What is hypertriglyceridemia and how can Ayurveda help regulate cholesterol levels? - #16672
During my routine check-up, I was told that my triglyceride levels were higher than normal, and the doctor diagnosed me with hypertriglyceridemia. I was a bit worried because high triglycerides are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and pancreatitis. The doctor recommended medication to lower my triglyceride levels, but I’m interested in exploring more natural ways to manage this condition and maintain heart health. I’ve read that hypertriglyceridemia is often caused by poor diet, obesity, and lack of physical activity, and I’m curious if Ayurveda has a different approach to managing high triglyceride levels. How does Ayurveda view cholesterol imbalances, and are there any herbal remedies or lifestyle changes that can help lower triglycerides and improve heart health? I’ve heard that Triphala, Guggulu, and Turmeric are commonly recommended for reducing cholesterol levels and supporting cardiovascular health. How do these herbs help with hypertriglyceridemia, and what other Ayurvedic practices can help improve blood lipid profiles? If anyone has successfully managed hypertriglyceridemia or high cholesterol using Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to hear your experience and what worked for you.
