2010-03-08 Walnuts, Cholesterol, LDL and Triglycerides MND: Your Daily Dose of Counter-Theory

Evaluated the effects of a walnut-supplemented diet on 87 adults with normal-to-high cholesterol levels in their blood. This study used a crossover approach, in which all of the patient volunteers received walnut supplements for 6 months, and were then switched to a walnut-free diet for another 6 months. During this 12-month study, blood tests were performed at the beginning of the study, and then at and 12 months into the study. Because of the crossover design of this study, the researchers were able to directly compare the effects of walnut supplementation on body weight, total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol), HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol), and fatty acids (triglycerides). (Together, these compounds are referred to as lipids. )

2010-03-05 7 Tips To Fight High Cholesterol Level

Cooking oils are not the only source of fats in our diet. There are plenty of other things like nuts, avocados, beans and lentils that are good for cholesterol levels. Oily fish like salmon, sardines or mackerel should also be a staple and should be eaten once a week. A word of warning here: shellfish, things like prawns or mussels contain high levels of cholesterol and should be eaten sparingly.

This is one question that your doctor needs to answer for you. He is the expert after all and is qualified to make the decision if you need medication to keep your cholesterol in check. In some cases medication is probably necessary, but changing your diet and lifestyle will give you other benefits as well as a lower cholesterol level. Why not try it before resorting to medication

They come from the school that warns low-fat diets have failed in reducing rates of heart disease and cancer in controlled clinical studies, and that claims low cholesterol is not all its cracked up to be.

2010-02-27 Bad science getting worse: Low-carb diets increase LDL, high-fat diets raise stroke risk in women

Plus, the missing element Dr. Hernandez does NOT talk about in this study is the LDL particle size. I discuss this in Lesson no. 2 of my new book because it is too important an issue to miss and hellip;and research like this totally misses the boat time and time again. When HDL is up above 50 (when you eat plenty of fat in your diet) and triglycerides are below 100 (by reducing carb consumption), then the predominance of your LDL particles will be the large, fluffy kind that are protective against penetrating the arterial wall of your arteries, becoming inflamed, and causing heart trouble. But when you consume a high-carb, low-fat diet, the LDL particles become the much more dangerous small, dense kind that you absolutely want to avoid at all costs. That and rsquo;s why I so highly recommend people get an
