CHOLESTEROL FACTS

* Cholesterol Facts (in simple manner avoiding scientific words like triacylglyceride etc):-

Cholesterol Types:High Density Lipo Protine Cholesterol (HDLC) Good Cholesterol and Low Density Lipo Protine Cholesterol (LDLC) Bad Cholesterol Simple Facts:Most of cases of Heart Diseases are coming because of Cholesterol irrespective of age. Due to un-balanced diet of modern civilizations life style, even 20-25 years of children also having Heart Blocks, Heart attacks and other Cholesterols very commonly. There is a recent heart attack was found in 8-years children. Cholesterol is very much required for Human body for day to day body activities like construction of cell membrane, produce hormones, brain cell function and paitya rasa nirmanam etc. But interesting thing is, Cholesterol can produce by Human Liver, no need to consume it directly from outside. Due to consuming Cholesterol from outside, the ratios of HDLC and LDLC are becoming imbalance and LDLC is growing more. Excess LDLC Cholesterol will deposit on the Blood Vessels walls and interrupt the free flow of blood, that is the main reason Blocks and Heart diseases. HDLC Cholesterol used to sweep/clean the Blood Vessels used to clean the LDLC deposits along the Blood Vessels almost 60K Miles long throughout in our body. LDLC will increase automatically when we consume any cholesterol food. There is no Cholesterol in any of the Plant/tree related food items, they only exists in any animal related food or their by-products only. As Every one used to think, there is no cholesterol in Coconut, Cashew Nuts, Pista, Badam etc etc food grains/nuts or plant/tree related food. In this nature, there is no Plant or tree related product having at least some points of cholesterol (only 0%) Milk / Eggs are also another resource of LDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol will be deposited on the walls of Blood Vessels and disturb blood circulation/flow by compress the blood Vessels Stop consuming milk and also, instead use Leaf Vegetables. Try to prepare curd without meegada/cream. Milk can be used in Cooking Recipes instead of consuming directly by adults. Leafy vegetable usually having 3-times better calcium than as in Milk. Each Chicken Egg usually having 210 mg of cholesterol. (yellow part) Stop consuming Egg.

Ghee also rich source of LDL Cholesterol, 360 mg of Cholesterol exists in 100g of Ghee. All Non-Vegetarian food having Cholesterol and excess amounts of Cholesterol deposits will exist at Liver, Brain etc. Fishes are also having Cholesterol, but low compared to other Non-Vege food. But due to our methods of preparations we have to avoid the Fish also. Oil should have to be avoided in any form, which makes the lot of LDL cholesterol. What is source of HDL Cholesterol? According to science, To increase HDL we have to consume the food which is having Alfa LenoLenic Aid (a fat product). What products are having HDL Cholesterol? 1) Soya Beans:- Rich in Alfa Leno-lenic acid A) Use soya beans every day in food in any one form. We can soak them in water and use it in while cooking food.
