Cholesterol and Lifestyle

Cholesterol is something that we all need to balance out in our diets in order to maintain our health.  Having too much of one or the other can have detrimental effects on our bodies causing problems with our health.  My husband is diabetic and I have learned several ways to reduce the "Bad" cholesterol for myself.  Drink plenty of water, exercise, reduce your stress level and eat lots of fiber foods.  Also stay away from fast foods that contain a lot of calories as well as cholesterol.  Hamburgers and french fries are loaded with both.  Eating more vegetables and grain cereals is a good way to reduce the HDL cholesterol.  

I read a few articles at: www.compukiss.com about cholesterol.  They have lots of useful information and advise.  The more you know the less likely you are to have high choloesterol.  Since reading and learning about it for myself, I have been able to reduce my cholesterol 50 points so that I am now in the normal range.
