It's great that you're embracing lifestyle changes as a first step to restoring optimal cholesterol and blood sugar levels. High cholesterol, elevated blood sugar and central abdominal weight gain often occur together and are early risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Clinical studies show it favourably alters cholesterol (lowering LDL and increasing HDL) and reduces rapid swings in blood sugar levels and insulin that lead to snacking. AdvertisementAnother excellent plant for reducing both cholesterol and blood sugar levels is Olive leaf (Olea europaea). For the desired reduction in cholesterol levels, take regularly for three to six months in combination with healthy eating and exercise.
