When we think of having high cholesterol, the first thing that comes to our minds is to diet and exercise, right? Well, that idea would definitely make a change since the body will burn more body fat than usual. But if you go to the doctor and have your cholesterol checked, he would probably prescribe several medications that would combat your high body fats, and this would include statins. Actually, being prescribed with statins is already a given, as these drugs are the first choice in dealing with bad cholesterol. But, like most medicines available in the market nowadays, not everyone benefits from it. In fact, statins may be effective to you but not for your sister or mother. With this dilemma in mind, is there an alternative to statins for lowering cholesterol?
