My BMI is normal, but cholestrol is high. How to reduce it?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 29 years old female with a proper BMI index, but I have high blood cholesterol. I do not have any other physical problem. I did not start any medicine. I do yoga. I want to decrease my cholesterol level.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

If the cholesterol level is too high, like above 300 or so, then you will need to take medications. But if it is less than that, then you can control it with natural remedies, food, and exercise. You can continue doing yoga. Also, you can do vigorous exercises (only if your body permit, if you have any physical problem then do not do it) like a brisk walk, aerobics or swimming as these exercises will help to lower your fats and cholesterol.

Also, eat raw garlic (1 to 2) every day, you can even mix it with food and eat. There is one homeopathic remedy called Allium Sativum made from garlic. You can take 10 drops of this liquid in half a cup of water once a day for 15 days. Try these methods for one month and then let me know how you feel. I hope you start feeling better.
