High cholesterol leads to heart disease. In fact, high cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and the higher your cholesterol is, the greater your chance of developing atherosclerosis, fatty deposits formed from cholesterol that collect in the arteries and restrict blood flow. According to the American Heart Association, “As blood cholesterol rises, so does risk of coronary heart disease.”
However, this major risk factor is a risk factor that you have the power to change!
Here are some additional steps that you can follow to make the changes:
First of all, you can see your physician for a health assessment and a treatment plan. In addition to a cholesterol test, your doctor can perform tests that reveal the amount of atherosclerotic plaque (fatty build-up) in the arteries, which can then, in turn, help your doctor, set a treatment plan for you.
For example, your doctor may suggest staying away from foods high in saturated fat (meats and some oils) and trans-fat (like store-bought cookies, cakes and crackers), which is very bad for you as it raises your LDL cholesterol.
Secondly, your doctor may suggest adding healthier foods to your diet. What are the top five cholesterol-lowering foods? According to the Mayo Clinic: oatmeal and oat bran, walnuts and almonds, olive oil, fish and omega-3 fatty acids, and foods and supplements fortified with plant sterols.
Maintaining a cholesterol number that is within the normal range is not always easy, and can be very challenging, especially with all of the dietary temptations. But it’s essential to the prevention of heart disease. Talk to your doctor today for more information about how you can lower your bad cholesterol and raise your good!
And remember: Res-Q products are unique, heart-healthy dietary supplements that have helped thousands of people maintain a healthy cholesterol level while effectively reducing triglyceride levels. In fact, we really haven’t seen anything more effective at lowering triglycerides than Res-Q 1250, which may be why so many people recommend it to their friends. Therefore, Res-Q 1250 is our primary product for cholesterol health.
Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin should be used along with Res-Q 1250. Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin, contains an ingredient that has been shown to lower LDL cholesterol levels. Furthermore, unlike a lot of other cholesterol products that only work in the liver, Res-Q LDL-x2 also addresses dietary cholesterol! In the digestive tract, Res-Q LDL-x2 inhibits the absorption of cholesterol thereby providing extra support with those day-to-day dietary temptations. Res-Q LDL-x2 is now available with or without no-flush niacin.
Res-Q HDL+ is a no-flush niacin supplement that is formulated to workwith Res-Q 1250 and Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin for enhanced cholesterol well-being. Res-Q HDL+ helps provide optimal levels of niacin to yield an even greater cholesterol-health benefit. Taking additional niacin along with Res-Q LDL-x2 With Niacin can help provide optimal levels of niacin for greater cholesterol health.
Res-Q Land ‘n’ Sea Fiber is a supportive product for cholesterol health. Res-Q Land ‘n’ Sea Fiber contains pysllium, a wonderful fiber reported to lower LDL cholesterol. Psyllium is a wonderful source of soluble fiber that the FDA has recognized for its ability to lower LDL cholesterol when used along with dietary modifications.
We recommend that you review all supplements with your physician prior to use. Any questions regarding a medical disorder or prescription medications should be directed to the physician.
