High Cholesterol and COVID-19: What You Should Know Cholesterol, accumulated throughout the body, and measured by a simple blood test, reflects the healthfulness of one’s diet and is the most powerful indicator of your risk of developing and dying from heart disease and other serious chronic illnesses. Cholesterol is only found in substantial amounts in animal foods (meat, poultry, fish, eggs and dairy). Now, this diet-caused condition has been found to be a determining factor for hospitalization or dying from COVID-19. Overloading the body’s cells with cholesterol is an invitation allowing the deadly virus to invade. The McDougall Program has been proven to reduce blood cholesterol by 22mg/dL (0.6 IU) in 7 days, along with showing how these significant benefits were sustained over the next 12 months. |
