Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in the U.S. - it kills more people than cancer, stroke or illness. The dangerous part about cholesterol is that it’s a silent disease, meaning you don’t know you have high cholesterol without getting tested. This is one reason why seemingly healthy people have heart attacks without warning. Cholesterol is waxy substance a bit like fat that builds up in your blood vessels the way the pipes to your kitchen sink get buildup. Cholesterol can clog your blood vessels (your pipes) and also break off in chunks that can block blood vessels and cause things like heart attacks and strokes. Buildup also can affect the circulation in your legs, causing pain with exercise. 4 such as dairy products, butter, mayon naise, oils, fried foods and fast food. Many people think only older people have high cholesterol, but high cholesterol is showing up in younger and younger people now. Overweight children with high-fat diets who have parents or grand parents with heart disease also are at risk for high cholesterol. There are several types of cholesterol but doctors focus on bad (LDL) and good (HDL) cholesterol when determining if medication is needed to treat your levels. High cholesterol tends to run in families and the risk of having high cholesterol gets higher for you as you get older, weigh more, are less active and eat high-fat foods In general, the higher the HDL and lower the LDL, the healthier your blood vessels and heart will be. Luckily, there are many ways to pre vent and treat high cholesterol. Treatment depends on which cholesterol levels are high and other health problems you might have. You may be able to help your choles terol with diet changes and exercise, but please talk to your medical provider first.
