Natural Treatment for High Cholesterol
Similar to fat, cholesterol is a substance that can be found in the cell membranes of all body tissues and is transported through the blood plasma. There is bad cholesterol and good cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is called low density lipoprotein or LDL which deposits cholesterol in the artery walls and thickening them.
This is a key cause of heart disease. On the other hand, good cholesterol or high density lipoprotein (HDL) helps to keep the arteries healthy by clearing cholesterol out of the system. Immediate treatment is critically required when the levels of bad cholesterol in the body are high.
It is suggested that HDL levels should be around 60 mg/dL and LDL cholesterol levels should be around 130 mg/dL. If your HDL level is less than 40 mg, there will be greater chances to suffer from coronary artery disease. A diet rich in saturated and trans-fats and low in beneficial fats (mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated) can lead to high LDL levels. Lack of exercise and other poor dietary habits like smoking and drinking large amounts of alcohol are all dangerous factors.
These are lifestyle habits which need to be altered in the treatment of high cholesterol. A diet full of fruits and fiber and low in fat is effective to maintain low cholesterol. It should be low in saturated fat, higher in mono-unsaturated fats and rich in Omega 3, thus raising the levels of good cholesterol and lowering bad cholesterol.
