Water alone can dramatically reduce cholesterol levels if consumed regularly and from quality sources. It has been proven that dehydration causes the blood to become acidic. When an acidic blood passes through the arteries it becomes even more concentrated and acidic causing tears in the lining of the arteries, leading to a dangerous condition characterized by embolisms of the brain, kidney and other organs. Drinking at least 8 glasses of pure mineral or filtered water on a daily basis can benefit your health not only in lowering cholesterol bin many other aspects such as cleansing and weight loss.

The chemical properties of herbal tea, and especially green tea as a research published in Harvard Women’s Health Watch reports, can seriously help in lowering cholesterol levels.
