Hubby's bad cholesterol, help!

Dear SandyTM,
Buy golden flaxseed and grind it at home. It is better. The already ground up one had the flax oil removed. It is not that expensive... about $3 -$4 per/lb. You can grind it in the coffee grinder. I add it to just about everything I cook.
I have also tried consuming thermogenic foods, these are foods that burn calories. Cabbage, celery, cauliflower, brocolli are some of them. I cut up floretts of cauliflower, brocolli and add to diced/sliced celery, cabbage, red/yellow bell peppers, carrots and cook everything together, kind of like stirfry with just a few drops of extra virgin olive oil. Eat it over a couple spoons of brown rice. More veggies and less rice..

 

Hi oopall.. thanks for the tip..

 

Dear Ils,
For cholesterol problem stay away from white food(white floor,more sugar,refined floor).Insert whole wheat product in your daily life.Limit your oil intake also & it'sbetter to take olive oil.Oats are very good for cholesterol.When cook ur chapati cook from whole wheat floor.U can make khichadi with combination of green moog dal & wheat daliya.Daliya breakfast also good.When u crave for sugar make sweet daliya but use jeggery do not use sugar,but take it it once a while.One important thing u must have to do Ramdev 7 sets of pranayam in early morning .If u don't have time do it after 4 to 5 hrs of your lunch.Never take your dinner too heavy.Take it very light & 2 hrs before sleeping. I hope this help u.

 

Hi ASG,

This reply is probably 2 months late or so but just thought I'll share it with you. Drinking a cup of cinnamon with honey does help to reduce bad cholestrol. My uncle who has plenty of LDL and also a gut and since he's been drinking this concoction, the guts' gone and the LDL has significantly reduced. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and honey in hot water every morning and night ought to do the trick.

 

Garlic ! !....thats the one for a quick remedy. My husbands cholesterol level was so high that he had already showing symptoms of breathlessness and tiredness which could have led to heart attack soon. After forcing him to go to doctors and a checkup it was found out his cholesterol was dangerously high. He was on medication, but the best source was raw garlic everyday...just 2/3 pods of raw garlic help the cholesterol melt. a month of eating raw garlic dedicatedly and walking for an hour brought his cholesterol level reduced to near normal. He still takes garlic 3 to 4 days a week and beleive me his cholesterol is not of any concern anymore, well within the normal range.
