Kick Controlling Cholesterol

  • Be careful with cholesterol. So often we hear the warning. Presumably, people often mistakenly thought to cholesterol. Cholesterol is only regarded as an evil substance causes heart disease and stroke. Cholesterol is a type of material that looks almost identical to fat. If most of the food fat is triglycerides, the cholesterol is the rest. Triglycerides itself is a bond between the glycerol with three fatty acids.
  • In the body, dietary fat intake was taken to the liver (liver) to be converted into cholesterol. Similarly, the cholesterol from food. Because it is still in the form of fat, cholesterol does not dissolve in the liquid blood. For soluble and easily distributed throughout the body, cholesterol also create a bond with proteins and form a lipoprotein.
  • Lipoprotein is then circulated throughout the body. Because it is still full of cholesterol, the lipoprotein binding her little protein, so that its density is low (low density lipoprotein / LDL). Arriving at the cell body, cholesterol is used to build cell walls, so that reduced cholesterol content. This makes the protein is relatively dominant, so that its density lipoprotein also increased (high density lipoprotein / HDL).
  • On the way to leave the liver leading to all body tissues, the charge of excessive LDL cholesterol in very easily scattered along the blood vessels. As a result, there was a narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. Because of that, then known as LDL ‘bad cholesterol‘.

Recommends Limiting Cholesterol

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Sometimes, our bodies produce cholesterol exceeds the number we need. Usually this happens when we eat lots of fatty foods. When that happens, the cholesterol will accumulate in the walls of the arteries and causes blockage of blood vessels that can lead to strokes and heart attacks. Especially if you narrow the blockage of blood flow to the brain. From the research, the US-NCEP (National Cholesterol Education Project), men aged 20 to 30 years that excess blood cholesterol (hypercholesterolemia) risk of dying from 2 to 3.5 times greater of a heart attack than men age healthy cholesterol levels. In addition, they also have a life expectancy of 4-9 times shorter.

In addition to obesity, atherosclerosis is a major factor triggers high levels of LDL. Still according to the NCEP, LDL levels that exceed 160 mg / dl, increase the risk of narrowing of blood vessels 2.5-fold. To prevent the rise of bad cholesterol, the American Heart Association recommends limiting cholesterol intake from food is less than 300 mg per day. This is because, the body can synthesize cholesterol from saturated fat. For that, limit your fat intake no more than 30 percent of the adequacy of calories, maximum 1/3-nya is saturated fat.
