What is the norm for LDL cholesterol for an adult? What may the excessively exceeded result of this indicator indicate? Could it be the effect of the current lifestyle? The question is answered by the drug. Paweł Żmuda-Trzebiatowski.
What is the norm in an adult LDL cholesterol test?
Hello, I am 43 years old and I have never paid much attention to the right diet, the right amount of exercise and, in general, you could say that you lived in the moment. Unfortunately, malaise, joint problems and with their knees they sobered me up a little and led me to the ground. I know that proper nutrition is very important – so far I have eaten out and love fatty and spicy dishes. Together with the dietitian, we are already establishing the correct diet for me.
Either way, I was also commissioned Blood teststo see if everything is okay. What worried me the most was LDL cholesterol score. I wonder what it is the norm of LDL cholesterol in adultsbecause I do not want to believe that I have crossed it this way. I would also be grateful for information on what influences the exceeding of the LDL cholesterol norms, so that I can remedy the neglect of recent years. I will also mention that I have a sedentary job – I’m a computer scientist, I don’t do any sports – apart from walking the dog, but it probably doesn’t count, I smoke cigarettes – although I’m going to quit.
The doctor gives the LDL cholesterol level
Dear sir, for abnormal levels of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) concentrations greater than 115 mg / dL or 3.0 mmol / L are considered. LDL-C is considered to be the so-called “bad” cholesterol, although such a term is incorrect and may be misleading, as this fraction is also needed by the body to some extent. It is true that high concentration of LDL-C increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases, including heart attack and ischemic stroke.
Na LDL cholesterol level diet and lifestyle have a very large influence. Foods high in animal fats, simple carbohydrates and low in fresh vegetables and fruits increase the amount of LDL-C in the blood. The same is true for a sedentary lifestyle without any regular physical activity. You must also remember that smoking also increases the concentration of LDL-C, adversely affecting not only the respiratory system but also the cardiovascular system.
- Do you want to do a cholesterol level test at home? Buy Multifunction meter – glucose, cholesterol, uric acid – NOVAMA MultiCheck Pro +, which will allow you to conveniently and safely check your blood parameters regularly without leaving your home.
It is very good that you use the help of a dietitian, thanks to which it will be easier for you to implement healthy habits. However, in addition to a proper diet, you must take care of regular physical activity. Walking the dog is helpful, but may not be enough. I suggest using the help of a personal trainer who will create a set of exercises for you. You have a lot of hard work ahead of you, but you have to change your lifestyle, otherwise you risk death or disability at a young age.
- APCC – reishi, shitake, cordyceps, chaga – the YANGO dietary supplement available on Medonet Market will help in regulating cholesterol levels.
