FOOD AND HOMEOPATHY FOR HIGH CHOLESTEROL
Cholesterol is
a waxy substance found in the blood. The body needs cholesterol to build
healthy cells. But high levels of cholesterol can raise the risk of heart
disease.
With high cholesterol,
fats and other substances can build up in blood vessels called arteries. This
build up is called plaque. As more plaque forms over time, the arteries can
become narrowed or clogged. That makes it hard for enough blood to flow through
the arteries. Sometimes a piece of plaque can break loose and form a blood
clot. The clot may cause a heart attack or stroke.
High
cholesterol can be inherited, but it’s often the result of unhealthy lifestyle
choices, and thus preventable and treatable. A healthy diet, regular exercise
and homeopathy medicine can help lower it.
FOOD

powerful stuff for controlling many diseases including high levels of

substance called plant sterols. They are cholesterol busters. Other plants such

level in blood. A diet consists of 50 gm soya, 35 gm almonds, and 25 gm of
soluble fibers from oats and vegetables are ideal for controlling cholesterol.
