It's no surprise that modern technology is playing havoc with our health and Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs) from appliances such as microwaves, mobiles, smart TVs, smart meters and baby monitors are a silent, invisible source of stress on our bodies. The EMFs from mobiles, for instance, may interfere with your body's central nervous system and may disrupt sleep patterns, immune system function, hormone production (including your thyroid) and may even affect fertility. The most recent research from The World Health Organisation was way back in 2011! At that time, WHO stated that the electromagnetic fields produced by mobile phones are possibly carcinogenic to humans - no wonder there's not been any further research. But with little research, we're not all about to throw our 5 billion mobiles...

Stress can play a big part in elevated cholesterol levels.  Sometimes you may not even be aware that you're stressed.  This the tricky part because if you don't realise when you're in "flight or fight" syndrome, you can't do anything to stop your body releasing cortisol (via your cholesterol) into your bloodstream. If your stress remains constant then your liver has to make additional cholesterol in order to produce more cortisol (in response to the stress) thus raising your cholesterol levels. So how can you manage this stress response? Exercise.  A study published by Research Quarterly for Exercise investigated the effects of regular exercise on cholesterol levels with 20 men over 20 consecutive years.   As little as 30 minutes of exercise three times a week was enough...

If you've received a high cholesterol reading, a good place to start is with your diet.   Here are some tips to bring down your low density lipoproteins "LDLs" (the "bad fats" that, in excess, can stick to your blood vessel walls) and to increase your high density lipoproteins "HDLs" (the "good fats" that keep your blood vessels clear): Cut down on saturated animal fats.  As you probably already know, it's important to decrease saturated animal fats such as butter, milk, cheese, ice cream, chocolate and fatty red meats. However, when you eliminate animal fats from your diet you need to add unsaturated vegetable fats in their place, otherwise you will create more problems for your liver. If you love cheese, choose the "white" cheeses like fetta, ricotta...

As we need vitamins and minerals for our bodies to work, it makes perfect sense that refined sugar is not good for our health.  Recently the World Health Organisation recommended that for optimal health we should restrict our added sugar to just 25 grams or 6 teaspoons a day.
