The secret's out.
The secret that the manufacturers of cholesterol medication were hoping you would not learn is now a well proven fact.
Food to lower cholesterol is every bit as effective as cholesterol medication or lowering high lipid levels.
When one first faces the issue of high cholesterol levels, it can be confusing to know what really is the best way to address it.
Your doctor will probably recommend cholesterol medication.
Some individuals that you read on the Internet will make it sound like medication will destroy your health for the rest of your life.
So what is the truth.
The truth is that medication is effective for most individuals but given the potential side effects of muscle, kidney and liver damage it makes much more sense to make changes in your diet to reduce high cholesterol.
I recently read about a doctor who was unable to tolerate the side effects that he experienced from statin medication so he turned to a combination of food to lower cholesterol and increased amount of exercise.
To his surprise, his cholesterol levels improved by more than what most of his patients experienced on medication.
The most effective food for lower cholesterol is that which contains high amounts of plant sterols and fiber.
Beans are at the top of this list making a bowl of chili or lentil soup and effective cholesterol-lowering meal.
Other good foods for lowering high cholesterol include vegetables, nuts and whole grains such as oats.
A great cholesterol reducing breakfast is a bowl of oatmeal with some walnuts mixed in.
Making this type of change in your diet will quickly bring down your high cholesterol levels.
