No cigarettes, alcohol and coffee If you use any of the above. Avoid deep fried food and take Vitamin E in a high dose. You will have to start off on a very low dose as the recommended 75 i.e.
Or 75 mg according to the W.H. O ( World Health Organization ) but after two days you can increase up to 200 mg and add another capsule until you reach up to 1000 mg. But do this only five times a week as the human body needs time to get rid of the extra amount of Vit E. Vitamin E works very slowy so you won’t have as much effect as someone who has been taken Vit E for a longer period of time.
But you should see some effect. And please get a decent balanced ’ Multi Vitamin’ product to go with the Vitamin E as you need a whole vitamin complex to absorb Vitamin E successfully. Your blood pressure will automatically go down as well.
Also avoid sodium in any form ( if you not familiar with this: you can find it written somewhere on nearly anything you buy ). Avoid MARGARINE ( use butter instead ) and cheap oils ( use native or also called ’cold pressed’ or ’fi pressed’ oils for cooking) and avoid chocolate ( as they contain ’unhealthy’ fat's ). http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/b/butter-margarine.htm And avoid, as strange as it seems,-Chicken!
The amount of fat in chicken is much higher than it was in 1960! Also, most animal fats contain unsaturated fats. These fats are responsible for high cholesterol, clocked up artery and heart attacks as a result.
http://www.weightlossforall.com/fat-content-chicken.htm http://www.health-report.co.uk/saturated_fats_health_benefits.htm Personally, I only eat butter ( and cook with it if I don’t use virgin oils, but don't deep fry with either! ) and my cholesterol is far BELOW the average. However, the need to lower your blood and cholesterol level tells me that you are in serious health trouble which will result ( sooner or later ) in a heart attack or worse...if you continue to way to eat as you do..! Telling you quite bluntly, YOU WOULD NOT BE IN THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW IF YOUR DIET WOULD HAVE BEEN HEALTHY OR ’MEDIOCRE’ HEALTHY.
You are also in a serious state of health that could cost your life, if you continue. :( I am sorry to tell you this, but that’s the truth! And if you don’t like my answer hit the abuse button.
But it won’t change the fact that you will suffer and die early if you don’t turn your life around...:( You should seriously turn around your way of living and avoid fast food and most breads as they contain high amounts of ’salt’ and other chemical ingredients which WILL lead to health problems. Gh blood pressure and high cholesterol are ONLY the first 'early' warning symptoms. Go and buy books to prepare your own meals ( start of with Gordon Ramsey books if you want as most of them are easy to understand and to follow.
And the foods okay in the matter of producing high cholesterol ). http://www.amazon.com/Gordon-Ramsays-Fast-Food-Ramsay/dp/1554700647/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&;s=books&qid=1264188210&sr=1-7 ( No worry, this isn’t about fast food. Just about how to prepare a ’ fast meal’ ) But please, don’t cook this meals all the time or pick out only the meals which appeal to you!
Another recommendation with guide lines is EARL MINDELL, he is one of the leading scientists in the world for nutrition. http://www.amazon.com/Earl-Mindells-New-Vitamin-Bible/dp/0446614092/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&;s=books&qid=1264188024&sr=1-1 But most of all you have to start doing some physical exercise to avoid further health problems. Build your own home gym and follow one of the Internet advertised exercises or join a gym.Do physical exercise at a minimum of 2 ( or better 3-5 ) times per week!
Your life is hanging on a thread at the moment and you have two choices..: find a fast ( but temporarily ) solution to you problem and never see your children and/or grand children growing up, or accept the reason for you life threat and change the way you eat and live to see your children and/or grandchildren growing up. But you HAVE to do something KNOW, and not just until your test or until the test results. And you have to be consistent to live healthy for the rest of your life... Once your cholesterol is down and you do a regular exercise you will still be able to eat the ( unhealthy ) food your want.
Once a week,- if you are good with your exercise. And who knows? You might like the diet food so much that you don’t want to eat any of the ’crap food ’any longer.
I say diet food as some diets can let you starve, while others have you struggle to eat the amount they ask you for. A certain diet can be more delicious as you can ever imagine. But you have to invest some time on your own to find the one that’s suitable for you.
What is right for me, might cause you digestive problems. And what’s right for you could give your best friend intestine cancer ( worst scenario ). But you have to do something now!
And it’s never to late to adjust the food you take inside your body. If you are a good cook yourself, start to avoid the things I have mentioned about and get Earl Mindell's Vitamin Bible from Amazon. If you never cooked or only know how to prepare unhealthy and life threatening food,---well, you have to do it the hard way and learn from scratch and might even consider to take a cooking course.
At the end of the day it’s up to you..It is your own life hanging already in the balance,- but it could hang on a tiny thread very soon... Them choice is up to you. And STOP searching for a WONDER PILL..( if you thought about it ) THERE IS NO SUCH THING! Good luck to you.
1) Stop worrying about it. One of the more entertaining ironies in medicine is how one's worry about lowering blood pressure, etc. Can worsen such stats by the act of worrying.2) Quit the caffeine and other toxins; consume citrus and legumes and begin having your intestines get a rest from the red meat.3) Exercise (bicycle, tennis, something not shredding your knees like running.) .
Trans Fats and Sodium... get it out of your diet I don't know how long it would take but knocking the following our of your diet works wonders... a. Hydrogenated oils (or partially hydrogenated oils) b. Margarine c.
Shortening d. Monoglycerides and Diglycerides All are "Trans Fats" and I believe very harmful to all of us. Ignore "0 Trans Fats!" on the label... it is BS often.
Read every ingredient. Don't buy or eat any foods that have these things. If a company has any foods with any of the above they are not health conscious and you should scrutinize any product they make.
Do the same with fast food places and restaraunts... research on line. McDonalds is a killer (except in NY where Trans Fats have been removed). Popeye's Chicken... ever wonder why it is so crunch?
Trans fat laced cooking oils... bad bad bad. Drop sodium levels as low as you can get them and this will help you also. Takie Magnesium and Potassium supplements.
Dropping sodium and taking the Mag and Potass supplements will make a faster change than anything.
1 Wish I could help. Unfortunately, I am in the same boat. Physically fit, not a bad diet, but still have high BP and cholesterol.
Bottom line is that the cholesterol is genetic. I suspect the BP is related to profession. Fear not, modern medication can keep both under control.
I know it sucks, but the reality is you have a choice, do nothing and probably die earlier than necessary or take a couple of pills each day.

2 I'm not sure you can lower cholesterol in a week . But eating healthy, getting plenty of exercise is always the best way to maintain good health. Avoid all animal products.
All animal products contain cholesterol. Eat only vegetables and fruits and grains, preferably whole grains and not white flour products. Oatmeal, whole grain cereal like cheerios or wheaties.
You can get away with non-fat milk, but no butter, cheese meats of any sort. If it comes from an animal it has cholesterol - just keep that in mind. Avoid sugars - exercise and meditate or prayer - in other words stress reducers will help with blood pressure.
Begin now. Remove sources of stress from your life. Learn to identify sources so that you can in the future find ways to avoid or overcome the source.
Seven days is a good start to getting on the eating healthy track. You may find that you've managed to break some unwanted habits in that time. Stick with it.
PS - just curious - what happens in one week?

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
