No to Cholesterol

There are many food items which are rich in Cholesterol and saturated fat and they are harmful to health. Items such as

Pizza

Ice-cream

Tikki, samosa etc

These food items also contain high content of saturated fat, calories and starch. They don't provide anything beneficial to the body.

Garlic, berry, and almonds- They contain anti-oxidants and omega-3 which help in controlling cholesterol, make heart healthy, increase immunity, control blood clotting, depression and also make memory sharp.

Vitamins and minerals that are essential for the body can be consumed by the intake of food items that are rich in vitamins and also synthetic vitamins which are easily available at best price these days at pharmacy stores. Consuming synthetic vitamins daily or occasionally can help in recovering the vitamin level in the body. They can also be ordered online from various websites of discount chemists as they might provide some special offers. Vitamins online ordered can be harmful also as they might be of the expiry date.

The disadvantages of synthetic vitamins are they do not provide the essential nutrients that can be taken only from plants. They are not standardized and this is the main reason why they are unable to provide the plant-sourced nutrients. They also have toxin effects which can make you sick.
