How to reduce bad cholesterol?

[Coolkidsrock2]

Oats as proven by my mother. She took it for breakfast every morning - had been on medication for years after it shot to dangerous levels but had been off medicine for a while.


My levels improved after I took it but am sensitive to milk so it is a bit difficult to take it for breakfast and I stopped.

There's the red yeast rice capsules that's sold in Watson.

It lowers cholesterol quickly.
But it also lowers good cholesterol, I was told.
So this can't be taken long term.

The apple cider vinegar is good for lowering cholesterol.
There's plenty of other health benefits from what I have read.
Personally, I used it before to stop diarrheas, burps, phlegm etc.
Bought it from organic shops. GNC also carries this.

I also bought a bottle of extra virgin coconut oil from cold storage which is said to lower cholesterol, slim down the body and other health benefits. However, I have not Starr using it yet. Hope it can really cut down my weight.

Would you mind to share what is the healthy breakfast plan. Thank you

My mom has cholesterol & high BP issues for the 14 years but recently as I got to know of a healthy breakfast plan, by just changing her breakfast, her cholesterol and BP were normalised within 3 months time! She was so happy and excited! We are now waiting for the next check up to see if she can be off her medications! Yay, so watching and changing your diet, and if possible, exercising abit does wonders!

if it is not serious, try to change ur diet n lifestyle, take supplement n try TCM first. as they suggested, eat more steam or soupy food,cut down on junk food,fried food,rice/pasta.

for supplement,u can try red yeast rice, lecithin, COQ10.

Lecithin aids in emulsifying fats, enabling them to be dispersed in water

Exercise and control diet. If it is not very high, avoid taking meds as they do have side effects. For health supplement, omega 3 oils are good.

But seriously, the best results is with exercise. Start slow and easy, climb stairs, brisk walk 20mins daily. Diet wise, cut back on oily food and red meat as well as seafood.

Several have suggested oats for breakfast. I think it really works. Brought my Total C down by some 30 points after 3 months. I add raisins and nuts (walnut and almond) and fresh fruits. Quaker Quick Cook (blue) 3 spoons and Instant (Red) 1 spoon. Heard that rolled oats are better but don’t have the time to cook them.

Yesterday, I went see TCM for general health, he told me to take vegetarian diet if possible. Also, he said the cholesterol medicine has to be taken till the last breadth.


I have just started watching my diet (taken oats this morning) and had just cycled on the stationary bike.
