Ayurvedic Diet Tips for lowering Cholesterol Naturally




Ayurvedic medicine is one of the ancient medical systems based on the natural understanding of Mind heart and body. From Ayurveda’s perspective, Cholesterol isn’t bad, it is actually essential for the body to function smoothly until it is in a balanced amount. There are two types of Cholesterol namely Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL).

Ayurveda says cholesterol is good until you have HDL in a high amount as it is good cholesterol and it acts as a protective shield. But on the other hand, LDL is known as bad cholesterol which is a thick substance that would build up in the arteries and leads to blockage of arteries which eventually turns to heart blockage and heart attack.
