How to reduce cholesterol naturally

Clinical studies have demonstrated that systemic combinations can significantly reduce the values of cholesterol and triglycerides in most patients, without producing side effects.

The cholesterol and triglycerides are fats that circulate in the blood from the food we eat and the daily production of the liver. The excess of these fats can build up in the form of plaques that clog blood vessels, causing atherosclerosis, heart attacks or cerebral thrombosis. So it is important to check cholesterol through laboratory tests to determine their figures for total cholesterol, LDL ( “bad” cholesterol), HDL (good cholesterol) and triglycerides (blood fat). To reduce your risk of a heart attack or stroke is important to keep the numbers of lipids in healthy ranges. However, people with high cardiovascular risk should keep LDL in less than 70 mg / dL.

Some changes in lifestyle can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It is suggested: not smoking, exercise regularly, eat a diet low in fat, including fruits and vegetables, limit alcohol consumption and sleep eight hours each night.

When changes in lifestyles are not enough to control blood fats, are used synthetic drugs such as statins. These are among the most prescribed in the United States and inhibit an enzyme in the liver (HMG-CoA reductase), which blocks the production of cholesterol, but also the production of antioxidants essential for the production of the energy molecule (the ATP).

The Systemic Medicine is a therapeutic approach integrative exercised by doctors who prescribe natural and synthetic drugs, under the principles of the Theory of Living Systems.

Doctors specializing in this approach prescribe combinations of medicinal plants adaptogens, which produces a tendency to endogenous healing, which leads the body to balance. This translates into an increase in the potential survival of living system.
