0:00.0 | Let's talk about the best carbohydrate that can actually help you lower your cholesterol. |
0:05.2 | Now, in some cases, cholesterol is not a problem if it's a little bit higher, especially when you're |
0:09.8 | starting the ketogenic diet because you're mobilizing a lot of cholesterol from the fat cell. |
0:13.7 | But let's say, for example, your LDL, especially the one that is pathogenic, the small dense |
0:19.3 | lipoprotein is too high, or you just have very high levels of cholesterol, and you want to lower |
0:25.1 | naturally, what do you do? There's one specific food that can help you, but I want to give you |
0:31.3 | just a tiny bit of background before I reveal that food. The first thing to know is that your |
0:37.4 | body makes cholesterol. In fact, it makes way more cholesterol than the cholesterol that you consume. |
0:44.4 | Number two, the primary mode of elimination of excess cholesterol happens through your |
0:52.8 | bile ducts with the help of bile salts. Bile salts are like detergents. They help you break down |
0:58.2 | fats. They help lubricate the colon. So if you don't have enough bile, you can get constipated, |
1:06.4 | and just being constipated can back up the flow of this excess cholesterol. Your liver makes bile, |
1:12.0 | it's stored in the gallbladder, and bile can help to bind to cholesterol and then help move |
1:18.3 | out of the body, and it also gets rid of toxins as well. And there's two types of bile. You have |
1:25.3 | primary, and you have secondary. Primary bile is made by your liver. Secondary bile is made |
1:32.6 | by the friendly bacteria in your large intestine, and they're both in communication very closely |
1:41.0 | in their regulation. So for example, if you don't make as much in your colon, |
1:46.4 | then the liver is going to make a little bit more. If you don't make as much in your liver, |
1:50.4 | the colon should make a little bit more. They both are in communication. The next question is, |
1:55.4 | what carbohydrate can help you reduce your cholesterol? Because typically carbohydrates will |
2:01.8 | increase your cholesterol. Like sugar, for example, you'll end up with high, not just cholesterol, |
2:07.6 | but high LDL, high triglycerides. But there are three types of carbohydrates, sugars, starches, |
