Cholesterol

It is important to keep your diet low in fatty food, especially food containing saturated fat, and eat lots of fruit, vegetables and wholegrain cereals. This will also help to prevent high cholesterol from returning. Diet, along with proper nutritional supplementation, regular exercise, and conscious healthy lifestyle choices, including low stress and stress management, no smoking of any kind and little to moderate amounts of alcohol, are important self-care choices you can make to ensure a healthy heart. Unfortunately, poor diet is one of the most common health problems in the United States. To protect yourself against heart disease, you need to eliminate your intake of:

• All unhealthy fats, especially trans-fatty acids
• Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats and oils.
• Avoid foods that contain margarine, vegetable shortening, and lard
• Avoid all fried and commercially processed foods, which are typically high in unhealthy fat content
• Avoid all foods that are irradiated and/or that contain additives and preservatives.
• Avoid  foods grown with the use of pesticides, herbicides, steroids, and antibiotics
• Avoid foods that contain powdered eggs or powdered milk.
• Eliminate all refined sugars and simple carbohydrates, which not only reduce immune function, and therefore your body’s ability to fight off infections linked to heart disease, but can also dramatically increase levels of C-reactive protein, homocysteine, blood glucose, insulin, and triglycerides, all of which are markers for heart disease
• Eliminate all refined salt which will dramatically reduce your overall sodium intake; instead use Himalayan mountain, Krystal sea salt or other unrefined salt
• Minimize your intake of red meat, milk, and dairy products
• Limit caffeine (no more than two cups of coffee per day)
• Limit your alcohol intake to no more than one glass of red wine per day, preferably with a meal.

Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and organic, free-range poultry and wild-caught, cold water fish, such as halibut, mackerel, orange roughy, and salmon (avoid farm raised salmon). Beans and legumes are also advisable due to their high fiber content. Also be sure to use healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and fish oils for the essential fatty acids they contain. Choosing organic, rather than conventionally produced foods gives you a definite advantage.

Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, because tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can contribute to and worsen heart disease.

Research has shown that one of the best dietary approaches to a healthy heart is the Mediterranean diet, which is high in plant foods eaten with garlic, onions, extra virgin olive oil, and moderate amounts of whole grains, fish, and poultry, along with an occasional glass of red wine at meal time. The near-vegetarian “reversal diet” developed by noted health author and researcher Dean Ornish, M.D., has also been clinically proven to help improve overall heart health. It emphasizes meals composed primarily of fresh vegetables and whole grains, and eliminates nearly all cholesterol-containing foods, animal fats, and oils. Dr. Ornish recommends that, for best results, his patients also commit to an exercise program and stress reduction techniques, such as meditation.

Supplements:

• Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day https:/// for a period of up to 4 weeks. Vitamin D has been shown to be a key factor in maintaining health cholesterol levels in the blood as high cholesterol can be the result of inadequate exposure to the sun.
• Beta Carotene – Research done at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland found it could lower heart disease by up to 50 per cent.
• Niacin – Vitamin B3 – known to lower cholesterol levels
• Vitamin B6 – helpful in preventing strokes and heart attacks, prevents oxidization of cholesterol
• VitaminB12 – associated with lowering homocysteine (a non-protein amino acid) levels. Homocysteine is one of the major contributing factors in heart disease.
• Folic Acid –  essential for proper metabolism of homocysteine
• Vitamin C – prevents formation of oxysterols
• Coenzyme 10 – strengthens heart muscles
• Proanthocyanidin (PCA) – antioxidant derived from pine bark (or grape seeds) which enhances heart health
• Wholefood supplements are the best way of ensuring your nutritional needs are met.
