Lowering cholesterol is important business. The airwaves are
replete with messages promoting drugs to reduce cholesterol
risk. “Ask your doctor if Brand-X is right for you.”

I am not here to minimize the preponderance and usefulness of
proper drug therapy in cholesterol management. Simply put drugs
save lives. For many they are an integral part of reducing the
risk of heart disease. In situations like these the mantra of
the 1960’s, “Do drugs!” might be appropriate.

But there is a down side to drug therapy. It is expensive. And
drugs can have many negative side-effects. If given the choice,
would it not be better if you could reduce your cholesterol risk
without drug therapy?

Suppose for a moment that you and I lived inside the artic
circle. in an igloo. Since television reception would be a bit
limited we would have to content ourselves with fresh
conversation. What would we talk about? It is an interesting
scenario.

One topic of conversation that would not arise is that of
cholesterol management. It simply would not be an issue. We
would be ignorant of the topic. Not because we couldn’t watch
the local news, but because we would have no problems with our
cholesterol levels. Wouldn’t that be a switch?

For us our whole world would be our freezer. But the contents of
that freezer would be a bit different than the freezers we have
now. There is, however, one thing that would be the same. In
both scenarios our freezers would be stuffed with fatty foods.
In fact it could be argued that the artic freezer has extra fatty
foods than the one I have out in my storage room.

Towards the middle of the last century researchers discovered
that the Inuit Eskimos had diets high in fat yet had very low
incidence of heart disease. This flew in the face of our ideas
concerning heart disease and fat.

The fact is the Inuit Eskimos had stable cholesterol profiles
and low triglycerides. Their blood platelets also were not as
sticky as their American and European counterparts. They stuffed
their faces with fatty foods all day long and yet had healthy
hearts. Apparently they could teach us a thing or two about
cholesterol management.

As you can imagine this discovery gave rise to a flurry of
scientific studies. The flurry still has not subsided. Finally
we could have our fat and eat it too. We have learned some
things since then. We now know that not all fats are the same.
We know that there are some fats which are known as essential
fatty acids. They are necessary for proper health and our bodies
cannot produce them.

The particular essential fatty acid that the Eskimos were
getting in abundance - they still are I suppose - is known as
omega-3.

Since the startling discovery involving the Inuit Eskimos
omega-3 has received abundant attention among researchers. The
result is that omega-3 has been used in the treatment of a
variety of chronic health conditions. Some of these include.

* High Blood Pressure

* Stroke

* Diabetes

* Arthritis

* Osteoporosis

* Depression

* ADHD

* Eating Disorders

* Skin Disorders

* Asthma

* Macular Degeneration

* Cancer

This list doesn’t include heart conditions such as arrhythmia,
sudden cardiac death, and serum cholesterol and triglycerides
levels.

So where do we get this marvelous omega-3? It primarily comes
from two sources. Vegetative sources such as flax seeds and
broccoli are rather high in ALA which is a form of omega-3. The
other two forms, EPA and DHA, are found in cold-water fatty
fish. These two omega-3 varieties are responsible for the low
incidence of heart disease among those who consume large amounts
of fish like salmon, mackerel and tuna.

How much fish is enough? Well, for those of us who do not live
in igloos it is a lot of fish. Two or three meals per week
including fish high in omega-3 is a good start for those who
have no history of heart disease.

However if you have an arrhythmia, high triglycerides, high
cholesterol or atherosclerosis build up, two to three meals per
week including cold-water fish probably isn’t enough. You may
want to consider taking a quality fish oil supplement. It is a
great way to get sufficient levels of omega-3 without the fear
of contaminants like mercury poisoning. A few of the greatest ones
don’t even have a fishy aftertaste.

So, if you are concerned with heart health and would like to
live without the drugs, eat extended fish. Eat it every day. If you
can’t eat it everyday, consider fish oil supplements. Think like
an Eskimo.

Factors leading to and Increase in Cholesterol

Poor eating habits Diet that is high in saturated fat tends to
elevate cholesterol. Saturated fats are found mostly in foods
that come from animals. Saturated fat raises you LDL (”bad”)
cholesterol level extended that anything else in the diet. Eating
too much saturated fat is the essential reason for high levels of
cholesterol and high rate of heart attacks.

Smoking Cigarette smoking lowers HDL (”good”) cholesterol levels
and is one of the six major risk factors of heart disease. It
also increases the tendency for blood to clot. Once a person
quits smoking, HDL cholesterol levels rises within weeks or
months to levels that are equal to their nonsmoking peers.

Excess Weight Excess weight tends to increase your LDL (”bad”)
cholesterol level. If you are over weight and have high
LDL-cholesterol level, losing weight may help you lower it.

Heredity Heredity can make certain individuals major prone to
high cholesterol. Genes play a role in influencing you
LDL-cholesterol level. Your genes influence how high you LDL
(”bad”) cholesterol is by affecting how fast LDL is made and
removed from the blood.

Stress Stress over the long term has been shown in several
studies to raise blood cholesterol levels. One way that stress
may do this is by affecting your habits. For example, when some
people are under stress, they console themselves by eating fatty
foods.

Alcohol consumption Alcohol intake increases HDL (”good”)
cholesterol but does not lower LDL (”bad”) cholesterol. But
drinking too much alcohol can damage the liver and heart muscle,
lead to high blood pressure, and raise triglycerides. Because of
the risks, the benefit isn’t great enough to recommend drinking
alcohol if you don’t do so already.

Factors which Lower Cholesterol in the Body

Good Eating Habits Eating healthy is a vital part of lowering
you cholesterol. Increasing fiber intake by as little as 3 grams
per day can help lower cholesterol. Good sources include
oatmeal, soy, legumes, some vegetables, and beans. A healthy
diet includes minimal saturated fat. However, monounsaturated
fats (olive oils) have a positive effect on cholesterol. Alcohol
should also be kept to a minimum.

Exercise Along with diet, exercising is an important part of
achieving a healthy cholesterol level. Being physically active
can help lower you cholesterol level, whether it involves
everyday activities like cleaning or gardening or structured
exercise program. Exercise sets off a series of enzymatic
reactions in the body that increases HDL’s and lowers
triglycerides. This will ultimately lower LDL’s (”bad”) and
total cholesterol.

Weight Loss This is actually the most significant independent
contributor to cholesterol reduction. While exercise and proper
diet contribute to cholesterol reduction. In most cases weight
loss must occur to see an improvement. The good news is that
only a five percent weight loss can alter cholesterol
significantly.

Taking control of high blood pressure : An article from: The Saturday Evening Post
Perry discusses the Take the Pressure Off With Better Blood Pressure national campaign, which focuses on the national crisis of hypertension and the simple measures that one can take to reduce risk. The campaign outlines the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC-7) conclusions and findings of numerous studies supporting the benefits of weight loss, smoking cessation, reduced alcohol consumption and salt intake, and higher consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables. Moreover, it seeks to motivate Americans to victory on the national health crisis on high blood pressure.
