HANDO® – NOPAL
Nopal against too high cholesterol
Cholesterol is a vital substance, but excessive cholesterol levels are dangerous. Nopal not only regulates blood sugar, it also has a beneficial effect on cholesterol levels.
Cholesterol is important for the body: it is needed to build cell walls and is also a building block for some hormones. Cholesterol can have a harmful effect in addition to its useful properties: Increased cholesterol levels can lead to calcification of the vessels (arteriosclerosis) and subsequently to heart attacks or strokes. However, cholesterol is not the same as cholesterol: In common parlance, “good” HDL cholesterol is distinguished from “bad” LDL cholesterol.
A balanced diet is important to naturally lower cholesterol levels. Thanks to its valuable active ingredients, Nopal is suitable for supporting a cholesterol-conscious diet:
The high proportion of pectin is particularly valuable in the fight against cholesterol.
The amino acids and fibres of the Nopal cactus prevent the conversion of excess blood sugar into fat, which has a positive effect on total triglyceride and “bad” LDL cholesterol levels.
