Green tea keeps it’s wonderful benefits right in front of us as one new discovery after another, is brought to our awareness. In this article, Ayurveda Remedies To Lower LDL Cholesterol, we now discover a recent study comprising around 1400 adults that lowered their LDL Cholesterol with green tea.

Ayurveda wise, green tea has been associated with how it works with chi – and more so digestive chi (metabolism). A slight increase in metabolism, without nervousness, is a major benefit.

This study related to Ayurveda Remedies To Lower LDL Cholesterol was found at Natural News.com and was written by Elizabeth Walling.

Here is the start of the piece:

(NaturalNews) Green tea hits the spotlight once again, this time as a natural remedy for lowering LDL cholesterol levels. It has already been shown to prevent flu, improve heart health, and fight obesity, and now researchers at Western University of Health Sciences in California say green tea can also shave a few points off your “bad” cholesterol.
Published in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, the study pooled results of 20 clinical trials which included 1,415 adults. The trials, which lasted anywhere from three weeks to six months, used green tea in liquid or capsule form, in addition to placebos for control groups.
Results show that participants, who began the trials with high cholesterol, saw their total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol decrease by 5 to 6 points. Although the decrease was not drastic, it was large enough to be statistically significant. Researchers saw no effect on HDL cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
The capsules contained green-tea catechins, compounds which researchers assumed offered the possible cholesterol-lowering benefits. However, the green tea in its brewed form was consistently more effective than the capsules in lowering LDL cholesterol levels. Once again, whole ingredients offer more benefits than isolated compounds.”
