10 Ayurveda Tips for Healthy Cholesterol Levels
In the fast-paced world we live in today, health often gets neglected. However, ensuring healthy cholesterol levels is essential for heart health. Thankfully, Ayurveda provides comprehensive and holistic methods to regulate cholesterol levels. Let's explore 10 Ayurvedic recommendations to naturally manage your cholesterol levels!
1. Embrace a Plant-Based Diet
Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of a plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. These foods are not only nutritious but also low in cholesterol and saturated fats, making them ideal for heart health. Your Saumya Ayurveda plan provides you with a custom food program to balance your doshic picture, and not a one size fits all approach. Learn how to turn your food into medicine.
2. Cook with Cholesterol-Lowering Spices
Spice up your meals with Ayurvedic spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, and ginger. These spices not only add flavor but also contain compounds that can help lower cholesterol levels naturally.
3. Start Your Day with Warm Lemon Water
Kickstart your morning Ayurveda routine with a glass of warm lemon water. Lemon is known to aid digestion, detoxify the body, and promote heart health by helping to regulate cholesterol levels.
4. Practice Daily Meditation and Yoga
Stress is a major contributor to high cholesterol levels. Incorporate daily meditation and yoga practices to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and support overall heart health. Start today with our free daily guided practices.
5. Stay Hydrated with Herbal Teas
Stay hydrated throughout the day by sipping on herbal teas like green tea, hibiscus tea, or ginger tea. These teas not only keep you hydrated but also offer cholesterol-lowering benefits. Which herbs are balancing to your doshic picture is determined in your Ayurveda consultation.
6. Get Moving with Ayurvedic Exercise
Ayurveda recommends exercises like brisk walking, cycling, and yog-asana to improve circulation, strengthen the heart, and maintain healthy cholesterol levels. Make movement part of your morning and evening Ayurveda routine.
7. Include Ayurvedic Herbs
Consider incorporating Ayurvedic supplements like guggul, arjuna, or triphala into your routine. These supplements are known for their cholesterol-regulating properties and can support overall heart health.
Please note: Saumya Ayurveda does not recommend using herbs as if they were over the counter or prescribed pharmaceuticals. An experienced Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner will create you a custom herbal formula, special nasya, and customized Ayurveda plan to support the whole you.
Herbs are not Ayurvedic because it comes from India. Nor it is correct for you because it is organic. Herbs become Ayurvedic when used as part your customized Ayurveda plan which is carefully tailored for your constitution. An herb that is balancing to one person for a concern, may be imbalancing to another.
8. Opt for Healthy Fats
Choose healthy fats like ghee, coconut oil, and olive oil in moderation. These fats are Ayurveda-approved and can help maintain a balance of good and bad cholesterol in the body.
9. Practice Mindful Eating
Ayurveda places great importance on mindful eating. Take the time to savor your meals, chew your food well, and avoid distractions to support proper digestion and assimilation of nutrients and proper elimination. Use our two minute guided meditation before you dig in!
10. Consult a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner

"I found Saumya Ayurveda when I was looking for a holistic approach to my health and lifestyle.
The Ayurveda Consultation with individual attention and focus has been wonderful. I have transitioned from pharmaceuticals to herbal and dietary approaches to manage my high cholesterol and calcium deficiencies.
Digestive issues that have plagued me my entire life have disappeared. I am a dedicated user of the oils to ease arthritis pain.
I was so pleased with my results that I recommended Saumya Ayurveda to my daughters and my mother. My mother enjoys the tea, and the oil is working so well for the arthritis in her hands and shoulders that she has been able to stop using harsh pain medications. Ayurveda is helping me to take care of myself and I can enjoy each day.”

I have seen Veena at Saumya Ayurveda for several years. In fact, my whole family sees her. She has helped me with blood pressure, cholesterol management, and reducing inflammation. I sleep better, my stress has reduced, and my energy has improved.
During a period of high stress, I was waking with a racing heart and the herbal remedies and lifestyle recommendations reversed it. I recommend Veena – she is responsive, comprehensive, and effective.
