Tips to lower Cholesterol



  • Lose weight- obese people have higher risk of cholesterol imbalance. Losing as little as 2-4 kg of weight can also reduce considerable amount of cholesterol.
  • Avoid having saturated fats present in red meat and dairy products. They increase bad cholesterol. Maximum of only 10 percent of your daily calories should come from saturated fats.
  • Include healthier fats in your diet like leaner cuts of meat, low-fat dairy and monounsaturated fats that are present in olive, peanuts and canola oils.
  • Avoid intake of trans fats found in packed and fried foods such as cookies, crackers and cakes.
  • Eat whole grains- opt for grain breads, whole-wheat pasta, whole-wheat flour and brown rice.
  • Eat more fruits and vegetables. They provide dietary fiber which lowers cholesterol.
  • Have food items that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids- they lower cholesterol. Fish like salmon, mackerel and herring are good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Vegetarians can find omega-3 fatty acids in walnuts, almonds and ground flaxseeds.
  • Exercise daily- even if for 30 minutes. There is no alternative to this.
  • Quit smoking.
  • Limit your alcohol intake.

How to Reduce Weight Naturally?

Ayurveda advocates a realistic look at your body type when trying weight loss. It does not say to punish or devoid the body of its due nourishment ( as when we spend days together by just having three glasses of vegetable juice in a day). Ayurveda teaches to know one's body then bringing all its systems in synchronization. It guides the mind's and body's ability to regulate themselves by calming the nervous system, enhancing the digestive fires, and regulating the storage of energy and fat. The main things to do when trying for weight loss include-
Eating according to body type- foods that are complementary to your body type.
Exercising- not only body but also the mind (that is exactly what we do when doing Yoga)
Discipline in eating habits- right quantity of food at right time.
Strengthening the digestive capability through food habits and exercise.
Using herbs and home remedies for weight loss (instead of anti obesity drugs that suppress hunger)
