“How can I naturally lower cholesterol?”

It is great if one can do non-medical intervention to reduce your cholesterol. Unfortunately the number of interventions that you can do are somewhat limited in terms of the impact on cholesterol. It would start with eating a very healthy diet. As I tell my patients the closer you are to eating like a rabbit the better your cholesterol will be. Avoiding carbohydrates and saturated fats will help to reduce cholesterol. Very active exercise and in particular strenuous weightlifting or strenuous aerobics can also help to lower the bad cholesterol and raise the good cholesterol. Obtaining an ideal weight is also part of this formula. If those maneuvers are not adequate the statins are extremely safe and very effective at lowering cholesterol and they should be considered if you are not achieving target cholesterol lowering with these diet and lifestyle manipulations .
