Cholesterol is a problem whose number of patients is increasing rapidly and is the biggest cause of heart diseases. Cholesterol does not come out of the body easily and stops blood flow in the arteries.
When the heart does not get adequate blood supply, the risk of heart attack increases. Cholesterol is produced in our body and is also obtained from diet. Cholesterol is essential for our body but it is of two types, one is good cholesterol (HDL) and the other is bad cholesterol (LDL).
The body needs good cholesterol, while bad cholesterol harms health. Bad cholesterol mostly increases due to consumption of meat, fish, meat and dairy products like butter, cheese and oily foods. The cholesterol that our liver produces is good cholesterol and is beneficial for the body. But the cholesterol that increases due to diet is bad cholesterol, which is very important to reduce.
Now the question arises that how to remove this bad sticky substance from the body? According to Ayurvedic expert Swami Dhyan Nirav, if Isabgol husk is consumed mixed with curd, it easily removes the dirty cholesterol along with the stool. If you mix two to three spoons of Isabgol in a bowl of curd and eat it every day, your cholesterol will easily get removed from the body. Let us know how curd and isabgol control cholesterol.
How do curd and Psyllium Husk control cholesterol?
If you mix 2-3 spoons of Isabgol husk in curd and consume it once or twice a day, it forms a thin layer in your intestines. Due to this, bad cholesterol is not absorbed in the intestines and goes out directly with the stool. By consuming it, not only the stomach remains clean, but the intestines and blood arteries also become clean and flexible. This maintains proper blood flow and reduces the risk of cholesterol accumulation. This is the reason why Isabgol is considered very beneficial for heart patients. Isabgol is rich in fiber. It forms a gel-like layer in the intestines, which binds bad cholesterol (LDL) and prevents it from being absorbed. In this way it passes out with the stool.
What is the effect of eating Isabgol with curd on health?
The probiotics present in curd and the soluble fiber of Isabgol form a layer in the intestines which removes bad cholesterol and keeps the stomach clean. Isabgol relieves constipation and curd strengthens the digestive system. The combination of both cleans the intestines. The good bacteria and fiber of Isabgol present in curd provide relief from gas, indigestion and acidity. The combination of these two things also helps in controlling weight. Curd is rich in protein, which controls overeating. The combination of curd and isabgol keeps the blood vessels clean and improves blood flow. Consuming it prevents the risk of heart attack and stroke. Both these foods control diabetes.
