Snacking to turn healthy by reducing cholesterol levels - Video
Overview
Snacking habits are major cause of rise in blood cholesterol levels. People with high levels of cholesterol are often advised to cut down on snacks and eat healthy boiled vegetables and fruits. Often medications for cholesterol aren't followed making management of cholesterol a serious trouble as it's the root cause of developing cardiovascular and kidney diseases.
The Journal of Nutrition brought out a trial that had a different approach to manage LDL levels in patients who refuse to take statin drugs. A pleasure loved and acceptable snack-based solution formulated from cholesterol-lowering food ingredients could represent a therapeutic alternative for lowering cholesterol. LDL cholesterol was reduced by 9% approximately, and Total Cholestrol was reduced by 6% approximately.a combination of cholesterol-lowering bioactive compounds can rapidly and meaningfully reduce LDL cholesterol in adult patients unable or unwilling to take statin drugs.
