Natural Remedy For Lowering Bad Cholestrol...

I am not a doctor to ascertain this but based on my understanding, high cholesterol itself is not the critical factor to assess the risk of cardio vascular disease.

I think it’s important to look at HDL-C ratio i.e. High density lipoprotein vs Overall cholesterol ratio. The reason this ratio shouldn’t be overlooked is that HDL will be used as a mop to clear the LDL in the body. LDL is known to clog the arteries thereby reducing the blood intake to heart.

HDL can be naturally increased by cardio exercises like brisk walking, running, jogging etc. Also, Garlic with honey intake before breakfast is shown to improve the HDL-C ratio. That being said, diet plays a great role in balancing the overall ratio and it has been covered in good detail in the posts above.

Before embarking on Statin(medication) route, it is very important to tread carefully and see if life style changes can be incorporated as a first step. There are a number of possible side effects caused as a result of this medication and joint muscle pains is one of them.

CVD is the no1 killer in the world but fortunately the sooner we find any anomalies in the lipid profile, the greater control we have on our overall health.
