Lower your cholesterol naturally with these nutrients
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), one in three Americans suffers from high blood cholesterol, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke.
Eating plenty of fatty foods and red meat is the usual cause of high cholesterol. However, this health condition does not present symptoms. For this reason, stroke or heart attack often seems sudden when either occurs.
Fortunately, you can easily reverse high cholesterol and minimize your CVD risk by increasing your consumption of certain dietary nutrients. Here are six nutrients that are known to help lower cholesterol levels: (Related: How naturopathy helps with controlling cholesterol.)
Niacin
Niacin, or vitamin B3, helps raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. HDL, commonly referred to as the “good” cholesterol, helps remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from the bloodstream. LDL, or “bad” cholesterol, can form plaques along the walls of the arteries and clog them, raising the risk CVD and stroke.
Red yeast rice contains monacolin K, a plant compound said to be identical to the active component of the cholesterol-lowering drug, lovastatin. Red yeast rice can be taken as a supplement to help reduce blood cholesterol levels and improve heart health.
Phytosterols
Phytosterols, or plant sterols, are compounds found in the cell membranes of plants. They have a similar structure to human cholesterol and can help reduce LDL and overall cholesterol levels when ingested. These plant-based foods provide high amounts of phytosterols:
Nuts
Flaxseeds
Broccoli
Red onion
Carrot
Brussels sprouts
Spinach
Berries
Banana
Lettuce
Soluble fiber
During digestion, soluble fiber from the foods you eat dissolves in water and is broken down into a gel-like substance in the colon. This gel-like substance slows digestion and traps LDL cholesterol, preventing it from entering the bloodstream and traveling to various parts of the body.
According to recent studies, consuming five to 10 grams of soluble fiber every day can reduce cholesterol by five percent.
CoQ10 is a nutrient naturally produced by the body and used for the production of cellular energy. It is hailed for its antioxidant properties and its ability to significantly reduce cholesterol levels.
Some studies suggest that taking CoQ10 supplements can help reduce the adverse side effects of statins, a class of lipid-lowering drugs. Such side effects include weakness, muscle aches and joint pains.

Heavy metal poisoning
Heavy metal poisoning is much more common than most people realize, and if you’re thinking that it doesn’t apply to you because you haven’t been exposed to any, think again. If you’ve eaten fish regularly, had amalgam fillings, received vaccinations, drank contaminated water, or done industrial or agricultural work or pharmaceutical manufacturing, there’s a good chance that you have a fair amount of toxic metals in your system..
We are here to help and to educate!
