‘Saturated Fats‘ has been accepted universally as the culprit for the increase in Cholesterol and t=increases the risk of heart Attacks has now been questioned.
In fact the medicines one takes to reduce the Saturated fats, increases the risk of a Heart Attack.
Reading Cholesterol Levels.
A couple of days I ago had my Annual Medical Check up.
The report indicated that there was a slight Liver damage.
I have no issues with the Liver and I do not Drink nor do I have a History of any problem with Liver Function.
The Consulting Doctor opined that there i nothing to worry as the slight damage will be self-regulated by the Liver( Liver is an Organ which repairs itself with out our being aware of it, and is also the reason when we come to know of Liver damage , it is late.
On being asked about the values of the Test Result, the doctor explained that this Liver damage could br due to the Statins medications I have been taking to control Cholesterol.
( please read my post on Understanding your Health reports).
Now to begin with as far as I could get information Fats i general do not have anything to do with Heart Attacks and Cholesterol has no link with Heart attacks.
Now information is on that

Scientists universally accept that trans fats—found in many fast foods, bakery products, and margarines—increase the risk of cardiovascular disease through inflammatory processes.1 But “saturated fat” is another story. The mantra that saturated fat must be removed to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease has dominated dietary advice and guidelines for almost four decades.
Yet scientific evidence shows that this advice has, paradoxically, increased our cardiovascular risks. Furthermore, the government’s obsession with levels of total cholesterol, which has led to the overmedication of millions of people with statins, has diverted our attention from the more egregious risk factor of atherogenic dyslipidaemia.
Saturated fat has been demonised ever since Ancel Keys’s landmark “seven countries” study in 1970.2 This concluded that a correlation existed between the incidence of coronary heart disease and total cholesterol concentrations, which then correlated with the proportion of energy provided by saturated fat. But correlation is not causation. Nevertheless, we were advised to cut fat intake to 30% of total energy and saturated fat to 10%.”3 The aspect of dietary saturated fat that is believed to have the greatest influence on cardiovascular risk is elevated concentrations of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. Yet the reduction in LDL cholesterol from reducing saturated fat intake seems to be specific to large, buoyant (type A) LDL particles, when in fact it is the small, dense (type B) particles (responsive to carbohydrate intake) that are implicated in cardiovascular disease.4
Indeed, recent prospective cohort studies have not supported any significant association between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular risk.5 Instead, saturated fat has been found to be protective. The source of the saturated fat may be important. Dairy foods are exemplary providers of vitamins A and D. As well as a link between vitamin D deficiency and a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular mortality, calcium and phosphorus found commonly in dairy foods may have antihypertensive effects that may contribute to inverse associations with cardiovascular risk.678 One study showed that higher concentrations of plasmatrans-palmitoleic acid, a fatty acid mainly found in dairy foods, was associated with higher concentrations of high density lipoprotein, lower concentrations of triglycerides and C reactive protein, reduced insulin resistance, and a lower incidence of diabetes in adults.9 Red meat is another major source of saturated fat. Consumption of processed meats, but not red meat, has been associated with coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus, which may be explained by nitrates and sodium as preservatives.10“
”
he article points out that saturated fat is believed to raise levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (so-called “bad” cholesterol), which in turn raises cardiovascular risk.
Yet only one type of LDL cholesterol seems to be associated with saturated fat intake, the article says. This type of cholesterol is called large buoyant (type A) LDL particles.
The second type of LDL cholesterol – the small, dense (type B) particles associated with carbohydrate intake – is linked to cardiovascular disease.
Recent studies have found no significant association between saturated fat intake and cardiovascular risk, writes Dr Malhotra. Instead, saturated fat has been found to be protective of the heart.
He points out that dairy foods provide important dietary sources of nutrients that have beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system, such as vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus.
Dr Malhotra’s article states that fat has been “notorious” for its higher energy content per gram in comparison with protein and carbohydrates.”
To the best of my knowledge they did not get heart attacks.
It is said that Gingely oil is good for over all Health including Heart.
