• Coronary artery disease
• Heart attack
• Stroke

Lifestyle Changes & Supplements Can Help

• Get regular exercise to raise good cholesterol levels.
• Modify your diet to eliminate fried foods and fatty animal products, which contain saturated fat, hydrogenated fat and cholesterol.
• Found in cold water fish and flax seed, essential fatty acids (EFAs) have been shown to lower bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol.
• Try supplementing with Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), a vitamin-like nutrient found in cells. Studies show that CoQ10 supports healthy cholesterol levels.
• Policosanol, a substance derived from the stems of sugar cane, also appears to raise healthy HDL cholesterol levels.
• Properties in green tea have also been shown to support healthy cholesterol levels.
• Red yeast rice contains fiber, rice starch and fatty acids, as well as monacolin and mevinolin, which may provide natural benefits for cholesterol health. Red yeast rice may lower CoQ10 levels (similar to statin cholesterol-lowering drugs). It is recommended that you consume at least 100 mg per day of CoQ10 supplementation when taking red yeast rice.
