Can we reduce cholesterol without statins?
If you suffer with high cholesterol then you are not alone, over 52 million prescriptions are written in UK every year for statins, to keep cholesterol at a safe level. However, statins can have serious side effects, do you know how to help yourself lower cholesterol without their help?
Taking statins can deplete the body of essential nutrients coenzyme Q10, zinc and selenium. Many people who have been prescribed statins think they have been given a form of invincibility which enables them to eat or drink whatever they like no matter how unhealthy. Side effects from statins include muscle pain and damage, liver damage, digestive problems, memory loss, skin rash or irritation, nausea and vomiting. If you suffer with high blood pressure or diabetes, have a family history of high cholesterol, are overweight or a smoker then you are more at risk of high cholesterol.
If you follow these six easy steps below then you could be on the right track to keeping healthy cholesterol levels:
- Exercise for 30 minutes a day
- Get plenty of fibre by eating a healthy diet high in fruits and vegetables
- cut out foods high in saturated fats.
- Add oats, walnuts, almonds, oily fish, olive oil and organic fermented soya, to your diet
- Don’t smoke
- Take red yeast rice extract
Talk to your doctor before making any changes to your medication.
