For your mother's condition, making thoughtful adjustments to her diet can be quite benefitial. Begin by incorporating more fiber-rich foods like oats, legumes, fruits like apples and berries, and plenty of vegetables. These can help manage lipid levels by supporting digestion and reducing LDL cholesterol. Encourage her to eat smaller, regular meals to maintain balance in blood sugar levels, which has a positive effect on cholesterol.
When it comes to cooking oils, choose oils that are high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are known to improve cholesterol balance. Olive oil is a great option, thanks to its high monounsaturated fat content. Canola oil also works well as it's heart-friendly. You might want her to try sesame oil too, as it's revered in Ayurveda for its health benefits.
Suggest avoiding deep-fried foods and reducing fructose and refined sugar intake. These changes can limit liver strain, which might help with her SGOT levels too. Integrating spices like turmeric and ginger can support liver function and aid digestion.
While over-the-counter medicine isn't a substitute for personalized medical advice, you could consider Ayurvedic formulations such as Arjuna, which is known for its cardio-protective properties. However, it's critical to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner before starting any herb supplements, ensuring it aligns well with her constitution and overall health.
Additionally, encourage regular physical activity like brisk walking or yoga, to promote cardiovascular health.
It is essential for regularb follow-ups with a healthcare provider to monitor her condition and adjust the strategy as needed. If her cholesterol or liver enzymes continue to rise, further medical assessment would be necessary to rule out underlying health concerns.
