class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\"><span title=\"Je hoort het goed, bepaalde kruiden kunnen tijdens het eten inspelen op je cholesterol en deze verlagen.\">You can hear it properly, certain herbs can help you manage your cholesterolt.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Welke kruiden dit zijn, wordt tijdens deze 3e supertip toegelicht.\">Which herbs and foods these are, we explained in this super tip.<\/span><\/span><\/p><h3><span title=\"Knoflook\">Garlic<\/span><\/h3><p><span title=\"Een van de bekendste kruiden die bekend staat om zijn positieve bijdrage is knoflook.\">One of the most famous herbs known for its positive contribution to our well being is garlic.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Knoflook heeft vele positieve eigenschappen die goed werken op je gezondheid.\">Garlic has many positive qualities that work well on your health.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Het werkt ontstekingsremmend, bloeddrukverlagend en verlagend op je cholesterol.\">It works anti-inflammatory, lowers blood pressure and lowers your cholesterol.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Knoflook bestaat uit mineralen, antioxidanten en ontstekingsremmende eigenschappen, wat goed is voor je aderen.\">Garlic consists of minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, which is good for your veins.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Dit zorgt ervoor dat er minder schade op zal treden bij je aderwanden met als gevolg vermindering van littekenweefsel, waardoor je cholesterol niet snel zal oxideren en minder snel zal binden aan je aderwanden.\">This ensures that there will be less damage to your wall walls resulting in a reduction of scar tissue, so that your cholesterol will not oxidize quickly and will bind less to your wall walls.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Hebben de Fransen dan toch gelijk?.\">Are the French right?<\/span><\/p><h3><span title=\"Gember\">Ginger<\/span><\/h3><p><span title=\"Net als knoflook staat gember ook om zijn genezende effecten.\">Like garlic, ginger is also known for positive influence.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Al eeuwenlang staat gember bekend om zijn genezende effecten.\">Ginger has been known for its healing effects for centuries.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Natuurlijk moet elk middel, wat door ons lichaam wordt opgenomen, wel op wetenschappelijke basis bewezen worden, voordat we overtuigd zijn van de genezende werking.\">Of course, every remedy that is absorbed by our body must be proven on a scientific basis before we are convinced of the healing effect.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Gember is dan ook vaak wetenschappelijk getest.\">Ginger has been extensively researched.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Hieruit blijkt dat Gember op verschillende delen in ons lichaam het positieve naar boven brengt.\">This shows that Ginger brings out the positive in various parts of our body.<\/span><\/p><p><span title=\"In gember zit het gingerol.\">Gingerol is in ginger.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Gingerol is een van de voornaamste reden, wat ons hoge bloeddruk of een te hoog cholesterol kan verlagen.\">Gingerol is one of the main reasons, which can lower our high blood pressure or high cholesterol.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Gingerol geeft gember zijn pittige en bittere smaak.\">Gingerol gives ginger its spicy and bitter taste.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Gember werkt ontstekingsremmend, wat helpt bij je bloedsomverloop.\">Ginger works anti-inflammatory, which helps with your blood circulation.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Daarnaast heeft gember een ontgiftend effect op ons bloed, wat leidt tot het reinigen van je bloed, wat kan leiden tot vermindering van ophoping van vetten op de aderwanden.\">In addition, ginger has a detoxifying effect on our blood, which leads to the cleaning of your blood, which can lead to a reduction in the accumulation of fats on the walls of the veins.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Daarnaast heeft het een vochtafdrijvend effect, wat het vocht verwijdert dat wordt vastgehouden in ons lichaamsweefsel.\">In addition, it has a diuretic effect, which removes the moisture that is retained in our body tissue.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Dit reguleert het op peilhouden van een te hoge bloeddruk.\">This regulates maintaining a high blood pressure.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Neem bijvoorbeeld verse gember in je thee.\">Take, for example, fresh ginger in your tea.<\/span><\/p><h3><span title=\"Fenegriek\">Fenugreek<\/span><\/h3><p><span title=\"Misschien zegt dit je helemaal niks, maar fenegriek is net als gember en knoflook een hele oude bekende specerij, wat goed is voor ons lichaam.\">Maybe you never heard of this, but fenugreek, like ginger and garlic, is a very old familiar spice, which is good for our bodies.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"De romeinen gebruikte Fenegriek met de gedachte, dat ze sterker zouden worden.