Let's talk a bit about lowering the "bad" cholesterol - LDL.
There are foods that are present in every (or most) kitchen that can help lower the LDL numbers in the blood. Here are some of them:
Oatmeal - Oatmeal and oat bran have soluble fiber, which has been found to be a factor in lowering LDL. It has been found that 5 - 10 grams of soluble fiber a day can reduce LDL. 1.5 cups of oatmeal have 4.5 grams of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber reduces the absorption of cholesterol in the intestines and causes it to be excreted from the body.
Other foods with soluble fiber are kidney beans, apples, pears, prunes and brussel (yuck) sprouts, sweet potatoes, carrots.
Almonds and walnuts have also been found to help lower LDL. Nuts are also very high in calories so just eat a handful every day. You can put them in your salad instead of croutons! Nuts are fatty and help keep blood vessels healthy and elastic.
EAT NUTS!!!!!
Blueberries - Recent research has found that not only are blueberries a powerful antioxidant, but that they also have the power to lower LDL. Go out and eat some blueberries and maybe some other berries as well.

Do you have high cholesterol?
Often, doctors will prescribe Statin drugs to their patients who do not manage to lower their cholesterol with diets.
Here are some of the conditions that have been connected with statins:
brain damage, muscle damage, kidney damage, memory loss, decreased sexual interest or ability, heartburn, diziness, headaches, diarrhea and more.
My medical research on the internet has led me to believe that statins must be avoided at all costs!
I found a product called The 60 Day Prescription Free Cholesterol Cure.
This e-book was written by a health researcher named Frank Mangano, who came up with a natural method of reducing cholesterol because his mother did not want to take prescription drugs. She succeeded in lowering her cholesterol by 40 points using his method alone!!! Mangano spent many, many hours researching the topic and probably knows more about cholesterol than many doctors who just keep writing out those prescriptions.
If you check out the sales page for this 100+ page electronic manual you will see genuine testimonials written by people who bought the book.
What's especially impressive is that there is a 60 day money-back-guarantee.
He actually tells you that if you have not managed to lower your cholesterol to where you want it to be within 8 weeks of purchasing the book he will give a COMPLETE REFUND.
I will admit that I don't totally agree with everything he writes in the book and I also think that he made the book a bit longer than necessary. He could have spaced it differently and had much less pages, but it's very, very informative as is. I feel that it's worth a read, though because he explores many diet/supplement/exercise related aspects of cholesterol. Although I am a very well read person when it comes to health, I did learn new information from this book.
