Prevention is sometimes the better cure. Staying away from processed food, food with a lot of sugar, eating green veggies, eating fruits instead of candy, keeping the weight down, exercise. This stuff can go a long way to keeping one healthy. However, genetics also play a big role. When they first discovered colestrol, in 1970 the average American had a count of about 300. The studies found out that those below 200 had far fewer heart attacks and strokes. Non-smokers had far less cancer, heart attacks, and strokes.
Most health supplements were standardised in Germany, China, or Japan. They do work. Gensing, green tea, garlic, saw pelmetto, cinimon, are among things that work in certain areas. Garlic lowered my colestrol. Saw pelmetto helps my prostrate better than Avodart with no side effects. Gensing helps give a little more energy along with a lot of B vitamins. Eating wild meat is better than domesticated. Growing your own veggies is better than store bought. Lots of things are better and healthier.
Sourdough, have you quit taking the colestrol medicine? Sometimes it takes a while to get out of your system.
