parents... cholesterol

June 27, 2008

Hi Peter,

I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. Basically all You need is eggplant, water and lemon juice.So, in a jar put 1 eggplant thinly sliced and fill with 1 liter water.Let stand over night (in the fridge if you like).The next day remove the eggplant and add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons.Drink along the day. Do this 2 weeks in a row.I havent tested it, yet(lazy )It's simple and ... it's vegan :)Try it! What have you got to loose besides cholesterol? Let me know if it worked for You.Do You use a lot of coconut and palm oil? They say it makes the cholesterol levels go up.On the other hand olive oil will help your HDL (the good guy) go up and the LDL (the bad guy) go down.Cheers,BeatrizI tremble for my species when I reflect that God is just.-Thomas Jefferson--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV

All my dad eats is red meat and starch, and wonders why his health is so bad and he's overweight. My mom eats nothing but chicken and gorges on candy when she thinks no one is looking.

I worry about them both, but especially my dad. He has NO leeway. Unfortunately he's the product of his generation and all he knows is red meat and starch.

That sounds wierd?

I do eat half a grapefruit every morning which is supposed to help.

Dont think there is anything nutritionally valuable in an aubergine is there? Probably the vitamin C in the lemon as an antioxident?

I am aware of how bad coconut oil is , so have cut down, I do take an EFA suppliment ( but mostly because I believe it helps with the migranes I rarely get ), dont know if it helps with HDL/LDL levels.

Well, Dear...I have no clue about eggplant's chemistry nor of what transits out of the eggplant and into the water. It's that this recipe comes in natural health books and also saw it here on TV.So, it's up to you whether you want to try it out or not...Cheers,Beatriz--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 wrote:Peter VV <swpgh01Re: parents... cholesterol Date: Friday, June 27, 2008, 4:58 PM

from wiki:

Studies of the Institute of Biology of SÃ£o Paulo State University, Brazil (Instituto de BiociÃªncias of the UNESP de Botucatu, SÃ£o Paulo) showed that eggplant is effective in the treatment of high blood cholesterol hypercholesterolemia.

It can block the formation of free radicals, help control cholesterol levels and is also a source of folic acid and potassium.[6]

All my dad eats is red meat and starch, and wonders why his health is so bad and he's overweight. My mom eats nothing but chicken and gorges on candy when she thinks no one is looking.

I worry about them both, but especially my dad. He has NO leeway. Unfortunately he's the product of his generation and all he knows is red meat and starch.

Well, Dear...I have no clue about eggplant's chemistry nor of what transits out of the eggplant and into the water.

That sounds wierd?

I do eat half a grapefruit every morning which is supposed to help.

Dont think there is anything nutritionally valuable in an aubergine is there? Probably the vitamin C in the lemon as an antioxident?

I am aware of how bad coconut oil is , so have cut down, I do take an EFA suppliment ( but mostly because I believe it helps with the migranes I rarely get ), dont know if it helps with HDL/LDL levels.

Hi Peter,I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. Basically all You need is eggplant, water and lemon juice.So, in a jar put 1 eggplant thinly sliced and fill with 1 liter water.Let stand over night (in the fridge if you like).The next day remove the eggplant and add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons.Drink along the day. Do this 2 weeks in a row.I havent tested it, yet(lazy )It's simple and ... it's vegan :)Try it! What have you got to loose besides cholesterol? Let me know if it worked for You.Do You use a lot of coconut and palm oil? They say it makes the cholesterol levels go up.On the other hand olive oil will help your HDL (the good guy) go up and the LDL (the bad guy) go down.Cheers,BeatrizI tremble for my species when I reflect that God is just.-Thomas Jefferson--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV

Hi Peter,I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. Basically all You need is eggplant, water and lemon juice.So, in a jar put 1 eggplant thinly sliced and fill with 1 liter water.Let stand over night (in the fridge if you like).The next day remove the eggplant and add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons.Drink along the day. Do this 2 weeks in a row.I havent tested it, yet(lazy )It's simple and ... it's vegan :)Try it! What have you got to loose besides cholesterol? Let me know if it worked for You.Do You use a lot of coconut and palm oil? They say it makes the cholesterol levels go up.On the other hand olive oil will help your HDL (the good guy) go up and the LDL (the bad guy) go down.Cheers,BeatrizI tremble for my species when I reflect that God is just.-Thomas Jefferson--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com> wrote:

All my dad eats is red meat and starch, and wonders why his health is so bad and he's overweight. My mom eats nothing but chicken and gorges on candy when she thinks no one is looking.

