Cholesterol and Heart Disease
Cholesterol is a soft waxy substance found in all of the body cells. It is a necessity since it is used to form the cell membranes, hormones and other important functions of the body. Cholesterol and other fats do not dissolve in the body and thus have to be transported by special carriers called lipoproteins.
There are several types of lipoproteins, but the important ones are Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and High-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL is the major carrier of cholesterol in the body. It is however, dangerous if present in large amounts because combined with other substances, it can coagulate in the walls of the arteries and form plaque.
The result of such formation is that the arteries start to thicken and less blood is able to flow through them. Such an occurrence is referred to as atherosclerosis. This is directly linked with heart disease since lower levels of blood flow can result in a heart attack.
HDL carries about one third to one fourth of the blood cholesterol and is referred to by medical experts as good cholesterol. The reason is that HDL removes plaque from the arteries and therefore it slows down their formation.
It is therefore necessary to keep a check on the levels of LDL and maintain high levels of HDL in the body to avoid heart disease. There are a number of ways in which this can be achieved. Foods that are rich in trans fats, like meat, egg yolk and dairy products increase the levels of cholesterol in the body. This problem is further accentuated by the production of cholesterol inside the body itself.
The human liver produces about all the cholesterol the body requires so any excess cholesterol intake proves to be an excess. Since foods which are rich in saturated fats lead to an excess in the amount of LDL cholesterol as well, it is necessary to keep a check on them. Physical activity is an effective way of increasing HDL levels.
Medical research recommends about 20-30 minutes of exercise every day so that the breathing and the heart rate may increase. This does not only prevent heart disease, but also abets blood pressure and diabetes. Smoking and high levels of alcohol consumption have also been proven to decrease the levels of HDL cholesterol and indirectly increase the risk of heart disease.

There are four forms of Yoga namely Gnana Yoga, Karma Yoga, Raja Yoga and Bhakti Yoga. Though the goal of all these is just one, the attainment of Salvation, the path of Bhakti is the easiest. There are mainly nine different branches of the practice of Bhakti Yoga. They are:
• Hearing about the glory of Lord: Chanting of the Lord’s name, singing in praise of him, listening to stories about the Lord.
• Meditating on the Lord: That is to remember the Lord.
• Providing physical service: Service to mankind can be included in this. This is equal to serving the Lotus feet of the Lord.
• Worshipping the Lord: This is by means of external rituals and practices.
• Offering Prayers to Lord: By means of hymns.
• Preaching about the glory of the Lord.
• Forming an internal communion with the Lord.
• Glorifying the Lord, by discussion of his attributes.
• Total surrender to the Lord. Attributing all activities to His grace.
Bhakti Yoga differs from other types of Yoga, by virtue of the fact that it can be cultivated as a part of life and does not require any special efforts. It comes to a person effortlessly and is best suited to today’s scenario. The practice of Bhakti Yoga also involves many community discussions and societies known as ‘Satsang”. This involves getting together of many people who are of the same wavelength and sharing of knowledge amongst them.
Hatha Yoga is the preparatory stage of higher forms of Yoga. In this type of Yoga, the body is prepared and purified to take up higher practices. This type of Yoga was founded by Yogi Swatmarama. He has also compiled a text known as Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The two syllables in Hatha, namely Ha and Tha mean Sun and Moon respectively and they denote the energy channels. The Hatha Yoga follows the same principles of Raja Yoga and this is the form of Yoga that people all over the world associate with the word Yoga.
Hatha Yoga has a set of principles. They mainly revolve around Asanas (The physical exercises), Pranayama (Breath control) and Meditation. However, Hatha Yoga that is practiced in Western countries is mainly of Asanas. The term Hatha represents opposing energies, namely hot and cold, positive and negative etc. There the Hatha Yoga balances the mind and the body. Hatha Yoga is one of the four main traditions of Tantra Yoga. The Asanas in Hatha Yoga have one main objective. That is, to practice meditation, there is a particular posture that needs to be taken and to feel comfortable in that posture, practice is required. It is only when the posture is mastered, one can delve in the subtleties and concentrated inwards. The other objective is to bring to the body energy and health.

Why do we lose our hair?
There are various factors responsible for our hair loss.
- The mechanical reason for losing one’s hair is, for example, the hair style, like: a pony tail or a bob. Such hairstyles make the hair to be pressed too much. In such cases you should simply consider changing your hairstyle. If you change it early enough, your hair will grow up again completely. However, if you wait for too long, your hair loss may remain because of the disappearance of your hair follicles.
- Falling out of hair happens also for various toxic reasons, mainly if a body gets intoxicated with arsenic (As), thallium (Tl) or mercury ((Hg). In case of talasemia there are some characteristic changes in the hair structure which can be observed under the microscope. Alopecia development appears about two weeks after taking the toxin in, and eventually hair loss is almost complete. However hair usually grows again within following six to eight weeks. In cases of body intoxication, first of all a patient is given an antidote to save his/her life.
- Exceeding hair loss during and after contagious diseases is caused mainly by high body temperature and, in addition, some toxic factors and food deficiency which may appear a disease is developing. Exceeding hair loss would usually appear between 2 and 4 month after the fever is gone. Hair grows back on its own accord. As body reinforcement, some vitamins and minerals are also given to patients. People who suffer from syphilis also deal with hair loss, which may be extensive or rather focal in its character. Of course, this type of disease needs specific kind of treatment which helps in growing hair again, too.
- Systemic illnesses which cause baldness are, for example, lupus erythematosus, but also hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. The treatment of hair loss in such cases is strictly connected with the treatment of the basic illness.
- Drug-induced baldness is caused by, for instance, cytostatics and immunosuppressants which are used in not only treating chronic cancer cases but also in dermatology in dealing with such illnesses as: difficult cases of psoriasis, systemic collagenosis or pemphigus. Hair loss is likely to appear in about third week after the drug is given. After we stop giving the medicine, and in some cases, in spite of further giving it to a patient, hair grows back again. Hair loss may be also caused by taking antithyroid drugs, anticoagulants and contraceptives. When we take contraceptives, however, the hair growth is never fully stopped.
- Hair loss is also connected with some skin diseases and scalp diseases. For example, in mycosis baldness would usually appear in the type of hairless inflammatory focus (es). The treatment in such cases means giving the patient oral and local antimycotic remedies.