Best is to follow time tested Food Habits that have been arrived at by the society over hundreds of years by the process of elimination, taking into account the climate as well.These will vary from Region to Region.
Let us follow them.
A recent large government study found that raising levels of HDL “good” cholesterol using a drug did not reduce the risk of heart disease. ..
Patients taking the medicine along with Zocor had higher levels of H.D.L. and lower levels of triglycerides, a fat in the blood. Despite these seeming improvements, the patients fared no better and may have done slightly worse than those taking Zocor alone. That is why the entire theory behind trying to increase H.D.L. levels in patients with heart disease may need rethinking…
LDL,HDL,Ratio, tend to be on the higher side etc will make you confused.
Here is an Infographic.
Understanding Cholesterol. from Tumblr.
s Cholesterol Good or Bad?
Just as homemade oil-and-vinegar dressing separates into a watery pool with a fat-slick topping, so also would fats and cholesterol if they were dumped directly into the blood. To solve this dilemma, the body transports fat and cholesterol by coating them with a water-soluble “bubble” of protein. This protein-fat bubble is called a lipoprotein.
Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) carry cholesterol to the tissues. This is “bad” cholesterol, since high LDL levels are linked to increased risk for heart disease.
High-density lipoproteins (HDLs) carry excess cholesterol back to the liver, which processes and excretes the cholesterol. HDLs are “good” cholesterol: The more HDL you have, the lower your risk for developing heart disease.
HDLs and LDLs are found only in your blood, not in food.
Test Your Cholesterol
Your risk for heart disease can be assessed with a blood-cholesterol test. In this test, your total-cholesterol reading should approximate the sum of your LDL, HDL, and other lipoproteins. If you have 3.5 milligrams of total cholesterol, or less, for every 1 milligram of HDLs, then your cholesterol ratio is ideal. According to guidelines from the National Cholesterol Education Program:
Total cholesterol should remain below 200 mg/dL, unless HDL is high.
LDL should be lower than 130 mg/dL.
HDL should be 40 mg/dl or higher.
However, if you have any risk factors for heart disease, you’ll want to get your LDL even lower, less than 100 is optimal, and less than 70 is targeted in people who have heart disease.
Saturated fats increase your total cholesterol levels and are generally associated with an increased risk of heart disease. In general, the harder a fat, the more saturated it is. Beef and dairy fats are mostly saturated fats. Liquid oils are usually unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated fats in olive and canola oils and polyunsaturated fats in safflower, corn, soybean, and fish oils. Coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils are exceptions to the rule; these liquid vegetable oils are highly saturated fats.
Eating foods with a lot of saturated fat may raise your risk for heart disease; this causes the amount of bad LDLs in your blood to increase while good HDLs decrease. Cut the saturated fat, and your blood-cholesterol levels and your risk for heart disease can fall, too. Your risk for cancer also decreases. A diet with more polyunsaturated fats, rather than saturated fats, lowers total blood-cholesterol levels, but unfortunately also drops HDL levels, so you lose both good and bad cholesterol. Olive oil is another story. This oil lowers total-blood cholesterol and LDL cholesterol without causing HDL levels to drop. By using olive oil, you can decrease your total-cholesterol levels while maintaining your HDL levels, thus decreasing your risk for heart disease. Fish also lowers heart disease risk. Consequently, olive and fish are the oils of choice.
Hydrogenated fats are liquid vegetable oils made creamy when manufacturers convert some of the unsaturated fats into saturated ones through a process called “hydrogenation.” This process also rearranges the molecular shape of the remaining unsaturated fats. The resulting shape is an abnormal “trans” shape.
Trans fatty acids constitute up to 60% of the fat in processed foods containing hydrogenated fats. TFAs raise blood cholesterol levels and increase heart disease risk even more than saturated fats. Knowing your fats gives you an edge when it comes to buying and preparing the right foods to eat. And when you steer away from the saturated fats and trans fatty acids, you can live a heart-healthy life. The bottom line is:
Eat less saturated fat and avoid trans fats completely.
Use olive oil, but in moderation if you’re watching your weight.
Fill your plate with fruit, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and legumes.
