Top 12 Cholesterol-Lowering Foods

Learn more about cholesterol-lowering foods here: draxe.com/cholesterol-lowerin...
So many people are interested in lowering cholesterol and, unfortunately, so many of those people turn to medication. I’m here to tell you that you can lower your cholesterol naturally.
You can completely transform your cholesterol levels by eating a healthy diet. Cholesterol-lowering foods include all sorts of great-tasting fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish, lean meats and plenty of healthy sources of fat.
When it comes to lowering high cholesterol naturally, strictly avoiding all fats is not the answer. Even totally avoiding foods that contain cholesterol itself (like eggs or cheese) isn’t necessary. It’s all about moderation and balance.
In this episode of Ancient Medicine Today, Jordan Rubin shares the top 12 cholesterol-lowering foods to support heart health.

I once went to get my cholesterol tested. I think I was supposed to fast but I decided for fun to go ahead and eat a high-fat breakfast. My triglycerides which tend to be only 35 went up to 50 as a result of this. I had a high HDL and a low LDL. He told me I was not at risk for heart disease.

*Food is medicine. It's a lovely fact which helps people to live healthy life.*

[@nixland]

I think that's what happened to me. My LDL is around 120, never below 100. My HDL around 45, never above 60. I have been not eating ALL cholesterol food about 3 months and the HDL & LDL level didn't change (the triglycerides and total cholesterol went down drastically though). I once tried eating meat, cow liver, seafood, eggs, etc for a month and the ldl/hdl level didn't change either (only triglycerides that fluctuate).

[@rkrforlife2024]

I agree with all, I just wish you’d mentioned Psylium husk.

[@buknimanna]

Hi Jordan, when someone like your wife has hereditary cholesterol, what do you recommend? My friend who is 49 just had a major heart attack. He’s on Crestor. They just doubled his dose. What would you recommend?

[@celiafish]

My doctor said that my cholesterol is high and I need to be medicated it! I ll try this first and we ll see what happen. Thanks!

[@rachelhmua]

I would love to hear your thoughts on food for medicine in regards to anixety and depression, please.

[@kiidiculla7289]

Rachel Tyler

[@jonathanmaroshick1170]

Magnesium ( I take it something called natural calm that you can get in the Healthfood Store) that takes care of Anxiety. As far as depression take a shot (small medicine cup) of flax seed oil. Both of these work great.

[@jamaicaninthekitchen4358]

Rachel Tyler research haritika that should help with the anxiety

[@jamaicaninthekitchen4358]

you can also have your Thyroid4 check.That can also cause anxiety

[@bybbah]

Find out the cause of the anxiety ,like one lady said yes check your body THYROID, do you have fibroid ,do you sleep good at night time,how is your energy.go deeper.the anxiety is a result from something ,do have back issues.Your body is telling you something.I hope by now you find out.eishing you all the best.

[@karenfreeman7833]

Thank you so much i was feeling pretty down about my TC being 8.6 and LDL 5.88 now I'm going to continue eating correctly and using essential oils. It's very annoying as I am only 147 pounds and 167 cm fitness instructor I have an inherited high cholesterol.

[@FlyingRedTailHawk]

nice video

[@whollymary7406]

In 1997 a Dr Simmons conducted a study using thousands of test subjects the topic “what actually causes heart attacks” is it high blood cholesterol? The study a diet too high in acidic foods and too low in alkaline foods cause inflammation which is the root cause of heart attacks, this information can be found in medical journals of that period and on the web

[@taniahjahmad]

Sweet potatoes boiled n some water then add coconut milk and some sweetener. Add pandan leaf if you have while booking. Yummy!
