Hi all just want to put some info on high
cholesterol, cause I'm a sufferer.
Cholesterol is a fatty deposit which
occurs naturally in all parts of the body
and is necessary for the body to function
normally. It is one of several types of
fats (lipids) that are essential to good
health. Because of its reputation as a
risk factor for heart disease, it is
mentioned only in negative terms. However,
cholesterol is an important component of
cell membranes and vital to the structure
and function of all your body's cells.
Excess cholesterol in the bloodstream can
be harmful and lead to a condition in
which fat and cholesterol are deposited in
the walls of the arteries. It is currently
recommended that your total cholesterol
level be less than 200mg/dl. Every 1%
reduction in your cholesterol lowers your
risk level 2%. If your Bad cholesterol
(Low density Lipoprotein) is higher than
130mg/dl, your cholesterol is probably too
high
Good cholesterol (High density
Lipoprotein) should be greater than 35
mg/dl and Triglycerides should be less
than 200 mg/dl
