Cholesterol? Is it THAT bad?

A cousin of mine gonna go through a brain surgery tomorrow because of brain hemorrhage. I am super worried. Inshaa-Allah everthing is gonna be fine. Amiin...

Well, brain hemorrhage is when there are bleeding on the brain due to the leaking of the blood vessels in the brain. The bleeding may harm the brain because it may kill the brain cells. This is due to the swelling of the blood vessels because of the plaque in the vessels narrowing the bloodstream passage and cause high blood pressure or hypertension and swelling of the blood vessels.

The plaque is formed from the excessive cholesterol in the body. Remember, cholesterol is not only from our diet but our body also produces cholesterol. This is why taking care of you food habit and life style is really important. Please exercise regularly and it's better to take additional supplements in our diet, especially Omega-3 and antioxidants which may helps in reducing the cholesterol level in our body.

The cholesterol plaque is formed when free radicals are combined whit the bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Antioxidants such as French pine bark, Vitamin C and OPCs helps in neutralizing the free radical in the body and preventing the plaque formation because French pine bark helps the body to utilize vitamin C 20 times better before vitamin C is flushed out from the body because it is a water-soluble vitamin  50 times better utilization of vitamin E in the body. Therefore MORE AND MORE free radicals can be neutralize! Masquelier's French Pine Bark is a very good antioxidants supplements since it combines with grapeseed extract which are high in OPCs.

Omega-3 may decrease high triglyceride levels and increase the level of the good cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL may act like a boat to LDL where HDL may bring out the LDL out from tour body. Fish oil supplements is a good idea but before you purchase any fish oil supplements, make sure that it is molecularly distilled to prevent any mercury or PCBs toxicity. This Double Strength Fish Oil from GNC LiveWell is a very good example of Omega-3 supplements and REALLY worth your money.