The saturated fat found mainly in meat and dairy products has been regularly vilified by health professionals and the media, but a new analysis of published studies finds no clear link between people’s intake of saturated fat and their risk of developing heart disease. In the new analysis in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition January 13, 2010, which combined the results of 21 previous studies, researchers found no clear evidence that higher saturated fat intakes led to higher risks of heart disease or stroke.
Those who are regular readers of this website over the last few years are well aware of my long standing opinion that saturated fats and cholesterol are not the cause of heart disease and this most recent analysis of the scientific literature has validated this opinion.
The demonization of saturated fat began in 1953 with Dr. Ancel Keys’ publication of a paper comparing fat intake and heart disease mortality, and the misguided ousting of saturated fat has continued ever since.
The idea that saturated fat is bad for your heart became so ingrained in the medical and health community, anyone daring enough to question this dogma was automatically viewed as a quack, regardless of the evidence presented.
Instead, trans fats became all the rage and have since saturated the market. But times are a-changing, and in many ways for the better. Medical scientists have finally begun to take a hard look at the link between saturated fats and heart disease – only to find that there is none.
Check with any Drinker,, he will tell you drinking makes bowel movements not easy.
As to Neurological conditions,intake of Alcohol is contra indicated with medicine.
In fact the main complaint against Drinking is that it attacks the Brain and the nervous system to make you tipsy.
As to Cancer, growth of Cancer affects the Liver and degenerates it, an Organ that regenerates itself.
Oncologists advise you to stop Alcohol for any type of Cancer.
“Good cholesterol. Beer and wine can both increase HDL cholesterol (the good kind). Going along with this, it can also help to prevent excess plaque build-up in your arteries. This can prevent hardening and clogging of said blood vessels (atherosclerosis), which relates back to point number one. We’ll drink to that. Just be wary of the empty calories that are in beer, especially darker brews. The lighter stuff won’t be so unkind to your midsection.
Arthritis. Alcohol can considerably lessen your chance of getting arthritis when you become old and wrinkly. However, booze is said to increase your risk of developing osteoporosis. So while a glass of wine might prevent your bones from getting persistently achy, it can make them more prone to snapping like twigs. It’s a fine line to walk, but you know what might help? White Russians. There’s milk and alcohol, together, and that means you can help your bones in two ways. It’s genius!
Fiber. Being derived from grains, beer is actually an alright source of fiber. In fact, 500 milliliters (a little less than two cups) of beer can provide over a quarter of your necessary daily intake of fiber. Of course, too much fiber may lead to toilet trouble. Well, maybe not trouble, but at the very least it can lead to a lot of wasted toilet paper. You don’t want to blow your beer budget on TP.
Certain cancers. Yup, even the threat of relapse and death from certain cancers can be reduced with a few swills of wine. Specifically, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and kidney cancer are said to be positively affected by-and maybe even prevented by-a little of the red. If it means you can avoid the difficulty and hardship of chemotherapy, why wouldn’t you down the occasional glass of Cabernet?
Neurological conditions. According to a few studies, partaking in a little alcohol once in a while may help keep Uncle Alzheimer and strokes at bay. The proteins in the myelin sheaths that help guard the neurological pathways in the nervous system respond positively to the alcohol. Of course, too much alcohol has been linked to the death of brain cells, so once again, moderation is the key here.
Life saving. Well, it may only be able to save you in one very particular way. Should you happen to ingest antifreeze for whatever reason, marathon-chugging vodka or whiskey could honestly save your life. The alcohol works by cancelling out the dangerous effects of ethylene glycol, the main component in antifreeze. Seriously!
As a final note, these do not apply to former alcoholics. If you used to throw back entire bottles of whiskey every night for years and have since sobered up, there’s no way falling off the wagon is going to help you more than staying steadfastly on it. Stay strong!
Sesame oil is a source of vitamin E.[13]Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant and has been correlated with lowering cholesterol levels.[14] As with most plant based condiments, sesame oil contains magnesium, copper, calcium, iron, zinc, and vitamin B6. Copper provides relief for rheumatoid arthritis. Magnesium supports vascular and respiratory health. Calcium helps prevent colon cancer, osteoporosis, migraine, and PMS. Zinc promotes bone health.
