Cholesterol is a waxy substance
found in all parts of your body. It helps
make cell membranes, some hormones, and
vitamin D. Cholesterol comes from two sources:
your body and the foods you eat. Blood cholesterol
is made in your liver. Your liver makes
all the cholesterol your body needs. Dietary
cholesterol comes from animal foods like
meats, whole milk dairy foods, egg yolks,
poultry, and fish. Eating too much dietary
cholesterol can make your blood cholesterol
go up. There are ways to check your cholesterol
levels by changing your diet and regulating
fat intake. Homoeopathic remedies have proved
effective to some extent in lowering the
cholesterol levels. Remedies such as Allium
sativa, Ginseng, Lycopodium have proved
to have a lowering effect on cholesterol.
