Must Have List Of Foods That Lower CholesterolWritten by Dave Saunders
Continued from page 1
Beans and Legumes: These contain soluble fiber which helps to increase your HDL cholesterol and reduce your LDL cholesterol. All kinds of beans and legumes such as pinto, kidney, black-eyed, lentils, pink beans, etc are good for your heart. Unsaturated Fats: Contrary to misconception that all kinds of fat are bad for you, unsaturated fats and omega 3 fatty acids can actually be good for your heart. Monounsaturated fats (olive oil, canola, peanut, and almond oil) and polyunsaturated fats (corn oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil etc) increase HDL cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol and are thus good for your heart. Other Cholesterol Lowering Foods: Oats, fenugreek, artichokes, turmeric, guggul, green tea, nuts, and black tea, are all known to lower LDL cholesterol in your body. Of course, diet is no substitute for a doctor’s care when you are ill. Diet and nutrition represent "the other side of coin" and always inform your doctor whenever you make a dietary change, especially if you are on a pharmaceutical drug.

Weight Loss Supplements---Federal Regulations The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has had some success in suing marketers of weight loss supplements that claim to burn or absorb fat. Several state attorney generals have also been involved in legal action against weight loss supplement manufacturers. In addition, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has banned over one hundred ingredients that were once commonly found in over counter weight loss supplements. These banned ingredients include alcohol, caffeine, dextrose, and guar gum. But many federal and state regulations can do little more than work to prevent really dangerous weight loss supplements off of market. Unfortunately, under Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, manufacturers of dietary supplements are not required to provide evidence that their products are safe or even effective. The burden rests on FDA to prove that a product is either unsafe or ineffective. Weight Loss Supplements--Should You Try Them? If you decide incorporate a weight loss supplement into your weight loss program, be sure to read all of literature associated with product. Carefully assess claims and risks and understand directions for use. And use common sense; some weight loss supplements require that you follow a very restricted low-calorie diet and exercise several times a week for full effectiveness. But these steps are likely to guarantee weight loss on their own, without need of a weight loss supplement. Still, there are some medical professionals that do not see harm in taking weight loss supplements that are made of safe, all-natural ingredients like Slimirex. Natural fiber supplements may be another good choice. These products may or may not leave you feeling fuller longer. But they will be effective at stimulating digestive system, keeping waste and nutrients moving through system, and improving regularity. Taking product Slimirex™ can help you manage your weight.
