Natural Way to Lower Cholesterol - High Cholesterol Message Board

AnimalAdvocate · 12-13-2007, 03:44 PM

Hi! I'm new here but wanted to share a natural, healthy way for most people to lower their cholesterol. Unfortunately, many doctors don't tell their patients that only animal products contain cholesterol. So a vegan diet works great! And it's less expensive and much less dangerous (in fact, it's very healthy) than medications.

I had my cholesterol tested last week. Here are my results:

2005 -- 28-year-old meat-eater -- total cholesterol 162
2006 -- 29-year-old meat-eater -- total cholesterol 177
2007 -- 30-year-old, vegetarian for 1 year, vegan for 3 months -- total cholesterol 139

I find that amazing! And it's such a mental boost!

I just wanted to pass this along to in case anyone wants an option to taking prescription medications.

Here's to your health!

Thanks,
Tracy

Hi AnimalAdvocate and welcome.

Thanks for the input, however, having cholesterol ratios and/or levels too low have proven to onset heart problems in the older generation more than having raised levels.
