High cholesterol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease. Shockingly, 4 out of 5 people over 45 years of age have high cholesterol and 2 out of 3 of them are not treated. Usually, there are no symptoms of high cholesterol, so it is good to have your cholesterol checked annually. There are several factors that can cause high levels of cholesterol in the body, including a diet that is high in saturated fats, lack of physical activity, stress, hormonal changes, being overweight, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption.
Zerochol® Cardio+ is a new natural and powerful supplement that includes a blend of plant sterols, red yeast rice extract, coq10, and vitamin B1. I thought you might like to hear about it. It has been clinically proven to lower LDL cholesterol and maintain healthy heart function. The supplement’s effectiveness is due to the combined action of plant sterols and monacolin K, both of which have EFSA-approved health claims for reducing LDL cholesterol.
To improve heart health, in addition to taking plant sterols, you should also increase your intake of omega-3. Omega-3 has been shown to reduce triglycerides. Consuming oily fish such as salmon or sardines twice a week can provide a healthy dose of omega-3 EPA/DHA. Or a daily fish oil supplement such as Eskimo-3, which is naturally rich in omega-3, can support your heart, brain, joints, and skin and is a simple way to safeguard your health.
Aim to reduce refined sugars, processed foods, and saturated fats. Eat healthy fats found in nuts, seeds, and oily fish. Include wholegrains, chia seeds, and psyllium husks, fruit and vegetables to ensure plenty of fiber. Drink up to 2 liters of water per day. Beetroot juice, hawthorn tea, or cider vinegar added to water, are nice extras you can do.
Last year my cholesterol was high and I successfully reduced it by using natural supplements, dietary, and lifestyle changes. I am going to give Zerochol® Cardio+ a try myself, as I know well that my cholesterol will be back up again after Christmas, I think it will be nice to try something different. I like the company and the mixture of ingredients; I think it is worth a try. I will let you know how it goes.
