Cholesterol comoes from ALL ANIMAL PROTIENS so reduce your meat, eggs and dairy intake (including cooking in animal fat eg., butter). Eat more veggies, nuts, legumes and high fibre foods. You can also eat fish (omega 3 is good fat). Also red wine has been said to help loweing cholesterol.\n\nGarlic is another remedy to lower cholesterol, but since it does give a bad breath, take garlic pills. Apart from that plenty of fluids and exercise in moderation.

Peanuts and peanut butter contain high quality plant protein. When comparing peanuts to similar foods, peanuts have more protein than any other legume or nut. This is especially important for children, vegetarians and people eating more meatless meals.\nPeanuts and peanut butter contain mostly beneficial monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These fats as compared to saturated fats have been shown to help lower blood cholesterol levels. Lowering your blood cholesterol level may reduce your risk of coronary heart disease.\nOne ounce, or one small handful of peanuts contains 2 grams of fiber. This is 9% of the fiber you need each day!\nOne ounce of peanuts provide 16% of your daily need of vitamin E. Vitamin E has been shown to act as an antioxidant which may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.\nPeanuts are an important source of essential minerals such as magnesium, copper, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Some of these "hard to find" minerals such as copper and magnesium may protect against coronary heart disease.\nB vitamins such as folate can help prevent birth defects. They also reduce amounts of homocysteine in the blood that may be a risk for heart disease. Peanuts are a good source of folate.\nPhytochemicals are natural substances in plants which may provide a wide range of health benefits such as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. Peanuts contain resveratrol which is one of the many phytochemicals found in plant foods.

oatmeal is good for helping to get rid of the bad cholesterol ( I believe its the LDL), and eating foods like fish will help raise your good cholesterol (I think it's HDL), which will lower your total overall cholesterol.

1. Do exercise (just walkings and don't get exhausted). Always talk about this to your doctor or get a physical trainer. Exercise can raise the HDL (good cholesterol that cleans up you blood from bad cholesterol).\n2. Eat fish 2-3 times a week (salmon, tuna, macarella, fishes from cold water). They have omega 3, that helps to reduce cholesterol.\n3. Eat plenty of fruits and veggies (because of the fiber), and also grain cereals (like oat,oatmeal, grain flour). Fiber sticks to cholesterol so your intestine wouldn't be able to absorb it.\n4. Try eating pomello (grapefruit), it gots a substance that will keep vytorin (simvastatin) in your blood stream working more time.\n5. Cut off fat from beef or pork. Reduce the meat you eat and try poultry and fish. Reduce shortening and butter, lard, bacon.\n6. Try low fat milk.\n7. Cook with olive oil (high in monounsaturated fat), canola oil, safflawer oil.

There are a number of stories in The Coconut Diet from people who have actually seen their cholesterol -- LDL and triglycerides -- go down and HDL (the good cholesterol) go up with The Coconut Diet.\n\nThe cholesterol-lowering fiasco for a long time centered on the ability of unsaturated oils to slightly lower serum cholesterol. For years, the mechanism of that action wasn't known, which should have suggested caution. Now, it seems that the effect is just one more toxic action, in which the liver defensively retains its cholesterol, rather than releasing it into the blood. \n\nLarge scale human studies have provided overwhelming evidence that whenever drugs, including the unsaturated oils, were used to lower serum cholesterol, mortality increased, from a variety of causes including accidents, but mainly from cancer. \n\nSince the l930s, it has been clearly established that suppression of the thyroid raises serum cholesterol (while increasing mortality from infections, cancer, and heart disease), while restoring the thyroid hormone brings cholesterol down to normal. \n\nIn this situation, however, thyroid isn't suppressing the synthesis of cholesterol, but rather is promoting its use to form hormones and bile salts. When the thyroid is functioning properly, the amount of cholesterol in the blood entering the ovary governs the amount of progesterone being produced by the ovary, and the same situation exists in all steroid-forming tissues, such as the adrenal glands and the brain. \n\nProgesterone and its precursor, pregnenolone, have a generalized protective function: antioxidant, anti-seizure, antitoxin, anti-spasm, anti-clot, anticancer, pro-memory, pro-myelination, pro-attention, etc. Any interference with the formation of cholesterol will interfere with all of these exceedingly important protective functions.\n\nAs far as the evidence goes, it suggests that coconut oil, added regularly to a balanced diet, lowers cholesterol to normal by promoting its conversion into pregnenolone. \n\nCoconut-eating cultures in the tropics have consistently lower cholesterol than people in the U.S. Everyone that I know who uses coconut oil regularly happens to have cholesterol levels of about 160, while eating mainly cholesterol rich foods (eggs, milk, cheese, meat, shellfish). I encourage people to eat sweet fruits, rather than starches, if they want to increase their production of cholesterol, since fructose has that effect.\n\nMany people see coconut oil in its hard, white state, and -- as a result of their training watching television or going to medical school -- associate it with the cholesterol-rich plaques in blood vessels. Those lesions in blood vessels are caused mostly by lipid oxidation of unsaturated fats, and relate to stress, because adrenaline liberates fats from storage, and the lining of blood vessels is exposed to high concentrations of the blood-borne material. \n\nIn the body, incidentally, the oil can't exist as a solid, since it liquefies at 76 degrees. (Incidentally, the viscosity of complex materials isn't a simple matter of averaging the viscosity of its component materials; cholesterol and saturated fats sometimes lower the viscosity of cell components.) \n\nMost of the images and metaphors relating to coconut oil and cholesterol that circulate in our culture are false and misleading.
