It is usually doctors who had the higher a person's HDL (good cholesterol) concentrations and the measurement should be less), LDL (bad cholesterol, the better its condition of health.

But what exactly is the ideal limit of normal? How high or low as is acceptable? The desirable LDL level is usually considered less than 100 mg / dl, while the level of HDL is desirable in general, is regarded as more than 50 mg / dl. Levels of total cholesterol in the desiredmg, the blood must be kept to less than 200 / dl (which is usually referred to by doctors as "borderline high-level"). In general, you should try to maintain the values in this field.

In addition, the LDL cholesterol to HDL ratio of 4.4 or less should be maintained. That is, the number of your LDL should be divided by the number of HDL 4.4 is the highest. Otherwise, ask your doctor.

However, maintaining control of their cholesterol levels within these limits may, of course, verydifficult for some people because they do not decide to change their lifestyle and diet. They would have preferred to take drugs like Zocor, Lipitor, Lescol, and so on, without even thinking to their pattern of diet or lifestyle.

However, to give you an idea of how strong a change of diet may be the reduction of cholesterol, let me tell you my story.

In 2008 I took my first thorough medical check-up test at 37 years, and displays the result, that my reading of total cholesterol was 376 mg / dl! My LDL alone, more than 260 mg / dl. Say that I was surprised by this result would be an understatement. I was very shocked!

I always had the feeling healthy, not a sign of something wrong with my body. I do not drink alcohol, not smoking, physical exercise in some way deficient, but the conditions for the rest is better than my friends who know.

I was shocked and was looking for information on how to> Reduce my numbers the same. I consulted many doctors and searched many sites on the Internet. Some have suggested that some who have struck. I took note of all, and I have all (well, almost).

The result? My total cholesterol dropped from 376 mg / dL to 121 mg / dL in less than two months. It 'was a glorious day, when I learned of this reduction is huge, and I am confident whispered goodbye to the dreaded possibility of heart disease.

Basically, I have done? Icompletely changed my diet as described below:

– My doctor asked me to red meat and poultry, reducing hiring, so I do not consume a total of all types of meat and fat for 2 months.

– The doctor asked me to milk and dairy products to reduce, so I went .. No milk, no chocolate, no cheese, no butter for 2 months.

– I read on the Internet that some kind of good vitamins and supplements to reduce cholesterol, so I started a daily dosethem.

– Another doctor asked me to get more exercise, so I started jogging every Saturday morning for 4 kilometers. I bought a pedometer and walk 10,000 steps a day. (in case you do not know, a pedometer device that counts), your footsteps.

– A book I read suggested that I should eat more fruit daily, and I started to eat more fruit daily.

– In the same book he suggested that I should eat more vegetables and eat more whole grain breadBread, so I have in each meal.

– A friend suggested more than sea fish such as salmon and tuna, because the omega-3 fatty acids and benefits of the oil to increase HDL. I have eaten at least once a day with one of my meals.

– I have an announcement about the brand of cereal that claims to be able to bind cholesterol in the intestine, so I ate them after every meal.

And to be objective, I should say that my doctor prescribed me with 20 mg of Zocor (also known as simvastatin) daily for a month after he was told the test result. However, he asked me to let him know when I took the drug, so I can follow my progress and I have a new treatment, if necessary. It 'been a good thing that my levels would fall only for a maximum of 100 points after 1 year, still under the daily dose of Zocor.

I know some of my friends who took the drug himself, and by your manufacturer's website that the doctor> Cholesterol levels fell by 100 points with this drug is rare, even with continued high doses of 80 mg daily use.

I have never visited the doctor recovers after my degree, but I could only imagine the look on his face when he knows my result.

For all these facts, I could only attribute my decline in cholesterol levels monumental change in lifestyle, particularly the change in my food / dietary pattern in a healthy and natural. Once at this point,Check the numbers can be done quite easily, actually.

A note to smokers: It's time to quit smoking. Smoking causes the oxidation of cholesterol in the body, cholesterol and oxidized cholesterol is much more dangerous than normal.
