Your eating habits can actually reduce bad cholesterol and diminish your dependency on medication!!!

We all know animal-based and highly processed foods contain more than there fair share of sugar, salts and fats!

“Clinical indicators of heart disease — high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol (especially the 'bad' cholesterol, LDL), high blood homocysteine and a couple of other indicators — also are important to consider but these occur mostly because of a bad diet. When total blood cholesterol is under 150 mg, almost no heart disease is observed. The usual range of total cholesterol in North America and other western countries is between 160 and 260 mg, so most of us are in trouble,” say nutrition and health expert Dr. T. Colin Campbell, professor emeritus of nutritional biochemistry at Cornell University and author of The China Study, which explores the connection between disease and diet. Dr. Campbell continues and states "There is evidence that diet alone can prevent and even reverse heart disease."


Dining Out advice from Dr Campbell:

-Consume a whole foods, plant-based diet (oats, whole wheat, dried beans, tofu, eggplant and almonds are all cholesterol-lowering foods)
-Eat lots of colored vegetables and fruits
-Restrict salt, sugar (refined carbs) and fat
-Add a regular exercise program
-Drink at least two quarts of good water per day
-Get some sunlight
-Sit back and enjoy
