Omega-3, Cholesterol, Natural Health
Dr Barry L Marks, Chiropractor Orange, CA
I previously mentioned a study linking natural benefical bacteria supplements (probiotics) to lower cholesterol levels. Now there is another recent study on how you can safely and naturally reduce cholesterol without the risk of drugs.
2008 Italian study reported in the prestigious British journal, Lancet, revealed that a daily fish oil supplement containing Omega-3 Fatty acids was superior to a leading cholesterol lowering drug “Crestor.”
The 4-year study encompassed 11,500 particpants in two paralell studies. Participants who took the fish oil supplement showed less risk of hospitalization and death than the Crestor participants.
Among the benefits of Omega-3 supplementation are lowered cholesterol, lowered risk of cardiovascular disease and complication, lowered inflammation and pain in arthritis, and increased mental clarity and focus.
So, if you have high cholesterol levels, and would like to try to lower it without the risk of prescription medications, give probiotics and fish oil a try. The two supplements are compatible and may combine to stabilize your cholesterol levels naturally while also providing other health benefits.
