Overview of high proof cholestrerol

Cholesterol is a type of fat in the body. As the flow of blood fats (plasma) of us, it can stick to the inside of blood vessels and clog the blood vessels, especially coronary heart (coronary arteries).

Cholesterol in food but also made ​​from the liver (liver) of us. Cholesterol is used to make the shells of cells (cells walls), hormones (hormones), vitamin D, green bile (bile acids) and so on. If high blood cholesterol to the liver for making too much cholesterol, the patient will have high blood cholesterol levels. Since then easily congested blood vessels and lead to disease. Since only new animals have cholesterol patients will be on cholesterol eat more plants. However, the fat will be processed from plants in the patient's body to make cholesterol. So eat a lot of oil (ie vegetable fat), will lead to high blood cholesterol. These types of cholesterol When a blood test, the laboratory will measure total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol (good fats), and Triglycerides. From there they will calculate the amount of cholesterol (LDL) bad. Laboratory blood can measure the bad LDL cholesterol, but rarely so doctors should measure. LDL bad cholesterol because it clog the blood vessels leading to disease. Cholesterol HDL good cholesterol because it helps out the blood vessels and reduce blood vessel blockage. High cholesterol leads to symptoms? High cholesterol does not cause symptoms, but high cholesterol will lead to complications as the disease symptoms. Many patients think that high cholesterol will cause headache, fatigue, discomfort. But this is not true. If we have high cholesterol but not cerebrovascular accident, myocardial infarction, thrombosis in the legs, etc .. there will be no symptoms at all but once is then often too late. One exception is the amount of triglycerides in patients with 1,000 (thousand) are prone to swelling of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis). Why do we have to treat high cholesterol? As mentioned above, the amount of cholesterol in the blood will lead to cardiovascular diseases such as coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarction (Coronary Heart Disease), cerebral vascular accident, leg thrombosis. Therefore, reducing the amount of cholesterol in the blood to help patients avoid or less of this disease. Patients have to take cholesterol-lowering drugs for life or not? Because the liver is fabricated parts Cholesterol in our people, without the cholesterol medication every day will slowly rise. So we must reduce cholesterol medication forever. But patients have to exercise regularly and fasting in accordance with standards to lower cholesterol, there is hope quit. There are many patients quit using drugs after a few months because they measured and found to lower cholesterol. This is wrong because in just a short time their cholesterol will be higher again. How to avoid high blood cholesterol? Because cholesterol in foods of animal origin, we have to eat less of the foods as fat, meat, eggs. If you drink milk, use low fat or nonfat types. Because oil is a type of fat of plant origin and helps the body produce more cholesterol out, so we need to eat less of the oils. The coconut or peanut oil or vegetables do Thrombosis more oil or olive oil granola. We should eat less if overweight or obese lose weight because they also reduce cholesterol. We also do not forget to exercise because exercise helps reduce bad LDL cholesterol and HDL good cholesterol. There is nothing new discoveries in the treatment of cholesterol problems recently or not? Recently doctors have studied is that those who have obstructive coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular accident, or diabetes should have less cholesterol than other patients. Therefore, these patients should pay attention to the amount of cholesterol and your health more closely. So many new cholesterol is considered good? When the doctor comes to the patient's cholesterol, they are usually referring to the amount of total cholesterol (total cholesterol). The figure is considered "average" roughly 200. If less than 200 is considered "good". If in the range of 200 to 240 is considered "slightly higher" or borderline. And if above 240 is considered to be much higher. However, total cholesterol include LDL or bad cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Triglyceride part of the fat. Laboratory blood usually measured total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and from which they calculate the amount of LDL cholesterol. Therefore, the use of individual LDL cholesterol, HDL, and triglycerides amount would be more accurate. National Training Program (National Cholesterol Education Program) advised us to measure total cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol and Triglyceride amount of at least 5 years. Patients need to fast before the test light. Starting at age 20 the patient should try at least once every 5 years. If you have high cholesterol, you need to try more often.
