You’re responding to an OP made ten years ago, and Phlosphr hasn’t posted on the board in about ten months.
It’s more of a supplement, but completely organic: Organic, Raw, and Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
So you could try looking into that. You have to make sure it is organic and contains the “mother”. If your bottle is clear and doesn’t look cloudy/dusty it means it was probably refined and filtered. Bragg’s is a popular brand.
You could just type it into google with the cholesterol keyword and you will find lots of writings about it.
And you could also look into Red Split Lentils, http://www.lentils.ca/simple-nutrition/canadian-lentils-a-heart-smart-food You don’t need to soak it before cooking (just rinse it), and it cooks pretty fast, <20 minutes
aww, wasted efforts
reported?
I would give up the pizza, as cheese is very high in cholesterol. Cheese contains a lot of fat. I am guilty of eating too much cheese, and it is very hard for the body to digest, as it is basically condensed milk. Most folks, including myself, feel very tired after eating a lot of cheese. But, if you continue to have an occasional pizza, if you gently place paper towels on top of the pizza, the paper towels will soak up the grease from the cheese, and that can help a little with the fat; i.e. cholesterol.
I am on a pill for cholesterol, it didn’t go down in all the years I have been taking it, I read that Cucumber was a help to lower cholesterol I have bee eating a bout a third of a cucumber a day, and now it is down. I do still take the pill.(Protonix.)
I stayed on a no fat diet for 5 years and my cholesterol went way up. It could be that I used a lot of sugar during that time, when I went back to eating some fats my cholesterol did go down some, but not as much as it should be. The cucumbers seem to be helping.
Protonix does not lower cholesterol. Protonix decreases the amount of acid in the stomach.
If you’re trying to make lifestyle changes to improve your lipid panel, it really helps to get the breakdown of your score from your Dr. It’s not just about your total number (although they do generally recommend total cholesterol under 200). Your LDL and HDL, the ratio between the two, and your triglycerides, give you a lot of info.
Dietary cholesterol, found in eggs etc, has no proven effect on your circulating blood lipids. Your intake of carbs/sugars, and the types of fat you eat, do. Exercise also plays a big role.
I’m glad someone mentioned this. You don’t have any chicken cholesterol clogging your arteries. It’s human cholesterol produced by your own body that is the problem.
Thank you for correcting me, I should have said Lipitor.
