Cooper to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Controlling Cholesterol the Natural Way"Browse more products related to "Kenneth H. Cooper"Publisher's notePure vegetable derivatives, plant stanols, are clinically proven to reduce bad cholesterol while raising good cholesterol in as little three weeks. They are completely natural. These derivatives are the foundation for Cooper's new plan, and they'll hit the market in Summer '99. Cooper's guide will answer all consumer questions, including: -- The latest research results, including studies conducted at The Mayo Clinic and others -- How to incorporate plant stanols into a cholesterol-lowering lifestyle, with expert advice on meals, diet, end exercise -- Information regarding unique problems faced by women -- Why regular, moderate exercise is still vital -- Advice on how low cholesterol levels should go, and whether people with normal cholesterol levels should be treated AnnotationSince high cholesterol was first recognized as a serious health risk, several efficient means of balancing and adjusting the lipid blood profile have been discovered. Here, Dr. Kenneth Cooper (author of 1988's CONTROLLING CHOLESTEROL) focuses on how to lower LDL cholesterol (bad) and balance it out with HDL cholesterol (good) via the twin pillars of exercise and diet. Cooper's strategy is the use of "functional foods," LDL-lowering edibles including bran buds, oatmeal, flaxseed, garlic, green tea, carrots, soy, and margarine-like spreads such as Benecol. Those readers already trembling at the thought of giving up their favorite foods can stop worrying; the book includes recipes that are ideal for getting your cholesterol under control. Grilled chicken, bran muffins, three-bean salad, oatmeal pancakes, chili lime spread, and various pastas are all on the menu. Alternatives, such as statin drugs (HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) are also discussed, along with their side effects. Concerned readers should take heart: according to Cooper, if his dietary and exercise regimen is closely adhered to, even the most lopsided of lipid profiles can be harmoniously balanced, often in a matter of weeks.
