This brochure provides tips on how to maintain a healthy cholesterol level naturally. Good and bad cholesterol Cholesterol is a fat, which occurs naturally in the body. In fact there is only one cholesterol, even though we talk about good and bad cholesterol. Because good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol) helps remove excess cholesterol from the body it is referred to as good. Bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol) transports cholesterol to all the cells in the body. What cells cannot use remains in the circulation and, if present in high amounts, can be deposited. Hence the name bad. Two thirds of all cholesterol is produced by the body, once third is derived from what we eat. As always, good health is your decision, i.e. by choosing a healthy and varied diet. 3
How do nutrients affect your health? 1. Red yeast rice helps maintain a healthy cholesterol level Red Yeast Rice is ordinary rice, which has been fermented. During this process the rice grains turn dark red and monacolin K is produced. Monacolin K helps maintain a healthy cholesterol level with a dose of 10 mg per day. 4
2. Omega-3 helps maintain healthy heart function The Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA help maintain healthy heart function, providing at least 250 mg is consumed daily. EPA and DHA are found in oily fish, seaweed and seafood. A daily food supplement is also a good alternative. 3. Folic acid with vitamins B 6 & B 12 help maintain a healthy homocysteine metabolism The normal metabolism of homocysteine is optimised in the body by 3 vitamins: folic acid, vitamin B 6 and vitamin B 12. Folic acid is found in, amongst others, spinach, sprouts or broccoli. Vitamin B 6 is found in, for example, fish, eggs, whole grains, brown rice or walnuts. Vitamin B 12 is found in fish, meat and dairy produce. 5
