You don't need to take drugs to lower cholesterol . Instead, reduce the fat in your diet by cutting way back on meat, eggs, butter, whole milk products and other sources of saturated fat. Keep your weight and your blood pressure within normal range. Enjoy whole grains and avoid processed foods. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, especially cooked greens, to make sure you get plenty of folic acid .
Folic acid reduces the level of an amino acid called homocysteine that clogs arteries.
To ensure a good supply of folic acid, take a B-complex vitamin supplement every day. I recommend a supplement that contains 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 and 400 micrograms of folic acid. Also, take my antioxidant formula . Ease up on the coffee and other caffeinated liquids. Caffeine increases the workload of your heart and makes it harder to relax.
