International researchers have proposed a technique for lowering cholesterol levels that includes five basic actions.
First, it is important to make adjustments in the diet by eliminating fatty meat, lard, butter, dairy products and products containing trans fats. It is recommended to replace them with oatmeal, fruits, fish and nuts. Instead of regular drinks, you should prefer green tea, point out researchers from King's College London.
Secondly, regular physical activity for at least half an hour a day plays an important role in reducing cholesterol levels.
The third rule of thumb is to drink alcohol in moderation. Researchers from King's College London recommend drinking red wine for general well-being, but no more than once every two weeks.
The fourth rule involves weight control. When you are overweight, fat tends to accumulate in the abdominal area, along with LDL cholesterol, which is considered "bad" cholesterol.
The fifth and final rule is to consume enough water. Studies confirm that dehydration can lead to higher blood cholesterol levels.
Recall that earlier doctor Alisova reported that berries, mint and coconuts best help the intestines for comfortable digestion.
