Steps to Improving Your Cholesterol Levels

First, you need to start with a balanced diet. A diet high in soluble fiver, and leafy green fruits and vegetables is key. Adding freshly ground flax seeds, salmon or salmon oil capsules, and products like Benefiber might help. Soluble fiber gets in the blood stream and absorbs the HDL cholesterol. Insoluble fiber, such as psyllium husk, roughage, and high fiber foods absorbed fat and cholesterol in the intestines, stomach, and colon so that less is absorbed or reabsorbed by the body in the first place.

Second, you need to eat a good diet low in saturated fats and high in omega threes.  Also by switching out your fat sources from refined vegetable oils to uncooked and minimally processed extra virgin oils such as olive oil, grape seed oil, coconut oil, and nut oils can reduce the high density fat that your body absorbs. The more low density fat compared to high density fat going into the body, the better. Making sure that most of the fat in your diet comes from fresh foods such as avocadoes, raw nuts, and sources rich in omega 3 fatty acids goes a long way.

Thirdly, you also need to drink plenty of water and steer clear of dairy, high acid (citrus juices, soda pop) and caffeinated beverages which can prevent the fiber in your diet form absorbing excess cholesterol. Instead drink fresh squeezed lemon water, herbal tea, and coffee replacement drinks which can help keep more body balanced and hydrated.

Next, be sure to get plenty of exercise and sunshine. Both work in adding the body to convert cholesterol into less harmful substances and turn them into useful substances. To be truly healthy a person should try to get at least 30 minutes of unprotected sunshine every day, preferably during the late morning and early afternoon when you will still get the most benefits and do the least amount of sun damage. Don’t bother with sunscreen; you will just block the suns rays from doing their job. Exercise helps buy stimulating your cells to use fats, sugars, and cholesterol as fuel sources. The more burned by the cells, the less there is to go around in the body. So aim for 30 to 45 minutes per day at a minimum.

Finally, you need to take Hypercet Cholesterol Formula. This contains four powerful ingredients that work together to support and maintain the systems responsible for cholesterol production and regulation. The synergistic blend includes: Calcium, Magnesium, Beta 1, 3d glucans, and Chromium that help keep cholesterol within normal range.
