Healthy Vegan Diet

The very best natural cure and home remedy for high cholesterol is to eat a plant based vegan diet. Dr. McDougall (a renowned authority on healing disease through healthy diet) has written some very interesting and compelling articles about the relationship between high cholesterol and heart disease. He says that a low-fat, no-cholesterol diet will reduce your cholesterol dramatically and also help to prevent the opportunity for heart disease to ever develop. Animal meats are full of saturated fat and make your blood clot. The day you quit eating meat your blood automatically begins to thin out. Animal fats also increase the production of certain hormones which in turn cause our blood vessels to constrict which increases the chance of our blood clotting. If you have high cholesterol pleased read Dr. McDougall’s article: http://www.drmcdougall.com/med_cholesterol.html this information could save your life. He has much more information on his website about healing other diseases through eating a healthy diet. I spent a week at one of his 5 day workshops and was very impressed with everything I learned. His knowledge about diet and disease has saved my life and it could easily save yours or a loved one’s life as well! Do not delay, check out http://www.drmcdougall.com !

Lecithin

I had high cholesterol and was searching for ways of reducing it. I already ate a pretty good diet and wanted an additional remedy to help lower it. The natural remedy for high cholesterol I found that seemed to work really well for me was adding lecithin to my daily diet. Lecithin has the wonderful ability to break down cholesterol into tiny particles and then help release it from our system. Lecithin is present in many natural foods but what I found that worked best was purchasing a bad of lecithin from the health food store. I add this to a smoothie I make in the morning using almond milk. I also sprinkle it on cereal.

Apple Cider Vinegar

I have had high cholesterol for a long time. My cholesterol was 225 and my HDL was higher than it should be. My doctor wanted me to take medication yet I still wanted to try and lower it naturally. I eat a good diet but that alone was not doing the job, so I researched many home remedies for high cholesterol and could see that apple cider vinegar was predominant in submitted home remedies for high cholesterol that worked. So, I began to use apple cider vinegar daily and within 2 months my cholesterol was lowered to about 183. My HDL was lower too but still not within the guidelines for a normal or healthy reading. The nurse encouraged me to start the medication however I still wanted to try a few more months on my own through using natural remedies. I continued on with my daily apple cider vinegar. I purchase the organic apple cider because I believe it is healthier. I also began to use ground flaxseed on my cereal each morning. Within 4 more months my cholesterol had really dropped. My doctor was surprised and could no longer encourage me to take statin drugs. I really encourage everyone to try the natural cure for high cholesterol. Diet plays a key role in not only lowering our cholesterol but also for our overall health!