Besides being rich in Vitamin E, there is insufficient research on the medicinal properties of sesame oil. However, the following claims have been made.
Blood pressure
Sesame oil has a high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids[15] (omega-6 fatty acids)—but it is unique in that it keeps at room temperature. This is because it contains two naturally-occurring preservatives, sesamol and sesamin. (Normally, only oils predominately composed of the omega-9 monounsaturated oil, like olive oil, keep at room temperature.)
It has been suggested that due to the presence of high levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids in sesame oil, it may help to control blood pressure. It could be used in cooking in place of other edible oils and to help reduce high blood pressure and lower the amount of medication needed to control hypertension.[16]
The effect of the oil on blood pressure may be due to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and the compound sesamin, a lignan present in sesame oil. There is evidence suggesting that both compounds reduce blood pressure in hypertensive rats. Sesame lignans also inhibit the synthesis and absorption of cholesterol in these rats.
Those who gargle Gingely Oil do not get bad breath and Mouth ulcer is cured immediately.
Coconut oil contains approximately 92.1% saturated fatty acids, 6.2% monounsaturated fatty acids, 1.6% polyunsaturated fatty acids. The above numbers are averages based on samples taken. Numbers can vary slightly depending on age of the coconut, growing conditions, and variety.red: Saturated; orange: Monounsaturated; blue: Polyunsaturated
Look at people from Kerala, you can find their skin glowing, because they have Coconut in their food daily in some form or the other.
Coconut oil was supposed to be the devil himself in liquid form, with more poisonous artery-clogging, cholesterol-raising, heart-attack-causing saturated fat than butter, lard or beef tallow…
Its bad reputation caused a panic at the concession stands back in 1994, when the Center for Science in the Public Interest put out a study claiming that a large movie-theater popcorn, hold the butter, delivered as much saturated fat as six Big Macs. “Theater popcorn ought to be the Snow White of snack foods, but it’s been turned into Godzilla by being popped in highly saturated coconut oil,” Michael Jacobson, the executive director of the center, a consumer group that focuses on food and nutrition, said at the time…
According to Thomas Brenna, a professor of nutritional sciences at Cornell University who has extensively reviewed the literature on coconut oil, a considerable part of its stigma can be traced to one major factor.
“Most of the studies involving coconut oil were done with partially hydrogenated coconut oil, which researchers used because they needed to raise the cholesterol levels of their rabbits in order to collect certain data,” Dr. Brenna said. “Virgin coconut oil, which has not been chemically treated, is a different thing in terms of a health risk perspective. And maybe it isn’t so bad for you after all.”
Partial hydrogenation creates dreaded trans fats. It also destroys many of the good essential fatty acids, antioxidants and other positive components present in virgin coconut oil. And while it’s true that most of the fats in virgin coconut oil are saturated, opinions are changing on whether saturated fats are the arterial villains they were made out to be. “I think we in the nutrition field are beginning to say that saturated fats are not so bad, and the evidence that said they were is not so strong,” Dr. Brenna said.
Plus, it turns out, not all saturated fats are created equal.
Groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are considered a very healthy snack. Groundnut is the member of the legume family and is native to regions like South America, Mexico and Central America. However, it is successfully grown in other parts of the world as well. The name of the plant combines the morpheme ‘pea’ and ‘nut’. In the culinary sense, it is regarded as a nut, but in the botanical sense, the fruit of the plant is a woody legume. Since that is the case, the groundnut is actually a kind of pea. The groundnut is also known by different names like earthnuts, goobers, goober peas, pindas, jack nuts, pinders, manila nuts and monkey nuts. Throughout the world, they are known for their nutrition and health benefits. Read for information on the nutritional value and benefits of groundnuts.
Nutritional Value of Groundnut
Given here is the value of different nutrients in 100 grams groundnut.
Groundnuts and groundnut products are very beneficial in the treatment of hemophilia and other such inherited blood disorders. People suffering from nose bleeding also benefit from eating groundnuts and it is also helpful in reducing excessive menstruation bleeding in women.
