ABOUT US

From the desk of Dr. Nandita Shah...

Cholesterol is something that few understand but many are worried about. Cholesterol is a substance that is produced by our body and is needed for the proper functioning of brain. It has other functions too. When the blood becomes thick due to dietary fats, it injures the artery walls. These injuries are bandaged with cholesterol. Over the years of bad eating, the arteries get progressively narrowed, thereby also raising the blood pressure. Despite this a blood test may not show high levels of cholesterol just because the cholesterol is lining the arteries and not free in the blood.

When we change to a low fat, whole plant based diet the blood becomes thin again and helps dissolve the cholesterol that is lining the arteries. That's when the serum cholesterol levels rise. This is not harmful. When you are no longer adding cholesterol to your body through the diet, you are now creating the conditions for the arteries to re-open.

Although there are many drugs to fight cholesterol levels these days, these drugs only give us better looking reports. They neither help in the healing process nor do they create a healthier body. They do create a few side effects and can even raise the blood sugars. The very best way to control cholesterol levels is to stop adding cholesterol to your body and assist the accumulated cholesterol to find its way out. This can be done with a sensible diet plan and without any medicines.

We got back our health!' - Radhika & Bharat Godhkindi

Radhika & Bharat Godhkindi attended our 21 Day Health Retreat in June 2019, with a bag of health issues and medicines for asthma, cholesterol, blood pressure and knee pain. One year later, they were off their medicines and found a new lease of life. Get inspired by listening to them in this video about how beautiful the whole food plant based journey really is.

Cholesterol Knows & Know-Nots

One of the biggest myths is that nuts are high in cholesterol. Cholesterol is produced by the liver and plants don’t have one! But animals do, so meat, dairy, eggs and even fish are full of cholesterol. Humans are animals so we also produce and need cholesterol. But too many of us have high cholesterol levels.
