LOWER CHOLESTEROL LEVEL NATURALLY

Grapefruit and celery are among the best natural foods
for reducing arterial deposits build-up, while strengthening
and maintaining the elasticity of arteries.

Among their combined health benefits:
- Reduces blood acidity
- Helps lower and regulate cholesterol level
- Suitable for diabetics in regulating blood sugar level
- Helps reduce fever
- Promotes good sleep
- Reduces starch and sugar in the body, making it
ideal for weight-loss

NOTE:
If you’re on any medication, DO NOT consume grapefruit
or its juice as it may interfere with the metabolism of
the drugs.

 Juice Recipe:
- 1 grapefruit
- 2 ribs celery
- ¼ lemon
- ½-inch ginger (optional)


-Celery reduces LDL cholesterol and gives elasticity
of the arteries, which significantly prevent the
atherosclerosis, heart attacks and other cardiovascular
diseases. According to researchers at the University of
Chicago, celery reduces cholesterol levels by as much as
7 points with as little as 2 stalks a day. -Apple lowers
cholesterol even to 40% if it used regularly.

The Lipitor-Grapefruit Interaction
Grapefruit products are believed to interfere with an
enzyme your body uses to break down Lipitor. This
means that the drug stays in your body longer when
it interacts with grapefruit. In fact, clinical studies
have shown that grapefruit can significantly increase
the levels of Lipitor in a person's blood.

In one study, drug levels increased by 83 percent
in those who drank grapefruit juice three times a
day compared to the people who only drank water.





Recommendations
If you are taking Lipitor, you should not:

Drink grapefruit juice
Eat grapefruit
Use grapefruit supplements.

Doing any of these things can increase the levels
of medication in your blood. This can increase your
chances of developing serious muscle problems
(myopathy or rhabdomyolysis) that can lead to
kidney failure and other life-threatening complications. 

If you are currently on Lipitor and want to continue
eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice, talk to
your doctor about other Lipitor alternatives. Several
cholesterol drugs do not seem to interact with grapefruit.
For example, Crestor® (rosuvastatin calcium) does not
appear to have any negative interactions with grapefruit
products .