Five main nutrients required by the body to maintain and repair the tissues namely food energy, protein, phosphorous, thiamin and niacin. These five nutrients are found in good quantity in groundnuts.
Groundnuts are rich vitamins and contain at least 13 different types of vitamins that include Vitamin A, B, C and E. along with this, groundnuts are also rich in 26 essential minerals like calcium, iron, zinc, boron, etc. these help in brain function and development and also help to maintain strong bones.
It is recommended that growing children, expecting women and nursing mothers consume roasted groundnuts with jaggery and goat’s milk. It is said to provide resistance and immunity against dangerous infections like Hepatitis and also Tuberculosis.
Groundnuts are rich in anti-oxidants and a chemical called resveratrol. These help in reducing the risk of contracting cardiovascular diseases, cancer risk and also help in anti-ageing, thus keeping the body young and fit.
Gingelly oil initially thought to raise Cholesterol.Now they say it is actually good for heart.
There is again a school of thought which says that Cholesterol prevents heart attacks.
Under the circumstances for Indians,it is better to proceed with our traditional cookery with ingredients thereon , seems to be the best, as our ancestors have had no problem of any sort by following this diet.
From personal experience ,Gingelly oil is best even for some irksome ailments.
If you have ulcer in the mouth, gargle a mouth- full of Gingelly oil and spit it out after 2 minutes.
Ulcers are gone.
Ground turkey. Even when ground turkey is labeled as 85% lean, it has 12.5 grams of fat in a 3-ounce portion, says Christine Rosenbloom, PhD, RD, Georgia State University nutrition professor emerita. Her advice: Ground turkey breast can be a heart-healthy substitute for ground beef, but watch the portion size because it’s not without fat.”
Added sugars (such as table sugar or high fructose corn syrup). One of the biggest surprises is that added sugars in processed and prepared foods are associated with decreased HDL levels. A study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association in April 2010 found an association between added sugars and blood lipid levels and discovered adults averaged 21 teaspoons of added sugars daily. “Increased added sugars are associated with blood cholesterol levels and heart disease risk,” says Leslie Bonci, MPH, RD, author of Guide to Better Digestion. Everyone would benefit by reducing the amount of added sugars in the diet because they can also lead to obesity and type 2 diabetes, Bonci says. The AHA recommends getting no more than 100 calories from added sugars on a 2,000 calories-per-day diet.
Mashed potatoes. “Most mashed potatoes, especially at restaurants, include hefty portions of butter, cream, whole milk, sour cream, and/or cream cheese, turning a perfectly healthy potato into a saturated fat bomb,” says American Dietetic Association spokeswoman Marissa Moore, MBA, RD. Order a plain baked potato and top it with vegetables, salsa, or low-fat sour cream. Another option: Enjoy the natural sweetness of a vitamin A-rich plain baked sweet potato.
Pizza. Just one slice of plain pizza has 10 grams of fat and 4.4 grams of saturated fat — and we all know that one slice without any pepperoni is not the usual order. Stick to one slice and top it with lots of high-fiber, filling vegetables.
Whole-fat dairy products. “Dairy foods are nutrient-rich, loaded with calcium, protein, vitamins, and minerals, but if your choice is full-fat, you could be getting a hefty dose of saturated fat,” says nutrition consultant and author Elizabeth Ward, MS, RD. For example, one cup of Fage Total Plain Classic Greek yogurt has 18g saturated fat, but if you choose their 0% variety, it has no fat. When you choose nonfat or low-fat, you get all the nutritional benefits without the extra calories or fat. If you love full-fat cheese, “portion control is the answer,” Ward says.
Plant foods from the tropics. Coconut, coconut oil, palm oil, palm kernel oil, and cocoa butter all sound healthy but they are the only plant foods that contain saturated fat, says Connie Diekman, Med, RD, Washington University nutrition director. “Read labels for these terms and enjoy them in small doses so they won’t sabotage your cholesterol level,” she says. Karmally calls pina coladas “heart attack in a glass — there are 602 calories and 20 grams saturated fat in a 12-ounce glass.” And Moore says, “Don’t forget about chocolate, when eaten in excess can lead to increased cholesterol levels.”
