Cholesterol levels serve as crucial indicators of heart disease risk. While statins are often prescribed to lower cholesterol, they do not provide substantial improvements to arterial health or reduce the risk of heart disease significantly. It's important to note that artery-clogging cholesterol is found only in animal-based foods like meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy. By eliminating these foods from your diet and opting for starches and whole foods, you can effectively lower cholesterol levels and initiate the healing process for your arteries.
