Health check-up indicating hyperlipidemia...

I postponed my health checkup to avoid bad results, but during the exam, my total cholesterol was found to be high, and I was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia by the doctor and prescribed medication.

I thought that diet was the main cause of hyperlipidemia. Because I have a big appetite, I tend to overeat frequently, and above all, due to my work life, I often had company dinners, consuming greasy foods and alcohol together. That's probably how I developed hyperlipidemia. When I was young, I used to exercise fairly well and didn't have a protruding belly, but at some point, my belly started to show, and even if I exercised for a while, it didn't easily go away. I wasn't even thinking about hyperlipidemia...

The department of treatment is cardiology.

Hyperlipidemia refers to a condition characterized by high levels of fats in the blood, which increases the risk of developing atherosclerotic diseases.

Especially, hypercholesterolemia is considered one of the three major risk factors for arteriosclerosis, along with hypertension and smoking.

Because this is one of the most dangerous symptoms, I was very scared.

Atherosclerosis refers to a condition where fatty substances such as cholesterol or triglycerides mainly accumulate in the blood vessels, causing narrowing of the vessels and loss of elasticity.

The risk of occurrence increases especially as age advances.

I also didn't have it... but at some point, it appeared... and I was confused..

Following the doctor's advice, I am controlling my diet. I was diagnosed with hyperlipidemia.

One of the first things I heard was a recommendation for brown rice mixed grain rice, so I am doing that.

To reduce hyperlipidemia, I need to lose weight, exercise diligently, and manage my diet well, so I try to be faithful to these efforts. However, as time passes, I become too relaxed, which worries me. I must tighten up my laxity for the day I conquer hyperlipidemia.
