Want your cholesterol numbers to go down?
Walk 20-30 minutes outside with a lot of your skin exposed to decent sunlight.
YOur body will convert cholesterol into vitamin D. Not only do you decrease cholesterol, you increase vitamin D, essential for your immune system to function properly and efficiently.
Everybody is unique. What works for some, might not for others. I did what you said and my results were different. It did lower overall cholesterol, HDL, but had no effect on LDL at all. So I switched to Vit D-3 @1000 iu, same results. Nothing I, or my Dr., has done has had a positive impact on my HDL being too low. It seems I'm stuck at 84x6 months now. I still take Vit D-3, since I have witnessed other improvements in my health that my Dr. attributes to it.
