How to Lower Choleterol

Cholesterol is a fatty component your liver makes to build and strengthen your body's cellular walls. You have two types of cholesterol: bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein or LDL) and good cholesterol (high density lipoprotein or HDL). Having bad cholesterol causes heart problems due to plaque buildup in the arteries, while keeping good cholesterol and high density lipoprotein will protect against heart problems. There are ways to lower your cholesterol naturally with different potent cholesterol-lowering nutrients and herbs.

Instructions

Eat turmeric. This potent herb, used in East Indian dishes, contains the compound curcumin, which can improve your blood circulation while lowering bad cholesterol (LDL). Add turmeric to your main dishes every day.
