6 ways to fight back against high cholestorol

1. Eat Less Saturated Fat
Particularly bad are red meat, cheese, full fat dairy products. I'm not saying 'give them up' but if cholestorol is a problem consider a month's fast from them.
2. Eat More Healthy Fats
Yes, not all fats are bad for you. Good sources of healthy fats are olive oil, avocados, olives, nuts and pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
3. Learn to relax
Long-term stress raises blood cholestorol levels. People under stress tend to eat more fatty foods. To help you relax, take up a hobby like running marathons:-)
4. Start moving
No not your house or your country but just some gentle exercise at least three times a week. This has the effect of reducing cholestorol levels. Don't panic... just do it.
5. Lose weight
Helps lower your risk of heart disease, stroke and even cancer.
6. Eat more fruit and vegetables
Fruit and vegetables are natures way of healing the body and keeping it fit for action. If you struggle to get your 9 a day then try taking a natural supplement such as Juice Plus+. Go to http://www.juiceplus.co.uk/+mm026962 for more info.
