Suggest Remedy For Cholesterol Problem
My 30 year old brother had a cholesterol check and came back at 7.9, he was told to go on a low cholesterol diet. He exercises often and is not over weight. I am 35 & decided to get mine checked, it came back at 5.6 & I too was told to go on a low cholesterol diet, I am about 1 stone over weight but regularly exercise (ran a marathon 2 months ago!) My other brother, 33 years old, had his checked and was even higher than my other brother. He is very slim & exercises regularly. His doctor told him not to worry about it and carry on as he is! His diet is a lot poorer than mine, i cook everything from scratch etc. What are your thoughts on this?

use three different oils each in alteration with other every month for 3 months
take tablet atorvastatin 5mg once daily at bed time for three month(it prevent formation of cholestrol in body)
increae fibres and raw vegetables in your diet
get your lipid profile checked after 3 months of followeing this and you would be fine
