A daily “Polymeal” to reduce cholesterol

A daily "Polymeal" to reduce cholesterol I find it really frustrating/silly/ retrograde that in July 2012, there has been another rush of news coverage about the need for a "Polypill" to fix us all. What is the Polypill? This pill has been hailed by the media as a necessary and just-in-time medical miracle amidst the current landscape of almost universal poor health in Western countries. The Polypill is being billed as the "new" saviour for the over 50's. And most of us will probably accept this "answer" to our poor health, because a large majority of people mistakenly believe it [...]

Make sure you take these supplements if you are taking Statin pills to lower cholesterol

Make sure you take these supplements if you are taking Statin pills to lower cholesterol Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin D and C among key supplements needed to protect against the side effects of statin drugs that are taken to lower cholesterol but often have other damaging consequences If you, or someone you know, are one of the 1 in 3 people over 45 taking Statins to lower your cholesterol, then you will benefit by knowing the specific mechanism that statin drugs interrupt in the body - this is the mechanism that reduces cholesterol production, but [...]

New diagram showing how soluble fibre reduces your LDL cholesterol naturally I made this simple diagram below to show you one of the most effective mechanisms you can leverage to lower your own cholesterol naturally.

Despite that fact that we have all heard non-stop over the last 20 years how bad LDL cholesterol is for us, I don't think that message is working [...]

Daily body brushing: 1 min to skin heaven

Daily body brushing: 1 min to skin heaven I have heard about dry brushing or body brushing for ages, and never did it. I didn't think I had the know-how, or it would take forever, or whatever - I just didn't do it. But now I do it everyday without fail, and I can report that my skin now feels like silk. Partner noticed right away - "oooh, very soft!", I got told about a week into my new regime. Result! It's something that's so easy to do, seems to have a lot of excellent additional health benefits beyond soft [...]

Reduce cholesterol with daily green smoothie

Reduce cholesterol with daily green smoothie I am a big proponent of the "attraction" diet, instead of the "avoidance" diet. What do I mean? It's a question of focus. Instead of a focus on the avoidance of a substance, we focus on exactly what we need to put into our body everyday. We've been told for years to avoid saturated fats and red meats etc. to reduce cholesterol. While this is good advice in general, this kind of "avoidance" eating can in theory be done while still eating very unhealthily. What to do instead? Make sure you get your fruit [...]
