Want to Lower Cholesterol? It's an Effective "Home" Solution

High cholesterol is one of the main reasons for heart disease.

While mapping out risk factors, doctors usually advise patients to test their total cholesterol levels, Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL), and High Density Lipoprotein (HDL).

High cholesterol and high LDL levels increase the risk of heart disease, while high HDL levels are a protective factor.

A daily diet plays an important role in achieving and maintaining a health condition.

High cholesterol can be prevented and controlled effectively with a combination of good diet, regular exercise, ideal weight, and overall healthy lifestyle.

In addition, Dr. Rupali Datta, Clinical Nutrition Expert quoted by the NDTV page also has a "home" solution by using kitchen materials, which can help control high cholesterol levels.

1. Garlic

Garlic has long been known for its health enhancing properties.

Garlic contains amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and organosulfur compounds such as allicin, ajoene, s-allylcysteine, s-ethylcysteine, and diallylsulfide.