Ghee (clarified butter). In India, ghee is associated with healthful eating and honoring your guests but it is very high in saturated fat, just like butter, says Karmally. “It is also high in palmitic acid which is artery clogging.” Use heart healthy olive oil or a trans fat-free margarine instead of ghee.
Pie and pastries. “Flaky crusts, streusel topping, custard filling, cheese filled pastries — these all promise a hefty dose of saturated fat because they often include butter, shortening, cream, cream cheese, and/or whole milk,” Moore says. It is the butter or shortening that makes the crust so nice and flaky. Choose fruit pies and eat mostly filling and only a few bites of the crust for a lower-fat and calorie treat.
Movie theater tub popcorn. Regal Cinema’s medium-sized popcorn has a whopping 60 grams of saturated fat and 1,200 calories. Why? Because it is popped in fats, then topped off with more fat, earning it a spot on foods that can wreck your cholesterol level. Shave the fat and calories by skipping the buttery topping and opt for a smaller portion.
Maharshi Charaka puts seasame oil first in the list of items worth
adopting. This sweet and slightly salty taste oil has one special
property which attracted all ayurvedic community. Its power to
rapidly reach micro channels (Strotas) is remarkable. First it
reaches micro channels and then it gets digested. This way it gives
energy and alertness to all cells. It is appetiser causing extra
hunger, leading to proper digestion, therefore regarded as tonic also.
Best medicine for Vata disorders
Disorders such as Arthritis, stress incontinence, obessity owe their
existence to unbalance of Vata. Hypertension and CAD also belong to
Vatic category of diseases, though pitta and kapha can also coexist
in such cases.
One can use seasame oil as supportive diet in such cases. Seasame oil
is ‘grahi’ means causes Baddha action on stools and urine. Hence bed
wetting children can be given one handful of black seasame seeds to
chew and swallow every morning evening. Within a month significant
benifits can be seen. Due to cell-penetrating power of seasame oil,
it takes every medicine dissolved in it also to all cells. Hence most
of Vatic massage oils are made using seasame oil.
Good for teeth problems too
If your gums have become loose, tooth are paining, moving when
pressed, pus/blood coming out from gums and dentist may have
recommended removing all. Gargle with seasame oil. Astonishing
benifit has been obtained by those who believed in the power of
seasame oil and carried out this gargle thrice a day.
Makes skin smooth and shining
A serious problem in winter. When vata increases, skin dries out. It
becomes rough also. Vata really means inadequate flow of nutrients to
parts of body. Thus circulation of blood, hormones, cerebro-spinal-
fluid and signals in nerves, everything is governed by proper Vata
balance. Blocking of channels, arteries is what sets up disorders.
While massage can help in all vata disorders, generally seasame oil
is used for massage in most cases. Essential oils are also mixed in
to explot sharpness property of seasame oil.
Useful to women under Menopause
The women in menopause suffer due to many uterine diseases. Modern
practitioners advise hysterectomy under most circumstances. Ayurveda
regards these problems falling under Vata vitiation and advise use of
seasame oil as the first choice. Those advised hysterectomy can try
this. Chew finely black seasame seeds, one handful evry morning and
evening for six months. No hysterectomy will be needed thereafter for
lifetime. Further, simultaneously, they can take enima of seasame oil
and dashmul quath, Nirgundi etc, but under expert supervision. March
and Septemeber are ideal months in India for such enima. Dr Vasant
Lad has given a home panch karma procedure, already published on this
list.
Save yourself from Hypertension and CAD
Seasame oil is extensively used for patients of hypertension and CAD.
Ayurvedic experts use medicated seasame oil in shirodhara. This
treatment causes deep sleep. This in turn reduces blood pressure.
Massage by seasame oil improves blood circulation, which reduces
heart work load. Those who are in Maharashtra, India can call
National Association for Blind, Worli, Mumbai, where massage experts
are blind men and women. While they charge very reasonably and give
home service, proper training received by them and the dedication
they have to the profession, causes wonderful results. Their mind
power gets concentrated in their fingures.
