How fast can cholesterol be lowered?
I have an LDL cholesterol of 232.Following a healthy diet and an exercise of 2 hours every day for 4 days a week,how much can i lower my ldl and how quickly?i am a male,23 years old and my weight is normal.also there are no other medical problems.
OMG Are you sure that’s your LDL and not your total cholesterol?? That’s extremely and dangerously high if that’s your LDLs.
When my cholesterol first shot up, i was determined that i would do whatever i could to cut it down, and as quickly as possible. I cut out red meat completely, i cut out starchy vegetables like potatoes, corn, hominy and stuff like that. I started eating tons of oatmeal and whole grain breads and making changes like not eating white rice, and switching to brown rice. Much healthier for you in the long run. Avoid white breads, things with white flour in them and eating more chicken and fish. But avoid almost everything that’s fried. Once in a while it’s ok to eat something fried, but you want it fried in olive oil, rather than corn or vegetable oil, because they are higher in the bad fats and lower in the good fats. Olive oil has the unsaturated fats and the mono and poly unsaturated fats that do your body good. When making something that requires oil, substitute for olive oil. They even have olive oil out now that has very little taste, so you don’t even notice the difference.
Besides eating lots of oatmeal and whole-grain foods, you can also remove the skin from your chicken and eat chicken either baked or roasted or cooked in a skillet with no oil, instead using a small amount of water and some white wine or cooking wine, along with herbs to season up the meat. Believe me, it’s a lot better for you, and it’s very tasty.
Eat a lot of raw vegetables or steamed vegetables. They have more nutrients that way and they will also help lower cholesterol. They now sell packets of vegetables that you can keep in your freezer and then microwave them when you’re ready to eat them and they are absolutely delicious. Make sure you read the labels, though, because some products are misleading.
Watch the kind of margarine that you use, some are better than others with their amounts of fats and cholesterol.
Just following those things and the exercise can lower your total cholesterol significantly in as little as 3-6 months. I know mine dropped drastically in 3 months just following some of those Diet tips, and i can’t even exercise because of a serious issue with my back.

The best kept secret on this subject are 2 products; one is called called OPC-3 …. and the other is called ORAC. Your doctor does not know about it.
OPC-3 and ORAC work together in a fantastic way. These things come from a company called MARKET AMERICA.
i swear …. this stuff IS THE BOMB !!! I have used it now for about 5 years. You can FEEL the results in 72 hours, provided you take a therapeutic dose.
go to Ebay and look it up ….. you will find that about $55 a bottle is an average price (large bottle) for each product. It is worth it, my friend. get this stuff immediately before you have a stroke or something … please !! I would use Ebay for the most immediate acquisition of these 2 items for now ….. meanwhile … you could try to locate a distributor in your area … or just become one yourself. for the moment … you need to get some OPC and ORAC right away …. at least in my opinion.
Please take note that I am not trying to sell you anything. I am simply trying to help solve your problem. OPC-3 and ORAC are the best kept secrets on this subject bar-none …
Here is how you use OPC / ORAC:
Each product I am talking about is a powder. You measure the powder by the cap full. You would put 4 caps of product in a tall glass. The clear cap you will see that comes with every bottle is also a measuring device so that you can add the correct amount of water … it works out to one ounce of water per single cap-full of powder (with either OPC or ORAC) You need to take an equal amount of each one.
The secret is to use VERY COLD water when mixing this stuff. I use some ice … this is cuz it will fiz-up when water is added to the powder …. but the fizzing effrect is minimized if you use ice cold water.
the obvious question: what the heck is OPC-3 anyway? It is high powered grape seed extract, as well as a few other key ingreediants. By the way …. I would not use an imitaion …… trust me.
OK …. sooooooo …. assuming you are really going to do this, how much to take?
On day 1, I would do 4 caps of each on an empty stomach in the morning …. and hour later I would do the same dose again. Then eat breakfast ……. then … at night … I would do 4 caps of each on an empty stomach …. twice in 2 hours. In other words …. you would be taking a total of 8 caps in the AM …. and 8 caps in the PM. I would do this for 3 days. Please note .. you absolutely must take this on an empty stomach … ok?
OK … so then …. then I would do 4 caps of each product every day for 30 days …… actually … I would take it forever for insurance against fatal consequences of high cholesterol …. !!! It is up to you, of course …..
when you take enough of these 2 products ….. your "elimination" changes. It does not make you go to the rest-room … but it makes it easier. Why ???? Because you are emulsifing the cholesteral in your system to the point that it can now be eliminated from your body. That being the case … it (the cholesterol) has to go somewhere …. right????? Yup …. !! THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE EVIDENCE IT IS WORKING …. and no one can fake it …. right? YOU will KNOW it is working …. because you will SEE IT WORKING …… I promise !
Look ….. if I knew you personally … and you told me of your situation ….. i would put $500 on your table right now and bet you that what I am telling you is the truth and that this WILL happen just like I am saying it will … provided you follow my instructions here. That is how confident I am about this stuff …… OPC and ORAC has literally saved my life.
Like I say …. you WILL see results with-in 72 hours … IF … you take the dosages I am suggesting …..
I hope you try this …. it is the definitive answer to any cholesterol situation. Period.
