Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally

I was disturbed this morning by an article I read. In Chicago an influential doctors group is recommending that some children as young as 8 be given cholesterol-fighting drugs to ward off future heart problems.

Can you imagine children being given medication for cholesterol? My first thought was the pharmaceuticals are gaining new ground. But then when we see the rising rate of obesity (and diabetes) in children – it’s no wonder children need this help.

This is recognition that heart disease begins early in life. It starts when children start eating junk food and fast food. And they don’t exercise. Video games, electrified motor scooters, etc cause the kids be physically inactive. After only a few years they are ready to start heart medication.

We have to get the children up off the couch and out riding bikes and playing running games. And start feeding them natural foods, ones their bodys need to be heart healthy.

I always remember the quote From a Tale of Two Cities, ‘These are the best of all times and the worse of all times… Well, we live in incredible times, but the bad part of it is processed foods. They are made to taste incredibly good, but they can be incredibly bad for us.
