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

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.

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.

extra-virgin olive oil is very efficient to lower the bad cholesterol (or better said, when used, the cholesterol stay in the cell membrane instead of leaking toward the blood).
When eated in great quantities it also counteract the use of the bad fats we found in all our food.

Here some other recommendation : https://www.health.harvard.edu/nutrition/is-extra-virgin-olive-oil-extra-healthy

Yes, but we have to be careful and choose only a natural one.

I am intrigued by the idea of "unnatural" olive oil.
Where does it come from?

You never heard about pesticides ?
Natural plants grows without these poisons and they are better for the health if you eat them in great quantities..

In reality, quite a lot of plants make their own pesticides.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrethrum

And the olive itself is a potential source of pesticides.
https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ecam/2015/541591/

Why do you do this?

Very few toxic molecules (not sure we can tell them "pesticides"), and that is the conclusion of the study you provided and dident read yourself (or perhaps you dident understand, not sure).

Furthemore, you try to fool peoples saying that a natural plant is equal healthy then unnatural plants.
This is total nonsense. Even a child actually know that adding pesticides can at least only make you ill, there is no health benefice at eating them (the pesticides).

It is a good idea you had by asking this question.
Myself i suppose why you do that : Because you have worked in the chemical industry and like to propagate false information so as we continue to use pesticides (money money...)
