My day with cholesterol started in 1988.  At that time it was 240.  Kind of scary!!!!

One Saturday while I was taking my routine morning walk, I ran into a yard sale and I picked up a book that was talking about oatmeal.  That was the beginning of educating myself about this food, easy to prepare and very low priced.  I consulted with my friend, Dr. James Wilson, the medical advisor for natureshealingfoods.com.  He strongly suggested it, but he cautioned that I need to buy and use the rolled oats, not the instant, because of the chemicals that the instant oats have so that it cooks faster.

Then Dr. Wilson suggested a list of foods that help the body function optimally and thus lowering my cholesterol naturally.  Here are some of them:

1. Fish 2 or 3 times a week from the deep sea
2. Apples
3. Flaxseed Oil
4. Whole Grain Cereal
5. Fish Oil

You can find a whole lot more if you refer to my book.

In the presentation of my personal story of Health through Nutrition, I elaborated some on plant sterols.  These are foods that contain those elements that help a lot in lowering the cholesterol levels.

I also strongly suggest you to work with Gus’ healthy cooked vegetables.

In the upcoming months, I will also share with you other foods on how to lower your cholesterol, and keep it low!!!

My last thought for today is that there are many statin medications out there that lower cholesterol.  However, they cost a lot of money, and they don’t go to the root of the problem and they have many side effects.

Of course as always you can contact me at gus@natureshealingfoods.com with your questions, thoughts, doubts and of course your success stories, after you have tried the Healthy through Nutrition approach that can be found in my book and of course as always you can become a member of this site for free!!
