My health food store hands out a good magazine and it had some good tips for heart health, thought I'd share them.
Niacin: raises HDL while lowering LDL
Red yeast rice: lowers LDL and Triglycerides
Plant sterols: Plants like animals produce their own sterols and when ingested
interfere with cholesterol absorption.
Resveratrol: Red wine lowers LDL and total Cholesterol
Natural Vit. E: stops LDL oxidation
Guggul: Century old medicine reduces LDL and prevents oxidation and clots
Green tea Extract: reduces LDL and apoB the primary protein in LDL
Exercises: raises HDL
They had some interesting fact also, experts say that if you reduce your weight by 2.2 lbs. you can raise your HDL by .35 mg/dl.
We want to raise our HDL because it carries away the LDL and also acts as an antioxidant and like aspirin it helps prevent blood clots.
One other thing I found interesting, Glucosamine used for osteoarthritis is being researched as a supplement for people with M S because it improves their mobility. :wave:

Like everything, they find new things with each study. Hopefully the Glucosamine does help MS, that would be a great breakthru. I'm also hoping the green tea really does help, as I'm almost addicted to the stuff...... ;) Oh well, I guess there are worse things to be addicted to huh?
Thanx for the input...... :wave:
