Managing Cholesterol
The goal of this series of arti
cles and the goal of the
Health Restoration 101 pro
grams are to help you maxi
mize your chances of living a
longer, healthier life. Our
programs are simple, com
prehensive, well documented
and easy to follow. “A
Healthy Life Requires
Healthy Choices!
Today so many people
are taking drugs for high cho
lesterol, and having prob
lems, unpleasant side effects,
from those drugs.
High cholesterol causes
serious problems in and of
itself And taking the
drugs prescribed for high
cholesterol only makes the
situation much worse.
High Cholesterol is a
condition in which there is
too much cholesterol ( fat )
in the blood, making it thick,
sticky.
Cholesterol can build up
on the walls of arteries and
over time causing narrowing
of the arteries, hardening of
the arteries, and obstructs
blood flow as it takes vital
nutrients and oxygen to all
the parts of the body.
Foods high in saturated
fats, animal products; egg
yolks, meats, poultry, fish
and high fat milk products.
Trans fats, margarine, are
high in cholesterol and ought
to be avoided.
Scientists agree that an
intake of 300 mg or less per
day of the bad fats from ani
mal sources is best to avoid
cholesterol problems.
However, to lower
ones’ cholesterol is easy to
do, no complications and no
drugs. First, learn which
foods are high in the bad fats,
animal fats, and commit to
avoiding them. Then, eat
more salads, vegetables,
fruits, whole grains, enjoy
more raw foods.
Eat less meats and
chicken and increase the
consumption of foods high in
fiber, fresh foods, juices and
more water.
Add olive oil to your
cooking routine and skip the
other oils. Research shows
that people who eat fewer
meats enjoy better health.
Eat meat no more that once
per day.
Have a cold water fish 3
to 4 times per week. Not
fried. No French fries, no

butter, margarine, bacon,
sausage, no fried veggies, no
shell fish, no fried eggs,
milk, cheese, none of the
things that contribute to high
cholesterol.
Foods from plant
sources are cholesterol free.
After you get the hang of this
new way of eating, then you
are ready to accelerate your
progress by adding a supple
ment to your daily program.
Red yeast rice, Fish
Oil, Garlic, and ground flax
seeds, all have been proven
to help lower cholesterol.
Exercise daily and no smok
ing allowed. Manage stress
effectively.
All drugs are poison,
and have many side effects,
some more serious than the
illness for which the drug is
prescribed.
Cholesterol drugs can
cause muscle wasting, amne
sia, abdominal problems,
kidney failure, difficulty
breathing, swallowing, rash,
bleeding, changes in vision,
swelling of hands and face,
along with nerve and muscle
pain. And this is just the
beginning.
So, if you can avoid
taking drugs, and control or
reverse disease naturally you
will be much better off.

Coca-Cola Commits $30 Million to
Clean Water In Africa
The Coca-Cola
Company announced that it
has committed $30 million
over the next six years to pro
vide access to safe drinking
water to communities
throughout Africa through its
Replenish Africa Initiative
(RAIN).
“Africa's water cri
sis threatens the health of its
population and, therefore, its
prospects for economic
growth,” said Muhtar Kent,
President and CEO of The
Coca-Cola Company.
Helping African communi
ties tackle their water chal
lenges is an important priori
ty for our Company and our
bottling partners and is an
area where we can make a
positive and lasting impact.”
Between 2004 and
2015, the number of people
living without access to safe
water in sub-Saharan Africa
is expected to increase by 47
million people. Africa is
expected to miss the United
Nations' Millennium
Development Goals target
for access to clean drinking
water by 111 million people
and the sanitation target by
289 million.
“No single organization
can resolve Africa's develop
ment challenges, but together
with civic society, non
governmental organizations
and government we can
make a positive difference in
the lives of the people who
make up our communities,”
said William Asiko,
President of The Coca-Cola
Africa Foundation.
The Coca-Cola Africa
Foundation currently has
water projects in 19 African
countries - Angola, Egypt,
Ethiopia, Ghana, Cote d'
Ivoire, Kenya, Mali, Malawi,
Morocco, Mozambique,
Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda,
Senegal, South Africa,
Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda
and Zambia - reaching over
300,000 people.
These water projects are
all implemented in part
nership with local com
munities in each country.
