Top 3 Herbs For Cholesterol Management

It is not unusual to have high cholesterol level in your blood
It happens even to the best of us But if you suddenly find out
that you have high cholesterol you must immediately take action
This is called ‘Cholesterol Management’ It may seem a
pretentious notion, but it keeps you away from heart problems
Cholesterol management involves few simple rules for lowering
your cholesterol level: eat low fat (it doesn’t matter if it is
saturated fat or total fat, they are wrong nonetheless) foods;
lose weight; eat fruits and vegetables; grill your food instead
of frying it; and start being more physically active
Aside from these basic rules, there are some factors that can
help you with your cholesterol management action Research has
shown that nature is providing us with all the necessary
elements for a healthy life In this case, plants help reducing
cholesterol You don’t have to eat the entire garden; you just
need to keep in mind 3 herbs that are essential to cholesterol
management
1 Garlic Bulb
Garlic’s curing properties have been known for centuries as it
was used for treating different illness Garlic has a highly
concentrated content of organosulfur substances that can be also
found in vegetables like cauliflower, onion and broccoli But
garlic’s sulfur concentration is four times higher than other
vegetables’ Why is garlic good for managing your cholesterol?
Well, sulphur lowers the serum cholesterol level (LDL or bad
cholesterol) and raises HDL or good cholesterol It does this by
decreasing the clotting effects that are causing plaque
formation in blood vessels and arteries which are responsible
for the occurrence of heart disease and strokes In other words,
garlic is providing a good, healthy blood circulation
2 Alfalfa Herb
Latest research has shown that saponins in alfalfa seeds are
blocking the formation of atherosclerotic plaque which is being
caused by the accumulation on cholesterol in the blood vessels
Alfalfa seeds are attacking the low-density lipoprotein (LDL),
removing it from the blood and replacing it with high-density
lipoprotein (HDL) which is good for the human body However, you
must pay attention to the amount of alfalfa seeds you would be
using as consuming them in excess may cause damage to the red
blood cells
3 Capsicum Fruit
Everybody has eaten capsicum for at least once in his/her
lifetime as it is a spicy herb used for making salsa and chilli
It has been proven that the extract of this plant stimulates the
blood flow This means that capsicum extract is making the slow
and toxins-loaded circulation faster, determining the blood to
reach the far parts of the body that need oxygen and nutrients
It has the same favorable effect as garlic
These are the most important herbs to be used in cholesterol
management, but if you want to add some ‘spice’ in your life,
you can use: Ginseng, Turmeric, Cayenne, Aloe Vera, Saffron,
Dandelion, Burdock root, Red Clover blooms or Echinacea root
But remember consuming these herbs in excess can cause you side
effects so always consult a doctor before using them
