There are many ways to reduce high cholesterol, we are giving you 3 natural home remedies for high cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol is a type of fat in our blood. While our body produces all the necessary cholesterol, we also take cholesterol from the foods we consume. High cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) which is also called “bad” cholesterol, is one of the main risk factors for developing the disease. It increases our chance of developing heart disease and having a heart attack, as well as a stroke. Many factors can contribute to an increase in blood cholesterol levels, including the existence of an underlying condition, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, unhealthy lifestyle, unhealthy diet, smoking, lack of physical activity, lack of sleep, and constant stress. The western diet rich in trans fats and saturated fats and a sedentary lifestyle greatly contribute to the development of diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol levels.

In short, trans fats are bad for you, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are good for you, and saturated fats are somewhere in-between, as reported by Harvard Health Publishing. Therefore, to lower LDL cholesterol levels, it is necessary to avoid trans fats and replace saturated fats with monounsaturated fats found in extra virgin olive oil and avocado oil, or polyunsaturated fat found in walnuts, fish, and canola oil.
