies probably just push to be noticed. Are there lesser known cereals, ones that are probably better for you, that has the same ingredients that lower cholesterol?
It might just be the whole oats/grains in the product. Quaker Oats makes the same claim with their products (though I don't think instant oatmeal is too healthy, though I'll eat it in a pinch), as does Kellogg's Heart Smart cereal. (Although Heart Smart has several listings of sugar, including corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup and partially hydrogenated oils and listings of preservatives that I don't consider healthy and will not buy a product if any of these are even listed once.) I shop at Trader Joe's, which is a chain of low cost health food stores. They have a Cheerios equivalent, Joe's O's that have the same comment about cholesterols on them.
In my opinion, it just helps to eat a good, healthy diet. My mother-in-law told me last month that her doctor put her on a new pill for her high cholesterol. Now, this woman eats plenty of stuff I don't even consider food. That day, I noticed she put creamy, fatty dressing on he salad (to me, those types of dressings ruin the salad), and had a nice chunk of red meat for dinner. Typical of her. I had made the diet comment, too. On the other hand, I eat real, whole, good foods and my cholesterol (as of the test I took in late spring/early summer) is low.
Other than the American Heart Association site, I'm sure there are sites that offer information on lowering and maintaining good cholesterol levels, but I just can't think of any good search phrases now.

How I Lowered My Cholesterol From 266 to 151 Without Drugs
Posted by admin under how can i lower my cholesterol
http://www.foursigmatrading.com/hearthealth I took my cholesterol from 266 to 151 using red yeast rice, no-flush niacin, and CoQ10. I started on Crestor, then to Lovastatin, and finally to Red Yeast Rice. The Red Yeast Rice performed almost as good as the pharmaceutical drug Crestor. In this video, you can see my test results. http://www.foursigmatrading.com/healthyheart …

How well does oatmeal lower cholesterol?
Posted by admin under how can i lower my cholesterol
I've read that eating oatmeal every day can lower your cholesterol, but just how effective is it? Would you have to eat tons and tons of it for it to be effective? Or is it how regularly you eat it that lowers your cholesterol?
You are probably correct in estimating you would have to consume a very large volume of oatmeal for it to have an effect equivalent to medication for lowering cholesterol.I think in a best case scenario a cup a day if you are on a cardiac diet may knock 8-10 pts off your total chol. reading.

What is the safest way to lower cholesterol without taking drugs?
Posted by admin under how can i lower my cholesterol
My lpl cholesterol was 158 my Dr. wants me to take tricor. I've read the side effects and I am leary to take it. Are there any supplements that anyone has taken to help lower their cholesterol?
When looking at cholesterol number you really have to look at both the LDL and the HDL. Even though your LDL is still considered fairly normal your doctor may have noticed that your HDL is very low and it's the ratio between the two that can make a difference.
The best way to get your HDL higher is through exercise (cardio). See if you can fit 30 minutes a day of brisk walking into your daily routine as this will help.
Do your parents and siblings have high cholesterol levels? If so then your doctor may be taking this into consideration. Often high cholesterol is genetic and he may be trying to stop yours from getting any higher.
There are several ways that you can help lower your LDL levels and I am very surprised that your doctor did not mention them-here are just a few.
Oatmeal. Oatmeal is a soluble fiber which will surround cholesterol and whisk it away so that it is removed when the oatmeal leaves your body. It doesn't absorb much each time and that is why they say in order for it to really help you need to eat it at least 5 times a week.
Soy. Soy is also good in helping to lower levels. Think soy milk, soy yogurt and soy ice cream. Soy contains plant sterols which help lower levels. One thing with soy however, is that some people don't recommend that you take in a lot of soy if you have any cancer. Soy helps to product estrogen and the estrogen may affect breast cancer.There is not enough estrogen to see any difference like accenting female characteristics but the cancer thing is something to think about.
Cholesterol lowering margarine type spreads. In the grocery store you will notice some newer margarines that say " will lower cholesterol " on the label, choose those over butter or standard margarine. They are a bit more expensive, but they taste the same, you can cook with them and even if they only help a bit, it's still helping.
In the yogurt section you will now find Promise active shots. These are small bottles that contain some plant sterols that will again help to lower your levels.
As mentioned earlier flush free niacin can also help as will cinnamon (you can find it capsules in Walmart and any other store that carries supplements. They are inexpensive.
Omega oils and fish oils will again help a bit.
You will notice that with most natural products they each lower your levels a small amount but if you watch what you eat and add these natural products in you should be seeing a drop.
I would discuss the natural route with your doctor and let him/her know that you prefer not to take the medicine that they have mentioned and there is a good chance that they will work with you. My husband was told to go on medication but when he explained to his doctor that he would prefer not to, his doctor just told him to try the natural way first & to go back in 6 months for a follow up test. If the test showed that it was still high, then he would go on medication. However, if he was able to lower it then he would only need a blood test every 6 months to monitor it.
He has been using the natural ways along with the product from the site below and there has been a major change.
Since each person and each circumstance is different see what works for you.

I’ll get to walk my daughters down the aisle
Posted by admin under how can i lower my cholesterol
On March 7, which happened to be the anniversary of my Fathers passing in 1991 from a massive heart attack, I was back to see my doctor once again to get my stress test results. I didnt know at the time just how prophetic that date would come to be. For the first time, my doctor was very serious when he told me that the stress test confirmed what the EKG was showing. The blip I experienced definitely had something to do with my heart. My doctor then prescribed a more in-depth stress test …
