Well natural treatments for high cholesterol are really things that you can do despite things like genetics, or where you started from. And what I would say is that you want to be able to, you can lower cholesterol simply by getting onto a good exercise program, because an active lifestyle actually helps to lower cholesterol.
The other thing to do is to eat less. So if you actually take whatever you normally eat and cut it by a third. Just remove a third from the plate that you normally fill up. You are actually going to also be able to lower the intake of things that would contribute to your fat intake, and the third thing is to choose your food wisely.
My choice it starts in the grocery store. So if you are trying to buy your snacks in the fruits and vegetables section, rather than the processed food sections, you're almost certainly going to get snacks that are going to be low in fat and also potentially help to lower your cholesterol.
