How to Lower Cholesterol Naturally
When many individuals are initially diagnosed by their medical physician as having high levels of cholesterol, they immediately look to the various large pharmaceutical manufacturers for assistance in addressing their condition.
After all, many prescription medications are indeed capable of lowering cholesterol levels, especially when combined with healthy lifestyle changes and the careful monitoring from their medical professional.
However, even following these proposed medical guidelines and procedures can still result in suffering from a large number of side effects that can include, but are not limited to, cramps, stomach pain, diarrhea, nausea, constipation and muscle soreness, weakness and pain.
But what if you are wanting to lower your cholesterol level while, at the same time, avoid the harmful side effects? Fortunately, there are ways to lower cholesterol naturally, and a new study is showing that the more natural approaches may be just as effective as costly prescription medications.

Canned Food Contains More BPA Than Previously Assumed
There are primarily three approaches to consider when choosing how to purchase fruits and vegetables: fresh right from the garden and/or orchard, frozen, or canned. While virtually everyone would agree that the best approach is to regularly consume all natural fresh fruit and vegetables; in many instances, doing so requires a little more effort.
For instance, fresh produce will spoil much more quickly than the other two approaches. This being said, in general, fresh produce will need to be consumed fairly quickly to avoid spoilage and will last longer if refrigerated.
However, while canned foods offer a convenient, although less flavorful alternative to fresh foods, researchers are now citing one more reason to avoid consuming them in large quantities.
It’s a non-debatable long-standing fact among the researchers and scientists that canned goods contain the dangerous compound BPA (bisphenol A), however, it’s also now believed that the levels of BPA in canned foods are much higher than previously thought.
Energy Drinks Linked with Increased Hospital Visits
Over the last several years, energy drinks have sky-rocketed in popularity. In fact, recent data suggests that over 100,000,000 individuals living in the United States consumed an energy drink in 2011, totaling over 6 billion energy drinks being sold. In addition, the majority of energy drink sales are by teenagers. The rise in the popularity of energy drinks can be associated with young Americans specifically drinking energy drinks to boost their alertness and stamina, especially when the trials and tribulations of the day begin to fatigue their mind and body.
Although there’s nothing wildly unhealthy about such a practice, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is now issuing a warning stating that consuming energy drinks in excess, or in combination with drugs and alcohol, could be very dangerous.
One Beer Per Day Reduces Heart Disease Risk, Studies Show
