However, right in your kitchen spice rack, there could be many spices and herbs to lower cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Your body needs some cholesterol to make hormones, vitamin D and digestive fluids, and helps for internal organs to function properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The normal cholesterol levels in your blood are- <strong>less than 200 mg\/dL (5.17 mmol\/L) <\/strong>is normal. A total cholesterol level of 200 to 239 mg\/dL (5.17 to 6.18 mmol\/L) is borderline high. A total cholesterol level of 240 mg\/dL (6.21 mmol\/L) or greater is high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If your blood cholesterol is slightly elevated and there is a history of high cholesterol, heart disease and stoke in your family, chances are you are looking to first try some natural ways reduce it before the problem gets so urgent that you must use dedicated drugs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Mother nature is kind enough to provide us organic natural choices that can be used, as was before the conventional drugs came into production.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Furthermore, those supplements handed over from generation to generation seem to have less side effects providing a pathway for effective and safer control of high cholesterol or the term we use hypercholesteremia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There are many alternative supplements that claim to lower your blood cholesterol. So, let us discuss those remedies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some of the remedies have been proven in scientific studies. Nevertheless, you should ask your family doctor before taking such alternate remedies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some studies reveal that your kitchen garlic may lower the total cholesterol level by a small percentage for a short period. Garlic contains sulphur containing compounds like allicin, may reduce blood cholesterol, among other benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Garlic may prolong bleeding and blood clotting time, and should not be taken before surgery, or with blood-thinning drugs such as Coumadin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">High fibre diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Taking a high fibre diet, or as a supplement can help lower overall cholesterol level, including your bad cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Some fibre supplements are psyllium, methylcellulose, wheat dextrin and calcium polycarbophil, and they lower blood cholesterol by binding to it in the small gut, preventing entering the bloodstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Fibre comes from plant foods like veggies, fruits, legumes, oat bran, barley flaxseed meals, apples, citrus fruits lentils and beans are effective in lowering your cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Whey protein obtained from milk-based protein from diary products taken in the powder form, or added to drinks, can lower your blood cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Plant Stanols &amp; Sterols<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">There are many plants, herbs, and seeds that we already use as food, such as teas, spices, and plant stanols that seem to block cholesterol absorption in the small gut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Let us talk about plant sterols and stanols. They are cholesterol like compounds that occur naturally in plant-based foods. Food sources of plant sterols and stanols are vegetable oils, legumes, breads cereals, nuts legumes and fruits. Phytosterols comprising plant sterols and plant stanols have been proven to lower LDL cholesterol concentrations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When eaten in the right amounts, plant sterols and stanols have been shown to lower blood cholesterol by up to 10-15% when combined with a healthy lifestyle. This is because they block the body\u2019s ability to absorb cholesterol, leading to lower levels of cholesterol in the blood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The Heart Foundation recommends eating two to three grams of plant sterols and stanols per day for cholesterol management. You can get some plant sterols and stanols by eating the foods listed above, however, to meet the two-to-three-gram requirement you would also need to eat foods that have been enriched with plant sterols and stanols for example table spreads.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Now let us talk about the herbs that lower cholesterol quickly. Nigella Sativa<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Studies has shown that Nigella sativa has both antioxidant and lipid lowering potentials. Clinical studies done in Isfahan city in Iran, with 88 participating subjects for 4 weeks showed reduction in total and LDL cholesterol<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Korean Red Ginseng: Apparently, this herb is also effective in improving lipid profile. Other examples of herbs that lower blood cholesterol levels include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum- graecum) Green Tea<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ocimum Basilicum Dandelion- leaf and root Flaxseed<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Ginger<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eugenol (Eugenia Jambolana) Psyllium<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Hawthorn<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If your cholesterol level is not too high, as mentioned earlier you could lower your cholesterol. However, if your cholesterol is high, results could be better with clinically proven conventional medicine plus these herbal supplements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nuts like Almonds and walnuts seem to lower your cholesterol. They have phytosterols structurally like cholesterol and help lower cholesterol by blocking its absorption in your gut.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">In an analysis of 25 studies, eating 2-3 servings of nuts per day decreased bad or LDL cholesterol by an average of 10.2 mg\/dl.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Fatty fish eaten regularly bolster heart health by increasing good HDL cholesterol and lowering inflammation and stroke risk, from the Omega-3 fatty acids.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eating lentils or dhal, beans and peas daily will lower your bad LDL cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">So, remember eating more lentils than rice when you next enjoy your rice and curry to lower your bad LDL cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">When it comes to fruits, avocados are exceptionally nutrient dense and clinical studies support the cholesterol \u2013 lowering effects.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Soy Foods<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Soybeans are a type of beans and analysis of 35 studies linked soy foods to reduced bad LDL and total cholesterol, as well as increased good HDL cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Vegetables<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Veggies are rich in fiber and antioxidants and low in calories, and some have high pectin, the same cholesterol-lowering soluble fiber that occurs in apples and oranges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Pectin veggies also include okra, eggplants, carrots and potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Dark leafy Greens, such as spinach, kale contain lutein and other carotenoids, seem to lower cholesterol levels by binding to bile acid and making your body excrete more cholesterol.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Eating red peppers and hot chilies have been shown to have lower levels of LDL cholesterol. Sri Lankans do enjoy lot of hot chilies in their rice and curry. So, eating red chilli may help you live longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The findings showed that consumption of hot red chilli peppers can lead to a 13 per cent reduction in total mortality, primarily in deaths due to heart disease or stroke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The principal component in chilli peppers is pungent agent capsaicin- the principal component in chilli peppers \u2013 may in part be responsible for the observed relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Olive oil is a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids, the kind that may help raise good HDL cholesterol and lower bad LDL cholesterol<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">High blood cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for heart disease, and by lowering your cholesterol numbers in your blood lowers that risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">If your blood cholesterol is slightly high, it is worthwhile sticking to natural remedies.
