Use These 3 High Cholesterol Natural Remedies To Get Control Over Your Cholesterol Levels

By Joe Dungait

With a growing number of people looking to take care of their health through natural methods these days, then it stands to reason there is a growing demand for high cholesterol natural remedies. This is probably due in no small part to the fact that statin drugs that have been traditionally used to treat cholesterol levels have so many side effects which are bad for you, means that many people will ultimately want to use a safe alternative. Of course there are different forms of high cholesterol natural remedies, however here are three that can give you a head start in controlling your cholesterol levels.

1.Garlic - Over the years the praises of garlic have been sung by many holistic practitioners. Garlic has many health boosting properties, and one of them is that it is able to help your body control cholesterol levels. This is down to a compound that contains which is allicin. However if you are like a lot of people who are reluctant to eat garlic because of the smell that it leaves on the breath, then help is at hand because it is now widely available in the form of supplement.

2.Artichoke - There is a substance which can be extracted from artichoke leaves which is known as cynarin. back in the 1970s researchers conducted some tests on cholesterol levels and the use of cynarin and over a six-week period found a decrease in total cholesterol levels of the subject using this artichoke leaf extract to go down by 10 to 15 percent. Again artichoke leaf extract is widely available in supplement form for many health food shops.

3.Naturally Blended Supplements-- Although the two supplements that we have already covered are potent and can help to balance cholesterol levels, there are what is known as naturally blended supplements which contain a variety of ingredients that are even more potent in the way that they not only reduce the bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol, but also help your body to excrete any excess cholesterol that remains. The key ingredients to check for in these kinds supplements include but are not limited to policosanol, theaflavins and phytosterols. Policosanol in particular is very effective and has been clinically proven to be as good at reducing bad cholesterol levels as statins but without the nasty side effects.

Hopefully you will find that one of those three high cholesterol natural remedies will be the one that works for you. And, in an ideal world one of them will do the trick for you because ultimately they present a better scenario for long-term health than having to go on a lifetime prescription of statin drugs; even more so when you consider some of the side effects of them can be health conditions such as heart failure, cancer and they are even linked with Alzheimer's disease.