Seasame oil actually reduces cholesterol, just like pure ghee of
Indian cow. ghee is already discussed on this list. Thse two, when
used in diet, will reduce the chances of heart stroke. Ayurvedic
medicines for heart are made from cow ghee. Take Arjuna Ghrutam,
Brahmi Ghrutam as examples. If one wishes to make a fast penetrating
medicine which reaches the strotas within say an hour, make it in cow
ghee.
Various practitioners, without understanding the great praise for
seasame oil by ancient sage, advise eating boiled beans and cereals.
The sales promotion campaigns by Multinational companies may have
caused this state. However, the Baghar (sauting) made by using this
oil, causes penetration of the molecules of mustard, cummin seeds,
fenugreek seeds into oil and therefore cereals. When these spices get
mixed this way, Vata pacifying property is imparted to curry. This is
also brought out in one old messasge on ayurvedaonline by Maharshi
Ayurveda experts.
When seasame oil is used for frying, it will become poison in the
same manner as all other oils. All oils, when start foaming under
heat, become poisons due to free radicals generated. To preserve all
vitamins, oil should not foam during heating. South indian diet uses
much less ghee, but use of seasame oil and coconut oil is maximum.
Dosa is not contra-indicated if seasame oil is used as a non-stick
medicum.
Also cold pressed oil should be used rather than hot pressed. Those
residing in Mumbai, Maharashtra can obtain cold pressed oil from
Yusuf Meherali Centre, Panvel, Mumbai. If you get it from some other
source, taste it before buying. It must give a little salty taste.
Use of seasame oil as cooking medium instead of other oils is the
first line in the diet recommendation of every patient this author
treats.
Heart disease is the biggest killer of both men and women.
According to the American Heart Association, nearly 70% of the US population has some level of heart disease.
Every 34 seconds, someone in the USA dies of a heart attack!
50% of those who have a heart attack never have a warning. In other words, the very first symptom of heart disease for these people is a heart attack!
33% of those without any prior symptoms of heart disease DIE from their first heart attack. In other words, their first symptom is death!
It is a silent but very deadly disease.
1,000,000 people per year die in the United States alone from atherosclerosis.
50% of people who die of a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels.
So we can’t just look at total cholesterol levels anymore. With 21st century technology, we have to look at a person’s levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, LDL (bad cholesterol), lipoprotein (a) and so forth.
The American Heart Association also says that some drug remedies increase the risk of a heart attack by 60%. Many high blood pressure drugs multiply the problem.
These drugs cause impotency in men, and cause gout, diabetes, headaches, dizziness, depression, and high cholesterol levels in both men and women.
Another set of drugs that conventional doctors give are called beta blockers. They cause nausea, sexual dysfunction, drowsiness, dizziness, low blood sugar, loss of appetite, fatigue and depression.
The most common statin-related problems are muscle aches or weakness, fatigue, memory and cognitive problems, sleep problems, and neuropathy (nerve damage), liver damaged and increased cancer risk.
Women taking statins [including Lipitor] have breast cancer rates 12 times higher than other women. Statins also deplete the body of CoQ10, which tends to be already abnormally low in women.
Having heart surgery is not the answer either. (I personally found that out too late).
Studies by Harvard Medical School researchers and the U.S. Government’s Office of Technology Assessment have concluded that a staggering 85% of bypass surgeries were not necessary.
Up to 42% of the 700.000 Americans who have coronary bypasses each year can expect to have diminished mental capacity.
Up to 50% of surgeries fail, requiring another bypass to restore adequate coronary blood flow.
Up to 4% die on the table.
Up to 5% suffer from a surgery-related stroke, due to the temporary shortage of oxygen to the brain.
80% return to their previous condition within 7 years.
19% have a heart attack, stroke or hemorrhage after surgery.
30% have slight brain damage.
20% suffer depression, and many men become impotent.
The way to avoid all that is to start a healthy lifestyle of proper diet, exercise and the intake of certain nutritional supplements. Cardio 360® provides everything anyone needs.
