Rose Smith stared at her doctor in shock, repeating the words he’d just spoken out loud. “My total cholesterol is 280?” she said. “How is that possible?” Though high cholesterol ran in Rose’s family, it didn’t hold her back from indulging in the rich Southern delicacies she’d grown up with, from fried chicken and heavy casseroles to buttery biscuits. But now, it turned out, she’d been living blissfully unaware of the silent battle occurring in her veins.
When Rose’s doctor delivered the alarming news about her cholesterol, she knew she had to do something. She knew high cholesterol could increase her risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke— something she’d seen firsthand.
Her doctor recommended medication, but Rose preferred to find a natural way to reclaim her health.
I just need to find the right things to do and I can turn things around! Rose resolved.
A tasty remedy
Rose embarked on a quest for knowledge, devouring books and articles on nutrition and holistic health practices that could help bring her skyrocketing numbers in check. Through her research, a plan to lower her cholesterol without meds began to form.
