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’ »
