I have a high Cholesterol - what is the fastest way to lower it?

Question: I have been told Feenugeek, porridge and garlic helps, also regular exercise. Can anyone let me know any good websites offering more information.

Answers:
Regular exercise is good, you also should try to lose weight by reducing your caloric intake (smaller meals & portion size). You should try to increase your fiber intake, adding oatmeal (not the overly sweetened kind, watch those calories!) whole grain breads and pastas. Reduce or completely remove eggs, red meats (even Pork, the other white meat!) and certain fruits/veggies like coconut and avacado (although Avacado is not all bad.)

Also, if you are under a Doctor's care, there are some very effective medicines, but first try the diet/exercise routine to see if that will bring it back nito normal range - you want to avoid meds as long as possible!

Check these sites - American Heart Association is a good start, but there are also some natural paths sites to look at as well. Make sure you tell your Doc what you are doing, even if you think they will think it's "Crazy" or "Fringe" medicine. It's YOUR health, not theirs, so let them know you want alternatives and are taking charge of your health!

Good luck, you can do it! And be patient. It takes time to clear out those levels, and determination to avoid those food you love, trust me!
