A health expert has shared his top tip for managing cholesterol levels - and it's all down to a specific vitamin
A health expert has revealed the 'absolute best' solution for maintaining cholesterol levels. Dr Eric Berg DC, who is renowned for his expertise in healthy keto and intermittent fasting, spilled the secrets in a YouTube video, claiming a certain vitamin could play a pivotal role in cholesterol management.
It appears probiotics mixed with fibre could be potential cholesterol-busters, with some studies backing this notion. According to Dr Berg's findings as reported by Surrey Live, fibre boosts your microbes, leading to the production of those crucial bile salts.Dr Berg went on to reveal that the best remedy for slashing cholesterol is niacin, or vitamin B3.
You can take niacin in moderate to high doses, typically 1000 to 3000 mg daily, but always consult with your GP first. Side effects may include flushing, red face or neck, diarrhoea, headache, upset stomach, and skin rash. Foods rich in niacin and other foods to lower cholesterol can be enjoyed as part of their diet or as supplements. However, it's important to seek advice from a healthcare professional if they have any health issues or are currently on medication.
He further argued that traditional cholesterol levels might not be the best heart health indicator, suggesting, "Cholesterol isn't a good indicator of heart problems. A much better test is a CAC test."
