From the school of medicine at Stanford University came a report from a study in high cholesterol. The study which focused on 300 men and women with high cholesterol revealed that with both a healthy diet and exercise pattern you could significantly reduce cholesterol levels in your body. In controlled conditions, one group used a low fat diet and the other was used a low fat diet together with an exercise regime.

After a year of following there diet/diet and exercise regimes, the group that incorporated exercise into there routines lowered there cholesterol level considerably more than the group who didn't exercise at all.

Consider on top of your new diet plan to add as much vitamin C as possible.

As an addition to your low cholesterol diet you should make sure to eat plenty of Vitamin C. Vitamin C is used to fix natural cracks and fractures in your arteries. If you don't get enough Vitamin C your body will substitute it with cholesterol.

In another study done, with sixty heart bypass surgery patients, it was shown that eating grapefruit everyday lowers your cholesterol.
Dividing the patients into groups, one group was given red grapefruit and another white grapefruit. A third group did not have any grapefruit given to them and there diet was not restricted in any way.

The study revealed the grapefruit groups both lowered there cholesterol but the group with no diet restrictions did not lower there cholesterol level.

If you are concerned or don't know if you have high cholesterol levels then get it checked by your local doctor. It's better to be safe than sorry.
