Lower Cholesterol Information

For years, high cholesterol, has taken its toll on people. You rarely find anyone that has not been affected in some way by hypercholesterolemia. Cholesterol levels can manifest as high LDL cholesterol - known as "bad" cholesterol or low HDL cholesterol - also called "good" cholesterol. LDL can cause buildup of plaque on the walls of arteries, which can cause a restriction in the flow of blood. It is the good cholesterol that helps the body to get rid of bad cholesterol in the blood; the higher the level of HDL cholesterol, the better.  Other types of cholesterol include VLDL and Triglycerides.  VLDL (very low density lipoproteins) is similar to LDL cholesterol in that it contains mostly fat and not much protein. Triglycerides are another type of fat that is carried in the blood by very low density lipoproteins. Excess calories, alcohol, or sugar in the body are converted into triglycerides in the liver and stored in fat cells throughout the body.

Having high cholesterol exposes the individual to many health risks. It can lead to coronary heart disease and stroke.  When too much cholesterol is present in the blood, plaque (a thick, hard deposit) may form in the body's arteries narrowing the space for blood to flow to the heart.  Over time, this buildup causes atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) which is what leads to heart disease. Because of the restriction in the arteries, the oxygen level in the blood becomes low, and When blood reaches the heart, chest pain and angina can be the result due to the amount of plaque in the arteries. If the blood supply to a portion of the heart is completely cut off by total blockage of a coronary artery, the result is a heart attack.  This is usually due to a sudden closure from a blood clot forming on top of a previous narrowing.  The more LDL there is in the blood, the greater the risk of heart disease.  If your levels of HDL are too low, you are also increasing your risk of heart disease.

Several things can lead to high cholesterol.  One is having an unhealthy diet.  A low-cholesterol diet can help improve cholesterol levels. If the low-cholesterol diet does not work to lower bad cholesterol and increase good cholesterol, your doctor may prescribe medications.  Sometimes high cholesterol is hereditary in family history.  Your genes partly determine how much cholesterol your body makes naturally. Your LDL cholesterol is affected due to how fast LDL is made and removed from the blood.  One specific form of inherited high cholesterol that affects 1 in 500 people is familial hypercholesterolemia, which often leads to early heart disease.  Gender and age also determine if you are at risk for having high cholesterol levels.  As we get older, cholesterol levels rise.  Before menopause, women tend to have lower total cholesterol levels than men of the same age.  After menopause, however, a women's LDL levels tend to rise until about 60 to 65 years of age.  After the age of about 50, women often have higher total cholesterol levels than men of the same age.
Controlling cholesterol levels should not only be thought about when there is a problem.  By controlling the amount of cholesterol that we consume on a daily basis, we can put ourselves on the road to having lower cholesterol levels and ultimately, a healthier life.
