Cholesterol

Cholesterol levels should be measured at least once every five years by everyone over the age of 20. The screening test that is usually performed is a blood test called a lipoprotein profile. Experts recommend that men aged 35 and older and women age 45 and older be routinely screened for lipid disorders. The lipoprotein profile includes:LDL (low density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called ""bad"" cholesterol)HDL (high density lipoprotein cholesterol, also called ""good"" cholesterol)

it has about 56 percent fat

Cholesterol is manufactured in the human liver. The production of cholesterol depends on the dietary intake. If the intake of cholesterol trough diet is increased then the body's own production will be decreased. This ensures that the necessary amount of cholesterol isavailable for the human cells and that the amount isn't elevated.

Yes that is high. Talk to a doctor.

Cholesterol has many uses for the human body including help in producing the outer coating of cells, makes up bile acids, helps with digestion of food in the intestine, and it helps make Vitamin D.

Cholesterol is described as the fatty, waxy lipid solution in the body that not only provides protective coating to the arteries and walls, but it also produces certain hormones and helps to keep the fat level intact in our bodies. Cholesterol is a good source of energy and aids in digestion. Cholesterol can be good, however too much of it can have harmful effects on our bodies. There are two types of cholesterol, the "good cholesterol" or HDL (high density lipoproteins) and the "bad cholesterol" or LDL ( lower density lipoproteins).

LDL cholesterol of 66 is wonderful. If your HDL is high or normal , then you cardiovascular risk is low.

Sometimes. CAD is what causes heart attacks, and over half of all heart attacks are fatal. It can also cause heart failure, which can also be fatal.

Fortunately there are treatments that can prevent, arrest or slow the progression of CAD, so many people with this condition will live a normal lifespan and die of something else.

That's not something you can directly calculate - otherwise people would never have heart attacks at all because we could predict who would be having one and when. The more "bad" cholesterol you have floating around, the greater chance you'll have a heart attack or stroke, but there is no direct formula for this.

It's called atheroma or, more commonly, plaque.

If atheroma is not taken under control by means of proper diet, exercise and, in some cases, medication, it may develop into atherosclerosis - the thickening of artery walls. This may eventually block the flow of blood through the affected portion of the artery. This, in turn, may result in a heart attack or stroke, depending on where the blockage occurs.

because they both lick cock

wow. That was a mature answer was it not?? Anywho, Greek and Roman architecture were similar in that they both used coumns. The only difference was that the Romans added the arch and dome. Also, the Greeks built facilities such as the ampitheater. The Romans were more upscale seeing as they built the Coloseum of Rome.

Both of those answers suck. The question wasn't 'how Greek and Roman architecture were similar' , it was 'WHY Greek and Roman architecture were similar.'

Cholesterol helps stabilize the membrane at warm temperatures, but also helps keep the membrane fluid at lower temperatures.

Cholesterol is a type of lipid that is essential for building cell membranes and producing hormones. Lipids, on the other hand, encompass a broader category of molecules that includes cholesterol, fats, and oils. Cholesterol is a specific type of lipid that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, while lipids refer to a diverse group of molecules that are insoluble in water.

The juice of the Bottle Gourd helps burn fats, due to the excessive intake of fried foods.

That is too high. I believe the optimal Cholesteral is 180 but you also have to watch your LDL and HDL levels too. I would highly recommend changing your diet and continue seeing your doctor to reduce these levels.

I helped my husband lower his Cholesteral levels. Some of the Cholesteral levels are inherited and some from how you eat. My family history has high Cholesteral, yet 3 of us kids have very low levels, so I believe what you eat can have an impact. My site started out as a way to help Stop Constipation but turned out to be great tips and recipes. I LOST 20 pounds following this plan.

Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, green tea, and some vegetable juices. Drinking fluids will aid your liver in detoxing your body.

Fruit juices raise blood sugar too quickly and may cause an insulin rush which will cause a rise in blood fats or triglycerides and possibly cholesterol. It is better to eat your fruit.

Good question about chantix but are you over 18 and attempting to quit smoking? I tried stopping smoking for almost 11 years with limited success. The only solution that truly works are smokeless cigarettes. You get all the flavor as a the real thing without all the deadly side effects like tar and benzene.

need to know what cholesterol levels should be

There are many sites you could use to learn about cholesterol levels. I like using the American Heart Association for reference. They explain the good and bad cholesterol levels the best. Your diet and your exercise contributes to your overall blood cholesterol levels.

Some features include:

--It is synthesized by the body

--Recommended 300mg daily intake

--Related to heart disease

Yes, it can be.

when we exercise more HDL cholesterol are being produced which reduces our body cholesterol
