"At my last checkup, my doctor told me that my cholesterol was a little high. Nothing to worry about yet as my HDL was very good, but I should try to make a few dietary changes to lower the bad numbers as they were on the high end of normal. I did not want to take drugs as all drugs have unpleasant side effects.
Dr. Brill's book explains how to lower cholesterol by adding foods, plant sterols, soy, garlic, oatmeal, apples, beans, almonds, flaxseed and daily walking for exercise. This book is easy to understand but also has details on the how and why each step works. She backs this up with facts and studies. The key is fiber. Lots of fiber, both soluble and dietary fiber, to remove excess cholesterol from the body. The first half of the book explains the 10 steps, the second half is recipes.
One warning: add the fiber gradually. Digestive distress will ensue if it's done all at once! I know, I did it. Does it work? I'll find out a few months when I go for my follow up blood test. For now I have added daily oatmeal, apples, nuts, garlic and walking, plus my already high fiber diet with lots of fruits and veggies.
UPDATE: Yes, it works! After 3 months I went for my follow-up test. Bad cholesterol numbers were down more than 20%. All are now in the good to very good range."
"Well written book. A lot of studies referenced, but the information makes sense. I don't know how well I would be able to follow this, being a person who doesn't cook much, but will try to the best of my ability because it is a good natural and healthy way to approach lowering cholesterol."
"A few chapters covering the science followed by ten chapters on the what you should be eating or doing to lower cholesterol. Straight forward and worth gleaning what you can from the material."
