Lowering blood cholesterol by lifestyle changes

Category : Lifestyle

Q. I would like to ask you a question regarding lowering cholesterol. I am 39 years old. When I had my annual blood examination (c/o our office) my cholesterol was 220. My doctor told me to watch my diet. I brought it down to 204 in 5 weeks, but he still told me to take pravastatin. I do not feel comfortable doing this. I think I can lower my blood cholesterol some more by adopting lifestyle changes watching my diet some more and adding exercise to my routine and that I don’t need medications. Of course, I will talk to my doctor about this, but don’t you think this is the right step? Incidentally, I am not overweight.

With 40% of Americans expected to get some form of cancer, the threat is a disarming and harrowing one.

And according to a new report, American are swimming in a deadly, toxic stew of carcinogenic chemicals which threaten to drag ever more of us into cancer’s waiting jaws.

Who could have guessed that industrial chemicals and pesticides could do such serious damage to the human body?

While this news may not be a shocker to Green Chip Living readers, what you might find shocking is that this report didn’t come from an environmentalist organization, a natural health guru, or an organic farming committee… It came from one of the most mainstream medical coalitions in the country: the President’s Cancer Panel.

The report is called “Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now” and its content echoes the title…

“It’s okay,” she said, reaching for another.

Chalk up another win for the garbanzo bean.

Hungry and under-nourished children find learning difficult.  Their growth is stunted, their brains fail to develop properly and they suffer life-long health problems.  Under-nourished girls who become mothers as adults are more likely to suffer through difficult pregnancies and bear under-nourished children.  And thus the cycle continues for generations.
