Are you like so many thousands of Stuart real estate owners suffering from high cholesterol? There is a chance that your arteries are growing more clogged on a daily basis. In fact, you should be getting checked frequently for the lethal menace. You certainly do not want any form of heart disease.
Fortunately, there are a variety of easy techniques that you can now rely on to lower your bad low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Remember, you always want it under 100. While prescription medications can often lower high cholesterol levels, making a few changes to your daily routine can often do the trick in a matter of weeks.
To start, eating smart can lower your LDL cholesterol. Avoid foods that contain high amounts of cholesterol, like eggs. Do not try to cut off all cholesterol from your diet. Your body will just produce more to make up the difference in places like the liver and the intestines. In fact, your body already produces over 1,500 mg on a daily basis. Most folks eat around 500 mg of cholesterol a day. In other words, do not fool yourself into thinking that you can make yourself have no cholesterol whatsoever. Rather, just focus on lowering your bad LDL cholesterol.
Eliminate saturated fats from your daily diet. Eggs have a bad reputation for raising cholesterol levels. However, they are not unhealthy in moderation, especially if you stick to eating egg whites. It is loads of fat in the butter that eggs are often cooked in that can do your body harm. You should eat wisely. Pass up butter and vegetable oil for canola oil or olive oil. Also, choose fish over red meat.
Fish and fish oil supplements fight off bad LDL cholesterol. They contain omega-3 fatty acids that are known to be completely fabulous for your body. Salmon and tuna are excellent choices a few nights a week. Soybeans, flaxseeds, and walnuts are good for you too, but nowhere near as beneficial as fish. Walnuts also contain plenty of calories, so watch how much you eat.
Speaking of limiting your diet, consuming alcohol in a home for sale in Stuart can be great for lowering cholesterol if drank in moderation. Drinking alcohol tends to raise your good HDL cholesterol a sizeable amount. Experts recommend that ladies drink one glass a day. Men are advised to drink either one or two glasses of alcohol on a daily basis. However, be careful not to ever become dependent on your drink. Becoming an alcoholic can be more fatal than high cholesterol.
When hanging out in a Stuart luxury home, enjoy a healthy drink. Rather than beer, wine, or even a sugary soda, drinking green tea is an ideal choice for men and women. Multiple studies in both humans and animals show that green tea actually assists with the reduction of bad LDL cholesterol levels in both men and women. Some doctors in South America even concluded that green tea supplements could make an enormous reduction in dangerous LDL levels.
