How to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood naturally?

Before knowing how to reduce cholesterol levels in the blood, we should understand how cholesterol works inside the body.

Cholesterol is a white sticky waxy substance found in the blood plasma. Whenever the inner wall of an artery is hurt or injured, the cholesterol patch heals it by covering the wound and healing it. This healing is not so perfect and slowly the deposit of the lipids leads to bumpy internal arterial structure (thrombus/plaque) which further leads to clogged arteries.

Although maintaining optimum cholesterol levels is important but more important is prevention of recurrent injuries to the internal arterial walls. Man's age is known by the age of his arteries. Arteries die or age out by the process called Atherosclerosis i.e. deposition of fats inside the arteries leading to their blockage.

According to Ayurveda Cholesterol is a raw material made by our own body to heal the arteries. If there are more injuries, body needs more healing material. So there is elevation of cholesterol levels.

Therefore the culprit of artery aging or blockages is not the cholesterol but the injuries being caused by free radicals inside the arterial walls. There prevention from these injuries is very important to prevent clogging in the arteries and elevation of cholesterol levels.

What causes injuries inside the arterial walls?

Behavior and attitude - THE TIGER OF STRESS

Our attitude and behavior has very important role to play in leading a normal healthy life. Positive attitude and good behavior leads to happy, healthy and longer life. Keep negative feelings away from your mind is very important to maintain physical, mental, social, financial and spiritual health. Imbalance in any of these healths leads to imbalance of the other health. The balance can be maintained only by forgiving attitude, positive attitude.

If there are feelings of hatred, anger, jealousy, discontentment, too many jobs and works in mind at a time, stressful lifestyle there is generation of free radicals in the body. This stress leads to constant eruption of "adrenaline and Cortisol volcano" from our kidneys. These 2 hormones increase Blood pressure and Sugar levels and disturb the harmony of all systems inside the body, including the mental balance.

Stress is the leading cause of imbalance now. About 5,000 years ago, Suppose you are in a jungle and a tiger comes in front and this is a very stressful situation.

In stressful situation, the muscles, brains, heart need blood, oxygen, nutrition, glucose / energy.
The blood provides all nutrition/ glucose, oxygen to these important organs needed to fight the tiger or even if you decide to run way, still these organs need most of the energy.

All this comes from the non-vital organs which are not needed to fight the stress. These non-vital organs at that time are - Digestive system, reproductive system, skin, Bone marrow and excretory system.

Nowadays, the Tiger is permanent in our lives. The tiger of financial matters, relationships, future thoughts, career is the Tiger which is always there standing in front of us. It never goes away and we can't even run away from it.

The stress hormones - Cortisol and Adrenaline are being pumped all the time in our body by the kidneys to fight this present day Tiger.

The organs - heart, brain, muscles are always consuming oxygen. Palpitations, blood pressure, insomnia, restlessness, anxiety, muscle stiffness, fatigue, high sugar levels (diabetes), hair loss, skin diseases, wrinkles are the symptoms of too much burden on these organs but this Tiger never goes away.

The non-vital organs like Digestive system, excretory system, Skin, Reproductive system are not getting enough oxygen, enough nutrients, enough blood supply to maintain their normal functions. These organs start to fail. The gastric ulcers, flatulence, constipation, IBS, Ulcertative colitis, Psoriasis, skin problems, urea, creatinine, cholesterol, Erectile dysfunction, Ovarian cysts, fibroids, Irregular menstruation, Infertility, Low Sperm count are the outcome of continuous presence of this Tiger in our lives today.
