Cholesterol Treatment

Cholesterol is considered a type of fat, a sterol to be precise. Its production starts with sugar molecules. Please read the preceding sentence a thousand times again and again. Yes, cholesterol production begins when the cells of the body see sugar molecules. These sugar molecules can be glucose (found in starches, processed and un processed foods and all vegetables), fructose (found in fruit and berries) and galactose (found in lactose which is comprised of glucose and galactose). These sugar molecules will be modified within the cells of the body with the end result being the production of cholesterol.

The announcements generated a wave of attention for pterostilbene, not only in the United States but in other countries as well. At least two news organizations in Great Britain directly attributed a boom in British blueberry sales to Rimando’s findings. And the Oxford lab’s results have since been cited by companies marketing products ranging from blueberry extract to juice concentrate to commercially available pterostilbene itself.

Dietary cholesterol is absorbed from many different foods. Fruits and vegetables, and other plant foods, do not add a significant amount of cholesterol to the human diet. However, to say that humans get absolutely no cholesterol from plant sources may be a dangerous statement. Modern nutritional thought indicates that, while the amount of cholesterol absorbed from plant sources may be minimal, cholesterol levels are cumulative and therefore the amount of cholesterol from plant sources may need to be considered.

Treatment of High Cholesterol:

The three main classes include statins, fibrates, and bile acid sequestrants.

Statins include the following medications:

Lipitor (atorvastatin)

Zocor (simvastatin)

Pravachol (pravastatin).

Mevacor (lovastatin)

Crestor (rosuvastatin)

Many natural remedies for high cholesterol contain only one or two useful ingredients but it is essential to have the right synergistic blend of many different ones to provide you with the maximum results.You will also get the added bonus of many other health benefits too such as an improved immune system, protection against many forms of cancers and better circulation.

About one-third to one-fourth of blood cholesterol is carried by high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Medical experts think HDL tends to carry cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it's passed from the body. Some experts believe HDL removes excess cholesterol from plaques and thus slows their growth. HDL is called "good" cholesterol because it helps prevent cholesterol from building up in your arteries. It is mostly protein with only a small amount of fat.

As well as maintaining a healthy cholesterol balance it helps to improve stamina, strength and reaction times while also being beneficial for inflammatory conditions.Phytosterols from plants are good as they have a similar structure to cholesterol and help to reduce the absorption and D-Limonene from orange peel and Pumpkin seed oil are also beneficial.

Types of Cholesterol

Cholesterol is not soluble in water and doesn't mix easily with blood. In order to be able to travel in the bloodstream, the cholesterol made in the liver is combined with protein and other substances. This cholesterol-protein package is called a lipoprotein. Lipoprotein then carries the cholesterol through the bloodstream.

Lipoproteins can be high density (HDL), low density (LDL) or very low density (VLDL), depending on how much protein there is in relation to fat.

The patients had their blood levels checked before the start of the dietary changes and at the end of just two weeks. The researchers found that the patients in the group with the almonds, high fibre and soy substitutes had managed to reduce their bad LDL cholesterol by more than 30 per cent. Whereas the group that were on just the low fat diet saw very little change in their test results.

Remedies

1. Fiber. Eating a diet high in fiber has been proven by scientific research to lower your bad cholesterol. Eating foods such as whole grain cereals, oatmeal, fruits, vegetables and other healthy foods will help you improve your health and cholesterol levels significantly.

2. Garlic. Taking a simple capsule of garlic or even eating garlic on a daily basis has been shown in clinical trials that it may lower bad cholesterol levels, prevent blood clots and even eliminate plaque. It has even been proven to lower high blood pressure in people having, you guessed it, high blood pressure!

3. Natural substances. One of the best natural cholesterol remedies that I have found is a simple natural supplement that addresses the 6 key factors. Many products on the market today may only address 2-3 factors and discard the rest. These are not as effective as the cutting-edge products you can find by doing your research.
