Guest guest Posted November 24, 2003 Report Share Posted November 24, 2003 My LDL is at 130, HDL at 56 and VLDL at 24. Triglycerides at 125. Have no fat around the abdomen (marginal). The cooking oil used is Olive oil. Very little consumption of dairy products and sugar. I do consume 5 fresh anwla either in whole or juice form for about 6 months in a year. Although a trained Yoga teacher, my practice of yoga is irregular and other exercises non existant. Regarding your other question about ayurvedic resources its not entirely clear as to what information are you seeking. But if there is anything you can use from my nursery of about 150 medicinal plants or a farm with thousands of naturally growing medicinal plants (trees, shrubs, herbs and climbers) you are most welcome.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2003 Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 even marginal amounts can be indicative of insulin resistance. Perhaps a better question would have been do you still have the waist you had in your late-teens or early 20's? Even 5-10 lbs that represents nothing more that the proverbial 'love handles' is enough indication of insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia. even elderly folks in primitive societies tend to maintain the hip:waist ratio they had in youth glad to hear you use olive oil, although make sure its not 'pumice' oil, or olive oil mixed with canola. IMO, the true test to see if you can reduce dyslipidemia is to eat a sustained low carb diet for at least 2 months and then get your blood tested again. you can find the diet I recommend here: http://www.wrc.net/phyto/paleodiet.html or something similar to a healthy version of the Atkins diet, emphasizing high quality meats and fats, and lots of above ground vegies - dramatically reduce all carbs, including root vegies... if you are a vegie I'm not sure you'll be able to correct the dynamic In the meantime, all the herbs I mentioned, plus omega3 fatty acids (epa/dha, 1000 mg ea/d), chromium (200 mcg 3x/d) and magnesium (800 mg/d). not exactly ayurvedic, but it works... > But if there is anything you > can use from my nursery of about 150 medicinal plants or a farm with > thousands of naturally growing medicinal plants (trees, shrubs, herbs > and > climbers) you are most welcome. excellent Vinod, thank you!
