Lower Cholesterol

The advent of the millennium has brought us many luxuries. You don’t need to do much physical labor these days. However, these luxuries have also brought many problems in their wake. The absence or dearth of physical exercise has increased the level the cholesterol in our arteries which in turn has led to many problems like blood pressure, heart problems and even brain seizures. Many young people have had heart attacks in this century; a problem which was once attributed to old age! So, why has this happened? How does one lower cholesterol? Let’s have a look at these questions.

Cholesterol develops as a result of bad eating habits. Too much of fast and processed food, lack of physical exercise and stressful life style are all ingredients to the age old recipe of cholesterol. This deposits in the arteries as plaque and causes an obstruction in the blood flow. As a result, there is a dearth of oxygen in the heart and other vital organs which may lead to all sorts of diseases. Triglyceride — a type of fat in the blood that increases after you eat food can increase your risk of heart disease as they allow the bad cholesterol to enter the capillaries or small blood vessels where it can lodge.

How does one lower their cholesterol? The answer is not difficult to guess. The age old solution is optimal exercise, right eating habits and stress free life style. Exercise can help reduce the bad cholesterol or the HDL. This is because exercise metabolizes the proteins and carbohydrates in our body which are then converted into energy. As a result, the liver starts producing the good cholesterol or the HDL. This HDL lowers the bad cholesterol or the LDL levels.

Garlic can also help to lower your cholesterol levels by reducing the LDL levels naturally. Hence many people take garlic as a part of their daily diet. Vitamin E supplements also help in increasing the HDL levels and lowering cholesterol.

 

Thus age old methods of eating right and physical exercise can keep your triglycerides level low and help you have a great life
