To reduce cholesterol:
· First cut down on saturated fats. To do this:
· Eat lean meat. Select lean cuts and ask your butcher to cut off
the fat.
· Drink skim milk instead of whole milk.
Do the same for all dairy products. Note that vegetarians have a
much lower cholesterol level (almost twice as low as average) which
is perfectly understandable, since cholesterol is only found in
products derived from animals.
· Alcohol - in moderation. Not more than two glasses a day.
However, it does appear that drinking a moderate amount of alcohol
raises the number of HDL lipids (the good ones!), which break down
cholesterol. (Moderation = two 4 oz. glasses of wine or two 12 oz.
beers.)
· Do regular exercise, for example walking.
· Take Vitamin E. It reduces the risk of coronary disease.
· Calcium brewer’s yeast, Vitamin C and Vitamin B-6 also
combat the accumulation of cholesterol. And don’t forget lecithin,
which helps fight excess cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, hypertension
If you have liver spots, it is up to you to get rid of them.
May be you took too much sun, without using the proper
precautions like sunscreen, gradual exposure, etc. If you continue
ignoring your skin in this way, you might end up looking like a lizard!
Liver spots can also result from a thyroid deficiency. The thyroid
gland must therefore be stimulated through a variety of means. For
example, brown seaweed tablets: take one a day every morning, for
fifteen days a month.
Or apply a cream composed of 1 teaspoon oxygenated water and
4 1/2 tablespoons lanovaseline every morning and night.
Aloe vera (see previous chapter) is very effective in treating skin
disorders. Daily application of aloe vera over a period of time can
eliminate liver spots completely.
Also take a look at your nutrition: the real problem might lie in
what you do or don’t eat, like a diet too high in fat.
