Do you have high cholesterol? <\/p>\nDo you have high cholesterol? <\/p>\n
If so, the chances are your doctor has pushed you into taking a crazy amount of drugs to try and reduce the damage, right? <\/p>\n
Well, what your doctor probably didn\u2019t tell you or go into detail about is that these medicines are dangerous and come with a whole host of side effects.<\/p>\n
A new study, from The Women\u2019s Health Initiative<\/em>, has proved doctors wrong \u2013 it is possible to treat and even cure high cholesterol naturally without those drugs; and all you have to do is start taking this one common vitamin.<\/p>\n Vitamin D is well known for treating weak bones, but now it has been identified as a way of controlling cholesterol as well. <\/p>\n In the study published in the journal Menopause<\/em>, researchers focused on a group of 576 women, all of whom were postmenopausal. They were divided into two groups. One group was administered a daily dose of 400 units of Vitamin D along with 1000 milligrams of calcium while the other group was given a placebo.<\/p>\n At the end of the study, researchers found there was a significant rise in the level of vitamin D in blood serum. This included a corresponding small but significant drop in the \u2018bad\u2019 LDL cholesterol and a rise in \u2018good\u2019 HDL.<\/p>\n The best way to get your daily requirement of Vitamin D is to go and get some sunlight! 15-30 minutes of daily sunlight is all you need.<\/p>\n
