High cholesterol

yes to what u say!

i am experiencing high cholesterol now and i am taking drugs to lower it. i am watching my diet too by taking foods with low fat, salt and sugar. most of all, regular exercise is advised.

incidentally, i am now back to playing badminton. it has been almost 2 months that i stopped because i felt i should rest for a while after my bout with flu.

Regular sustained rapid walking or cycling or swimming reduces LDL (Bad choleterol) and increases HDL (Good cholesterol) naturally. The duration of the workout should be at least 45 minutes. Chewing a cinnamon stick and a couple of cloves also helps to maintain proper levels of cholesterol. A physicians advice is necessary regarding exercise to optimize the levels of aerobic activity. Good health often comes free!

I was told that high cholesterol can cause mal-absorption of nutrients. I took an Rx for a couple of months to lower mine. But now I control it with diet and exercise. I also take some herbal supplements.

I have heard that high cholesterol is not only a diet derived illness, but that it is also of genetic causes. There are some people who eay only lettuce and cholesterol doesn´t go up. Anyway, it´s a good idea to check it because, besides a diet, there are medications to lower it.
