In 2002 I began to experience heart palpitations. I was driving my vehicle down the road to have coffee with a buddy. I felt relaxed and I was not aware of any stress in my life. As I pulled up to a light that was just changing to red, my heart took off. I felt as though I was going to pass out. I could see things going black. I quickly slammed the vehicle into ‘park’ just in case I blacked out.

I remember coughing a couple of times and thinking “what the hell’s going on?”. Fortunately, by the time the light when green, I was coming out of it enough to chance proceeding. It passed in minutes and I put it behind me. But it scared me like nothing else has ever done!

After my family physician insisted that I begin to take Lipitor for my high cholesterol, I became determined to lower my cholesterol naturally, without the aid of prescription drugs.

Here are a few simple tweaks I made to my diet to do so:

1. Breakfast: Instead of a bagel and cream cheese, I opted for oatmeal and an apple.

Why does this work?

It works because both oatmeal and apples contain soluble fiber, which help me to lower my cholesterol– the bad kind, that is (otherwise known as LDL cholesterol). Soluble fiber also reduces the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream. All it takes is 5 to 10 grams (or more!) a day to reduce your total and LDL cholesterol levels. There are 5 grams of fiber in one medium apple. 1 1/2 cups of cooked oatmeal has 6 grams of fiber– so I reach my daily quota by breakfast time alone!

See, little tweaks make a big difference. Let’s continue, shall we? Continue reading ‘Lower My Cholesterol – 5 Simple Diet Tweaks That Help Me to Do Just That’ »
