Cholesterol Myths & Facts

Cholesterol Myth #1: Cholesterol can be controlled through a healthy diet balanced with exercise.

Cholesterol Fact: Diet and exercise can assist in getting cholesterol to a healthy level in some individuals. Unfortunately, the gene pool plays a huge factor in our cholesterol numbers and requires the intervention of medications to render healthy results.

Because of the potency of medications in our modern day world, many individuals rely on the performance of drugs to ensure their healthy physical state. As in the case of individuals who take blood pressure medications and heart medications, individuals who take cholesterol-lowering medications often forget all about a healthy diet and continue to eat whatever they want, and enjoy as much as they want - relying on the medication to take care of the cholesterol issue.

Cholesterol Myth #2: High cholesterol occurs as a result of too much meat, too many simple carbs and too many desserts.

Cholesterol Fact: High cholesterol levels can occur even in the individual who embraces the most healthy of diets - including in children, in athletes and in vegetarians.

In Summary:

Cholesterol medications alone may not be enough to put high cholesterol in check, and as with all medications they do present other health risks. On the other hand, diet and exercise alone may not be enough to put high cholesterol in check. However, individuals taking cholesterol-lowering medications can greatly enhance overall results by incorporating a healthy diet and exercise routine into their daily life.
