My cholesterol is 311 and I am trying not to get on meds to lower it. Could someone tell me what foods and vitamins I could take to help lower it
I take Vytorin…I don't think that's a statin, but you can check. Supposed to have no side effects. Only problem is I can't have grapefruit (but I don't eat it anyway, so no big loss there).
I also highly recommend taking Omega-3 fish oil capsules and garlic pills.
Combine that with an exercise program (losing weight helps to reduce cholesterol), and you should be just fine.
With the plan listed above, my cholesterol dropped from 240 to 140.
Hope this helps.
