What does cholesterol do in body
Cholesterol plays an important role in better function of the body. Cholesterol helps in the manufacture of healthy cells and produces the required hormones. Even helps to deliver vitamins to the body and strengthen bones and immunity. When cholesterol is so important for the body, then why are people afraid of it. Actually, two types of cholesterol are found in our body, one of which is good cholesterol and one is bad cholesterol. Many types of problems begin to arise due to increasing bad cholesterol in the body and loss of good cholesterol. It is important to keep both levels right.
The risk of heart related diseases increases when bad cholesterol increases in the body. It is known as LDLC cholesterol or ‘bad cholesterol’. Poor cholesterol increases the risk of heart diseases manifold. Due to which 4.4 million deaths occur every year. 31% of people in India have high cholesterol.
Cholesterol is silent killer
High cholesterol is also considered dangerous because its symptoms do not appear in the body quickly. That is why it is called silent killer. High LDLC levels can cause a condition called atherosclerosis, where LDLC particles accumulate on the walls of blood vessels and make plaque. This causes blood vessels to become perfect and create interruption in blood reach. This condition gives rise to heart attack, stroke and other diseases.
At what age does cholesterol grow
Earlier it was said that the condition of high cholesterol was born only after the age of 50, but it is not so. According to doctors, after 18 years you should get regular lipid profile tested. This shows the level of cholesterol in the body. The level of cholesterol in the body can also be different.
How to control cholesterol
Dr. Ashwani Mehta, Senior Heart at Sir Gangaram Hospital in Delhi, says that many high cholesterol people feel perfect, which reduces the risk of it. About 80% of the patients who come to us stop living in the stated way. There is no pain in high cholesterol or any such problem in the body, it causes the body to harm the body. For normal cholesterol level you have to try continuously for a decrease in LDLC. For this, it is necessary to consume healthy habits and mentioned medicines. However, most people are unable to avoid eating and drinking for a long time.
Just as bad cholesterol increases in the body, the increased cholesterol is reduced in the same way. To get an ideal cholesterol level, you have to adopt healthy habits forever. This can reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
