Fish oil and cholesterol levels

January 20th, 2009

We hear all the time about people taking designer drugs to improve their cholesterol levels.  Sounds great, right?  Pop a pill and be happy.  I am not trying to make a hard statement on perscription drugs here, but what I will say is that diet can play a huge role in helping lower your cholesterol level.  One of the main ways to do so is increase the percentage of omega-3 fatty acids that you take.  Of course here, we talk a lot about finding the right fish oil dosage for you, but you can certainly start with your own diet.  Take that responsibility first.  Want to pop a pill, fish oil or perscription (obviously I prefer the natural remedy), fine, but also take some personal responsibility as well.
