Green tea is actually a component of several natural supplements that help lower cholesterol. Unlike a drug this will not lower it right away but then you don't have the hideous side effects of most drugs. Over 3-4 months green tea will have an impact on lowering cholesterol. It is not a panacea and does not get you off the hook from doing all the other things to have a healthy heart. It is part of a multi-faceted healthy preventive lifestyle so that you have never have to use drugs to stay alive. The human body is god's most marvelous creation and can heal itself if we just treat it right. Drinking green tea is one of the many things we can do to achieve that.

Double or triple the amount of anti-oxidants you consume daily as most of the degenerative diseases known to man are directly linked to free radicals and are largely preventable.

I have taken 5 different statins to lower my cholestrol. They all cause my legs to hurt. I am on low dose Crestor now, but I would love to get off totally, since it has the side effects.

My last cholestrol blood test... I was at 270. I hope it is lower. Stange thing is my parents neither one have had high cholestrol, neither have my siblings. I am 46 and suppose I have had it all my life. I walk daily, don't eat great, but really am starting to want to change my life. I am also have cronic insomnia, and would love nothing more than sleep!!! Drinking chamomile hot tea now, I could not find any green tea in the break room.
