Any idea how to deal with Cholesterol?

hello Madona1, its really sad to know about this.and its strange that even if your husband is a vegetarian,his cholestrol level is high.i think there must be some other reason behind this. well i have a solution to this.i don't know if it will work in his case or not.but still i would like to suggest you.tell him to take 2 pods of garlic in the morning daily in empty stomach.or you can include raw garlic in salads or anything convenient.garlic is considered to be the best cholestrol manager.it will melt all your extra fat in the body and will even prevent fats to get deposited.my mom had experienced this and she took garlic to control her cholestrol. best of luck.

It's really weird that he eats mainly vegetables and fruits, but still has high cholesterol! Does he eat any fried stuff? If he doesn't, I really don't know how this can be... But anyway, I've read once that soy milk is really good to reduce it. I don't know if he drinks regular milk, but he should replace it for at least two glasses of soy milk daily. Oat, vegetable oils (like olive oil, for example) and fish are also very beneficial, as far as I know. Good luck to your husband. :)

If it is not from the diet, it is from genetics. He would have gotten it from some relative of his. For that kind of high cholesterol the only thing to do is get a cholesterol lowering med from the doctor.
