AYURVEDIC HOME CURES :: #Cholesterol cure - Cholesterol is a waxy substance, the synthesis of which takes place in all animal cells. Molecules called lipoproteins transport it in the blood. While you need cholesterol for the proper functioning of your body and construction of healthy cells, too much of it can be harmful as it leads to deposits of fat in your blood vessels, making you prone to cardiovascular diseases. However, there are Ayurveda remedies to deal with such situations.. It has been observed in recent studies that people with low blood cholesterol are as much at risk for atherosclerosis as those with high cholesterol. The reason behind this is that LDL gets converted into a toxic form of oxidized LDL due to the presence of oxygen free radicals in the blood, which is what makes it dangerous. And this can occur as much in the body of a person who has less cholesterol as the one whose cholesterol is high. How to control and prevent it? To tackle the harms of bad cholesterol, we have to intervene at the very genesis, blocking the toxic transformation of LDL. Having a healthy and disciplined lifestyle goes a long way as does the cures mentioned here. •Have fresh fruits and healthy grains like oats, dalia, and other sources of soluble fiber in your breakfast. •Consume fishes likes mackerel, salmon, herring and lake trout.
