How to reduce “bad” cholesterol without medication

High cholesterol is a serious risk of cardiovascular disease. When too many low density lipoproteins (LDL or "bad" cholesterol) accumulate in the body, it can lead to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques that block arteries and cause heart attacks and strokes. At the same time, it is possible to change the situation without medication - with the help of proper nutrition.

One of the most effective ways to reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol is to introduce products rich in glucorafanin into the diet. It is a chemical compound that is found mainly in broccoli, cauliflower and sprouted sprouts.

According to experts, glucorafanin after entering the body is converted to sulforaphane - a substance that helps to regulate metabolism and inhibits cholesterol synthesis. The research states that the use of broccoli can regularly reduce the level of LDL by 16-19%, and the risk of heart disease - even more.

Useful substances are better stored when processing steam - this is the heat treatment of scientists for vegetables rich in glucorafanin.

Another product that has proved efficiency in reducing cholesterol - avocado. According to research, daily use of one avocado for six months helps to significantly reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol in the blood.

In addition to reducing cholesterol, sulforafan also has antioxidant effect and potential in the prevention of cancer. This makes herbal products with a high content of glucorafanin not only beneficial to the heart, but also important in the overall health of the body.
