That yellow waxy, fatty stuff in your blood is one reason your arteries become depositories for biological muck called plaque that narrows the blood vessels and shortens the gap between you abd heart disease.
Yet cholesterol is not a simple matter, some components of cholesterol are dangerous to arteries, while others are beneficial.
What you eat can put a striking dent in dangeruos cholesterol AND, more spectacularly, acorrding to new findings, change its character so it is not so deadly.
This radical new way of controlling cholesterol by detoxifying it, acorrding to new reaserch, promises to slow dramitically the progression of atherosclerosis by 50-70 per cent and even help reverse existing artery clogging by shrinking the clumps of plaque on artery walls.
Leading researcher around the world agree that they can also attack the disease at artery wall as well as by simply lowering cholesterol, they are all very exicted''
You can use food to control cholesterol with Magic Foods Esentially, you should eat in a way to lower one type of cholesterol, called LDL (low density lipoprotein) and boost another type, known as HDL (high density lipoprotein) That's because the LDLs are 'bad guys' that serve as raw material to clog arteries, in contrast the 'good guy' HDLs gobble up LDL 'villans' AND CART THEM TO THE LIVER, WHERE THEY ARE annihilated.
Obviously, the more HDL and less LDL you have in your blood, the safer your arteries, certain foods help bring this about by destroying detrimental LDLs and creating beneficial HDLs...
Now enters an exiciting new theory that promises to make it possible to control cholesterol with food in ways unimagined even a few years ago.
According to that new theory put forth by leading experts from around the world, here's how arteries get clogged, special forms of oxygen known as free radicals in the blood collide with fatty LDL cholesterol molecules, oxidizing them.
The LDL then turns rancid, much as unrefrigerated butter does, in this altered form it is quickly gobbled up by cells called macrophages.
Stuffed with fat globules, the macrophages enlarge into dreaded 'foam cells' WHICH INSINUATE themselves into artery walls, triggering artery destruction.
If you can prevent this toxic transformation, you LDL cholesterol may remain relatively harmless, so the issue is not just how much LDL cholesterol your blood contains, but how much of it is 'TOXIC' oxidized LDL, capable of clogging your arteries many experts believe that LDL cholesterol is not so dangerous to arteries unless it is converted into toxic form by oxygen free radicals in your blood.
That's where diet can be poweful weapon, mounting evidence shows you can block LDL's toxic transformation, and thus its awesome hazards, by eating foods packed with protective antioxidants.
This means you might intervene at very ''genesis of atherosclerosis' at every stage of life, blocking the cascade of arteries events that create clogged arteries, heart attacks and strokes, it is a thrilling prospect..

Fantastic !! really makes me want to have all what you Suggest!Afraz, thank you for your comment... Well you have it here, you can use the information i have provided and i trust you will benefit from them.
very helpful,but as far as vitamin c ,how does it lower cholestrol?does ascorbic acid actually dissolve cholestrol or plaque in arteries.?Hi Shahram Thank you for your kind comments and i am glad you found this article helpful. Vitamin C is a natural HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor, It was observed in a recent experiment that when vitamin C levels are low, cholesterol becomes elevated, and when more vitamin C is consumed, cholesterol levels decline..The inescapable conclusion is that vitamin C lowers cholesterol -- without side-effects. vitamin C promotes the production of coenzyme Q10 and lowers Lp(a) I hope this helps.
