Foods that Lower Cholesterol is only Part of the Overall Plan - part 1
Hi,
Talking about Foods that Lower Cholesterol is only part of my goal with this blog. Today I thought I’d add a short article I wrote some time ago to help explain the seriousness of having high cholesterol and heart disease. This article lays out an abbreviated plan for reducing your cholesterol level and heart attack risk.
The cost of heart disease on globally is staggering. Current treatment methods help but they do not provide a cure for this multi-billion dollar health problem. So I ask you as you read this take the information you’re about to read seriously and remember, “The life you save may be your own”.
It seems like almost every day there’s a news story talking about heart attacks, high cholesterol, or other heart related problems. It’s easy to understand why, because millions of folks worldwide are affected.
But, with so much information coming out every day people start to get confused about what to do, what information is correct, and how to improve their own cholesterol levels.
My goal with this article is to educate you and provide you with resources that will help you decrease your cholesterol and improve your health.
Lowering your cholesterol and decreasing your heart attack risk can be challenging but it is possible. Doing so actually involves a multi-step approach as outlined below.
Step one: You must learn what your cholesterol level is and how it increases your chances of having a heart attack. But, don’t just rely on your doctor to tell you everything, go out and get the information you need to educate yourself.
Keeping in mind that we are all different and the cause for your high cholesterol problem may be different than mine. But, it is possible to lower your cholesterol and improve your cardiac health.
Step two: Once you know your cholesterol is high, you need to reduce the amount of bad cholesterol in your blood stream and increase the amount of good cholesterol. I know pretty obvious, but you’d be amazed at how many people are stuck at this point.
Step three: The next step in your cholesterol reduction plan is to unstick the cholesterol already struck to your artery walls. This is something most people don’t even think about or are aware is even possible. You accomplish this through a combination diet changes (i.e. eating foods that lower cholesterol), exercise, and if needed medication.
Remember, your cholesterol didn’t just start to clog up for no reason and form an instant blockage in the center of your artery. No, there was some event that triggered a chain reaction that led to your cholesterol attaching itself to the artery wall.
