Lower Cholesterol with These 3 Foods

[@sharonchancey8938]

My dr told me I absolutely had to take statins bc it was absolutely impossible to lower cholesterol with diet and exercise especially at my age. After 9 months they finally wanted to do a fasting blood draw. Dr called and said she was blown away. My bad stuff went from 200 to 118 . Praise be to God

Just one thing in your fridge will lower your cholesterol and diabetes levels without stress, it worked for me. That one thing is egg, incorporate it in your food as a separate meal, don't combine it with any food. In my own case, I take 3 to 4 eggs for my breakfast, then my launch and dinner are vegetables with fish or any type of protein that you choose (note that if you choose chicken or Turkey for your protein, you must remove the skin)combined with very low carbohydrate foods and within a week, I was free from both of them till today. I changed my diet since about three years ago and I'm still cholesterol and diabetes free.

Hi. I have super high cholesterol. I am pescatarian for 40 year's now, don't eat any deep fry, sugars, processed food or junk/fast food. I live mostly on beans, fish, veggies and fruits. I live a super healthy lifestyle. I am 5'3, 115 lbs. I work out almost daily and take at least 5 sauna's per week. My doctors say I am healthy and doing all the right things for my body yet my cholesterol is in the high 300's and LDL is way up there. I do not "usually" take prescription meds but am very close to starting a statin against my better judgement. There is a ton of heart disease in my family. I personally have a strong heart but the cholesterol issue for me is dangerous and I'm really nervous now that I cannot control it thru diet and exercise. I have tried very unsuccessfully! I am told that this is hereditary and although I am doing everything right, there is not other option for me than to take the statin pills. Any advise please? Thank You!

Yes my dad passed at 66 from high cholesterol:( but I don’t even think he knew he had it until it was too late !

Statins did keep her cholesterol LOW! But I am going to really try to do it naturally …. Fish, veggies, fruits, beans, water and egg whites and I have to follow LOW fodmap foods only and low glycemic foods …. Low fodmap has helped my IBS …. They said I either have IBS or I don’t have the enzymes that digest fatty foods … I will say this eliminating alll the junk bacon hot dogs burgers white buns white pasta saves my GUT

YAY YOU Robin! You took the ball and ran with it. Believing starting with just "3 foods"! And that these three foods not only helped your cholesterol, but blood pressure AND DIABETES! People think "beans are carbs" but they are the loaded with fiber, slow-rising, packed with potassium carbs. Can't throw all carbs under the bus. But get smart with your carbs. Apples....AMAZING! Your weight loss is excellent and helping your body to improve it's glucose sensitivity... And the best part about your comment...."I'm finally enjoying the journey". YEEEEES!!!

As I live in Norway fish is not a problem and I do eat it fairly often. I also like pulses but forget to eat my beans, the same applies to apples and pears. This is going to change - I do not like taking medication and at 76 it is time to update my lifestyle!

Ground flaxseed (two tablespoons) along with Ceylon cinnamon (heavy sprinkle) and stevia (according to your taste), add berries of your choice, all mixed in a 3/4 cup (more or less, you decide) of fat free plain Greek yogurt. And I’d sometimes drizzle sugar free syrup on it (it does have aspartame, I know it’s terrible for me). This tastes so good and helped me lower my cholesterol and keep it in the normal range. I eat a bowl of this most mornings for breakfast.

Love fish, my daughter says that probably I was born in a boat, because I love fish. Today my lunch was salmon (can) spinach, tomatoes, green onion. We have a good Publix supermarket next to our house, with a good Seafood department, we go get fresh fish, come home cook and eat. Thanks for all the good advise. My doctor said this week my labs were excellent. Already subscribed to your channel. And yes love apples also, eat them with a sprinkle of ginger and cinnamon.

