Why Not Lower Your Cholesterol Naturally? Forget The Pills!
Have you been to your doctor and he or she has said, “Your cholesterol is too high. We’re going to start you on medication”?
Wait a minute hold the phone! After hearing God only knows how many spoken-high-speed disclaimers (which often times are unintelligible) on TV – those that occur after medication ads – now, do you really want to start on those pills?
What if you replied to your doctor, “Can I lower cholesterol naturally – without medication?”
I would believe that most doctors would try to work with you and give you a suggested diet and exercise plan for lowering cholesterol naturally.
Lately when I go and pick up medication for my father-in-law, it comes with several pages of fine print – all the known problems that this medication might cause. In effect a huge disclaimer. Do you really want to start popping similar pharmaceuticals daily?
Today on TV there are advertisements that make your mouth water. You see chicken, hamburgers, pizzas – the list goes on and on. The advertisers know exactly how to grab your undivided attention, tantalize you, entice you into running down to that restaurant and buying that food dish – right now! Even though that food might be exactly what your doctor does not want you to have. Because it will definitely raise your cholesterol and is as far away from a natural food as one can get. I’m sure it tastes incredibly well and will leave you wanting more. Nevertheless, it is a manufactured food with food additives and cooked in a way that leaves your mouth watering every time you see the same dish on TV.
Advertisers do their job well. Sometimes I think they work hand and hand with the pharmaceuticals. They raise the cholesterol with these delectable foods and the phramas bring it down at a good price – medications are not cheap.
Anymore I am quite immune to the food commercials. This is because I know these foods do taste like something out of this world, but at the same time they come at a price – I feel crappy for two days after I eat them.
I like eating fresh carrots and peas, and corn and broccoli and grilled steak or salmon. Fresh fruits and vegetables do not cause me any problems in digestion. I’m not overweight. I exercise everyday, and I eat natural foods. I’m not on medication and I feel great – why mess with that?
A good article that I found today. Thanks for your post.
