, don't worry: in this article I'll show you 3 easy ways to rebalance good and

Before we start, there's one
thing I need to clarify: Why cholesterol levels are so
important for health? cholesterol high and high triglycerides is linked to an
increased risk of heart attack or heart disease , The worst part is that it is killing
more than 610,000 people every year only in the USA. The Journal of the
American Medical Association (JAMA) published a shocking study conducted
for 5 years on 9000 patients who had previously suffered from heart attacks.
The results didn't left any doubt on the importance of lowering LDL (low-density lipoproteins) or
bad cholesterol levels if you wanted to stay alive: patients who lowered their LDL(low-density lipoproteins)
levels to 81 or less were significantly less at risk for heart attacks and
strokes compared to those with LDL levels between 104 and 81.
So, how high is your LDL cholesterol? Why is cholesterol a concern for so many people? Human body is usually able to keep good and bad cholesterol in balance. The problem is our lifestyle and diet: standard western diet is too rich in refined carbohydrates and hydrogenated fats for the body to maintain his equilibrium. The result is elevated LDL or bad cholesterol and low HDL or good cholesterol. It is even worse if you are a kidney patient: people suffering from chronic kidney disease are statistically more at risk for heart disease. If two risks factors are present at the same time the situation needs to be taken very seriously. When too much cholesterol builds up in your blood vessels, the result can be a blockage that can prevent blood from getting to a certain area of your body. A blockage in your hearth vessels can cause a heart attack. A blockage in the renal arteries can cause a loss of kidney function. A blockage in the vessels that conduct to an area of the brain can cause an ischemic stroke. Not all the symptoms are immediately noticeable: sometimes high cholesterol can lead to mini-strokes, that go unnoticed and cause memory and thinking problems that the patient doesn't even know to have.
This is why I always suggest to regularly get checked for cholesterol levels if you have any pre-existent condition or risk factor. How high is your bad cholesterol? Should you taking steps to reduce/lower it? The good news is that you can actively fight back high cholesterol levels if you follow these guidelines: you will just have to make some simple changes. So, are you ready to say goodbye to high cholesterol levels?

Should you taking steps to reduce/lower it? The good news is that you can actively fight back high cholesterol levels if you follow these guidelines: you will just have to make some simple changes. So, are you ready to say goodbye to high cholesterol levels?
Here are the 3 easy and very
powerful steps you should take to blast away the atherosclerosis and say
goodbye for good to high cholesterol levels.
Step 1: Remove all junk foods and processed foods from your diet.
Trans fats are the very first
thing to remove: allowed quantity in your diet is zero. Trans fats are
artificially altered fats created in an industrial process. They are widely
used in baked goods, fried foods, snacks, margarine, shortening and many other
processed foods. To avoid trans fats, always check the ingredient list. Trans
fat can be labelled as partially hydrogenated oils. –
Salt: excess of sodium is
not just bad for your overall health and cholesterol levels, but is also very
dangerous for the health of your kidneys. Most processed foods contain an
unhealthy amount of salt and should be avoided. Try not to get more than 2
grams of sodium per day. –
Sugar: this is maybe the
worst offender. It can cause weight gain, diabetes, heart disease and high
cholesterol. All these conditions are considered risk factors for kidney
disease. Sodas and sweetened beverages are full of it. Ice cream, candy,
cookies and cakes should be totally avoided too. Sugar is also present in a
quantity on foods you wouldn't suspect, like spaghetti sauce, ketchup, tonic
water and breakfast bars. Always read the labels to know how much sugar you are
ingesting.
Step 2: Super foods to lower cholesterol
There are certain foods that have
been shown to lower bad cholesterol levels while improving
good cholesterol levels. They are: -Fatty fish. Rich in
Omega-3s, fatty fish should be eaten instead of meat 2 or 3 times a week.
Omega-3 fats can lower triglycerides in the bloodstream and lower LDL
cholesterol. Fish oil is also recommended and should be used by all kidney
patients even if they don't suffer from high cholesterol.
-Vegetables and fruit: vegetables and fruit are the most important source of
soluble fibers and antioxidant, both really useful to lower cholesterol levels
naturally. They are also very low in saturated fats, and this helps creating a
balanced diet and keeping a low intake of saturated fats. Red bell peppers,
cabbage, cauliflower, apples and berries should always be a part of your diet
plan. -Soy foods: recent studies shown that even a very small quantity of soy
protein per day, as little as 15g, may lower cholesterol levels up to 6%. Soy
milk, soy meat alternatives, tofu and edamame beans are a good source of soy
proteins. Just be careful if you are a kidney patient because soy foods are
rich in potassium and phosphorus. -Barley and oats: these super foods are
naturally rich in beta glucan, a soluble fiber capable of binding cholesterol
in the intestines and preventing its absorption. Eat two portions of oats or
barley based meals per day.
Step 3: Lifestyle choices
There are some changes that need
to be done in your lifestyle if you want to lower your cholesterol levels.
-First you will need to do some physical activity. A lot of people are
terrified by the possibility of starting a class or joining a gym. Some are even
questioning the correlation between physical activity and cholesterol levels.
Still, countless studies have been done on the subject and the benefits of
exercising on cholesterol levels couldn't be more certain. Even a moderate
daily physical activity, like 30 minutes a day, has been proven to raise good
cholesterol levels. If even 30 minutes a day seems too much, consider that even
taking the stairs instead of the elevator or walking to nearby places instead
of driving can help. Exercising is particularly important for kidney patients
since it lowers the risk of diabetes, improves cardiovascular function and
lowers blood pressure.
It is never too late to start. If you are already set to
follow step 1 and 2 and 3, there's one thing that is going to happen to your
body, that you will surely notice: you're going lose weight fast. This is not
just really good for your overall health, you will be able to lower cholesterol
levels significantly by losing 5% to 10% of your body weight, according to
recent studies. What I always say is that it is really important to start
somewhere no matter what your actual conditions are - and start improving from
there. When you make a change for the better, and you are able to maintain your
new lifestyle, improvements in your health will be faster and better than you
can hope. You will still need to take the medication your doctor has prescribed
you, even if you are following this plan. Your doctor will decide when and in
what quantity you will have to lower the medications. But if you keep your new
good habits there are great chances you will be able to lower the dose and
reduce the side effects. This is all for today. Stay healthy …..
