What Are the Causes of High Cholesterol?

Your doctor tested you and you have high cholesterol. What are your causes of high cholesterol? You are shocked, you believe your health is at risk.

You have been following a low cholesterol diet, avoiding eggs and fatty foods. Why is this happening to you?

Everywhere the assumption is that it is your diet. Yet, the very best diets for high cholesterol fail to make much of a dent. The Buck was full of cholesterol, yet he ate the perfect, vegan zero cholesterol diet.

People that live in the Alaskan wilderness have very high cholesterol diets, as they rely mainly on hunted meat. Yet, their cholesterol levels are excellent.

Some of the causes of high cholesterol are related to the healing phase of resolving a territorial conflict.

During the conflict active phase, the coronary arteries stretch and suffer micro-tears. This allows greater blood flow for emergency action and stamina.

It is interesting that when facing an emergency or major stress, cholesterol levels will immediately drop significantly.

When the conflict is resolved cholesterol forms to aid in the healing process. At the peak of the healing phase a heart attack may occur.

This is why high cholesterol is incorrectly blamed on heart attack risk. Yes, there is a correlation, but it is not the cause; anymore than a cart causes a horse to move.

Chronic high cholesterol can also be a symptom of a territorial conflict syndrome.

For example, an employee is constantly on guard due to a threatening boss (conflict active); when she arrives home she can relax in peace (healing phase).

Chronic high cholesterol can also be caused by a self-sufficiency conflict. One thinks, "I can only count on myself", and "I won't let anybody help me, because nobody else can do it right."

On the opposite side those that play the helpless damsel in distress also can have cholesterol problems.

So, the best natural ways to lower cholesterol is to gladly accept help from others,yet remaining responsible, give up materialism, and work in a pleasant environment. Working for unhappy and nasty people is plain unhealthy.

And most important of all- talk about it, or write about it in a diary. It is the unspoken feelings from the conflicts that wreck havoc with your health.

For the Alaskan families, there are no bosses to push them around, nobody intruding, and no worries about loosing their territory.
