Halved in 27 Days...

I had my check up at Dungun Hospital yesterday.

On 3rd October 2013, my results were as follows:-
Total Cholesterol was at 7.0 mmol/L
LDL Cholesterol was at 5.2 mmol/L

Now it is...
Total Cholesterol is at 4.2 mmol/L
LDL Cholesterol is at 2.6 mmol/L

If you wanna know what the numbers mean, have a look HERE.

I am very surprised at the results. Thinking back it's probably due to my diet... I was like a horse for the 27 days... no, it was not due to the quantity I ate... It was what I ate... I was eating oats twice a day for most days. 

I also think it had to do with the fact that I was on 75gms of aspirins daily throughout that duration. Aspirins work as inhibitors (inhibiting clots), thus thinning your blood and increasing blood flow. There was an article I read about traditional ways to reduce cholesterol by using Black Wood Ear fungus. The article is here...

I actually have the ingredients bought but never got the chance to use it yet. The fungus works as inhibitors as well. I have friends who also told me that they used this recipe with success.

Therefore, it is my personal opinion that oats and the inhibitors worked together in bringing my levels down fast. How? I have no freaking idea... probably the inhibitors made the blood more fluid thus making it easier to absorb and transport the fibre from the oats to cleanse the arteries. That's just my 2 sen...

For those of you who have high cholesterol, no harm trying...
