Should you try to lower cholesterol naturally, or make life simple and take the pill your doctor prescribes and forget it?

That little pill sure seems a whole lot easier than making big changes in diet and exercise, doesn’t it?

Life is so busy!  There just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day.  Do you have time to spend on changing your life?

Doesn’t taking a pill sound easier?

Do you know that lowering your cholesterol will NOT reduce your chance of dying of a heart attack?

Seriously!  If you are concerned about dying because your cholesterol level is too high, you need to know that just getting that number down, is no guarantee that you are safe.

Taking a pill to lower your cholesterol will NOT improve your health!

Cholesterol drugs come with some VERY undesirable side effects!

Side effects of Statin drugs include:

  • liver toxicity
  • gastrointestinal symptoms
  • rashes
  • blurred vision
  • muscle inflammation and weakness
  • rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition involving muscle breakdown, and can be FATAL!

One statin drug, Baycol, was voluntarily recalled in August 2001 after being linked to 31 deaths.

Every one of the drugs in this class works in a similar manner and has similar side effects.

Be aware that LOW cholesterol levels have been linked to:

  • depression
  • anxiety
  • mood swings
  • suicide
  • poor impulse control
  • hostile behavior

CNN has an article on low cholesterol that reports a strong link between lower-than-average cholesterol and impulsive, aggressive behavior. The report notes that people taking cholesterol lowering drugs seemed to be dying at an unusually high rate from causes unrelated to cardiovascular disease. Many seemed to be “smashing their cars into bridges and doing all sorts of impulsive and violent things.”

If you lower cholesterol naturally you WILL improve your health, because everything you can do to accomplish that goal is good for you!

How Do You Lower Cholesterol Naturally?

  • Eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables everyday.
  • Sip water all day long.
  • Get 30 minutes of sunlight everyday.  (Have your vitamin D level checked, and supplement if necessary.)
  • Spend time in quiet stillness on a regular basis.  Release tension while you listen for messages from your intuition.
  • Build your breath! Breathe better and live a longer more productive life.
  • Be active!  Americans are dying early from EVERY cause of death due to Sedentary Death Syndrome.
  • Laughter is the best medicine, and it comes with DESIRABLE side effects, and hopefully it IS contagious!
