I never paid attention to cholesterol levels until my husband had a heart attack. I wish I had paid attention sooner. Still! He has changed his diet and is on medication now. It’s helping.

Once normal levels are reached through medication just a lifestyle change can keep it in check. Drugs have side effects.

Cholesterol is also a major problem among men and women all over the world but I think it becomes due to over dieting at homes or in parties. Now I tell you what is cholesterol:
Cholesterol is a white, waxy substance that is produced by animals and is present in foods like brains, egg yolks and meats like kidney and pate. Most people take in about 1 gram of cholesterol every day. The body also makes its own cholesterol; it forms an important part of cell structure and is necessary for the production of various hormones.Triglyceride is the other main type of fat. It is found in both animal and plant foods, and we take in about 100 grams each day. The bulk of the animal fat in our diet is in the form of triglycerides. Despite this, people still talk about the amount of cholesterol in our diet as if it is a big issue. Our main concern is the total intake of animal fat.
The fat in our diet is an entirely different matter to the level of the fats in the blood. The blood cholesterol level is more important than the triglyceride level when it comes to the risk of coronary artery disease. However, after many years of looking like an innocent bystander, an elevated triglyceride level is now considered to be an additional risk factor.
The good news is that high cholesterol is treatable with safe and effective medication, dietary changes and exercise. The best news? Tweaking your health habits can make you feel and look better—fast!

I am so sorry about that worst situation when your doctor did not do his job well.Better find another doctor. Some doctors this time are not anymore doing their job well.If they feel do not like their job, they have to resign. Why was that doctor prescribed you a tablet that increased your heart beat.That doctor is not credible.Better you did not complain. My best suggestion is to find another doctor through a recommendation.I hope you are very fine this time.Take care.

Felt it is true that some doctors nowadays are only working for the money part of it. They are not as dedicated as they should be in seeking with patients and it’s really sad. But I wouldn’t really blame the doctor for the prescription coz different people react differently to treatment could be it was too strong for her.but all the same he should have found another alternative to it.
-
Sadly all BP drugs have side effects.
-
-
Doctors cannot help because their hands are tied. They can only prescribe what is available but they will not suggest a holistic approach as outlined by me which is what is required.

That is one of the bewilderments of most scientific inventions Especially in the health field. Almost every drug will have its own side effect. Why must this be so?
Why not prouduce drugs that will cure what it was assigned to cure in the body instead of causing other minor, sometimes major unwanted reactions in the body.The only solution lies with the spiritual. It is only God’s blessings that will make rich and add no sorrow to it.
Know that God! He’s the one who ultimately keeps you healthy.

Your right about that onyedikachi many are the times when we think that we can do stuff on our own but the truth is it’s God who knows everything that goes on about us. So even as we take those medicine a that we are prescribed for, we need to remember that the doctor administers but God does the healing
-
Staying positive is one way to bring God in one’s life.
-
-
As I have commented doctors stick to their own discipline and never recommend what they are not professed in. I have mentioned a few things that patients could resort to including trust in God as you have said.

Wow very sorry to read of your predicament even though hypertension is a difficult condition to take care off, you have said it being positive and being prayerful is essential for someone’s healing. Am glad that you are taking it well and trying your best to maintain the condition.However I feel that it may be a good idea to seek medical attention from another doctor that could be helpful also. I wish you a long life free of pain and medicine in Jesus name Amen. Keep the positive attitude and all shall be well all the best.
-
As I have mentioned, doctors can only do so much with drugs available. All drugs have side effects no matter which doctor it will be. They will not suggest anything beyond their profession.
-
-
I’m sorry about your experience.
-
What I have stated is the experience all patients face as most drugs have side effects.
-
-
Most doctors do not resort to a holistic approach and that is when patients should do it for themselves. An Allopath will not recommend homoeopathy and so on.
-
As an ex registered nurse I understand your dilemma. Any other doctor that you would consult would prescribe probably the same treatment or some other medication “with side effects”. I used to say to every one of my patients that every person reacts to medication in their own way and thus side effects exists. But at least you have a very positive attitude towards your condition and you consulted other therapists. That is great….
-
Nice to meet a nurse here. Doctors will not get out of their box. I did have a general practitioner who is no more who was into other therapies besides allopathy. But I have not given up. Let me see how to get a plan for me.
Thanks for visiting.

Those are some good facts right there. If there is anything I like about plants is how they grow. It’s really interesting to watch and see how the seed germinates into a flower. Airlayering is one way that i have never heard about am reading about it now thanks for sharing this facts very informative
Thanks. Nature is marvelous indeed.
Growing plants is a skill but Plant propagation is the process of creating new plants from a variety of sources: seeds, cuttings, bulbs and other plant parts. Plant propagation can also refer to the artificial or natural dispersal of plants.
ropagating plants is an inexpensive and easy way to get new plants from plants you already have. This asexual means of reproduction produces a plant that is genetically identical to its parent.
There are a variety of plant propagation tools and methods; from taking cuttings to layering to dividing and more. The technique you select will depend on the type of plant you wish to propagate and the amount of time and effort you want to put into it.
One of the most amazing things about plants is that every cell has the ability to duplicate all parts and functions of the plant. By taking a cutting of a leaf or stem and creating the right conditions, you can create an entirely new plant (see Plant Anatomy Basics).
Start with a stock or “mother” plant that is in great health and has plenty of stems, so that if one is removed, it will not harm the plant.
Houseplants are often quite easy to propagate. Look for a healthy stem absent of flower buds, disease and insects. Using a sharp, sterile knife make a clean cut at a 45° angle to maximize the rooting area. Cuttings should be about 3-6 inches long (shorter if the plant is small) and include the tip of the stem, and at least two or three sets of leaves attached.
Remove the bottom set of leaves (new roots will often develop from this area) and dip the end you just cut into rooting gel. This will help seal the cut plant tissue and promote new root growth (optional). Then place the cutting into a small pot with moist vermiculite, perlite or other soilless potting mix.
Be sure to poke a small hole in the growing medium before placing the cutting into it. This way the rooting solution won’t rub off of the stem
