Cholesterol Cures: Featuring the Breakthrough Menu Plan to Slash Cholesterol by 30 Points in 30 Days

by Rodale Health Books (Editor)

This newly revised and updated edition of Cholesterol Cures examines in-depth research on improving your overall cholesterol profile.

Cholesterol Cures goes beyond traditional advice and explains how specific foods and nutritional supplements, along with physical activity and lifestyle changes, have a direct correlation to healthy cholesterol levels. From familiar remedies—such as garlic, oats, and fish oil supplements—to unique finds such as grapeseed extract and coenzyme Q10, this book offers a definitive guide to improving your health. It also debunks the myth of “forbidden foods” like red meats and dairy and provides a guide on how to integrate high cholesterol foods as part of a healthy, cholesterol-friendly diet.

I'm hoping that some of the options and suggestions in this book will prove beneficial to us, especially my husband who has had an adverse reaction to every cholesterol-lowering drug on the market. This book has three parts:

Part One: Your Cholesterol-Reducing Action plan
Part Two: The Breakthrough Menu Plan
Part Three: The 500-Food Fat and Cholesterol Counter

Counting the index, there are 328 pages of information.

I won a copy of this book in a Goodreads giveaway and I am under no obligation to write a review and do so voluntarily.

This was an easy to read, easy to understand book. Although doctors won't just do lipid panels 30 days apart, I had one done in November 2018 whereas I found out my numbers were a bit high and another one in November of 2019 to find that my numbers decreased substantually. In fact, my total cholesterol went down 30 points! I will definitely continue using what I learned and look for all of my numbers to be within normal range by February 2019.

My cholesterol is a little high so I thought I'd educate myself and got out about 3 or 4 books from the library. This is the first I've read. I learned about antioxidants (good), free radicals (bad), flavenoids (good). I also got questions answered on vitamins and supplements I have heard might be helpful taking to help for high cholesterol. I was particularly curious about Coenzyme Q10 and fish oil. Co Q10 doesn't exactly lower cholesterol but it is healthy for the heart and I might start taking it. Lower doses of fish oil are good for the heart but higher doses help with raising your good cholesterol so I think the fish oil is a winner.

So, good book information about cholesterol, for knowledge about different foods and their impact on cholesterol and the heart. Probably a good book for reference too. You might want to pick this one up. Worth reading, and again and referring back to.

Not my usual reading but I must say it was interesting and even better helpful.

Got this book out of the library for information about high cholesterool. It is mostly menus and a diet plan.
