Borderline Cholesterol and Sugar? Stop Them in Their Tracks!!!

 

Borderline Cholesterol and Sugar?

Stop Them in Their Tracks!!!

Are you ignoring your borderline health reports?

Conditions like high cholesterol and diabetes often begin with borderline values that may seem insignificant but signal deeper health issues.

Waiting for these to worsen can lead to chronic diseases.

Acting now with simple Ayurvedic and lifestyle changes can prevent this progression.

🎯Why You Should Act on Borderline Cholesterol Levels?

Borderline high cholesterol might indicate undiagnosed diabetes or pre-diabetes.

These conditions disrupt your lipid metabolism in the following ways:

🌿1. The liver and intestine produce excessive triglyceride-rich lipoproteins.

🌿2. These lipoproteins are metabolized abnormally, raising cholesterol levels.

🌿3. Insulin resistance or deficiency reduces triglyceride clearance, causing imbalances.

From an Ayurvedic perspective, such conditions reflect Ama (toxic, undigested substances) buildup, beginning in the gut and disturbing the balance of doshas (body energies) and dhatus (tissues), leading to chronic diseases.

🌿 Ayurvedic Steps to Prevent Cholesterol and Diabetes

1. Include Gut-Friendly Grains
Add moong dal, barley, and ragi to your diet. These grains stabilize blood sugar and cholesterol while complementing your staple grains.

2. Embrace Healthy Fats
Opt for homemade buttermilk, ghee, and unrefined oils suited to your local climate. These support digestion and dosha balance.

3. Follow the Ideal Meal Ratio
Prevent Ama and enhance digestion with this ratio:

1/4 grains

1/4 vegetables

1/4 liquids

1/4 air (leave stomach space for digestion).

4. Stay Physically Active

Daily exercise like walking or yoga aids fat metabolism, prevents Ama, and promotes overall health.

5. Manage Stress Effectively

Chronic stress affects insulin sensitivity and cholesterol levels.

Adopt Ayurvedic stress-relief practices such as Pranayama, meditation, and Abhyanga (self-oil massage) to balance the mind and body.

How to know hair follicles are active or not?

 Many men during online consultation used to ask me  " How will I know, if my hair follicle is active or not? " Here are a few ways 👇 Observe Hair Growth: If you see fine, short hair (vellus hair) or longer, thicker hair (terminal hair) in the area, follicles are active. However, if the area is smooth and shiny without any hair growth, the follicles may be inactive. Examine Scalp Health: A healthy scalp, with adequate hydration and minimal flakiness, is more likely to support active follicles. Redness, inflammation, or excessive dryness can indicate issues affecting follicle activity. Check for Signs of Miniaturization: When follicles are active but weakened, they may produce thinner, shorter hairs. This process, known as follicular miniaturization, is often a sign of conditions like androgenic alopecia. Pull Test: Gently tug on a small section of hair. If more than a few strands come out, this may suggest shedding due to issues affecting follicle health, but it doesn’t ...

  Why Bread for Breakfast Could Be Sabotaging Your Health"🙄 A patient came to me five years ago complaining of back pain after his wife had been away for five days. He had been surviving on plain bread three times a day due to his desk job. As a doctor, I could easily see that his poor food choices had contributed to his discomfort." Bread, particularly refined white bread, can negatively impact digestion, energy levels, and overall health when consumed regularly, especially in the morning when the body needs nourishing and easily digestible foods to fuel the day. From an Ayurvedic standpoint, breakfast should support agni (digestive fire), which is not yet fully active in the morning after a night of rest. Consuming bread, especially with butter or jam, can overload the digestive system, as it is heavy and difficult to digest. This can lead to the formation of ama (toxins), which Ayurveda identifies as the root cause of many diseases. Refined bread, in particular, i...
