I am only 24 and I have been diagnosed with High Cholesterol. I do not want to start taking any medication for this issue quite yet. I have not seen the specialist yet, but we all know that doctors like to put patients on medications. I am going to work on eatting better and exercising more often. Does anyone know of any sort of natural remedy for high cholesterol? I am going to start taking some omega-3 supplements, but just hoping there are other things that could help with this.

In the UK, we can buy drinks, yogurts and margarines with added plant sterols. You can also buy plant sterols as a food supplement. They can help reduce your cholesterol and have been used in Scandanavian countries for years.

Try "Red Yeast Rice" it was recommended by my doctor. It comes in capsule form and you can get it just about anywhere, I get mine from Walgreens.
