Kick~in Cholesterol

Blender’s Notes Kick~in Cholesterol:

Steep Me Self Help combinations are a fantastic way to get health benefits outside of the standard tea leaf. This combination of herbs was built to help reduce the build-up in your vessels while enhancing your digestive qualities and heart health. What is cholesterol? What does it do? Cholesterol is a waxy substance throughout the body. It is not “bad” unless you have too much of it. Your body needs it to build cells and make vitamins and other hormones. But too much cholesterol can pose a problem. Cholesterol comes from two sources. Your liver makes all the cholesterol you need. The remainder of the cholesterol in your body comes from foods from animals. For example, meat, poultry, and dairy products all contain dietary cholesterol. Those same foods can also be high in saturated and trans fats. These fats can increase the cholesterol in your body. For some people, this added cholesterol means they go from a normal cholesterol level to one that is unhealthy. Some tropical oils, such as palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil, contain saturated fat that can increase bad cholesterol. These oils are often found in baked goods. Cholesterol circulates in the blood. As the amount of cholesterol in your blood increases, so does the risk to your health. High cholesterol contributes to a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases, such as heart disease and stroke. That is why it is important to have your cholesterol evaluated, so you can know your levels. The two types of cholesterol are: LDL cholesterol, which is bad, and HDL, which is good. Too much of the bad kind, or not enough of the good kind, increases the risk cholesterol will slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries, such as those that feed the heart and brain. Cholesterol can join with other substances to form a thick, hard deposit on the inside of the arteries. This narrows the arteries and makes them less flexible – a condition known as atherosclerosis. This can lead to a blood clot forming, which can block one of these narrowed arteries causing a heart attack or stroke. What is Cholesterol? | American Heart Association

This blend is based on several highly prized teas. Sencha Green Tea, Wu-Yi Oolong Tea, Puerh Dark Tea, and African Red Rooibos. Sencha green tea is believed to promote heart health by reducing cholesterol levels, lowering blood pressure, and improving blood flow. The antioxidants in sencha tea, particularly catechins, are believed to be responsible for these benefits. Catechins slow down the accumulation of fat, which in turn removes bad cholesterol from the bloodstream, lowering the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Oolong tea has protective effects on heart health. It has been shown to lower total cholesterol, triglyceride, and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels. Oolong tea is rich in antioxidants, which may help reduce cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Long-term consumption of oolong tea is associated with lower blood levels of total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, and triglycerides. Pu-erh tea can help reduce cholesterol levels. It increases the excretion of dietary-fat-bound bile acid, which prevents fat from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Long-term ingestion of Pu-erh tea extract can significantly decrease levels of blood cholesterol. Rooibos tea, also known as red bush tea, has been linked to several health benefits, including potential positive effects on cholesterol levels. Rooibos can help improve the blood lipid profile, particularly for those at risk of heart disease. Specifically, it has been found to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and increase HDL (good) cholesterol. We also included Ginger, Cayenne, and Turmeric. Ginger has been shown to have positive effects on cholesterol levels because it can help reduce levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol, while also increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. This can contribute to better heart health and a reduced risk of heart disease. Cayenne pepper has an active compound called capsaicin that has been shown to help lower total cholesterol, LDL (bad) cholesterol, and triglycerides and it may help increase HDL (good) cholesterol. Turmeric contains curcumin which significantly reduced one type of lipid in more than two-thirds of the studies. Studies that used a bioavailable formulation of curcumin reported a better impact on lowering cholesterol.

Next, we added Hawthorne. Hawthorne may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. This can improve the overall cholesterol ratio, potentially reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Lemongrass was added because it has been traditionally used to treat high cholesterol and manage heart disease because it contains terpenoid compounds such as geraniol and citral that decrease cholesterol levels. Lemongrass is loaded with anti-hyperlipidemic and anti-hypercholesterolmic properties that can keep your cholesterol in check. Regularly incorporating lemongrass into your diet balances levels of triglycerides while decreasing levels of LDL cholesterol. Cacao can help relax arteries and blood vessels, improving blood flow. It lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. It reduces inflammation. It may reduce the risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke and can lower lipid levels and protect heart health. Rosemary may help lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and total cholesterol levels because it is rich in antioxidants, which can help prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a process that contributes to heart disease. Bilberries contain vitamin K and anthocyanins that may help reduce cholesterol and lower blood pressure especially significantly reduce LDL cholesterol levels and increase HDL cholesterol levels. Holy Basil may help reduce total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol levels and it might help increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, which is often referred to as “good” cholesterol because of its ability to target metabolic stress and its antioxidant properties. Finally, Fenugreek has steroidal saponins which may slow cholesterol absorption in the intestines and reduce liver production of cholesterol. Fenugreek has been reported to lower LDL and raise HDL cholesterol and can help regulate cholesterol levels and improve blood pressure.
