The problem of lowering cholesterol today is one of the most important problems for a modern person. A sedentary lifestyle and poor nutrition, an abundance of fats and carbohydrates in it, leads to the fact that most of us are at risk of atherosclerosis, which is overweight, high blood pressure, joint problems. Every day our body produces up to 5 grams of cholesterol, of which 80% is produced in the liver, the rest is produced by our cells. There is bad and good cholesterol in this cholesterol. A good one participates in our metabolism, helps to synthesize fatty acids necessary for the absorption of fats in the intestine, we absolutely do not need the other part of cholesterol and we need to remove it in all available ways. Scientists believe that «bad» cholesterol is involved in maintaining our immunity, so it must be present in our body, we just have to make sure that its amount is within the normal range.

According to the official recommendations of the European Society of Atherosclerosis (in the West it is a very respected organization), the «normal» levels of fat fractions in the blood should be as follows:

1. Total cholesterol is less than 5.2 mmol/l.

2. Low—density lipoprotein cholesterol is less than 3-3.5 mmol/l.

3. High—density lipoprotein cholesterol — more than 1.0 mmol/l.

4. Triglycerides — less than 2.0 mmol/l.

The cholesterol content can fluctuate in one direction or another, and often our mood and our state of health depend on it. Lack of cholesterol causes us to feel depressed, depressed. And people who do not consume fats at all deprive themselves of good cholesterol, which we need for metabolic processes. Everything should be normal, in order to find out the condition of your blood, you need to be examined and take the necessary tests.

With elevated cholesterol levels, there is an excellent remedy from dried linden flowers. Grind the lime blossom in a coffee grinder, and take the resulting powder three times a day, 1 teaspoon at a time, washing it down with plain water. They take this remedy for a month, then take a break for 2 weeks, then again for a month, without forgetting to take a blood test. By the way, just fresh apples will help reduce cholesterol. It is enough to eat 1 apple a day to feel healthy.
