<p>We all know the effects of bad cholesterol in the body. Bad cholesterol accurately has to do with low-density lipoprotein&#8217;s molecular transport deposits that thicken in the walls of the arteries blocking the flawless way of blood disturbing the atherogenic status of the arterial walls.</p>
<p>&#13;Nevertheless, the body with high cholesterol brings cause to hypertensions and other cardiovascular disorders or lead to atherosclerosis, a disposition of fatty substances, and fibrosis of the inner arteries.</p>
<p>&#13;Good diet eating habits and regular work out are common in low high level of cholesterol. It is important to everybody to arrange their diet plan properly and eat healthy diet even if they have high cholesterol or normal one.</p>
<p>&#13;You should plan a whole week menu with cholesterol-free by adding more fresh vegetable recipes, and fiber fruits. It is much better if you could buy organic produced food or plant your own organic garden. Chemicals in foods enhance the raising in cholesterol level. Carbohydrates should be of high complex standards such as oatmeal, bran and brown rice.</p>
<p>&#13;Now many supermarkets provide a plenty of fresh organic vegetable so it is not difficult to by one for your meal. High fiber can reduce the LDL cholesterol because high fiber food contains very low cholesterol and some high fiber food is non cholesterol contain. Foods, that enhance low-density lipoprotein, can develop to be a total risk, and settle in the arteries during the process of the lipoprotein molecules travel to the blood stream.</p>
<p>&#13;Eggs contain high in cholesterol which can contribute to elevated blood cholesterol levels. If you have high LDL cholesterol, you should limit eating an egg on a given day to limit or avoid other sources of cholesterol for the rest of that day. If you like eggs but would not like the extra cholesterol, use egg whites. Egg whites contain no cholesterol.</p>
<p>&#13;Fish is a good source of protein and omega 3 fatty acids which perform to lower LDL cholesterol and raise HDL cholesterol. In particular, omega 3 fatty acids are noted for its triglyceride-lowering power. Eating at least 2 servings of fish a week is recommended, particularly fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon, sardines, trout and herring.</p>
<p>&#13;Nuts contain high in fiber, phytonutrients and antioxidants. These tasty snacks are also high in plant sterols and fat but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which have all been performed to lower the bad LDL cholesterol. Other benefits of nuts are their role in <a href="http://www.myhealingkitchen.com" target="_blank">heart disease</a> prevention. Limit your intake to ~ 1.5 ounces a day, as nuts are high in calories. You can eat nuts in replacement of foods that are high in saturated fats such as meat products.</p>
<p>&#13;Soy products are great substitutes for animal products. The health benefits of soy are to low risk of heart disease and can still lower bad LDL cholesterol by 3 percent. Since soy products contain high levels of polyunsaturated fats, fiber, vitamins, and minerals and low levels of saturated fat, AHA does consider soy products a healthy replacement for meats and other foods high in saturated fat and total fat.</p>
<p>&#13;Besides eating those low cholesterol diet, you also should regular check up of your cholesterol level, so as a protection against immediate boost of cholesterol level that might lead to unwanted feasible result of a fatal hypertension, or stroke due to unprecedented cholesterol rise.</p>

<p>In today&#8217;s society, cholesterol is considered a villain. Everyone &#8220;knows&#8221; that high cholesterol &#8220;causes&#8221; heart disease. TV ads warn us that &#8220;diet and exercise may not be enough,&#8221; and drugs are increasingly prescribed to reduce cholesterol levels.</p>
<p>&#13;You may think you know what the problem of cholesterol is all about, but before you jump on the anti-cholesterol bandwagon, consider these studies:</p>
<p>&#13;* A 3 year study on 11,500 patients showed that low cholesterol resulted in increased lung cancer, increase in other cancers, higher risk of cardiac death, erectile dysfunction and infertility, and a loss of memory and mental focus. (European Heart Journal 1997, 18, 52-59)</p>
<p>&#13;* A Swedish researcher discovered that individuals with low cholesterol suffer from frequent and severe infections, while individuals with high cholesterol had a lower mortality than the average population. (Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PhD, independent researcher Magle Stora Kyrkogata 9, S-223250 Lund, Sweden)</p>
<p>&#13;* A 30 years follow-up on one of the original studies linking cholesterol and heart disease showed no correlation between high cholesterol and mortality, but did show a correlation between low cholesterol and mortality.  Death rates from coronary heart disease increased 14% for every 1 mg/dl drop in total cholesterol per year</p>
<p>&#13;(Anderson KM. Cholesterol and Mortality, 30 years of Follow-up from the Framingham study. JAMA 1987 Apr 24;257(16):2176-80)</p>
<p>&#13;* A paper in the Journal of Cardiac Failure on an analysis of 1,134 patients with heart disease showed that low cholesterol was associated with worse outcomes in heart failure patients and impaired survival rates. It also showed that elevated cholesterol was not associated with hypertension, diabetes or coronary heart disease.</p>
<p>&#13;(Horwich TB. Et.al. Low Serum Total Cholesterol is Associated with Marked Increase in Mortality in Advanced Heart Failure. J Card. Fail. 2002 Aug;8(4):216-214)</p>
<p>&#13;High cholesterol is a &#8220;disease&#8221; that was created by the pharmaceutical industry in order to sell more cholesterol-lowering drugs, i.e., statins. These drugs have a high profit margin, so the lab ranges for cholesterol have been altered over the last 7-10 years so that more people will show up as having &#8220;high&#8221; cholesterol and be persuaded to take medications.</p>
<p>&#13;Normal (i.e., non-pathological) cholesterol ranges should be 175 to 275, with people with Blood Type O running at the higher end of this spectrum because of the way their body utilizes protein. Since, these are the pathological ranges, levels above or below these values mean the body is seriously imbalanced and probably diseased.</p>
<p>&#13;However, for optimal health, one should be in the middle third of this range. So healthy cholesterol should be between 208 and 242. Oddly enough people with these perfectly normal and healthy cholesterol ranges are being encouraged to take drugs to reduce their cholesterol to unhealthy low levels.</p>
<p>&#13;This is particularly bad considering that statins have a lot of potentially dangerous side effects. The common side effects of the statins include upset stomach, headache, fatigue, skin rash, memory loss, difficulty concentrating, erectile dysfunction, difficulty sleeping, nightmares and peripheral neuropathy. Another common side effect is liver damage.</p>
<p>&#13;Statins deplete CoQ10, an important co-enzyme for cardiac health. Since the real cause of heart disease is oxidative damage and inflammation, lowering CoQ10 can actually increase your risk of dying of heart disease.</p>
<p>&#13;A very serious side effect of statins is their tendency to cause inflammation of the muscles and create muscle damage. The inflammation makes the muscles painful. If the inflammation is severe enough, the cells in the inflamed muscle tissue may disintegrate (a process called rhabdomyolysis). They then release myoglobin, a protein present in very large amounts within the muscle cells, into the blood. The myoglobin reaches the kidneys, damages them and may even cause them to fail. In some cases, the kidneys may recover; however the damage to the kidneys from the myoglobin may be permanent and necessitate lifelong kidney dialysis.</p>
<p>&#13;So, before you take statin drugs to reduce your cholesterol, do a little research on the dangers of low cholesterol. There are other ways of protecting yourself from heart disease that are much more effective.</p>
