A high cholesterol level can be an early indicator or sign that you are at high risk for heart disease. <br><br>We first need to address the issue of cholesterol; contrary to popular belief cholesterol is an essential fat required by the cells in your body.<br><br>What you need to do is differentiate between good and bad cholesterol. You can manage your cholesterol levels by reducing or eliminating all ‘bad’ low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol-containing foods from your diet and by further incorporating good cholesterol or ‘good’ high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in your diet.<br><br>HDL actually helps to lower the level of LDL cholesterol along with maintaining the health of the inner walls of your heart; thereby preventing heart disease and reducing your chances of a heart attack.<br>Given below are 2 simple home remedies to help balance your cholesterol levels:<br><br>Method 1: The first home remedy to reduce your bad cholesterol is simply drinking a cup of cinnamon tea every day. Studies have shown that cinnamon can cut down your cholesterol level by as much as 18 % and also helps to lower your blood sugar levels.<br><br>To make this tea, you just have to boil 8-10 small pieces of cinnamon sticks in a cup of water and then let it simmer for about 3 mins. Strain the cinnamon tea and drink regularly; if you want you can also add 1 teaspoon of honey to enhance its flavour.<br><br>Method 2: In the second method we will use coriander seeds instead of cinnamon sticks. Coriander has been known to boost the levels of HDL and help reduce LDL cholesterol levels in humans.<br><br>The process remains the same i.e., boil one tablespoon of dried coriander seeds in 1 cup of water and then let it simmer on low heat for 3 mins. Strain the tea and drink it once or twice a day to manage your cholesterol levels. <br><br>You can also include coriander seeds or the ground powder in your daily cooking regime for greater benefits.<br><br><br>For detailed recipe and step-by-step instructions visit: <br>http://www.fabhow.com/reduce-bad-cholesterol-level.html
