To manage cholesterol levels effectively, it’s important to focus on dietary choices that support a balanced state of doshas, improve agni, and prevent excessive kapha accumulation. First and foremost, avoid foods high in unhealthy fats, such as fried foods, processed snacks, and too much red meat. These can contribute to elevated LDL cholesterol. Aim for a diet rich in whole grains, legumes, fresh fruits, and leafy vegetables, which help in reducing cholesterol and provide necessary fiber. Fiber helps to lower LDL cholesterol by binding to cholesterol particles in the digestive system and moving them out before they get absorbed into the bloodstream.
Include foods like oats, barley, bran, lentils, and fruits such as apples and pears in your diet. Walnuts and flaxseeds are also beneficial due to their omega-3 fatty acids content. For cooking, use olive oil or mustard oil — avoid ghee if cholesterol is high, unless it’s used in very moderate amounts for specific purposes. Moreover, consuming warm water with lemon first thing in the morning can help to detoxify the system.
When addressing hypertension without a family history, lifestyle adjustments become incredibly important. Regular physical activity, like a daily walk or yoga practices such as Shavasana or Pranayama, can naturally lower blood pressure. Breathing exercises help calm the mind and improve circulation. Limit salt intake and avoid caffeine.
Specific herbs used in Ayurveda such as Arjuna and Ashwagandha are known to support cardiovascular health and can be helpful to manage both cholesterol and blood pressure. However, they should be used under the guidance of a qualified practitioner who can customize the approach to your unique prakriti and health condition.
Keep in mind, in Ayurvada, balancing and maintaining your agni is considered essential for optimal health. Eat freshly cooked meals, avoid eating cold foods and drinks, and consider having smaller, more frequnt meals to not overburdon your digestve fire.
Should you notice any worsening symptoms or situtations where immediate action is needed, visiting a healthcare professional promptly is essential. While Ayurveda offers guidance on long-term management, certain scenarios may require urgent allopathic intervention. Always ensure treatments are safe, effective, and fit your individual needs.
