Know Cholesterol and How to Reduce It Effectively

Hypercholesterolemia is a very common health problem today. Most of the time, we know our blood lipid levels from the time of the annual health check-up. This blood lipid value is often only known as “should not exceed 200”, which in fact, there are other details that should be known.

First of all, let’s get to know the blood lipids.

• Blood lipids are divided into the main types that affect health and are important and are LDL, HDL and triglycerides.
• LDL fats are the types of fats that have a negative impact on health. If the value is too high, especially cardiovascular disease. For the general population, it is recommended that it should not exceed 130 mg/dL. It is recommended that it should not exceed 100 mg/dL.
• HDL fats are fats that indicate good cardiovascular health because HDL has the effect of slowing down the occurrence of atherosclerosis. In particular, cardiovascular disease and HDL are used as indicators of how appropriate the health of the cardiovascular system is. The recommended value should not be less than 40 in men and should not be less than 50 in women.
• Triglyceride fats are usually not found to be higher than 150 because this type of fat is a form of fat travel from food in the body. For people who have had blood tests and found that they have levels above 150 or more, they are often people who have problems managing nutrients in the body, such as people with diabetes, liver disorders, and those who drink alcohol regularly. People who regularly consume large amounts of sugar, or those who eat large amounts of fatty foods.

Take out the results of the annual blood test. Then check out the test results. Do we have a problem with blood lipids? If there are no problems, it is a person with normal blood lipids. For those who have high blood lipids, especially LDL, let’s take this opportunity to turn around and love health. Let’s modify our diet and increase exercise.
