The Hippocrates health lifestyle is definitely a cholesterol lowering diet. By eating organic living foods, you will see the cholesterol numbers coming down.
In fact, so much so, that a blood test indicated this listener had 125, which is defined as low cholesterol on the charts: could this be a problem?
We asked Dr. Brian Clement, director of the Hippocrates Health Institute, this question and here’s his reply:
Number one if she’s on the right Hippocrates living food diet, her values will never get too low. You’re exactly where you should be. This is where those of us who have lived on raw foods for decades are. We are all below 150. 120 to 130 is very common, so Caroline is right in the bucket there.
He went on to explain that “normal” is based on averages, and with so many people having 300 cholesterol numbers, 200 became the average and was considered “fine”.
The Framingham Studies which are now on their 65th year introduced the whole concept of cholesterol and the effect and impact it has on the human anatomy and health. Literally they said that nobody has ever had a heart attack or stroke with a 150 general standard cholesterol reading.
So what you see with the raw living food diet – the cholesterol lowering diet – 150 or below, and what the epitomy of scientific biological research says are the same. Having cholesterol numbers of less than 150 is not only not low cholesterol, it’s very healthy.
Listen to Dr. Brian and please leave me any comments or questions.
