6. Lower Cholesterol
An increase in LDL cholesterol is the only cause of coronary artery disease, (CAD). LDL cholesterol produced in the liver has plenty of health functions, but when it reaches concentrations higher than 70-mg p/dL in the blood, then we run the risk of developing arterial plaque, which starts the onset of CAD.
Various lifestyle factors can cause an increase in LDL cholesterol production. People that eat high amounts of sugar and saturated fats in their diet are at high risk of exceeding the 70-mg p/dL threshold. Smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, and a sedentary lifestyle are all contributing factors to an increase in LDL cholesterol.
Fortunately, it’s possible to live a healthy lifestyle and maintain low cholesterol levels through changes in diet, exercise, and supplementation. Focus on a diet rich in fiber and high-quality fat sources, such as oils and fatty meats like fish. Supplement with red clover extract or tablets, and you should notice a significant improvement in your cholesterol readings the next time you’re in the doctor’s office.
