Why has the bad cholesterol count gone up through the AMA? Who allowed the cholesterol number to be raised? Was this mandated by our government and the big drug companies? I am highly concerned towards taking Lipitor to lower my cholesterol, because of known and unknown side-effects.
The best way to lower your cholesterol is to drink more water.
Cholesterol is produced by the body as a preventive measure to protect the arteries from damage. When you don’t drink enough water, the body may take the water it needs from your blood (blood is made up of around 90% water).
When it does, it leaves salt behind (the body is composed of a 75% water/salt solution). This salt can become abrasive on the inside of the arteries, causing tiny holes and weakened arterial walls.
Cholesterol (or plaque) is the body’s way of applying a band-aid on the damaged areas. If dehydration continues, more plaque will build up until the artery becomes blocked.
To take care of this, you need to drink more water. If you’re not used to drinking a lot of water, doing so may wash out important vitamins and minerals, which may create a worse condition. To learn the proper way to do it, click on the link below. The information is free.
