According to a little known study, eating only 4 Brazil nuts per month significantly lowered, up to 20 points, serum LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). Some incredulous doctors state this is faster than drugs. But just that single serving, let’s say on the 1st of the month, kept the cholesterol down 5 days later… and even 30 days later. No one tested beyond the 30 days. But the fascinating thing is that people were not still eating Brazil nuts… just that one serving that one day.
Remember I said “incredulous” doctor… because when studies involve a small population – it isn’t always respected. But the more integrative doctors I know believe that when the scientific studies show SIGNIFICANT improvement and the action required is:
- Convenient
- Inexpensive
- Not showing adverse health effects (no liver or kidney issues due to high selenium)
Then they absolutely recommend their patients take the action. In this case eating just 4 Brazil nuts seems to lower serum LDL cholesterol and increase serum HDL cholesterol for 30 days. Easy, convenient, inexpensive action for a big result. I love easy steps toward health!
