Cholesterol: What is it and how to lower it with natural herbs

We all hear about the word cholesterol at some time. This substance is found in our body. We have heard of the “good” and the “bad”, but do we really know what cholesterol is and how it affects us? Especially for people who have to take care of this component, in this post we will discover what it is. And, also, on how to lower cholesterol with natural herbs like the ones you can find in our CBD-based products

To begin with, cholesterol is a substance very similar to fat that is present in our cells. It is a combination of lipids and proteins. Its function is to generate hormones and substances that allow us to digest the food we eat. Although our body produces cholesterol, we can also find it in different foods of animal origin.

Excess cholesterol: What does it generate?

As we well know, everything in excess is not good. Extremes are generally not recommended. In this case, when there is an excess of cholesterol in our body, it combines with other substances and forms plaques that stick to the walls of the blood vessels. When this happens, it is very common for the arteries to narrow or partially block causing a failure in the bloodstream. This is very common in people at heart risk.

Low-density lipoprotein

You may not identify it by this name, but that is how “bad cholesterol” is called because, according to National Library of Medicine of the United States, Medline Plus, a high LDL level leads to a build-up of plaque in the arteries. Decreasing it is very important because otherwise, a partial blockage of the arteries would begin to affect the vital functioning of organs such as the heart. Fortunately there are ways to lower cholesterol with natural herbs, for example, to do it in the most organic way possible. 

High-density lipoproteins

This, in contrast to the previous one, what it does is redirect cholesterol to the liver to start its processing and thus eliminate it naturally to avoid excess of it.

CBD and CBD + Turmeric Oil: A Natural Alternative

At New Stage Power when we decide to design a series of products that contribute to well-being, we think of those who suffer from high cholesterol and want to reduce it naturally. We have studied the benefits of both Cannabidiol (CBD) and Turmeric and concluded that together they are an explosive duo for lowering cholesterol with natural herbs.

For starters, CBD is a substance from the Cannabis Sativa plant. Among its benefits (antioxidants, neuroprotectors, cardioprotectors) we find that it is rich in essential fatty acids. These are Omega-3 and Omega-6 which are amazing for lowering cholesterol, triglycerides and blood pressure.

But what about turmeric? This is a plant that belongs to the ginger family that also has antioxidant properties and contributes to lowering cholesterol. Now, is it possible to combine both products to enhance their performance? Of course yes.

Tips to avoid generating “bad” cholesterol

If you are a fan of hamburgers, you are watching the series all day in bed and you have unhealthy habits, let me tell you that you are on the wrong path. All of this contributes to accumulating bad cholesterol. Fats, oils, processed foods combined with a sedentary lifestyle are the driver of decline. Remember, a blockage of the arteries can contribute to the failure of the circulatory system and can even lead to heart attacks. What we recommend is:

-Start eating healthier: put aside processed foods, fats. We invite you to eat more fruits and vegetables and not so much food of animal origin that has high amounts of cholesterol.

-Don’t be sedentary: We know that it is difficult to get up and exercise on your own, even more so in a pandemic. But it is very important that you begin to move and generate that internal movement in your body. Put on music that amuses you and dance a little even if it is. You have to go slowly but surely.

Conclusion

Cholesterol is always with us. It doesn’t have to be a bad thing if we take care of it. Knowing what it produces in our body and how to stay healthy is the key to not suffering complications in the future.
