There are many factors that can cause high cholesterol. The most common ones include the processed foods and the sedentary lifestyle which makes our body store almost all the food that we consume on a daily basis.

Many people do not take high cholesterol seriously. In fact, if your cholesterol is over 200, you should consider this serious because it can cause further complication and turn into a chronic illness.

3. Rid the arteries of cholesterol with olive oil.
Soluble fats and omega 3 can increase good cholesterol (HDL) and reduce the bad one (LDL). It is recommended to use olive oil unheated because during heating, this oil can lose its beneficial properties and compounds.

The process of heating will destroy the molecular structure and transform the fat into a substance dangerous for out health. Make sure to include avocado and fish (tuna and salmon) in your diet as well.


5. Carrot and Spinach juice

You should chop the carrots into small pieces. Slice the spinach leaves and liquefy everything. If you notice that it has a thick consistency, make sure to add water.

As you can see, trying these remedies can help you to effectively lower the cholesterol. However, don’t forget what we said before.

In order to get the best results and obtain the maximum benefits of these foods, you should make some changes in your lifestyle.

If you decide to start running after a year of not having any physical activity, make sure you do this gradually.

In the beginning, you can’t give yourself a goal of running an hour a day. The same thing applies to your diet. You can’t stop eating meat from one day to the next.

Eliminate foods that contain the most fact. What I’m trying to say is that it takes time to lower your cholesterol and improve your overall health.
