You've
just had word from your doctor that your cholesterol is
through the roof and your triglycerides have skyrocketed...
you have some tough choices to make.
You have
to choose to be the one to take control of your health,
before that phone call from the doctor is telling you the
next heart attack will kill you. Get a grip, take
control and realize that life has so much more to give when
you decide you want to live a healthful life.
With a
few simple changes in your life (these won't hurt a bit) you
can significantly lower your cholesterol and all those bad
levels your doctor warned you about.
So muster
your courage, take a deep breath and move on with life in a
healthful way. You'll FEEL the difference, guaranteed.
1.
Read labels and nutritional value info. Packaged foods
have notorious quantities of fats, sugars and sodium.
Be careful, be vigilant and read your labels. Know
what you're putting into your body. Choose those with
the lowest fats, transfats, cholesterol, sodium and sugars.
In general, it's also a good idea to avoid any foods you
can't pronounce.
2.
Get up and get moving! Exercise is ESSENTIAL to good
health. It is necessary for good circulation which
benefits your heart, lungs, muscles and energy levels, to
name only a few. Get out of that chair and walk your
dog, dance for twenty minutes, jog on the spot, jump on your
bed or skip to thel loo. Get moving! You'll live
longer.
3.
Use olive oil. Not only is the flavor lovely, but it
is healthy for you. It's well worth eliminating oils
and margarines and using olive oil instead. It reduces
your intake of trans and saturated fats by quite a
percent.
4.
Learn to eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables. Not
only don't they have cholesterol, but are good for
you. Greens are highly useful in eliminating fat and
cholesterol from your body.
5.
Get used to eating the things that have good
cholesterol. The healthy kind that your body
needs. Avocadoes, olive oil and fish are all
incredibly healthy for you.
Remember,
this is your time to shine. Your time to prove to
yourself that you're worth working on. Lower your
cholesterol. It begins a remarkable process that your
body goes through on the road to health.
