Cholesterol

Cholesterol

Bad Cholesterol is a major factor of heart diseases; it is quite difficult to lower the bad cholesterol from the blood. I had high total cholesterol due to bad eating habit and it took almost ten yours to bring under normal level. There are several medications available, in my case medications did not help that much so I stopped taking it. There are two steps to lower the Cholesterol level, first diet and another one is exercises. You need to concentrate in both otherwise it won’t help.

Diet:

Breakfast-

 you need to mix healthy cereals like Cheerios, Grahams and Kashi Go Lean in a jar. Eat cereal with fat free milk three to four times in a week. If cereal is not good enough to keep you until lunch time, eat one healthy snack bar-contains nuts and almonds. Also you can have scrambled egg/toasted bread once in a week. You can have different breakfast for the remaining two days.

Lunch-

You need to make a sandwich contains Turkey, fat free ham, fat free cheese, chicken, Lettuce and some vegetable leaves. Also eat some fruits except banana with the sandwitch, low fat yogurt mixed with blackberry or strawberry also needed. You need to eat sandwich as lunch for four days in a week. You can have different food remaining three days of the week; make sure it is non greasy or no fat food.

Dinner-

You can have heavy or mild dinner every day; make sure it is more balanced food. It is better to lower the amount of food, add more fruits or salads in the menu.

Drinking 2 glasses of spring water every day is recommended.

Exercise:

You need to spend at least one hour of exercises using elliptical, thread mills, rowing machine and bike riding. If you are carrying a pedometer, you should make 6000-8000 steps in a day. You need to spend at least 5 days per week for exercises.

If you follow the diet and exercise for a year, your Cholesterol level will be decreased to a comfortable range.

Remedy for Cough

Cure for Dry Cough

Cough always comes after influenza or sore throat or fever. Fever will disappear after two or three days but dry cough will remain for weeks. Even if you consume Codeine or cough suppressant, sometimes cough becomes worse. I found a remedy which can cure annoying dry cough. Cough causes chest pain and it annoys others and difficult to go for work.

Take small piece of Ginger, slice into tiny pieces, make it wet and squeeze it get juice. You need a minimum a tea spoon of Ginger juice. Also you need a tea spoon of black pepper powder. Cut a piece of banana into a bowl, and mix it with Ginger juice and black pepper powder. The mixture will be in semi liquid form and add a tea spoon of honey into it and mix it thoroughly. Consume one spoon of the mixture every 3 hours followed by half glass of lukewarm water.You may need a day or two for the complete recovery.

Remedy for Viral Infection

Fighting Viral infection

Viral infection sometimes dangerous and is life threatening. Recently, I had a viral infection and I felt it is something unusual. I went to ER and they gave Tylenol and advised me to drink fluids. They even did not perform any blood or urine test. I heard stories that some patients died within a week. Make it short, if you feel you have severe viral infection, Please read this blog carefully.

Measure your body temperature every 4 hours, if the temperature is above 102 F, take 2 Tylenol or 2 Ibuprofile every 4 hours alternate. Make sure you drink half glass of orange juice or ginger ale alternate every 30 minutes. Since body is fighting against the virus, drink only fluids .Once the body temperature goes below 102 F at least for a day, you are improving. Some cases you may need 2 to 3 days to control the fever. If your body temperature falls below 102 F, then you are in Stage 2. Take bath in lukewarm water at least 2 times a day.

If the body temperature never stable and unable to control, you may need to consult a doctor immediately or go to ER.

Stage 2

You may need to take one Ibuprofile every 4 or 6 hours, try to avoid Tylenol. Drink a glass of Ginger ale or Orange Juice every hour alternate. Also you can drink hot soup only liquid portion. Make sure the Soup is hot enough. I consumed boiled rice with hot water. I added Lemon pickle to add some Vitamin C. Also you can eat fresh Oranges. After one or 2 days, you may feel improvement. If your temperature is not going up above 101 F, then you are moving to Stage 3. Take bath in lukewarm water one or two times.

Stage 3

In this stage, your body needs some Vitamin C to fight against the virus. You may need to drink Lemon/Ginger tea 3 times a day. The way to make tea is, pour tea leaves in boiled hot water, add sliced pieces of Ginger into tea. Leave the tea boiling for 4 minutes. Turn off the stove; add 2 slices of lemon into tea. Keep it for 4 minutes then Pour the tea using a filter into a drinking cup. Add 1 tea spoon of honey into tea. You may need to drink tea 3 times of a day. Also eat fresh Oranges, drink enough spring water. Also you can eat light hot foods like vegetable soup. Also you need to expose to fresh air and take bath in lukewarm water. If your body temperature falls below 100 F, then you are moving to Stage 4.

Stage 4

Your body fever is under control, it needs energy to put the digestion system in normal. You can eat lots of fresh fruits, drink Spring water, lemon/Ginger/honey tea if needed. Also you can eat normal food, make sure the quantity is just half of your normal quantity. Once you feel that your body is back to normal, you can increase the quantity of food. Make sure you are eating protein rich foods. Avoid fries, fried foods, frozen foods, cold Sand witches and oily foods. After a day you body should be back to normal and you can go back to normal work. In a severe case, you may need a week for the complete recovery.
