How to reduce ldl cholestrol level?

Lowering cholesterol: There are several things one can do to reduce an elevated LDL cholesterol level. One is to lose weight, if you are obese. Another is to reduce the intake of foods high in fats such as some cuts of beef. Ingesting less fat will also help you lose weight. Another way is by increasing your exercise regimen, which will also help you lose weight. About 15% of patients will not respond to these actions.

Statin drugs: Prescribed by your doc can do it. He/she will do blood work first. Alternatively, proper dose high quality marine fish oil will lower triglycerides and red yeast rice will lower LDL and your total cholesterol will go down. Your doc may know about this but a natural or integrative doc will certainly be familiar w/it.

Follow the following: Exercise most days of the week (aerobic work), eat fruits and vegetables liberally, limit saturated fats, increase fish and fish oil intake, have fiber with each meal, keep your weight in check, don't smoke at all or drink excessively (one or two drinks weekly). The lower the better on LDL and the higher the better on HDL. You have to eat, just keep it healthy and you'll be fine.