I worry about them both, but especially my dad. He has NO leeway. Unfortunately he's the product of his generation and all he knows is red meat and starch.

from wiki:

Studies of the Institute of Biology of São Paulo State University, Brazil (Instituto de Biociências of the UNESP de Botucatu, São Paulo) showed that eggplant is effective in the treatment of high blood cholesterol hypercholesterolemi a.

It can block the formation of free radicals, help control cholesterol levels and is also a source of folic acid and potassium.[6]

That sounds wierd?

I do eat half a grapefruit every morning which is supposed to help.

Dont think there is anything nutritionally valuable in an aubergine is there? Probably the vitamin C in the lemon as an antioxident?

I am aware of how bad coconut oil is , so have cut down, I do take an EFA suppliment ( but mostly because I believe it helps with the migranes I rarely get ), dont know if it helps with HDL/LDL levels.

He certainly is :-)

The cake was from the Linda Majzlik baking book - the marinated fruit cake. That recipe was for an 8" round cake so we had to multiply the amounts to fit a 10" square cake (which is bigger than it sounds). It is baked on Gas mark 2 - so very low. We had a practice run a few weeks ago, and it was a really delicious cake - I would recommend it to anyone who needs a rich fruit cake.

Studies of the Institute of Biology of SÃ£o Paulo State University, Brazil (Instituto de BiociÃªncias of the UNESP de Botucatu, SÃ£o Paulo) showed that eggplant is effective in the treatment of high blood cholesterol hypercholesterolemi a.

It can block the formation of free radicals, help control cholesterol levels and is also a source of folic acid and potassium.[6]

Well, Dear...I have no clue about eggplant's chemistry nor of what transits out of the eggplant and into the water. It's that this recipe comes in natural health books and also saw it here on TV.So, it's up to you whether you want to try it out or not...Cheers,Beatriz--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com> wrote:

That sounds wierd?

I do eat half a grapefruit every morning which is supposed to help.

Dont think there is anything nutritionally valuable in an aubergine is there? Probably the vitamin C in the lemon as an antioxident?

I am aware of how bad coconut oil is , so have cut down, I do take an EFA suppliment ( but mostly because I believe it helps with the migranes I rarely get ), dont know if it helps with HDL/LDL levels.

Hi Peter,I heard/read a couple of times of this homemade remedy for cholesterol.It's rather simple. Basically all You need is eggplant, water and lemon juice.So, in a jar put 1 eggplant thinly sliced and fill with 1 liter water.Let stand over night (in the fridge if you like).The next day remove the eggplant and add the juice of 1 or 2 lemons.Drink along the day. Do this 2 weeks in a row.I havent tested it, yet(lazy )It's simple and ... it's vegan :)Try it! What have you got to loose besides cholesterol? Let me know if it worked for You.Do You use a lot of coconut and palm oil? They say it makes the cholesterol levels go up.On the other hand olive oil will help your HDL (the good guy) go up and the LDL (the bad guy) go down.Cheers,BeatrizI tremble for my species when I reflect that God is just.-Thomas Jefferson--- On Fri, 6/27/08, Peter VV <swpgh01 (AT) talk21 (DOT) com> wrote:

my parents were a bit like that, before I went vegie, and vegan when I was a kid, we didnt have much, so it was a question of eat whats there or go without. my mother always seemed to be in the kitchen, cooking/baking making jam etc......... ...she still cooks for me ..........

I`m just a big momies boy......... .....

All my dad eats is red meat and starch, and wonders why his health is so bad and he's overweight. My mom eats nothing but chicken and gorges on candy when she thinks no one is looking.

I worry about them both, but especially my dad. He has NO leeway. Unfortunately he's the product of his generation and all he knows is red meat and starch.
