Our liver naturally produces the cholesterol our bodies need to build new cells, produce hormones and insulate nerves. Cholesterol also enters the body through consuming cholesterol-rich foods such as eggs, caviar, liver, butter, shrimp, fast foods, processed meats, cheese, shellfish etc.

A balanced cholesterol level is essential for good health; whereas a high cholesterol level can be a dangerous risk factor contributing to heart disease.

Medication is one way to deal with high cholesterol levels, but there are also many natural alternatives:

  • reduce the consumption of high cholesterol foods
  • consume foods that naturally decrease cholesterol levels such as salmon, oatmeal and nuts
  • regular exercise regime that gets your heart rate pumping
  • supplements such as Niacin, soluble fibre and artichoke leaf

If you have concerns about your cholesterol level, consult your doctor.

We encourage you to take good care of your health and your heart; an active, healthy lifestyle is key.
