Hello,
I understand your concern and would explain that some natural ways to reduce cholesterol levels without the need for statins would be:
- reduce fat and sugar intake (Mediterranean diet is recommended, food rich in omega 3 fatty acids like walnuts, fish, fish oil, etc.)
- try to lose some pounds if you are overweight.
- practice aerobics and regular physical activity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
