In the two types, known medically as cholesterol, the HDL that protects your heart from damage and bad cholesterol or low density lipoproteins (LDL) that increase the risk of suffering from heart problems. In practice, HDL also acts suppress LDL by sending it from the cells and blood vessels to the liver or liver.

In a study, experts found that low HDL levels associated with increased risk of memory decline. This influence came when, specifically in the blood levels of HDL cholesterol decreased in the age between 55 to 60 years in which this will increase the likelihood of having dementia up to 61 percent.

Good and bad cholesterol can actually be controlled with diet and exercise. Consume a little alcohol can also raise HDL levels, while eating whole grains and fish oil can help the production of good cholesterol.

Research which indicates the low HDL cholesterol at age 55 years increases the risk of dementia up to 27 percent compared to those with HDL-cholesterol was high.

People aged 60 years with low HDL levels have probably 53 percent of impaired memory. The researchers also found, the use of statin drugs to raise HDL or lower LDL cholesterol is not associated with memory disorders.

To lower cholesterol, which sometimes rise was not always have to take medicine the doctor prescribed. By simply doing a combination of supplementation and healthy lifestyle, it can be overcome cholesterol effectively, even as good as cholesterol-lowering drugs.

A recent study in the U.S. recently showed, Chinese red rice diet plus fish oil supplementation balanced counseling program, exercise, and relaxation were able to reduce levels of bad cholesterol (low density lipoprotein / LDL). Diet model is also more effective in weight loss.

According to a scientist, participants are people with high cholesterol diet through red rice and fish oil had lower LDL cholesterol 40 percent. This decrease was similar to patients taking the drug simvastatin 40 milligrams per day.

Not only that, participants of this diet and fish oil recorded an average decline of up to 10 pounds, or almost 5 pounds over 12 weeks. Meanwhile, those who took statins had only weight reduction is less than one pound.

Before you initiate this research, scientists are applying for the patients the risk of heart disease to follow a healthy lifestyle program for 13 years. “People have the same desire to use statins, and when they do cholesterol levels that fall may be only around 5 per cent”.

Then, he decided to do research after seeing many patients who are successful in lowering cholesterol, thanks to the red rice and the consumption of fish oil.

With permission from the state, the scientist and his team randomly selected 74 patients to be involved in the research. Participants divided into two groups, namely those who received medication simvastatin (Zocor) 40 mg per day along with printed information on lifestyle changes and the group treated with three capsules of fish oil plus 600 milligrams of red rice every day with the counseling program for 12 weeks.

LDL cholesterol was recorded decreases to 42.4 percent in the red rice group while 39.6 percent of the simvastatin group. Triglyceride levels showed no change in the group receiving statins, but the group of brown rice will drop to 29 percent, estimated the difference this decrease may be due to properties of fish oil. Participants in these red rice group lost weight recorded an average of 4.7 kilograms, while the statin group only 0.3 pounds.

Fermented red rice or also known as hong ku is also often used for treatment and as a spice in Asia for centuries.

According to research, brown rice contains a substance called monacolin-K, which is almost identical to the cholesterol-lowering drugs lovastatin (Mevacor), and several other types of monacolins that has benefits as anti-cholesterol.

If there is other research that supports the results of his research, these findings might offer an alternative for patients who have high cholesterol levels but do not want to take statins or can not tolerate medication.

However, he added, patients who have heart disease should be sentenced to fixed taking statins because these drugs have been shown to decrease mortality.

Scientists are also warned to not eat red rice vain. The results of an analysis of ConsumerLab found that the red rice products vary widely in terms of potential, and some of them were contaminated with toxic materials such as citrinin.
