You can eat two garlic buds early in the morning and two before going to sleep in the night.that helps to reduce cholesterol.

Its also a good contraceptive and gives you some peace and quiet.

Neglible effects I believe. You need at least 2000mg of garlic a day to have any noticeable results. But I'm willing to be persuaded if anyone can show some research and statistics.

Three basic recommendations. Exercise regularly, change your diet and supplement it with cholesterol lowering medication. I tried Medical watermelons, check here - MOD EDIT

NO ADVERTS!

Eat less meat, less dairy made from full milk and egg yolk. Eat more fruit, vegies and nuts grains, dont forget to eat fish and things that contain omega3.

I just came across the same question I was looking for. My cholesterol level is bad and I recently got my blood analysis to prove it. The doctor was all about eat healthy, maybe light jogging and stuff but how am I supposed to know what to eat, maybe it wont affect my body since no two are the same. So I can see that people here have made some good points... anyways try to read about some effective lowering cholesterol diet [nofollow] that can help you reduce your bad cholesterol. I hope you see this message after such long time.

People who exercise are usually healthy.
Eat light food
Garlic may help protect the heart by reducing cholesterol and making the blood less sticky.
Nuts are very effective at lowering cholesterol levels.
Orange: Sweetest medicine. Taking2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent& dissolve kidney stones as well as lessen the risk of colon cancer

Why bother? The correlation between cholesterol and premature death is much weaker than the correlation between statins and serious degeneration of all sorts of functions. We need cholesterol to make a whole lot of other stuff. If the level is abnormally high, it means that something else is wrong. Treat the cause, not the symptom.

I also take a supplement that I saw on amazon of artichokes that helps to reduce cholesterol. What do you think is better that or the red rice one?

Cholesterol level is largely dictated by your genes.
You can eat high cholesterol foods without familial hypercholesteroleamia (high cholesterol thats genetically passed down to you) and be ok.
Cholesterol lowering statins are the most effective way of reducing it (read more on [spam]online pharmacy[/url] site).
Don’t listen to scaremongering regarding statins, although some statins don’t suit everyone, there are lots of different ones so there are options.
It is vital that your ‘bad’ cholesterol level is lowered.
Keep up with the healthy lifestyle and keep up with your GP.
