Don't lie to us!
If we have cholesterol, it is often because we eat too much fat and do not balance our diet.
Eating healthier and getting some exercise are the 2 secrets (not so secrets) to lower cholesterol levels.
To achieve this without constraint, here are the 7 natural remedies you need to know to reduce your cholesterol for a long time:

The first thing to do when you have a little too much cholesterol is of course to reduce fat of our diet.
Reduce your butter consumption and switch to oils rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and omega-3 and 6.
There, we have a choice. Alternate in your preparations with olive oil, walnut oil, grapeseed oil and sunflower oil.
No need to go without cheese. It is good for calcium and protein.
But you can choose one that will contain low fat (fresh cheese, camembert, cantal).
We focus on fish-based menus at least three times a week .
The lean fish contain on average only 1% fat.
These are cod, whiting or even sole and dab.
That said, a fatty fish once in a while does not harm, because it contains between 5 and 12% fat, which is not a lot.
These are salmon, sardines, tuna and mackerel.
Fruits and vegetables naturally lower cholesterol levels.
You must consume at least 3 per day , including at least 1 raw, because it is rich in fiber.
Bet on seasonal fruits and vegetables sold at the market, they will be cheaper.
Some investments are sometimes necessary.
Of course, we wait until a pan is worn out or it's Christmas or a party, but we think about buying the right utensils to cook.
On the list of items to have absolutely in your kitchen:a wok, a steamer, non-stick pans.
healthy cooking retains vitamins and other benefits of all foods.
These utensils reduce the use of grease.
And to give flavor to steamed cooking, we add fresh herbs, onion or tomato coulis, for example.
Above all, weban fried foods and we move on to the potatoes in the oven.
We have been convinced for a long time that ready-made meals are bad for your health.
In addition, they are more expensive than home cooking.
In terms of cholesterol, it's really blatant.
Do not hesitate to look at the labels of prepared meals, read the levels of carbohydrates and lipids , it is sometimes edifying!
Eating healthy is easy. And it is an effective natural remedy!
It's also great fun to learn how to cook yourself and proudly show off your progress.
And you can count on the light and economical recipes by Cathy, like this one for example, which I personally adore.
The benefits of magnesium chloride no longer need to be demonstrated.
We often recommend it to you, since it is used for many things for health, while being very economical.
A grandmother's remedy for cholesterol is to take a cholesterol cure.
We therefore do not hesitate to do 3 or 4 cures of 3 weeks of magnesium chloride per year. It will indeed effectively reduce our triglyceride levels.
Move every day by walking instead of driving, doing a regular sport , significantly helps to lower cholesterol levels.
Why ? Because physical activity avoids clogging arteries and cardiovascular problems .
It is a real natural treatment against cholesterol.
This combined with your new best diet will allow you to find your ideal weight and keep it, while sleeping better and being less stressed.
