This post shows that with careful food planning, Cholesterol can be lowered naturally.

 

Lowering cholesterol naturally isn’t impossible. This is especially true if you know what to do.
High cholesterol is a common affliction today, contributing to dangerous conditions like heart disease.

Most people turn to medication to lower their cholesterol levels instead of turning to the real culprits: diet and activity (or lack thereof).

With today’s discoveries in nutrition, we know that some specific foods can help lower cholesterol. In addition to making simple lifestyle changes, achieving healthy cholesterol naturally is completely possible.
If you’re trying to avoid taking statins, here’s a list of foods that lower cholesterol naturally:

Cholesterol And Heart Disease

Cholesterol And Heart Disease

Here's an interesting article about Cholesterol and Heart Disease.  Dr Mercola reassures us that cholesterol is not a trigger to disease.
 

• Cholesterol, essential to your health, is both manufactured by your liver and ingested from your food
• Understanding your cholesterol ratios is more important than looking at a single number
• Evidence demonstrates use of statins to reduce risk of heart attacks in people over 60 may be a “waste of time”
• Simple lifestyle choices may reduce your risk for heart disease without the additional health risks associated with statin medications

Argan Oil

While travelling to Morocco some years ago now, I witnessed at first hand the widespread use of Argan Oil both for cooking and cosmetics.  This is said to be as precious as gold dust. And has been used by Berbers in their diet for centuries.  It tastes really good and nutty and can be used in the same way as Olive Oil for dipping bread into it as a starter and many other delicious foods.

Both the medicinal and esthetic benefits of Argan Oil are well known and there is growing demand for this oil.  It contains three times the amount of Vitamin E, has been proven to lower bad Cholesterol and is used as an anti-frizz hair care product plus as extremely nourishing body lotion.

I was therefore delighted when I discovered a supplier in the UK now.  A small company is supplying this oil for cooking. 

The supplier for culinary oil is:  myarganic.co.uk, and a 100ml bottle of this oil retails at £15 - £18.  Of course there are many more suppliers but this company is one I trust, it is small and keen to succeed.
