CHOLESTEROL
Everybody knows that too much cholesterol in your blood is bad for you, but what exactly is cholesterol? Cholesterol is a body fat which, together with triglyceride, is an important component of cells and essential in the synthesis of hormones by the body. Without cholesterol, the body would not be viable, but the presence of too much cholesterol in the blood can lead to hardening and narrowing of the arteries. When this occurs in the brain, it can lead to strokes and also restricts the flow of blood to and from the heart.
There are basically two types of cholesterol: high density and low density. The high density, called high density lipoprotein (HDL) is good, and the low density lipoprotein (LDL) is bad. Although HDL is useful to the body and the liver, the LDL can cause atherosclerosis which causes problems with the heart.
The amount of cholesterol in the blood is measured by taking a blood sample then analyzing the amount of cholesterol present. The average of the two types in the average person is 5.7 mmol/l (millimoles per litre). Ideally, the level should be below 5, whereas from 5 to 6.4 is mildly high, from 6.5 to 7.8 is moderately high and above 7.8 is very high. However, the ratio of HDL to LDL is obviously also significant, and it is possible to have a high total cholesterol level without any detectable adverse effect on the body. It is when there is too much LDL that the problems begin.
Although high cholesterol can be inherited, it is also affected by the diet, and blood samples for the measurement of cholesterol levels are taken after a 12 hour fast, during which only water can be consumed. The measurement is invalid under any other circumstances. The blood is then analyzed for the total amount of cholesterol present and the relative amounts of the two types.
It is possible to reduce the level of cholesterol in the body through diet. There is an eBook giving details on how to lower your cholesterol in 30 days. This is available on Amazon and from other sources for between $8.99 and around $17. I cannot give it away free: I am not legally allowed to, but I can offer a download to you for $5. The hints, tips and information are absolutely invaluable in enabling you to lower your cholesterol, and it works. I have used it very successfully, and I certainly could not have reduced my cholesterol levels myself. I try not to be too commercial in my newsletters/minisites and tend to give stuff away more than sell them, but I highly recommend this book.
Don't think that drinking yoghurt drinks containing plant esters will work, because it won't. They help reduce cholesterol temporarily because I use them, but what is needed is a change to your outlook, and this is what the book does. It makes you think differently and it can save your life if your cholesterol is currently too high. I am convinced it can add years. $5 is not much and it has a full guarantee for 6 months. Try it and if you cholesterol level has not dropped as claimed, you can have your money back. Heck, you can have it back anyway if you are not satisfied for any reason whatsoever.
I am also throwing in as a FREE GIFT a low carbohydrate recipe book with over 300 great recipes. Many low carb diets can be high in cholesterol so with both these books you can enjoy a low carb diet and reduce your cholesterol level.
The blood cholesterol level is one of the critical health indicators used by health professionals to assess your overall state of health and you should be doing all that you reasonable can to keep it at a healthy level.
