Lower cholesterol

Importance of Lifestyle

The first and fundamental corrective approach to lower cholesterol is hygienic-dietetic. For this, the adoption of a healthy and balanced diet - together with abstention

from cigarette smoking and the practice of regular physical activity - it must be considered as a real drug. Not only that, the achievable results are often even greater and are further enhanced by the absence of the side effects inevitably associated with taking a medicine.

The possible failure of these interventions requires the use of drugs able to lower cholesterol, which must not however replace, but associate with, an appropriate lifestyle. In this way, in fact, the synergistic action of the two interventions can be exploited.

Dietary supplements are placed between diet and drugs, some of which have an efficacy and a mechanism of action comparable to those of synthetic drugs; this is the case, for example, of red fermented rice, which can be considered a real "natural statin".

The following articles provide the reader with useful information on different strategies - dietetic, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical - to lower cholesterol levels.
