Lower cholesterol naturally by way of organic
supplementation is the way to possibly decrease your
chances of a heart attack or other heart ailments. In this
article, I uncover a potentially promising way to
accumulate more knowledge in regards to non-meditative
methods to reduce LDL cholesterol levels in the blood. In
this article, I reveal what the definition of cholesterol,
symptoms of high cholesterol and natural methods to
possibly lower cholesterol.
What Is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fat like, waxy substance made in the liver
and found in certain foods, such as dairy products ( whole
milk), eggs, and meat. The human body needs some
cholesterol to carry out normal functions. Cell walls,
hormones, and bile acids all have cholesterol as a
component. If the body has too much cholesterol it may
lead to health problems such as coronary heart disease. An
actual protein is attached to cholesterol. This
cholesterol protein is called a lipoprotein. These
lipoproteins are either high density or lower density
depending on how much protein there is in relation to fat.
Below Are The Different Types Of Cholesterol
-Triglycerides are a type of fat that is carried in the
blood by very low-density lipoproteins. Sugar and/or
alcohol can be converted into triglycerides and stored in
fat cells throughout the body.
-Low-density lipoproteins (LDL). LDL also called bad
cholesterol can cause a buildup of plaque on the walls of
arteries. The more LDL levels there are in the blood, the
greater the risk for heart disease. Plaque is when too
much cholesterol is present and may form in the body's
arteries thereby narrowing the space for blood to flow to
the heart. Over a period of time this buildup can
potentially cause arteriosclerosis, which can lead to heart
disease.
-High-density lipoproteins (HDL). HDL also called the good
cholesterol helps the body get rid of bad cholesterol in
the blood. .
-Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) are similar to LDL
cholesterol in that it contains mostly fat and not much
protein. Symptoms Of Cholesterol
There are rarely if any symptoms of high cholesterol, other
than a check up by the doctor or succumbing to all illness
that occurred from the high cholesterol levels. Xanthomas
can form halo like circles around the eyeball itself in
some of those who have high cholesterol.
-Lower Cholesterol Naturally-
There are plant sterols that through research have been
shown to lower cholesterol naturally. These plant sterols
are found in the organic substance soy. These sterols are
phytosterols are is small quantities in soy. As a result,
it would take a person to eat very large portions of soy to
get the amount adequate to reduce cholesterol level. After
these phytosterols are consumed the body then readily
absorbs them. In contrast, if you've ingested animal fats,
the body eliminates the cholesterol from these fats. Our
bodies will accept then absorb the plant sterols and at the
same time eliminate the LDL cholesterol from the body. If
we could only extract these plant sterols in larger
quantities for consumption, we could possibly lower our LDL
cholesterol levels.
