Cholesterol: Fact or Fiction

Got cholesterol?

| What exactly is cholesterol? |
|
When people talk about their cholesterol level, they mean the total amount of cholesterol in their blood. The higher the cholesterol, the greater the risk of heart disease.
The human body produces about 2 grams of cholesterol daily, which represents approximately 85% of cholesterol in the blood. The other 15% comes from our diet, derived from the fats in the food we eat. Cholesterol is essential for the formation of estrogen in women and testosterone in men, as well as the processing of vitamin D.
Cholesterol in the body is transported by special "packets" called lipoproteins.
The two major lipoproteins are LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) and HDL (High Density Lipoprotein).
In addition, you've probably already heard of triglycerides. Triglycerides are the fundamental form of fat. Triglycerides are stored in the fat cells of the body until needed as energy. High triglyceride levels are associated with increased risk of heart disease.

| Why should I keep my cholesterol levels under control? |
|
|
LDL is the "bad" cholesterol, which clogs up arteries. When it affects the heart's arteries, a heart attack may result.
LDL sticks to the inside artery walls like plaque and obstructs blood flow which results in increased blood pressure. People with too high LDL levels have a higher risk of developing heart disease.
HDL is the "good" cholesterol, which removes excess cholesterol from the arteries. People with high levels of HDL have a lower chance of heart disease.
Know your levels and try to manage it accordingly. You can have your "lipid profile" done by your general practitioner. It is important to have a full profile done and not merely an overall "cholesterol count".

Healthy Cholesterol Levels ....
|
|
| What is the best way to manage cholesterol levels? |
Follow a diet that contains little saturated fat and cholesterol.
A good diet includes plenty of whole wheat products, fruits and vegetables.
Fiber is an important component of a cholesterol lowering diet, since cholesterol is discharged into the bowel via the gall bladder and then reabsorbed. Fibers (if present in the bowel) cling to the cholesterol, making it impossible for the cholesterol to return to the bloodstream. The cholesterol is then excreted together with the fibers.
It is very important to get as close as possible to your goal weight (see the "Ideal Weight" section on the Manna website at the "Weight Loss" section), because when you lose weight, cholesterol levels also reduce.
Physical activity is just as important, because it promotes "good" (HDL) cholesterol levels and helps you maintain your goal weight.
Smoking lowers your HDL levels and should be avoided.
Follow the Manna Low GI menu plans and reduce all fat intakes to a minimum, because your body manufactures enough cholesterol of its own.
So ....
-
Avoid fatty, oily foods as far as possible.
-
Following a high-fiber, fresh fruit and fresh vegetable diet.
-
For rapid weight loss, follow the "Manna 7-day damage control program” on the website.
-
Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day to raise HDL levels.
-
Take a natural food supplement like Manna Cholesterol Support that helps to....
> increased blood flow
> reduce undesirable blood cholesterol (LDL)
> loosen lipid deposits in the arteries

| What is Manna Cholesterol Support All About? |
|
|
The use of botanical and herbal medicines as a complementary approach for the treatment of cholesterol has been steadily increasing, possibly because of the adverse effects associated with the use of chemical medication.
This formulation of the highest quality natural & organic ingredients was specifically designed to improve a healthy vascular system, assisting in dissolving of LDL cholesterol in the arteries, increase HDL and helps to dissolve lipid deposits on the inside walls of the arteries.
FREE from ALL major potential allergens and is free of ANY additives.
If you look at the ingredients below, you can see why this product is formulated for ultimate enhancement of the vascular system. We only use 4 ingredients in the product to get the highest effect from each individual ingredient.

|
1. Guggulipid
Myrrh, also known as Guggulipid, is used for arthritis, lowering high cholesterol and atherosclerosis.
Guggul is the extract of the gum resin of the Commiphora mukul tree, which is native to India. Guggulsterones can inhibit the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver, may have an antioxidant effect on lipids and may have thyroid-stimulating activity.
|
|
2. Green Tea extract
Green tea lowers blood cholesterol by reducing its absorption in the digestive tract, while increasing its rate of excretion. But perhaps even more important than whisking away excess cholesterol is green tea’s ability to fight the conversion of LDL to its more dangerous, oxidized form.
When LDL is oxidized, it gets sticky and tends to cling to the walls of your arteries. Oxidized LDL is a major factor in the development of atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque in the arteries), and greatly increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke. Green tea, through its antioxidant action, does much to protect LDL from oxidation, thus helping to keep your arteries “clean.”

|
3. Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Niacin, a B vitamin, has long been used to increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or the "good," cholesterol. HDL cholesterol helps sweep up low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or the "bad," cholesterol, in your bloodstream. Although niacin is readily available and effective, it hasn't gotten much attention compared to other cholesterol drugs.
Most discussion about cholesterol focuses on lowering your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or "bad," cholesterol. That's still an important goal. But boosting your HDL level can be just as important as lowering your LDL cholesterol.

4. Fenugreek seed extract
Benefits of Fenugreek seed extract include the ability to lower serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and helps maintain normal sugar levels in diabetics.
