CHOLESTEROL

    Cholesterol is our body's own antioxidant protecting us against naturally occurring free radicals. It is needed for life. There is good cholesterol (made from balanced nutrition during exercise and play) and bad cholesterol (made during stress or from over-cooked animal fats). We need a certain amount of cholesterol to handle stress. We make about four times as much cholesterol in a day as we eat in our diet. Excess dietary fat (including margarine) tends to increase blood cholesterol. People who have high blood cholesterol and high stress cannot lower blood cholesterol by avoiding it in their diet. Adequate fiber and roughage in the diet carries fat and toxic substances quickly out of the body. Heat converts normal cholesterol found in animal products into oxycholesterol, which is unhealthy and toxic.

    * Take ProvexCV and the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex daily, as directed. Take Phytomega daily as recommended. The phytosterols and omega-3 fatty acids in Phytomega help to lower cholesterol levels and maintain healthy triglyceride levels for enhanced cardiovascular health. The ingredients in Florify have also been found to exert a hypocholesterolemic effect. Begin a regular exercise program, and eat an Access Performance Bar 15 minutes before your workout. Put Sustain Sport in your water while working out to maintain needed energy and electrolytes. Drink 2 to 4 cups of Melaleuca Herbal Tea each day.
