A factor of coronary heart disease
Cholesterol is a major health problem for women. More than fifty per cent of women over fifty-five age cholesterol levels should be reduced and more than one quarter of American women are in the coronary heart disease (CHD) due to cholesterol levels risk.
It is expected that one hundred and five million Americans cholesterol are two hundred milligrams per deciliter (mg / dl), which is the boundary line. Forty-two million people have two hundred forty levels mg / dl, which increases the risk. Although cholesterol accumulates over time and is a factor contributing to this devastating disease, other factors such as diabetes, low HDL cholesterol, elevated LDL, hypertension, menopause, no exercise, obesity and smoking. If a family member developed CHD before the age of fifty years, the risk is high that others will develop heart disease as well.
The risk of coronary disease is not a certain generation. Even children U.S. age of two years through adolescence have high cholesterol causing heart disease in recent years. This is the main cause of death among American men and women. Fifteen million people have some form of the disease, according to the American Heart Association.
To lower cholesterol level, strengthen the use of nutrition, weight control and physical activity. Drug May be recommended, but a change of diet, exercise and weight control should be first class.
The body needs function for cholesterol and cholesterol is present throughout the body in the cells or membranes. The body produces between 1,500 and 1,800 mg of cholesterol one days where the animal products you eat more, he adds. For every 100 mg, about 5 points are added at levels of cholesterol. This is an estimate because each is different. One hundred grams of cholesterol is about four ounces of meat or chicken.
* Most cholesterol is produced in the liver and a lesser extent in the small intestine. And the American diet adds approximately 800 mg per day.
Saturated fats (palm oil, oil palm kernel, cocoa butter and partially hydrogenated oils), dairy products, animal fats, eggs and meat add cholesterol in the blood. The walls of arteries have a buildup of fatty deposits narrowing canal blood supply to the heart. It is a factor contributes to heart disease.
The blood supplying the heart carries oxygen and nutrients to continue functioning properly. When there is a slowdown, but the result is coronary heart disease or heart attack. If a portion of heart is deprived of oxygen, it dies.
Lipoproteins packets are moving in cholesterol. Cholesterol does not dissolve well in blood and thus is difficult to travel in the blood. Bonds protein fat. Packs a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, known as "bad" is based in the arteries and blocks blood flow. Package Two high-density lipoprotein (HDL), known as the "good" cholesterol, which maintain fluid in cholesterol and helps transport to cells liver or to recycle or remove the body. The third package density of fat very low (VLDL) carries triglycerides (natural fabric) in the blood.
* LDL sets the stage for mineral deposits and grease to be inserted in the artery walls. While clinging to HDL cholesterol and transports it through the body.
On a health issue, the number of men and women is heart disease and often the main factor is cholesterol. Even American children are at risk for this disease because their cholesterol level is the same as adults. Although the body needs cholesterol should be monitored to avoid heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.
