Q: What is the best way to lower cholestrol without the use of western medicine?
Iv heard that cutting out meat and fatty foods alone may not be the answer as it is the body that makes our own cholestrol - is this true? Please help
A: Eating the food is only one cause of high cholesterol. The liver makes cholesterol on its own. As far as other methods to help get rid of it are concerned, try using the b vitamin called Niacin. The other thing that you have to be aware of is that Homocystein is a by product of cholesterol conversion Use folic acid to prevent homocystein.
Q: What are the natural ways to reduce cholestrol rather than taking statins?
I do not want RX meds, but need to lower my cholestrol. What are the alternatives???
A: There are several supplements and herbs that are very beneficial for Cholesterol health. You've made a good decision to avoid the Cholesterol drugs... there are too many potential side effects to worry about (I can tell you more about that if you'd like).
Some of the most beneficial natural products for Cholesterol health are Red Yeast Rice, Policosanol, Beta Sitosterol, Omega 3 and 9 Fatty Acids (typically in Fish Oil, Flax Oil, and Olive Oil), Guggul, Niacin, Lecithin, Garlic, PhosphatidylCholine, and any good soluble fiber. Each of those help with different aspects of Cholesterol health, so you may need a variety of them... try one or two of them out. Aside from that, there's always the standard plan of diet and exercise, but that's normally just increasing soluble fiber (veggies, fruits, grains, etc) and decreasing bad foods (some sugars, certain fatty foods, etc). Good luck!
Q: What are good average levels for blood sugar and cholestrol?

A: Depends on the laboratory doing the testing for their "normal range". Generally speaking, 80 to 110 for a finger stick blood sugar level. Less than 200 for total cholesterol and 180 or 160 is now becomming the better "normal".

Q: What's the best and easiest way to reduce cholestrol?
If we have high cholestrol in our body does that mean our blood pressure is high too? And on the other side, if our blood pressure is high, does it mean that our cholestrol level is high too? These two things does it go together?
A: A lot of high cholesterol and high blood pressure is due to being overweight. That is why many people have both. Some people, though, have one or the other or both these conditions even though they are fit. These conditions are not related in themselves. Everyone who has either should see their doctor for treatment. There are effective medications for both.
High blood pressure occurs because the heart has to beat with more force to push blood through the body. This excess force can damage blood vessels. Cholesterol comes in two types, HDL (good) and LDL (bad). The HDL are associated with removing fats and other things from the blood and moving it to the liver for excretion. High HDL is good, low HDL is bad. LDL carry fats throughout the body for storage and use by the cells. Too many of these are associated with artery disease. The combination of high blood pressure and high LDL cholesterol is doubly bad, because the narrowed blood vessles increase the pressure even more in the locations where both occur. Also, narrowed blood vessles can collect blood clots, which high blood pressure can rip lose, where it can cause a stroke, or heart attack.
Besides medication: IF a person is overweight, and their weight has risen steadily over time, LDL cholesterol can be reduced a lot by losing just 10% of weight. If a person loses weight by exercising with moderately-high intensity 20 - 40 minutes a day, both of these conditions can be greatly improved or eliminated, expecially with a HDL increase. One of the claims of the Adkins diet is that prople being treated for cholesterol or high blood pressure could throw away their medicine as soon as they start the diet. (Dr. supervison is advised for any medication reduction)
Q: What are some ways to reduce a cholestrol level in 2 weeks?
My dad's current cholestrol level is 7.2, which is pretty high considering the average level is 5. He needs to get it back to an average level is 2 weeks.

Q: When you cook olive oil, is it true that the amount of cholestrol increases by over 400%?
i know that olive oil does not contain any cholestrol, most probably a minimal amount. but is it true that if you cook with olive oil, the cholestrol level risees up to 400% ???
i've heard that long ago and i'm rather concerned.
A: Cooking with olive oil lowers the bad cholesterol without affecting the good cholesterol...there is controversy whether people lose or gain weight cooking with olive oil...

Q: What are the possibilites of my actually having high cholestrol?
I'm 15 and my doctor says I should get it checked.
I don't really have a super healthy diet but I dont eat crazy fattening foods.
Is there a huge possibility that I'd have high cholestrol?
:O
I think it is in my family history and I am not overweight.
A: He is probably suggesting it because of family history, or because you are obviously overweight.
Q: what actually happens when one's cholestrol level goes beyond 240 ?
I am 23 yr old man and had checked my cholestrol level which has gone upto 237, ideally it should be < 240 for a normal man. So I want to know that, what r the dieases related to this and how this can be cured ?
A: Actually, for your age (20-29), a cholesterol of over 200 will put you at moderate risk for cardiovascular disease (heart attack, stroke, aneurysms, etc). 220 or higher puts you at high risk. If you're 23 and your cholesterol is already this high, you may have a familial hypercholesterolemia.
High cholesterol increases plaque formation in the arteries and atherosclerosis. This increases blood pressure, which can cause a constellation of disorders (risk of aneurysm, risk of aortic tear, cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmia, heart failure, renal failure). Elevated blood lipids can also lead to acute pancreatitis. And a cosmetic side effect is that sometimes cholesterol crystals accumulate under the skin, forming xanthomas.
The best ways to reduce cholesterol are diet modification, exercise, and pharmaceuticals. I've heard that whole grains are good for lowering cholesterol, and so are unsaturated fats (the saturated ones are bad). Of course, eating less fat and less cholesterol. Exercise can also help reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and raise HDL (good cholesterol). As for drugs, your doctor may prescribe statins, bile acid-binding resins, niacin, or fibrates to help lower your cholesterol even more.
A good lipid profile (low LDL, high HDL) can reverse atherosclerosis -- so it's worth a shot.
