One
of the major reasons of dying in the earth is coronary heart disease or in
simple word you may call ‘heart attack’. Besides, heart disease, hinder in
blood circulation is also responsible for heart attack. Excessive lipid or fat
materials are causing of stoke. Lipid and fat materials contain of total cholesterol,
triglyceride, HDL (high density lipoprotein), LDL (low density lipoprotein). Generally,
doctors suggest to their patient to diagnosis of quantity of lipid because, coronary
heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetics, stroke or chest/breast pain are
responsible for excessive lipid. I would like to discuss in this article about
what is cholesterol, its origin and function. The necessity of calories for
human body and what is the negative impact of cholesterol or how to keep cholesterol
normal in human blood. Cholesterol
is an important chemical substance for human body. There are two sources of cholesterol
in human body. Cholesterol enriches food like mutton, meat, pork, dense milk,
ghee, yolk, brain, liver, belly and prawn. We get most of the cholesterol from
above mention foods. Approximately 85% cholesterol produces from lever, adrenal
gland and skin. Besides, calories enrich food like glucose, fructose, sugar,
rice, wheat, flour, potato and protein enrich food like fish, meat, egg these
are also sources of cholesterol in human body.
Function of cholesterol
Some
substances are produced by cholesterol like vitamin D and it also produces sex hormone
like testosterone, progesterone, estrogen, strode and colic acid etc. There are
hundred cores of cell in human body. Cholesterol plays a vital role to form the
outer wall of cell. It is impossible to produce cell wall. LDL cholesterol also
plays an important role to produce cholesterol. Testosterone is an essential
sex hormone. The deficit of testosterone hormone causes loss of libido and
sexual desire.
Negative
impact of cholesterol in human body
In
research, it is proved that excessive cholesterol causes some illness like
coronary heart disease, brain stroke, marginal blood vessel disease, producing
cholesterol in blood circulation in many parts of the body. The increment of
cholesterol in blood may cause of lump in many places of blood vessel. This
type of lump is called atheroma and the process of gathering is called atherosclerosis.
In generally, it is called plaque. It causes block in blood vessel.
How to keep normal
cholesterol level in human body
Cholesterol
can be divided in four ways. Total cholesterol is one of them. It is normal if
you take it below 200 milligram. The second one is called HDL (high density lipoprotein).
It is friendly cholesterol for human body. Ideal dose of HDL is 40 milligram for
man and 50 milligram for women. Triglyceride or TG contain in hugely in food.
It does not create any problem in human body, but excessive increment of
triglyceride may cause of heart disease and risk of stroke. LDL (low density
lipoprotein) is considering the most harmful cholesterol for human body. It is
better if you take it under 150 milligram or under 100 milligram. The person who
has attacked by heart disease or stroke in previous, they should have kept it
below 100 milligram.
If we want to get rid
of overdose of cholesterol, we will have to adopt with some technique like
change of lifestyle, change of food habit, exercise and anti cholesterol
medicine. They should give up the habit of taking alcohol that is using alcohol
immensely. Your food menu should be balanced diet. Try to avoid fatty food like
button, meat, pork, fat, ghee, yolk and lever. It is the best if you not eat
the above mention foods. Try to take less quantity of calorie like rice, cake,
cold drinks, sugar, wheat, flower and potato. You are also suggested to take
fiber food like vegetable, fruit etc. Try to pour less amount of oil when you
cook food. Because one of the most reason of cholesterol is oil. But the oil originated
from olive, sunflower, soybean, rice or grain is the best oil for human body. Exercise is the best option to reduce
cholesterol in blood. It will help you to become healthy if you do walking,
cycling, swimming and joking. There are also available many anti cholesterol
medicine. It is familiar as statin drugs like simvastatin, fluvestatin,
atorvastatin, pitavestatin and rosuvastatin. Who have attacked by heart disease
or stroke or at risk like diabetics, high blood pressure, smoker and obesity to
keep their cholesterol under control, they should take the above mention
medicine.
