Cholesterol Management
Cholesterol, also known as hyperlipidemia or hyperlipoproteinemia, is a condition characterized by high levels of fat particles (lipids) in the blood, including cholesterol and triglycerides. Elevated lipid levels can lead to the deposition of these substances in blood vessel walls, restricting blood flow and increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Causes and Contributing Factors
- Age-Related Changes : Lipid levels can become abnormal due to the natural aging process.
- Genetic Disorders : Certain inherited conditions can affect lipid metabolism and lead to abnormal cholesterol levels.
- Medication Use : Some drugs can influence lipid levels in the blood.
Lifestyle Factors :
Diet : High intake of saturated fats and cholesterol-rich foods.
Physical Inactivity : Lack of regular exercise
Overweight and Obesity :
Excess body weight can contribute to elevated lipid levels.
Health Risks
- Atherosclerosis :High cholesterol levels can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
- Cardiovascular Disease : Increased risk of heart attack and stroke due to restricted blood flow caused by plaque buildup.
Prevention and Management
Dietary Changes
- Reduce Saturated Fats: Limit intake of foods high in saturated fats and cholesterol.
- Increase Fiber: Consume more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes to help lower cholesterol levels.
