When I ask around for cholesterol reducing diet, well meaning friends always point me to oat, soymilk and black fungus (need not be eaten together). My uncle who studies TCM also recommends oat and black fungus.


I myself have elevated bad cholesterol and have been adjusting my diet since then. Doctor says no point checking cholesterol level too regularly as the reading wont fluctuate very much. 2x a year is probably enough.

I gathered good info from this link
http://theconsciouslife.com/how-i-lower-cholesterol-without-drugs.htm

Also, as ks parents, we need to mind our stress level. Stress contributes to bad cholesterol. Recent newspaper article says to reduce bad lipids, we need to look into -

1. diet
2. exercise
3. stress management (new to me)

My friend's hubby who is a vegetarian and exercise buff has v high cholesterol. He is very stressssed up with work and kids' exam. Yoga and meditation can help i think. But I do the kiddo version - deep breathing.

Wish you well

Hi all,


I’m a stay home mum with 2 teenagers, Sec 1 and Sec 3.

Like all SAHM, I am a free maid, tutor and driver for my family.

Time flies, just when I thought it was yesterday that my ds has completed his PSLE, now I am stressing over his O level next year.

This is what mum is NOT paid to do – stressed !
