how can LDL be lowered without medicine? what foods help, and what causes LDL to continuously rise?
High bad cholesterol (LDL) can be inherited, or it is caused by a poor diet and lack of exercise. The body turns saturated fat into bad cholesterol so you need to cut down on saturated fats to lower your LDL.
Yes, you can lower it without medication by eating more fiber (veggies, oatmeal, fruit), exercising and losing weight.
I was very heavy, and was on medication to lower LDL. I lost more than 100 lbs by eating better and exercising. I no longer take medication and my LDL is low because I eat right and exercise – it does work – it worked for me.
