Cholesterol Levels: How Can I Reduce Them Naturally with Ayurveda? - #14819
I recently got my blood work done, and my doctor said my cholesterol levels are too high. They want me to start medication, but I really want to try a natural approach first. I’m not overweight, but my diet isn’t great—I eat a lot of fried food and sweets. Could that be the main reason my cholesterol levels are high? I also don’t exercise much, so maybe that’s playing a role too. I’m not sure if genetics has anything to do with it, but my father also has high cholesterol levels. I’ve been reading about Ayurveda and how it focuses on balancing the body through diet and herbs. Are there Ayurvedic herbs that actually help lower cholesterol levels? What foods should I eat more of, and which ones should I completely avoid? I heard that certain oils are better than others—is ghee safe to eat if I already have high cholesterol levels? If anyone has successfully lowered their cholesterol levels using Ayurveda, how long did it take? And what lifestyle changes made the biggest difference?
