Hypercholesterolemia (High Cholesterol) initially is a silent condition with no outward symptoms until plaque formation in the arteries begins to affect circulation. Tendency to High cholesterol levels can be acquired as a result of diet or disorders such as Hypothyroidism, Nephritic Syndrome, or Hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease), it can also be hereditary. To help you understand the cholesterol issue we suggest that you read the book The Cholesterol Myths by Dr. Uffe Ravnskov. In his book he describes all the recent studies on the connection between heart disease and cholesterol. His basic conclusion is that there is no connection between cholesterol, lipid levels, coronary artery disease and intake of traditional fats. What this means is that the various cholesterol levels measured in the blood do not tell us whether or not the person is prone to heart disease. Those with low total levels of cholesterol are just as likely to have a heart attack as those with high total cholesterol. When determining health risk it is more accurate to evaluate cholesterol levels by using various ratios (total cholesterol/HDL), diet and life style. You need four ratios measurements. The first important measurement is total cholesterol: less than 150 - No risk 150 - 200 - Low risk 200 - 250 - Medium risk greater than 250 - High risk However, having total cholesterol of less than 150 puts you in the highest risk category for cancer and early death and lots of people with cholesterol levels over 250 live long healthy lives. Second important measurement is Low Density Lipoprotein or LDL, ("bad" cholesterol); less than 100 - No risk 100 -130 - Low risk 130 -160 - Medium risk greater than 160 - High risk This type of lipid is thought to be made in your liver and to contribute to the development of coronary artery disease. If you are in highest risk category this probably means that your liver senses a need for a lot of this type of lipid in your system. This can be do to a liver imbalance or chronic oxidative stress. The third important measurement is High Density Lipoproteins or HDLs, ("good" cholesterol): greater than 75 - No risk 60 -75 - Low risk 40 - 60 - Medium risk less than 40 - High risk HDL picks up excess cholesterol in your blood and takes it back to your liver for disposal. The higher your HDL cholesterol, the less bad cholesterol you'll have in your blood. The final and by far the most important measurement in determining health risk is the ratio of total cholesterol and HDL. less than 3.5 - No risk 3.5 - 4.5 - Low risk 4.5 - 5.5 - Medium risk greater than 5.5 - High risk This ratio gives you a sense of how much the good HDL contributes to the total and it is considered the gold standard of evaluating lipid levels. The most important thing for you is positive protective HDL levels. It is known that the HDL level is inversely related to the triglyceride level. The triglyceride level is a key indicator because it is directly related to the amount of carbohydrates consumed. The more carbohydrates, of any kind, you consume, the higher the triglyceride levels and the lower the HDL will be. You can correct this by lowering carbohydrate intake (even grains and fruit) and getting more exercise or physical activity. In addition, the following are some of the other factors that will lower your HDL levels. High saturated fat intake Excessive caffeine intake Hydrogenated fats (trans fats) Genetic predisposition Poor liver function Low Thyroid function Diabetes out of control Obesity Lock of physical activities Insulin resistance Stress PCOS Keeping your cholesterol levels in balance is very important for your well being.
