Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally

I have not made it a habit of bad mouthing medications, but sometimes it gets to be too much. On the Orlando Sentinel blog I found an article: ‘Low Cholesterol Linked to Cancer Risk’ http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/features_healthblog/2007/07/low-cholesetrol.html .

The reporter quotes lines from Reuters: ‘ Lowering cholesterol as much as possible may reduce the risk of heart disease, but with a price: taking it too low could raise the risk of cancer, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.

Patients who took statin drugs to lower their cholesterol had a slightly higher risk of cancer, although the study did not show that the statin drugs themselves caused the cancer.’

Statin drugs are used by many to lower their blood cholesterol levels. And I’m sure that is all beneficial to them, but what peeves me is that doctors are treating the symptoms and not curing the disease.

Is it possible that taking statins could cause cancer? We still don’t know. But one thing I can state for sure is that eating natural foods will not cause cancer.

On this blog I try to show how eating natural foods can lower your cholesterol. Admittedly, this approach may have limited effectiveness on people who have abused their cardiovascular system to a point where their cholesterol levels are astronomical. At that point their only option might be a physician and prescribed medication(s). But after surviving that many can get ‘heart healthy’ by following a natural foods diet and exercising. For example: many ex heart attack patients have run marathons.

For most of us eating natural foods will prevent our arteries from accumulating plaque and promote a healthy metabolism. Couple this with regular exercise and you have a healthy prescription for your heart and you can forget about taking a prescribed medication that might cause cancer.
