Take Control
of Your Cholesterol— Without Drugs
If you are one of the nearly
100 million Americans struggling with high cholesterol, then
Dr. Janet Brill offers you a revolutionary new plan for taking
control of your health—without the risks of statin drugs.
With Dr. Brill’s breakthrough Cholesterol Down Plan, you
simply add nine “miracle foods” to your regular diet
and thirty minutes of walking to your daily routine. That’s
all. This straightforward and easy-to-follow program can lower
your LDL (“bad”) cholesterol by as much as 47 percent
in just four weeks.
Cholesterol Down explains Dr.
Brill’s ten-point plan as well as the science behind it.
You’ll learn how each miracle food affects LDL cholesterol
and how the foods work together for maximum effect, as well as:
- How eating whole grains helps
reduce LDL cholesterol in your bloodstream
- Why antioxidants keep plaque
from building up in your arteries
- How certain steps change the
structure of LDL cholesterol particles (and why it’s best
for them to be large and fluffy)
- Why walking just thirty minutes
a day lowers “bad” cholesterol and cuts dangerous belly
fat
With everything you need to stay
focused on the plan, including a daily checklist, a six-month
chart for racking LDL cholesterol changes, tools for assessing
your risk level for cardiovascular disease, sample weekly menus,
and even heart-healthy recipes, Cholesterol Down is the safe
and effective alternative or complement to statin drugs.
