1. High levels of cholesterol and triglyceride
As you already know, high levels of cholesterol and triglyceride are caused by consuming high amounts of saturated and trans fat resulting in the imbalance of omega 3 and 6, excessive fat remaining in the bloodstream, and bad cholesterol building up in the arteries. As we mentioned in the first step, changing some of those fats with good ones to counter the bad ones will help.

a) flax seed oilFlax seed oil contains high amounts of omega 3 and amino acid that not only help to balance the excess omega 6, but also help to reduce the level of bad cholesterol.

3. Heart diseases
Heart disease is irreversible. Most heart disease are caused by high blood pressure and cholesterol blocking the transportation of and reducing the level of oxygen in the blood resulting in our heart having to work harder to provide more nutrition for our body's cells for a prolonged period of time. Foods and supplements using the above will help to maintain a strong heart.
4. Weakening immune system
Weakening immune system may be caused by less oxygen flowing in our blood or nutritional deficiency inflammation as s resulting of high level of cholesterol clotting up in the arteries.

Intake of 1/4 tsp everyday not only helps to stimulate the production of insulin it also helps to strengthen our immune system fighting against the forming of free radicals, bacteria, virus, and inflammation. Overdose of cinnamon is harmful to your liver and kidney. You can buy cinnamon tea or cinnamon powder to make your tea at any local food store.

5. Mini stroke
Mini stroke is an early indication of stroke if left untreated. We know that mini stroke is either caused by the rupturing of small vessels in the brain or blockage of blood circulation somewhere in the body.

L- arginine is a type of amino acid that help to produce nitric oxide that helps to improve endothelial function and blood flow. It is hard to get sufficient L- arginine from food so taking supplements is required.

Vitamin E not only helps to repair cell damaged by free radicals on the endothelial lining, it also promotes the production of nitric oxide, the substance vital for preventing blocking of arteries.
c) Exercise
Moderate exercise 15 -20 minutes a day not only helps to increase circulation of blood, it also increases the level of oxygen and nitric oxide in our body. Elevation of nitric oxide can protect blood vessels from harmful constriction.
6. Obesity
Since obesity is caused by clotting up of receptors that sends signals to the pancreas no longer responding to the insulin level in the intestine resulting in over-production of insulin. It is recommended that the same remedies used to lower levels of cholesterol be taken as mentioned above.
7. Diabetes
Type II diabetes is caused by clotting of receptors that no longer respond to stimulate the production of insulin in our body as resulting in more glucose remaining in our blood. It is recommended that you eat more of the complex carbohydrate that slows down the digestion process, thereby glucose releases slowly into bloodstream for better managing. You also need to take foods, supplements as we mention above that help to lower your cholesterol resulting in restoring the normal functions of the receptor sites.
