I have high cholesterol and triglyceride level in blood - #731

High cholesterol, triglycerides, and fatty liver can be pritty concerning, but the good news is Ayurveda does have some natural ways that might help manage these issues. Since you're opting out of allopathic meds, make sure to consult regularly with your doc about this approach, so you don't skip something crucial. Let's start with diet. Aghni (digestive fire) plays a big role here. You’ll want to favor foods that kindle a strong digestive fire and avoid those that dampen it. Opt for lighter meals, avoid oily and fried stuff like the plague, and cut back on sugar too—it's a sneaky source of high triglycerides. Focus on fresh vegetables, green leafy ones, and whole grains. Oats, barley, and even whole rice are really good. Include spices like turmeric, fenugreek, ginger, and garlic... not too much, just enough. Lifestyle tweaks can also help. Regular exercise — it's key. Even just a brisk walk for 30 minutes daily can be quite beneficial. Mediation and yoga, especially postures like Ardha Matsyendrasana and Kapalbhati (for those who can do it comfortably), contribute to balancing your doshas and improving metabolism. For herbal remedies, consider Triphala at night, about a teaspoon with warm water, it helps with cleansing the system. Arjuna is another herb that supports heart health and can be taken, usually in powder or capsule form, but do check its interaction if you already have other health conditions. Since this is kind of chronic condition, consistent effort over time is necessary. Keep in mind immediate or drastic changes aren't typical. Balance your efforts gradually, listen to your body, and definitely loop in your healthcare provider to monitor how these changes are working out for you. Small tweaks, big impacts, give it some time!
