This review is from: The Everything Low Cholesterol Book: Reduce Your Risks And Ensure A Longer, Healthier Life (Everything (Health)) (Paperback)

After I got a high cholesterol reading, I started looking for ways to lower it naturally. By the time I got my next reading, my results were much better, but still high so I looked for a practical book about cholesterol and found The Everything Low Cholesterol Book.

Each chapter takes a certain aspect of dealing with cholesterol and explores it in depth. You learn what your test results mean and how to improve them in easy to follow practical ways.

There are chapters on weight management, getting active, stress management, chapters on all the different medications available, and even chapters on wonderful sounding recipes. I'm almost finished reading the book and when I am, I'll put it in the kitchen as a reference guide and cook book. It's very upbeat and leaves you in control of lowering your high numbers.

I highly recommend this book for anybody who wants a good overview of cholesterol that isn't so scientific you have to slog through it, but still educates the layman completely on the subject.

Comprehensive and concise, that doesn't happen very often. This book, in plain language, gives all the pertinent information, as well as the explanations of the info. And it does it in a fast and efficient manner.
