Cholestorol is a term linked to
health
trouble. It is related to an
augmentation of this substance in the body.
Everyone
has that lipid.
Problems begin when it is elevated.
What are
the target cholestorol numbers?
For total
cholestorol:
-
Good — Less than 180-200
mg/dL
-
Borderline with risk —
200–239 mg/dL
-
Bad & at risk — 240
mg/dL and over
For LDL
(Low density lipoproteins):
-
Less than 100
mg/dL—Good
-
100 to 129 mg/dL—Start
watching
-
130 to 159 mg/dL—At
risk
-
160 to
189 mg/dL—High
-
190 mg/dL and above—Very
High
Where
comes the cholestorol in the
organism?
Many
people believe that their diet is responsible of their
problem due to this lipid. Diet produces only 10 to 15% of
the total lipid. The vast majority is produced by our liver
for our body needs. 
What does
your body do with it:
-
is used as a main
structural component of cell membranes. Every single cell
in your organism contains that matter.
-
It is stored in the
adrenals, testes, and ovaries.
-
It is converted to
hormones such as the sex hormones (androgens and
estrogens).
-
It is converted to adrenal
corticoids (including cortisol, corticosterone,
aldosterone).
-
it is the precursor of the
bile acids which helps in the digestion of food, especially
fats.
What is
the main health trouble related to its elevated
levels?
The main
problem with it is its implication as a major factor in the
development of arterio-sclerosis.There is a process of fatty
deposit in the arteries (plaques).
These
plaques cause a loss of elasticity and a narrowing of blood
vessels which may lead to:
-
Arterial
Hypertension
-
Heart
attack
-
How to
lower your levels?
-
Doctors tend to prescribe
statin drugs for this lipid troubles. Discuss with your
physician about natural treatments of high
cholestorol. These formulas use cholestorol lowering
herbs to help you have the healthy numbers you need.
These are:
-
Cholest-Natural, a proven, effective,
and very recommended formula. I know people who buy from
them each month. You know why? They get
results.
