High blood cholesterol is usually caused by a poor diet: an unhealthy diet full of ingredients that are harmful to the body. Sustained elevated blood cholesterol levels can adversely affect the health of the body. A proper diet is the main factor contributing to lowering cholesterol. You should also familiarize yourself with natural methods such as herbs for lowering cholesterol.
Cholesterol – a dangerous compound
Cholesterol is a compound from the group of sterols – lipids, i.e. fats. Cholesterol is an essential component in the body for the synthesis of vitamin D3 and bile acids. Cholesterol is also involved in the production of sex hormones.
Cholesterol itself is not bad – it is also a component of cell membranes in all cells in the body. However, excess cholesterol in the body is very dangerous, and its consequence may be an increased risk of heart disease and cardiovascular disease. Elevated blood cholesterol levels can even cause serious health problems such as atherosclerosis, and a heart attack or ischemic stroke.
In blood cholesterol tests, cholesterol levels greater than or equal to 240 mg / dL (6,21 mmol / L) are defined as high. The results are also interpreted according to the type of cholesterol, HDL or LDL found – “bad” and “good” cholesterol.
The norms of blood cholesterol test results are as follows: total cholesterol: 114–200 mg / dl; HDL cholesterol in women:> 50 mg / dL, HDL cholesterol in men:> 40 mg / dL; LDL cholesterol: <100 mg / dL; triglycerides: <150 mg / dL.
