"Hyperlipidemia" The "worst habit" that damages blood vessels

Having too much cholesterol and feeling scared... What is the worst eating habit that damages the entrance?

 

Hyperlipidemia -- Dyslipidemia, a shortcut to damaging the heart and blood vessels

Why are there so many people with both hypertension and diabetes…

Blood vessels deteriorate even faster

 

The reason high cholesterol is frightening is because it can cause heart and cerebrovascular diseases that threaten life and may leave disabilities.

According to the Korean Society of Geology and Atherosclerosis 자료,

72.1% of hypertensive patients have accompanying dyslipidemia.

87.1% of diabetes patients have this condition or more. When hypertension damages blood vessels and diabetes promotes inflammation, triglycerides and cholesterol more easily adhere to the blood vessels, increasing the risk of vascular disease.

 

Hyperlipidemia - Dyslipidemia♡ Cardiovascular disease

A shortcut to go

 

Hyperlipidemia refers to a condition where total cholesterol, bad LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides are elevated in the blood.

If even good HDL cholesterol decreases here, it is considered dyslipidemia.

Hyperlipidemia is a common term, but medically, dyslipidemia is a more accurate term. When dyslipidemia occurs, it can lead to or worsen cardiovascular diseases.

Ultimately, dyslipidemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Dyslipidemia involves changes in lipid concentrations, leading to atherosclerosis, which worsens into cardiovascular disease.

 

High-calorie, high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet, alcohol,

Smoking, stress, lack of exercise

 

The causes of dyslipidemia include high-calorie, high-fat, and high-carbohydrate intake, alcohol consumption, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, and aging. Managing LDL cholesterol is essential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

There are no symptoms even when LDL cholesterol, which causes vascular aging, accumulates. It is often discovered incidentally during blood tests in health checkups. Do not be complacent just because hyperlipidemia is common; prompt treatment is necessary.

 

Women experience significant changes in cholesterol levels during menopause... "Pay attention to your blood vessels too"

 

As body weight increases, the prevalence of dyslipidemia also increases, and losing weight lowers cholesterol and triglycerides. Reducing intake of saturated fats such as meat fat and exercising to burn calories are necessary. Exercise has the effect of lowering total cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol. Alcohol consumption raises triglyceride levels. Smoking increases total cholesterol, triglycerides, and LDL cholesterol, while decreasing HDL cholesterol. Quitting smoking raises HDL cholesterol and reduces the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases.

 

Women experience significant changes in cholesterol levels before and after menopause. The female hormone estrogen increases HDL cholesterol levels and lowers LDL cholesterol levels to protect blood vessels, but after menopause, this hormone decreases sharply. Middle-aged women should pay special attention to vascular health during menopause.
