Lowering cholesterol levels can prevent high blood pressure. There are two ways to lower cholesterol levels- through prescribed medications and doing it naturally. Buying doctor prescribed medicines is costly compared to lowering cholesterol through natural means.
To lower cholesterol naturally can be done by changing diets, changing lifestyles and devoting time for a physical exercise or physical activity. All of these can be done without dependence on drugs prescribed by doctors. All you need is determination after setting your goal and time to see the results.
One must be selective for foods to take with intention to lower cholesterol naturally. There are foods to be avoided and there are those to be taken. The following should be avoided- meat products especially red or ground meat, egg yolk, deep fried foods, fast foods and restaurant foods.
If you prefer to eat meat, choose lean meat or poultry. Or, instead of meat it is better to eat fish like sardines, salmon, mackerel and tuna because this is rich in omega 3 fatty acids. There is a substitute for fish and it is the flaxseeds which also can give us omega 3 fatty acids.
Although eggs can be healthy foods, too much consumption of egg yolk is bad for the health. Limit the consumption of egg yolk to one in a day.
Deep fry foods, fast and restaurant foods are bad to the health because of too much salt and seasoning which can raise cholesterol levels. It is better to go for foods cooked at home because you can control the salt mix with the cooked foods.
Saturated and Trans fats are to be avoided because they can develop high cholesterol levels in the body. Foods which contain saturated and Tran's fats are dairy products, red meat, butter, cheese, milk, ice cream and yogurt.
Oatmeal is considered as the greatest fighter for cholesterol. This is rich in fibers like fruits and vegetables which can reduce cholesterol all the time. Fibers have the function of binding cholesterol in the colon and before it is absorbed into the blood stream, remove it out of the body.
Another natural way of lowering cholesterol level is by changing lifestyles. If one had been addicted to alcoholic beverages, cigarettes or prohibited drugs, then positive adjustment can be made by cutting these things off because it only offers bad effects to our health as well as our heart. Although cessation from these vices cannot be made abruptly, time with patience and determination to stop these are needed.
Regular exercise or physical activity is needed for the stretching of our muscles and smooth flow of blood and oxygen to our heart and brain. This can also prevent clogging of the arteries and helps in the functioning not only of the circulatory system but the central nervous, digestive and respiratory systems. If you had not been used to any of the exercise, then you can start with the easiest one which is walking or strolling. And if used to it then you can proceed with the other exercises like jogging aerobics, swimming or other sports activities.
