What is Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in the blood that is essential for building cells and producing hormones. However, having high levels of cholesterol can lead to serious health problems, such as heart disease and stroke. There are two types of cholesterol:
   LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) – Often referred to as "bad cholesterol," high levels of LDL can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, narrowing them and increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
   HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) – Known as "good cholesterol," HDL helps remove LDL from the bloodstream, protecting against heart disease. In Ayurveda, cholesterol imbalance is often linked to imbalanced Kapha dosha, poor digestion, and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body.

Common Causes of High Cholesterol

➡️ Unhealthy Diet – High intake of saturated fats, trans fats, and refined sugars.
➡️ Lack of Physical Activity – Leads to weight gain and poor circulation.
➡️ Obesity – Excess weight increases the risk of high cholesterol levels.
➡️ Genetics – A family history of high cholesterol can increase the risk.
➡️ Chronic Stress – Emotional stress can increase LDL cholesterol.
➡️ Smoking and Alcohol Consumption – Contribute to cholesterol imbalances and cardiovascular issues.

Symptoms of High Cholesterol

High cholesterol often shows no symptoms. However, over time it can lead to:
✅ Chest pain
✅ Shortness of breath
✅ Fatigue
✅ Leg pain when walking
✅ Xanthomas (fatty deposits under the skin)
