Lower LDL Cholesterol Naturally with Food: Simple Ways to Add Proven LDL Reducers to Your Everyday Routine
LDL cholesterol is
the primary driver of our primary killer, atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease. When it comes to LDL, the lower, the better. No threshold appears to
exist below which further LDL-lowering won't further reduce our risk of heart
attacks, strokes, or sudden death.
The reason more people aren't prescribed cholesterol-lowering statin drugs is
there are associated drawbacks (such as increased diabetes risk), so the drugs
are limited to those for whom the benefits outweigh the risks. But what if
there were safe, simple, side-effect-free steps we could take to lower our
cholesterol, like eating certain foods every day? With no downsides, everyone
should be eating them to get their LDL as low as possible, regardless of
whether they are already on medications or not.
That's what this book is all about.
From the New York Times bestselling author of How Not to Die, How Not
to Diet, and How Not to Age, Michael Greger, M.D., FACLM, with Kristine
Dennis, PhD, MPH, this primer lays out the risks and benefits of statin drugs
and who should take them, before diving into detailing the diet best proven to
lower LDL cholesterol through the combination of avoiding cholesterol-raising
foods and including a portfolio of foods that actively pull excess cholesterol
from our bodies. Drs. Greger and Dennis then expand this portfolio with
creative ways to incorporate all known foods and safe supplements that have
been shown to lower LDL by at least 10 mg/dL (0.26 mmol/L).
Lower LDL Cholesterol Naturally with Food concludes with actionable steps
to maximally reduce our LDL, including recipes such as Dr. Greger's Portfolio
Plus Powder to sprinkle on meals.
