Health and Cholesterol

It is said that if cholesterol level of people is reduced by 25%, coronary diseases can be reduced automatically by about 50%.High serum cholesterol and coronary heart diseases are linked with each other.Higher the cholesterol there is higher risk of such diseases and complexities of body systems and basic synergy of vital organs of our body.It certainly changes with lifestyle and age but it should be regularly checked and controlled by us.If the level is more than two hundred at any point of time, a person over 4o should get it checked annually.HDL and LDL are names of lipid matters of serum which are contrary in features.These should also be kept in proper balance separately and determined with caution by lipid profile test.Poly unsaturated fats, sunflower, corn, soybean and cotton seed oil help to reduce overall cholesterol level.Some mono saturated fats like olive oil and peanut oil also reduce it.Cholesterol level can be easily reduced if meat, egg, ice-cream, butter and fish are reduced in our diet and removed gradually from our dishes.Oat, rice bran, wheat bran and whole grains reduce cholesterol because of the fibre contents in them.
Regular exercise increase HDL and it reduces the risk of coronary heart diseases immensely that is why it is called good cholesterol in common language.Low fat in our body, a high fibre diet, balance of lipids in our blood are the key factors for all this.Simply by decreasing the risk of development of atherosclerosis we can lead long and healthy life.

Changing the Life Style

Doctors sometimes tell us that there is very little hope or nothing more can be done. They might even say there is no possibility of getting better. All this is only authenticated lie because all of us know that as soon as you alter your behavior and style, things dramatically changes and human immune system starts changing drastically. That is why people who keep searching, asking questions, reading books and articles, ask friends for ideas, try to discuss promising people and practicing physicians of different system of healing, always find the way.
In fact what really heals is consciousness of ultimate power i.e. nature. All the clinical methods only accelerate and promote it. It has also been established that difficult patients are more likely to get better than the nice one having very routine type of diseases and ailments. People have solved very serious health problems, stopped the progression of diseases and eliminated medication. Obviously willingness to change and adopt new things is strongest predictor of success in this field. The great consciousness teaches and body knows how to heal. We shall only oust our ego out and remove our rigid concepts; spontaneous healing will automatically follow. We have to identify encroachments and hindrances and gradually remove them. Improvement thus by changing life style becomes evident.

The Bondage-2

Ravan of Ramayana is a symbolic presentation of lust, anger, greed and ego.Laxman Rekha was soul consciousness of pure self which he could not cross.Similarly the golden deer of Ramayana was a symbolic representation of worldly attractions.
Ram Charit Manas and Ramayana teach us that the two separate class and factors are consciousness and body which can never join or unite.They are contrary in nature and separate in basic features.Consciousness wrongly identifies itself with ego and body, though this bondage is farce and non existent.

Mind, The Bondage

Superimposition of non-self our self culminated by likes, dislikes and ego etc. is the real problem.Self is verily one and it can never have many parts but body is consisted of parts and cells of different type.Self and body never mingle and behave as one because of their contrasting nature.This feel of mingling and identification is ignorance and cause of bondage, worldly achievements and fulfillment of desires cause superlative perception of our self creating a mantle of ego which regularly creates pride and selfishness.
This is executed by a player called mind.Mind in fact alone is ignorance representing the darkness by itself, it is cause of bondage and it has to be destroyed.If positive motivation and thoughtfulness is practised and done gradually the whole phenomenal world is destroyed catching the mind in this manner.
If we seek result in our action, we unwillingly create energy of bad type and matter which turn things into manipulable objects, this goes to create further bondages.Gradually things turn into apparatus and our self and everything in this world operates as manipulable objects only.This is how we are bound to space and earthiness and finally accept the world which is false and even the Self is denied in this process, which is the only reality.Self is only to be evident and then ego will die.As soon as the result becomes immaterial for us, bondage will be extinguished.This bondage in fact is a farce which never existed.
