Homocysteine is a common amino acid in your blood. You get it mostly from eating meat. High levels of it are linked to early development of heart disease. In fact, a high level of homocysteine is a risk factor for heart disease. It's associated with low levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folate, as well as renal disease 1. B vitamins: Folate, along with vitamins B6 and B12, has been shown in numerous studies to help lower homocysteine levels. So the foods rich in vitamin b and folic acids therefore may be more effective at lowering homocysteine levels. 2. Take green vegetables, orange juice and beans. 3. Avoid methionine-rich foods like red meat and dairy products. 4. Exercise, as patients in a cardiac rehabilitation program showed a reduction in homocysteine from exercise alone. 5. Decrease or eliminate alcohol and smoking. For homeopathic medicines, contact us.
