Has your doctor told you that you need to lower your
cholesterol levels? If so, you are not alone.
A recent study shows that more than one third of American
adults are at risk of coronary disease because of high blood
cholesterol, according to the New York Times. The researchers
reported that 60 million Americans over 20 years old have
cholesterol levels high enough to require "medical advice and
intervention.
LDL cholesterol, or "bad" cholesterol, as it is sometimes
referred to, is produced by the liver and circulates in the
blood. It slowly accumulates on the inner walls of your
arteries, which nourish your heart and brain. It contributes to
the formation of a hard substance called plaque that can
actually block the flow of blood in your arteries and make them
less flexible. This in turn puts your circulatory system at
risk. If a clot forms, it can cause a heart attack. If it
travels to the brain, it can cause a stroke.
What can you do to improve your health? Prescription
medications can help, but they are costly. Dietary changes will
improve your cholesterol over time, but you have to stick with
them; which means cutting out some of your favorite foods
altogether. Foods that are high in fats from animal sources,
like fried foods and fatty meats, directly raise your
cholesterol. Also, diets high in simple carbohydrates and sweets
can also contribute to high LDL cholesterol levels. Some studies
even show that stress is linked with high LDL levels due to the
body's chemical response to stressful situations.
How can you improve your LDL cholesterol levels by adding
something to your dietary habits, rather than taking something
away? Beta-sitosterol is a natural plant phytonutrient that has
been shown to reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels. It is a
natural compound found in pecans, pumpkin seeds, soybeans and
rice. It is clinically proven to reduce the body's absorption of
cholesterol.
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition published a study
that reported a 42-percent decrease in absorbed cholesterol when
a subject took beta-sitosterol before eating scrambled eggs.
Beta-sitosterol appears to inhibit cholesterol production in
the liver as well. Beta-sitosterol actually breaks down an
enzyme that is key in the production of harmful LDL cholesterol.
The body naturally produces more cholesterol than a person
normally consumes. A big part of your cholesterol numbers is
determined by heredity. You inherit some of your cholesterol
problem from your parents, but a natural plant phytonutrient may
be powerful enough to counteract a part of that problem,
according to recent medical testing.
So, if you aren't interested in wolfing down piles of rice and
soybeans before every meal, what can you do to incorporate
Beta-sitosterol in to your everyday routine to improve your
cardiovascular health? Thankfully, supplements are available.
Taking care of your ticker is now as simple as taking an herbal
supplement before your meal. Hopefully, the supplements will
help you avoid the unwanted side effects, financial burden and
physical stress on your body that comes with prescription
cholesterol medications.
You should combine your beta-sitosterol supplements with a
heart-healthy diet and exercise for maximum results. Just losing
5 to 10 pounds may dramatically reduce your LDL cholesterol
levels. Little changes in your daily routine will make a big
difference in your long-term health. Try walking up the stairs
instead of taking the elevator at work or ordering veggies
instead of French fries at lunch. Combine these changes with the
addition of a beta-sitosterol supplement and you'll be well on
your way to a happier and healthier future.
