Oftentimes, when the subject of high cholesterol is broached, it's common to consider the bad cholesterol concern is exclusive to overweight men. However, according to government statistics from NIDDIK (a part of the National Institutes of Health), overweight women are more susceptible to high cholesterol levels, to the point where bad cholesterol and its consequences, is now a bigger concern for them.

Fortunately, overweight women can combat bad cholesterol before it leads to bigger problems, such as heart disease or stroke. Mega-T® Plus, a dietary supplement designed specifically to promote both weight loss and to lower bad cholesterol, can help women achieve their weight loss goals while lowering bad cholesterol levels.

"The introduction of all-natural Mega-T Plus is great news for millions of women who struggle with their weight, but could also have bad cholesterol and would like to control both for better health," explains Alan Rosenberg, M.D., noted cardiologist at North Shore University Hospital in New York. "Mega-T Plus has a dual role: decreasing the absorption of cholesterol plus reducing weight by just taking one, drug-free product without side effects. And, it can be used in conjunction with statin cholesterol-reducing drugs."

Formulated to deliver the daily FDA recommended 800 mg of plant sterols to lower LDL bad cholesterol, Mega-T Plus boosts metabolism while burning fat and curbing appetite, helping users shed up to 20 pounds or more over a given period of time. When taken in conjunction with a healthy diet, the supplement acts as a catalyst to weight loss with none of the negative side effects that have become standard with other weight loss supplements.

Women looking to lower their levels of bad cholesterol while simultaneously losing weight should also consider the following tips:

* Eat steamed, boiled or baked vegetables. Deep-frying veggies or dressing them with cheese sauces or creams negates the positive effects they can have on a healthy diet.

* Exercise daily. Studies have shown that as little as 30 minutes of daily exercise can make a very positive impact on overall health.

* Make subtle dietary changes. A drastic overhaul of diet is typically unnecessary. Rather, subtle changes, such as choosing lowfat cuts of meat and including positive protein sources such as dried beans, lentils or split peas in your daily diet can greatly improve overall health.

Available nationally at drug, food and discount chains, Mega-T Plus can help overweight women reach optimal health while losing weight and lowering bad cholesterol.
