Cholesterol is not scary, and nor it the problem. #常让人误解的胆固醇 #可怜的胆固醇

Cholesterol is what makes you smart and what makes acupuncture works (the brain receiving the signals from the stimulated points from the body).

The real culprit is our state of 𝐮𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 and lack of clarity in life that lead us to sugar craving and convenient food - refined carbs.

And I would like to stress, RICE is ok. Refined carbs means it's highly processed where the nutrients are being taken away (not whole food anymore) and grounded so we don't have to chew too much. That includes fruit juices and all the cheap snacks out there.

I can confidently say this as it helped many of my patients (there are more to it of course, like herbs and diet to reduce inflammations and the correct exercises to improve muscles condition around the core etc).

Don't stop eating good fats when you are told your cholesterol level is 'high'. It's your long term stress level and highly unhappy state of mind that you need to look into first and foremost. Most of the time, a really good long break, like 3 months off from your stressful environment - work or family, can heal the liver.

I can go on a lot more but I'll leave it for the individual consult session. 😃

Fascinating facts about cholesterol—what it is, where it comes from, what it does in the body, and how it is connected to heart disease.

Having your main meals made up of whole food is the best health regime you can do for yourself everyday.

Reduce the deep fried stuff, less fructose and red meat, and minimal gluten are my holy grails to fitness pre menopausal.

❌ sugary drinks
❌ alcohol

I want to bust the myth: YOU CAN TAKE RADISH 白萝卜WHILE TAKING CHINESE HERBS unless it has Rehmannia 熟地黄 in it. See comments below.
