CHOLESTEROL CUTTING TEA
There is an ever growing phenomenon of people testing high with
cholesterol issues. In conjunction with this; however, more and more
people are having terrible side effects from the high powered and
unfriendly drugs they are being placed on to somehow fix this problem.
As with most all health related conditions, there are natural ways to
maintain a proper balance of positive and negative cholesterol. The
first and most important way is through diet. Eating good, nutritious,
healthy foods such as lean proteins (baked, grilled, boiled, or broiled
and not fried), plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, and a good
selection of whole grains is the number one way to eliminate soaring
cholesterol levels that could possible endanger the heart and
circulatory system. Eliminating processed foods and store bought
pre-packed items, sugar, white flour, and other “quick fix” menu items
is another super help.
We have decided to create a
healthy tea that will work against the effects of negative cholesterol
within the system, while not harming the positive cholesterol that your
body needs to function properly. We also feel that doing things
naturally, is always more beneficial and will eliminate the life
altering, life threatening side effects being seen so often from the
so-called “cholesterol cutting” drugs of our day. We hope you will try
our Cholesterol Cutting Tea and enjoy the
benefits it allows to your circulatory system, heart, and other body
organs. Our special blend includes the perfect proportions of the
following herbs:
- Red Clover: It is believed that red clover may
help to prevent heart disease in several ways. Some studies show that
taking red clover may lower the levels of “nagative” low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and raise the levels of “positive”
high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the body. In addition, red
clover may also promote an increase in the secretion of bile acid.
Because cholesterol is a major component of bile acid, increased bile
acid production usually means that more cholesterol is used and less
cholesterol circulates in the body. Additionally, red clover contains
small amounts of chemicals known as coumarins, which may help keep the
blood from becoming thick and gummy. Therefore, the possibility of
forming blood clots and arterial plaques may be reduced. Red clover may
also help the arteries remain strong and flexible (a quality often
called “arterial compliance”), which may also help to prevent some of
the plaque deposits that may lead to a heart attack or a stroke.
- Alfalfa: Alfalfa is commonly used to alkalize
and detoxify the body. It helps ease inflammation, balance hormones, and
lower LDL cholesterol. It has been used as a diuretic and to treat
anemia and ulcers. (Note: People with systemic lupus or taking blood
thinning medications should notify their doctor before taking a
supplement with alfalfa because of its high vitamin K properties)
- Dandelion Root: Dandelion is a rich source of
vitamins A, B complex, C, and D, as well as minerals such as iron,
potassium, and zinc. Some studies suggest that dandelion may help
normalize blood sugar levels and improve lipid profiles (namely, lower
total cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL ["positive"]
cholesterol).
- Fenugreek Seed: Studies have shown a beneficial
effect of fenugreek in reducing blood glucose levels and improving
glucose tolerance in patients with diabetes. In terms of weight control,
the soluble fiber in fenugreek seeds can reduce dietary fat absorption
by binding to fatty acids as well as create a sensation of "fullness"
and reduced appetite. Finally, because fenugreek seeds contain
estrogen-like saponins, blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL and
triglycerides can be reduced (with no change in HDL) – providing an
important heart benefit.
- Burdock Root: Frequently used to help lower
cholesterol levels and decrease high blood pressure. It is one of the
foremost cleansing herbs, providing nourishing support for the blood,
the liver, and the natural defense system. It's rich in Vitamins B-1,
B-6, B-12, and E, plus manganese, copper, iron, zinc, sulfur, and more.
- Hawthorne Berries: Most traditionally used to
help the heart. T hese berries are considered a strong heart tonic, with
the ability to stabilize cholesterol counts as well as blood pressure,
by raising low pressure and reducing high pressure, and is therefore an
herb of choice for hypertension as well as hypotension. They have also
proven effective, for generations, centuries even, in regulating rapid
or arrhythmic heart beat, inflammation of the heart muscle, angina,
arteriosclerosis, and disease or degeneration of the heart valves and
blood vessels. Because it strengthens the heart and the ability of the
heart to process the blood flow, it improves the condition of the
vessels through which the blood flows and the general circulation in the
body, which means, it also has great benefit to reducing LDL
cholesterol. Therefore, although heart problems can occur at any age,
Hawthorn is one of the first herbs considered when the conditions relate
to aging and the heart problems that frequently accompany aging.
Drink one to two cups daily in conjunction with a healthy,
well-balanced diet for better circulation, heart function; and overall
health.
