Control Cholesterol: The Natural Ways
Heart-Healthy Nutrition, a meta-analysis reported in *JAMA* (2020) showed that a plant-based diet lowers LDL by 15–25%.
The Portfolio Diet (nuts, soy, fiber) is as effective as statins for some patients. (Flaxseed meal, Sprouted Bread, Peanut Butters are some practical options that we may adopt easily).
Cooking demo below:You can use Meditarrenean diet too.It is not easy to eat out, but it is a fact of life that most of us eat out. What to do? If you live and work around Penang Island, Seberang Jaya, Kulim, I suggested to many of my EHS participants to try out food from Homey They deliver, and their food supposed to be designed by nutritionist/dietitians. Try out 2 to 3 weeks, most of your meals, and check your cholesterol/Lipid Profile, and give me feedback. I am interested to know.
Aerobic/Cardio exercise (Walking a good option) raises HDL, reduces Triglyceride; resistance training improves lipid metabolism.
