Herbal Medicine for Cholesterol Treatment

This article explains herbal medicine for cholesterol treatment, the roles of cholesterol, the causes of high cholesterol levels and how best to control its concentration in the body. It is one of the essential substances in our bodies. When present at normal levels, it plays some critical functions, but when its concentration becomes too high, it can cause serious health issues. In this article, we will briefly explain it.

What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a substance mainly composed of fats and oils that are naturally produced in the body but can also be consumed in some foods. It is present in every cell of our body. Because of its fatty nature, it is not soluble in water or blood. It is transported around the body in lipoproteins. 

There are two main types of lipoproteins which help to transport cholesterol, these are:

• Low-density lipoproteins (LDL): This lipoprotein type is bad cholesterol. It contributes to the buildup of fatty deposits along the arterial walls. It is the leading cause of atherosclerosis, stroke and heart disease. 
• High-density lipoproteins (HDL): This is known as the ‘good cholesterol. It helps to clear out LDL from arteries and transport them to the liver, where they are broken down and eliminated from the body. 

High LDL levels, which come from eating ‘junk’ foods, increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. In contrast, high HDL levels derived from fish and plant-based diets help to prevent these cardiovascular diseases.

Roles of cholesterol in the body

Cholesterol plays four critical roles in the body: it contributes to the structure of cell walls, is required to synthesise vitamin D, enables the body to produce certain hormones, and makes up the digestive bile acid in the intestine, which aids digestion.

Symptoms of high cholesterol levels

There are generally no symptoms in a person with high cholesterol levels, except that the increase in body fat deposits may result in being overweight. But routine checkups are needed to ascertain cholesterol levels.

Causes of high cholesterol levels

•  Unhealthy diet: Eating foods that contain large amounts of saturated fats and cholesterol can substantially increase LDL levels in the body. Examples of these foods include; red meat, cheese, margarine, dairy products, deep-fried and processed foods, etc. 
• Obesity: Being overweight also contributes to high blood cholesterol levels, as some LDL could be deposited in the blood, which increases the risk of atherosclerosis and coronary diseases.  
• Lifestyle: Living a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of high cholesterol levels because the body needs to expend some of its cholesterol reserves through the energy provided by physical activities.
• Medications: Certain drugs, such as progestin, anabolic steroids and corticosteroids, are known to have the side effect of increasing LDL cholesterol and decreasing HDL cholesterol levels in the body. 
• Diseases:  Diseases such as liver disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and hormonal imbalance can increase the risk of high cholesterol levels.
• Hereditary: Genetic factors have also been identified to contribute to high cholesterol; therefore, a family history of the condition can predispose a person to the situation.

Herbal medicine for cholesterol and options for treatment

Herbal medicine for cholesterol and other options for controlling cholesterol levels in the body includes the following:

• Healthy diet: Reducing the consumption of meats and processed foods and adding more plant-based foods to your diet can be very helpful. Some foods known to lower cholesterol levels include; oats, eggplant and okra, fruits, soya beans, and barley. Oily fishes like salmon, tuna and sardines can actively increase HDL cholesterol and decrease LDL cholesterol levels.  
• Regular exercise: Regular exercise is also beneficial in helping the body eliminate broken-down cholesterol and fat.
• Medications: People with high cholesterol levels are at risk of a heart attack. Doctors can advise them to take a group of cholesterol-lowering drugs known as statins. Examples are atorvastatin (Lipitor), fluvastatin (Lescol) and Lovastatin (Mevacor).
• Herbal medicine for cholesterol: Some Chinese herbal medicine for cholesterol are very helpful in lowering cholesterol levels. A good example is the Cordy Royal Jelly by kedi healthcare which contains cordyceps Sinensis, ginkgo leaf extracts, and royal jelly freezing powder. Cordyceps Sinensis is a powerful life-enhancing tonic and an extremely effective and unique herb and highly beneficial to the body. It improves cardiovascular health, increases HDL cholesterol levels and enhances blood circulation.
