Common Causes of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol is often the result of multiple lifestyle and genetic factors, including:
- Excess intake of fried and processed foods
- High consumption of saturated and trans fats
- Obesity and excess abdominal fat
- Physical inactivity
- Diabetes and insulin resistance
- Hypothyroidism
- Chronic stress
- Smoking and excessive alcohol intake
- Family history of high cholesterol
Symptoms of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol usually develops silently without noticeable symptoms. Most people discover it during routine blood investigations. However, prolonged uncontrolled cholesterol may increase the risk of:
- Heart attack
- Stroke
- Poor circulation
- Chest pain (Angina)
- Fatty liver
- Peripheral artery disease
Regular lipid profile testing is important, especially after the age of 30 or if there is a family history of heart disease.
Ayurvedic View of High Cholesterol
According to Ayurveda, high cholesterol is primarily associated with an imbalance of Kapha Dosha along with weakened Agni (digestive fire). Poor digestion leads to the formation of Ama (metabolic toxins), which gradually blocks the body’s channels (Srotas), affecting circulation and fat metabolism.
Rather than simply restricting fats, Ayurveda focuses on:
- Improving digestion
- Correcting metabolism
- Reducing toxin accumulation
- Balancing Kapha
- Supporting healthy liver function
- Promoting sustainable weight management