\">The Romans used Fenugreek with the idea that they would become stronger.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Nu zijn er verschillende testen uitgevoerd, waarbij bevestigd werd, dat Fenegriek helpt om de je cholesterol en bloedsuiker omlaag te brengen.\">Now several studies have been performed, confirming that Fenugreek helps to lower your cholesterol and blood sugar.<\/span><\/p><p><span title=\"Fenegriek staat bekend om zijn positieve eigenschappen om galzouten aan te maken, wat goed is voor je cholesterol en de lever.\">Fenugreek is known for its positive properties to make bile salts, which is good for your cholesterol and liver.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Cholesterol wordt namelijk aangemaakt in de lever, terwijl cholesterol in voeding een ondergeschikte rol speelt.\">Cholesterol is produced in the liver, while cholesterol in food plays a subordinate role.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Doordat galzouten worden aangemaakt door het fenegriek, is het cholesterol makkelijk verteerbaar, dat door de lever wordt aangemaakt.\">Because bile salts are produced by fenugreek, the cholesterol is easily digestible, which is produced by the liver.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Hierdoor heeft fenegriek een positief effect op de waardes van je cholesterol.\">This gives fenugreek a positive effect on the values \u200b\u200bof your cholesterol.<\/span><\/p><h3><span title=\"Olijfolie\">Olive oil<\/span><\/h3><p><span title=\"Er zit in de meeste plantaardige olie omega-6.\">There is omega-6 in most vegetable oil.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Dat is opzich positief, maar in ons huidige dieet hebben we veel teveel omega-6.\">That is positive in itself, but in our current diet we already have too much omega-6.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Wat ons lichaam mist zijn de omega-3 vetzuren.\">Our body needs the omega-3 fatty acids.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Nu zou je het niet denken, maar olijfolie bevat deze omega 3 en zelfs omega 9 vetzuren.\">Now you would not think so, but olive oil contains this omega 3 and even omega 9 fatty acids.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Enoliijfolie rijk aan het polyfenol Hydroxytyrsol.\">And olive oil rich in the polyphenol Hydroxytyrsol.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Inmiddels heeft wetenschappelijk onderzoek de positieve werking aangetoond.\">In the meantime, scientific research has shown positive effects.\u00a0<\/span><span title=\"Toch blijft omega-3 uit visolie en met name krill de beste bron van Omega-3.\">Nevertheless, omega-3 from fish oil and especially krill remains the best source of Omega-3.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Supertip #5 Excercise<\/strong><\/h2><p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3200 size-full alignleft\"

tabindex=\"-1\">During the fitter or with a healthier lifestyle, it is strongly recommended to\u00a0exercise. Lowering your cholesterol also has positive effects. Exercise ensures a better condition and bowel movements. If you exercise regularly, your muscles will burn more energy.

Scientific research has proven that during blood circulation the blood flow has a positive effect on the widening of your veins. This also held true. The result is that during intensive exercise, your blood circulation will be better and the veins will decrease.<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Supertip #6 Get enough rest<\/strong><\/h2><p><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\">If you do not take enough rest, you dont give your body time to restore itself. If you only sleep 4 hours in 2 days, this is soon to notice your cholesterol.\u00a0<span class=\"\">Almost half of all Dutch people do not have a sufficient night\u2019s sleep.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"\">A sufficient night\u2019s sleep is at least 7 to 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep.<\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span class=\"\">Sleeping leads to a restoration of our body.<\/span>\u00a0When you sleep, you make growth hormones. These growth hormones ensure the restoration of cells.\u00a0<span class=\"\">In addition to growth hormones, a good night\u2019s sleep also gives peace to your brain.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"\">These have to handle the daily events well, for that a good night\u2019s rest is necessary.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"\">Good sleep is also related to reducing stress.<\/span>\u00a0If you do not sleep enough, the thoughts will accumulate, and you can even contract chronic stress.\u00a0<span class=\"\">Stress is something you definitely want to avoid for yourself, but also for your cholesterol!<\/span><\/p><h2><strong>Supertip #7 Supplements<\/strong><\/h2><p>Todays\u00a0<span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" tabindex=\"-1\">industrially manufactured food lacks many vital substances that your body needs. Natural supplements help supplement this loss and support your body.
