Namaste,

In majority of cases, fatty, high calorie diet and obesity are responsible for increase in cholesterol. High level of saturated fats found in meats, dairy products, chocolate, baked goods, fried and processed foods are blamed for increased cholesterol levels. In some cases genetic factors may also be responsible for high level of cholesterol in individuals.

Therefore, taking light, low calorie diet is important to avoid high cholesterol.

Maintaining regular food timings and taking dinner early in the evening is also useful.

Yoga, Suryanamaskar and Pranayama are useful

Paying attention to digestion and excretion and avoiding indigestion is important when you have high cholesterol.

Mix one teaspoon of Indian gooseberry powder (amla) in a glass of warm water. Drink it daily in the morning on an empty stomach.

Take one teaspoon each of black pepper powder, dry ginger powder, turmeric powder and amla powder. Store in a glass container. Take one teaspoon of this mixture twice daily with lukewarm water.

Take 3 parts ground turmeric, 6 parts ground cumin, 6 parts ground coriander, 6 parts ground fennel, 2 parts ground fenugreek, 1 part dried ginger powder and 1 part ground black pepper. Combine the spices and store in a sealed container. When preparing your meal, sauté a teaspoon of spices in a small amount of ghee or olive oil. Combine with vegetables.

Boil few leaves of mint with water. Add some honey and pepper powder. Drink lukewarm 2-3 times a day.

Hi sangeeta, 
Total cholesterol level upto 239 is considered as borderline high and yours is 235,so it is borderline high.

Hi sangeeta, 

LDL is considered as the bad cholesterol.It's level rises when your blood ph shifts to acidic.

  • Obesity can be the reason for raised cholesterol. So,avoid fast food,oily food and prefer fresh fruits and vegetables. 
  • Exercise is very important. Do it regularly. Suryanamaskar is very helpful.
  • Avoid having spicy food,red meat,sugar.
  • Take more fibres in your diet.
  • Pcos can also be the reason for increased cholesterol. So to manage hormonal imbalance, sleep early at night and wake up early in the morning and do some walking or jogging. 
  • Include oats,barley,soy food in your diet.
  • Drink lukewarm water during the day.

Dangers associated with high cholesterol level includes heart related issues, stroke,blockage in arteries.

Hi Sangeeta,

High Cholesterol levels could be because of consuming either high intake of sugary foods, high fat either from animal foods, dairy or oily foods,increased consumption of packed and processed foods and little or no physical activity. Increase uour intake of fibre from plant based foods like lots of greens, raw vegetables, sprouts and fruits. Also try to add soaked walnuts and flaxseed to your diet. Apart from this regular exposure to sunshine, physical activity and deep breathing will help you lower your cholesterol. It is also important to manage your stress levels and sleep soundly for atleast 7hrs.

Wishing you Good Health Always!

Thank you,

Regards,

Upto 239 mg/dl is considered border line nothing much to worry about but you should try to reduce it . Cholesterol level should be below 200mg/dl for adults .

Hi there , 

Cholesterol upto 200 mg /dl is normal for adults and a reading between 200-239 mg/dl is considered borderline . Know that there are good cholesterol and bad cholesterol namely HDL and LDL which are mostly determined by your age ,diet , lifestyle habits , body weight , and many more . 
Focus on the diet with unsaturated fats , soluble fibers . Eat lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits , drink more water and herbal juices . Avoid saturated fats , artificial trans fats , added sugars and any kind of oily junk foods . 
Go for regular workouts and exercises such as swimming , cycling , jogging , walking or yoga 

As for the dangers ; High cholesterol or hypercholesterolemia can cause sevee life threatening complications such as - 
- Chest pain or Angina and other coronary diseases 
- Heat attack 
- stroke 

I hope this helps . 
All the best .
