Cholesterol

Natural Remedies for High Cholesterol High cholesterol is a “silent killer” — it causes no pain, no symptoms, but every day it deposits plaques on artery walls, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. The good news is that diet and natural remedies can make a significant difference, especially for mildly to moderately elevated cholesterol. Our grandmothers, who ate garlic, walnuts, and oat porridge daily, had — without knowing it — an almost perfect dietary regimen for cardiovascular health. In nature’s pharmacy, we find scientifically validated ingredients that reduce “bad” cholesterol and increase “good” cholesterol. ...

Natural Remedies for Metabolic Syndrome IMPORTANT: Metabolic syndrome is a serious cluster of conditions that increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, heart attack and stroke.

It represents an imbalance of blood fats: too much bad cholesterol (LDL), too little good cholesterol (HDL), elevated triglycerides. The blood becomes, metaphorically speaking, “fattier,” and artery walls slowly narrow, invisibly, until one day a plaque ruptures and causes a crisis. The good news is that dyslipidemia responds exceptionally well to lifestyle changes and natural remedies. Romanian grandmothers, who ate oats, garlic, onions and artichoke tea daily, had, without knowing it, a complete pharmacy for lipids. Modern medicine has confirmed the value of these ingredients and added research on plants, supplements and special foods. ...
