What is the best natural way to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure?
Hypertension management is often a 3-step approach. Step 1 is changes in diet, weight and lifestyle. Steps 2 & 3 involve medication in addition to Step 1. Step 1 changes mean a low-sodium, low-cholesterol/fat, balanced and healthy diet. Plenty of water. Then there’s the matter of excess weight. Lose it. Changing one’s lifestyle means stress management, more exercise/activity, no smoking, no alcohol. This is all natural, no pills and effective.

I’ve read that eating oatmeal every day can lower your cholesterol, but just how effective is it? Would you have to eat tons and tons of it for it to be effective? Or is it how regularly you eat it that lowers your cholesterol?
You are probably correct in estimating you would have to consume a very large volume of oatmeal for it to have an effect equivalent to medication for lowering cholesterol.I think in a best case scenario a cup a day if you are on a cardiac diet may knock 8-10 pts off your total chol. reading.

I just had bloodwork done for a physical. My overall cholesterol is 226. my LDL is 157 and HDL is 36. I know I need to raise the HDL and seriously lower the LDL. Are there any foods out there that can help this? And will excersice and dropping weight help? Im also pre-diabetic. No better motivation to work out regularly than that. Any suggestions would be great. I current'y work out sporadically but now I believe I will be doing at least 30 mins 5 days a week since Ive seen where I stand.
Cut down on red meat and other animal fat products, and
try getting whole grains into your diet. One thing I like is lowfat yogurt with AllBran Buds (Buds not shreds or flakes) and yup get your exercise.
