Ayurvedic Treatments to Reduce Cholesterol
The word “sterol” denotes one of a group of steroid alcohols. The most important sterols are “cholesterol” and “ergosterol”. Cholesterol is a fat like material (a sterol) present in the blood and most tissues. Cholesterol is also constituent of gall stones. It is a soft, waxy substance found in all body’s cells and among the lipids in the blood stream. Cholesterol and other fats can not dissolve in blood.
Excess cholesterol, actually the low – density lipoprotein, part of cholesterol deposited in the artery walls coat the wall linings causing the hardening of the walls. Blood flow gets restricted, and the heart has to do more pumping. The hardened arteries can rupture, bleed, haemorrage or clot. If the clot blocks the arteries completely, halting blood supply to the heart or brain, heart attacks and strokes occur. That’s why LDL cholesterol is often called “bad” cholesterol. Lower levels of LDL cholesterol reflect a lower risk of heart disease.
