Can Apple Pectin Help Reduce Cholesterol Levels?

August 4, 2014 By Darrell Miller

People with cholesterol levels higher than the desired levels of 200mg/dl should worry because too much cholesterol in the bloodstream makes one susceptible to coronary heart disease, cancer and a host of other problems.

How is high cholesterol detrimental to health?

Bad cholesterol (LDL) slowly gathers inside the arteries where it is oxidized resulting injury to the walls. To remedy the situation, white blood cells enter artery forming foam cells, which in turn attract calcium, forming an artheroma. The artheroma continues to grow and bulges in a bid to prevent blood flow. This might eventually cause it to rupture, forming blood clots, which is carried to the heart, causing heart attack and to the brain where it causes a stroke.

The process does not happen overnight and might even start at adolescence and so, everyone must see a doctor to learn about his or her cholesterol levels and avert the danger. It is not doomsday if you have higher than normal because you can undertake some measures to lower it and save your life.

Scientists have been hard at work trying to find a safe, accessible way for patients around the world to reduce cholesterol in their bodies. It has emerged that pectin in apples is the secret to low cholesterol. With such knowledge, people now strive to understand how it works.

How to use Apple Pectin for Weight loss:

Apple skin and pulp contain pectin, an essential nutriment that is rich in fiber. Nobody paid much attention to it in the past but recently, it has gained widespread acclaim for its ability to reduce cholesterol levels and most importantly, prevent the oxidation of bad cholesterol that is already in the bloodstream.

Besides lowering LDL, pectin fights dangerous bacteria that promote uneven cholesterol levels in the body. It also contains a variety of soluble fibers that maintain balance in intestinal levels, therefore preventing the onset of colon cancer.

This nutrient absorbs water to form a thick mass in the stomach that makes you feel full all day long. As this happens, your body will be able to utilize stored fats, including those that might be hiding the arterial walls. High metabolism ensures all fats are utilized, marginally reducing cholesterol levels.

It is advisable to take pure, raw apples to experience the full value of apple pectin but if this is not possible, you can use apple pectin powder or supplements for the same advantages. Experts argue that it will take two whole
apples to reduce high cholesterol by 10%, making it more practical to use supplements for faster results.

If you take foods rich in fats and are afraid of spiking your cholesterol levels much further, substitute the drinks you take to water down the meal with some apple juice to counter the effects of cholesterol. Pectin brings about more benefits besides cholesterol reduction, including helping people suffering from high blood pressure. If you establish a religious routine of taking apples, or apple pectin supplements, there will certainly be noticeable improvement to your health for richer, more fulfilling life.
