Various dietary methods of lowering " LDL " Cholesterol

For EXTRA-HEALTHY MEALS, cook with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil!Olive oil contains

more " good " fat per tablespoon thanany other cooking or salad oil!***Replacing

saturated fats in the diet with Olive Oil leads to a reduction of " bad " LDL

Cholesterol (whereas replacement with Polyunsaturated vegetable oils depletes

the " good " HDL Cholesterol as well, " says Andrew Weil, author of the

best-seller, " Spontaneous Healing. " SPINACH and ASPARAGUS rank high on the list

of protective dark greens. Highest in chlorophyll content, they also are high in

antioxidants!Asparagus contains asparagine, an amino acid that stimulates the

kidneys to get rid of toxic waste! it also improves circulation and helps

" unglue' fatty deposits so they can be washed away!***FIBERIncrease your daily

fiber intake! We ought to be consuming between 22 and 50 grams a day! Fiber

stimulates digestion! Figs, Dates, Raisins, and Beans are high in fiber and

essential B-complex vitamins! Studies have shown that cancer risk may be

decreased fifty-percent simply by increasing fiber intake in the diet. Diet is

easy to change whereas other risk factors such as family history cannot be

changed! In a study carried out by CSIRO nutritionists (in Australia) the group

of women who ate the most fiber (28 grams or more a day) were found to have only

half the risk of breast cancer compared with women who had the lowest fiber

intakes (around 14 grams a day).We know now that beans are abolutely packed with

soluble fiber, which helps lower LDL cholesterol and lowers blood pressure! That

same fiber also helps keep blood sugar levels stable, staves off hunger and has

even been shown to reduce the insulin requirements for people suffering from

diabetes! Cooked dried beans also contains chemicals that inhibit the growth of

cancer! There is a wide range of beans to choose from...red, white and black

beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, fava, kidney, lentils, lima, split peas,

pinto, white, Great northern, navy and butter beans. All offer the same kind of

wonderful health benefitsCOLD-WATER FISH are high in the Omega-3s. Omega-3s,

commonly referred to as " Essential Fatty Acids " protect our bodies from the

ravages of disease. Because it stops " Prostaglandins " from going into dangerous

overdrive, fish oil helps alleviate illnesses that are triggered by the

prostaglandins. See footnote*DRINK 8 or more full glasses of water daily. This

can be supplemented by various herbal teas. For maximum health benefits choose a

good Spring Water source! Bottled water is a good choice as the quality of tap

water has been compromised! Avoid brands by Coca-cola. The bacteria content of

these brands are undetermined and have been subject to recall!. Getting your

daily fluid requirement is vital. Proper fluid intake is imperative for healthy

cells and fluid arteries! Avoid Foods cooked In Oils Kept at high

temperatures.Oils kept at high temperatures for extended periods of time are

known carcinogens!! Fried foods contribute to your cancer risk! Visit www.
