I was talking with a buddy last week. He was telling me his dad went in for a routine blood test to check on his cholesterol levels. Now, his dad's in good health. But he's in his early 60s, so it's important for him to stay on top of things like his cholesterol. After the test, the doctor told his dad that his levels were a bit high and he was given a prescription. My buddy was furious. Not because the doctor gave his dad a prescription, but because of what he didn't do. The doctor didn't give his dad advice on how to eat better. There were no recommendations on how to manage his stress levels. And he didn't say a peep about how much exercise he should get. Unfortunately, this doesn't surprise me. As much as I think we're making progress to get the high quality healthcare we deserve, I continue to hear disappointing stories like this. Now, before I dive a bit deeper here, let's set one thing straight - I'm not a doctor, and I always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. You really need to be an advocate for your own health. But you and I both know, there's a time and a place for prescriptions, and there's a time for a more holistic approach to our health. So, let's talk about cholesterol. It's like that sneaky saboteur that invades our bodies without us even realizing it. High cholesterol can lead to a laundry list of health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and even impotence (yeah, I said it). It's not a joke. It's not something you should ignore. But here's the real kicker, folks. We've become a society that relies heavily on prescription medications to manage our cholesterol levels. Now, I'm not knocking doctors or meds; they absolutely have their place. But I always want to be careful that any medication we need is for our own good, and not to line the pockets of Big Pharma. I've been there; I know what it's like to feel like your health doesn't matter. I've faced the harsh reality that being a black man can sometimes feel like we're just a number. We're not seen as an individual deserving of care and attention... But I refuse to accept that. You should too. I believe in the power of natural solutions. I trust in God's gifts that grow from the earth. There's an abundance of superfoods and herbs out there that can help us manage our cholesterol naturally.
