Lower High Cholesterol Naturally And Safely...Seven Tips You Can Use Immediately

Are you looking to lower your cholesterol naturally without taking risky drugs? Are you looking to lower your cholesterol as quickly as possible? Are you looking for honest answers about high cholesterol? Let me tell you what I've learned...

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance (lipid) that is transported throughout the body in the blood. It is produced in two ways inside our body. It is made by the liver and comes from our diet. As well, it is transported around our body in the blood

Cholesterol is vital for the functioning of the body and forms part of virtually every cell. It keeps cell walls healthy; makes hormones; manufactures vitamin D; makes bile acid that aids in digestion and more...

Cholesterol comes in different types and not all is harmful to the body.

-Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the bad kind of cholesterol. It will probably clog arteries and blood vessel...putting you at risk for heart disease.

-High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the good kind of cholesterol. One of it's job is to help clear the LDL cholesterol out of the blood and lower your risk for heart disease.

Cholesterol and Free Radical Connection

Our body is exposed daily to a cellular process called oxidation that is necessary to fight infection, convert glucose into energy, build muscle and much more...

A by product of this process is free radicals. The most important purpose of cholesterol is to mop up oxidized cholesterol (LDL). In short high cholesterol is basically free radicals.

Naturally our body makes antioxidants which neutralize these free radicals. However, with modern day stresses both physical and mental, lifestyles, diets, excessive exercise, food additives, pesticides, preservatives, harmful chemicals in the air and so on, the body becomes overwhelmed and can't handle the quantity of free radicals.

Cholesterol, Free Radicals and Antioxidants

The body makes enough antioxidants to meet its needs at any given time. However, when your body becomes stressed with modern day lifestyle, the body requires more antioxidants than your body can produce to neutralize the free radicals to lower high cholesterol (LDL). Your body needs help to increase the amount of antioxidants. The best source for antioxidants is from fruits and vegetables. Artificially made antioxidants have not proved to be as useful as they tend to pass straight through the body.

Fruits and vegetables with dark skin contain the most antioxidants. Eat a diet of at least five to seven servings of these daily. Look for fruits and vegetables that are grown organically as these would need to have built up phyto-nutrients to fight the various natural hazard to survive...such as fungi, insects, bacteria and so on.
