How to Reduce Cholesterol Naturally with Zerochol Cardio+
High cholesterol levels are just one of the risk factors for strokes and heart attacks. Thankfully, in many cases, you can reduce cholesterol levels with dietary and lifestyle changes and the addition of one or two supplements. This approach has worked for me in the past, but I have to keep working at it because it is so easy to fall back into bad habits. And I have done that again, but the recent campaign run by the Irish Heart Foundation, Her Health Matters, was just the trigger for me to start again.
So I am back on the Zerochol Cardio+. I had started this earlier in the year and for various reasons I didn’t continue with my cholesterol-lowering plan. I have had fantastic feedback about this product since I spoke to you about it last, and I am even more encouraged to try it properly this time.
How Does Zerochol Cardio+ Help to Lower Cholesterol?
Zerochol Cardio+ is a natural and powerful supplement with 1500mg of plant sterols, 2.83mg of red yeast rice extract, 15mg of CoQ10, and vitamin B1. It has been clinically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and maintain healthy heart function. The supplement's effectiveness is due to the combined action of plant sterols and monacolin K, both of which have EFSA-approved health claims for reducing LDL cholesterol. Zerochol® Cardio+ is an easy and convenient way to keep your cholesterol levels in check. You only need two tablets per day with your evening meal. It’s suitable from age 18-70 years. If you are on statin medications, consider using the original Zerochol Plant Sterols instead.
How Omega 3 May Help Improve Heart Health and Cholesterol
In addition to Zerochol, increasing your levels of Omega-3 may help improve heart health as they have been shown to reduce triglycerides. These are a major risk factor for heart disease. Omega-3 may help lower cholesterol, and high blood pressure too. Increase foods high in omega-3, especially oily fish, or take an Omega-3 supplement like Eskimo Omega 3 Fish Oil.
Omega 3 options for vegetarians and vegans can be found in supplements such as Udo’s Choice Ultimate Oil Blend or OptiYou Vegan DHA.
What to Eat for a Heart-Healthy Diet?
For optimal cholesterol control focus on foods like; oats, oat bran, porridge, good quality wholemeal brown bread, apples, chia seeds, flax seeds, lecithin granules, garlic, oily fish, nuts, cider vinegar, avocado, fresh beetroot or beetroot juice, artichoke, red grape juice, and hawthorn tea. I have found a new tea called NutraTea, Nutra Lipid. This contains green tea, cinnamon, artichoke leaf, red yeast extract, garlic, and hawthorn berries. A nice mixture of ingredients to support a normal cholesterol balance. It’s pleasant tasting, I try to drink two cups per day.
How to Reduce Cholesterol Without Medication?
Reduce alcohol, processed foods, saturated fat, sugar, and smoking. It is easy to say reduce stress, but it is important that you find ways to deal with it, try to incorporate stress-reducing practices such as meditation, relaxation, or gentle exercise. Stress has a negative impact on your cardiovascular health. Exercise may help to improve your mood, reduce your stress level, and may help to improve HDL, your good cholesterol.
These are just some of the tips and supplements to help you keep your cholesterol levels at a healthy heart number.
