natural ways to lower cholesterol???

[keco52]

I've heard that coriander seed and garlic are supposed to help...so I've been putting coriander on everything. Garlic...eh not so much :/ also flax seed oil.

Is it supposed to work bc I don't really notice a difference in my lipid/liver panel? I don't want to take pills...what are other natural ways to lower it besides eating right and exercise bc I already do that?

 

[dillaxx]

how about dont eat fatty foods?? that's almost surefire... unless it runs in your family...

 

[PuffnScruff]

You have to lose weight, fatty.

You might need to eat less meat. Why are you asking did a doctor tell you your levels were too high?

 

[The.Menace]

eat healthy. That's pretty much the only thing u can do I think.

of course you may want to consume less salt (sodium) in your diet. and i did hear that wine with the occassional meal can help lower cholesterol.

Lol...shut up

I've checked myself...and yes she told me as well. But she's quick to write a script for everything...and I'm not going to take pills.

I probably do eat a lot of salt...I know I do actually. I'll try to cut salt.

^YOu don't have to cut salt.

There is substitute you can buy. It's somewhat expensive though.

 

[keco52]

^It's not just salt itself...I eat a lot of foods with salt...but yea I've seen the no-salt stuff.

 

[THEV1LL4N]

try to have as much variety in your diet as you possibly can. i mean, how active are you? do you go to gym or play sports much, do a lot of walking etc?

 

[keco52]

I figured out what it is...I think. I was looking through my refrigerator and I never thought to look at hot sauce bc it has no calories...so I thought I could eat hot sauce forever and never get fat.
It has like 200mg in each teaspoon and I eat a lot more than a teaspoon. Also soy sauce has like half the daily value of sodium in one tablespoon. So I guess I can't have condiments anymore...and that sucks bc I eat hot sauce on EVERYTHING I just wanna die now.

 

[The.Menace]

You learned an important lesson: Just cause something is supposed 2 have no calories, it doesn't mean it's healthy!!! I hate all that low carb bs, I seriously do.

 

[keco52]

lol I'm not on a low carb diet or any diet for that matter but I do pay attention to calories and fat and now...sodium.

cant you make ur own hot sauce?
