When I believe in lowering cholesterol than the Paleolithic diet - the foods our ancestors ate long ago. What ate 10,000 years ago or more? The answer is simple - fruit, berries, nuts, and animals when they were lucky to kill one. It was not fast food that is safe. Our bodies and physiology were developed at that time in food. Our physiology could not have changed over time, but our eating habits.

Capsaicin is the ingredient that makes pepper hot. While the likes of hot pepper, capsaicin is reported to actually help reduce body temperature, which is one reason that people in hot climates like to eat much of it.

Capsaicin also helps many other medicinal properties of cayenne to stimulate the cardiovascular system, relieve pain on the surface of the skin or joints (capsaicin cream), improve digestion, acts as an expectorant, and fight bacteria. It is also an antioxidant.
Three ounces of pistachios (about two handfuls) has 400 calories. If you are eating 2000 calories a day, this represents 20 percent of their caloric intake. However, the fat in nuts are the kindest heart polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, and nuts have no cholesterol. Monounsaturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated fatty acids some nuts are an ideal combination of fats have been linked to improved cholesterol levels and promoting heart health.

All we are looking for a hand to formulate a scheme to reduce natural cholesterol can successfully overcome high cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or coronary artery disease.

There are a number of things that affect cholesterol levels. They include diet, weight, inactivity, smoking, stress levels, age, sex and inheritance. With age, sex and heredity there is nothing we can do. On the other hand all other risk factors should be included on our natural cholesterol lowering regime.

Diet: According to some estimates of diet alone can reduce cholesterol levels by up to 35 percent in two or three weeks. Saturated fat and cholesterol in the foods we eat that our cholesterol levels soared. Our natural cholesterol-lowering regimen to succeed we will need to keep saturated fat intake to a paltry 10 percent of calories. Calories from cholesterol also have to be reduced to about 30 percent of calories.

Weight: We all know that being overweight has a number of health risks of heart disease are. When a person is only 15 percent over their ideal weight decrease good cholesterol, bad cholesterol increases, and overall increase in cholesterol readings.
Inactivity: The American Heart Association suggests that physical activity on most, if not daily. When inactive, they raise bad cholesterol and lowers good cholesterol. The old double whammy!

Smoking: If you are serious about keeping your cholesterol in a range of stop smoking healthy is a necessity. A recent long-term study involving more than 10.
000 Korean men found that despite a healthy diet smoking remains dramatically increased their chances of heart attack or stroke.

Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good candidate as a drug carrier, enabling an enhanced in vivo targeting capability and less n
