The Best Anti-Cholesterol Teas

The cholesterol is indispensable to the body and 75% of it is produced by the liver. Because of the cholesterol, the body produces vitamin D, useful in setting the calcium in the bones. But when in excess in the blood for a long time, the cholesterol is deposited on artery walls and becomes one of the main risk factors of cardiovascular diseases.

The first step - Changing dietary habits

Changing poor eating habits is a useful strategy to reduce the bad cholesterol. “A

diet based on foods such as fish, vegetables, vegetable oils (no red meat, fatty or fermented milk and eggs), followed in the same time with a herbal treatment is an important step in the battle with the silent enemy – the cholesterol", says Eugen Giurgiu, Doctor in biochemistry, with expertise in phytotherapy and nutrition. Recent studies indicate that the first effects of this regime anti-cholesterol occur after 60 days and should be continued for two years. In such cases, cardiovascular accidents are significantly reduced, with 66%."