It's easy to tell you are passionate about eating healthy to reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, BP etc. You have a wonderful bubbly personality that is enjoyable. You remind me of my 'aunty Bev'. I'm 63 and underwent a triple bypass three years ago. I have always been a healthy eater, passing over burgers, pizza etc. My friend always teased me and called me a grazer, because I opted for salads. I unfortunately have familial high cholesterol 😔 I have good HDL and good triglycerides, but bad LDL. My BP is normally around 120/70, sometimes lower, so that is never an issue. My cardiologist wanted me to take statins, but I refused. Even though I am already a healthy eater and I upped my intake of even healthier choices, after 6 months my cholesterol only dropped 5 points. I conceded to try Repatha, but I am still wary. It hasn't been around long enough to establish strong research on the side effects of long term use. Anyway, I am not a fan of salmon. Mom made patties and loaves when we were kids and they were awful. I am going to try your recipe using the packets and the spicy sauce. I love all kinds of beans but I will admit I don't eat enough of them. I will now add them daily to my diet. I love berries of all kinds,, but I am not a big fruit eater. I will pick up some apples at the market. I prefer red delicious ( 😊 ) and granny smiths. My next cardiologist appt is in April and I'm hoping my numbers go down even more. If so, I might ask to stop taking the Repatha to see if my cholesterol will stay below 200. Loved your video. Thank you for the wonderful information and recipes.

I cook 1 lb of pinto beans 6 C water or low sodium broth, in my Instant pot for 35-40 min. quick release. I add one whole onion, 3-5 cloves of garlic, 1 Tbsp cumin, 1 Tbsp Chili powder, some salt, pepper, stir and put the lid on your instant pot. I take half out to keep whole, the other half I remove water and use my immersion tool to smash them into healthy Refried beans (no oil or lard) :) Delicious!!

[@geralddecaire6164]

Went on a plant based diet loaded with beans and in 9 months since my last stent I needed three additional stents. We're talking pure bean, no added nothing. Beans are also starchy and loaded with carbs. I guess it depends on your particular metabolism.

Great info. Thanks for sharing. Been eating more beans since last year, and started eating lentils last month. Then, I started taking bone, fish, chicken and vegetables broths almost daily - I cook the soups, beans and lentils in broths. The broths did it for me - made me cut down on meat consumption significantly....down from daily to once to three times a week! I love the taste of the home made broths so much I don't feel the need to eat the meat that much anymore.. The broths have the protein. Nuts and seeds provide the rest. I hope my bodyfat goes down from current 22.9% to 20% or less over the next 3 months. I started jogging on Sunday, I feel good. No major pain or inflammation to deal with this time. Broths have reduced inflammation in my body, finally.

You are so refreshing & saving lives! Thank you! For years, I've begged my doctor for referrals to a nutritionist, but she refuses & only believes in prescribing medications. She doesn't believe nutrition & supplements can have positive affects on one's health or that nurition & supplements can lower lab results. I have a great insurance policy which covers visits to a nutritionist, but my doctor gate keeper refuses to allow my consult with a registered dietician & won't follow through with referrals for tests requested by my other specialists. This dance with my JPS primary care physician (PCP) in Fort Worth, Texas is exhausting, so backwards & promotes "sick care with prescriptions." Thank you for your help! I deserve better! I'm trying to find a good nutritionist and a better PCP doctor for my healthy future self.

I’ve been following your recommendations on eating beans to lower cholesterol. I saw my doctor today and got the results of my recent blood tests and my total cholesterol was down 20 points and my triglycerides are normal. I am 2 points still above normal and the only area keeping it slightly up is the HDL. He was thrilled with my progress as was I. I don’t know if this has anything to do with this also, but I’m sleeping better and have more energy and have lost also 10 lbs.

Beans are good, just be sure to pressure cook them to kill the lectins which is the plants chemical defense mechanism. Some people with gut permeability have trouble digesting beans. In this case you can take digestive enzymes and HCL for support.

I lost 13 lbs and I walk daily now …so come Jan after following low cholesterol diet and adding fish and your wonderful recipes I will report back :) I plan to lose 25 lbs by then and they want to retake my blood test.

Green beans spike my blood sugar less than the other type beans, so It wouldn't make sense to drop them out, but by using two of the three you suggest, iit shouldn't be too bad.
