| regular sporting activity, essential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular |
| 2008-08-08 02:35:36 |
The food is not only involved in cholesterol. The hereditary factors and lifestyle are also at stake. So there are rules of common sense, to adopt emergency stop as tobacco, which encourages the formation of plaques in the coronary arteries.Use a regular sporting activity is also essential to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. In everyday life, there is no need to run the marathon! Suffice it to adopt good habits daily: Take the stairs instead of elevators, walking a good step at least half an hour a day, doing a little bike, go to the pool A… you!...

| A healthier diet to reduce high cholestrol |
| 2008-08-08 02:34:13 |
About three-quarters of cholesterol are produced by the body, and more particularly by the liver. The rest comes from food, including products of animal origin. It is therefore important to be careful what you eat, but not only.First rule: choose its fat. In fact, saturated fats are the main responsible of excess LDL. They are present in cheese, meat fat (entrecôtes, pork chops…) and meats. We must therefore focus on what is called fatty acids "essential", ie mono-and poly unsaturated, which is found in fats of vegetable origin (margarine, olive oil, sunflower, rapeseed, corn…) but also fatty fish and nuts. They can lower cholesterol levels, while maintaining the level of HDL.Have a varied diet is also a key to balance. In particular emphasis on fruits and vegetables, full of vitamin ...

| two types of cholesterol |
| 2008-08-08 02:30:26 |
There are two types of cholesterol, according to "agents" who carry in their blood:-- LDL (low density lipoprotein) are responsible for the bad cholesterol: they bring the liver to the blood. If there are too many, it settles on the arteries, clog gradually creating in the long run a risk of heart attack, aneurysm, stroke… You should know that cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in France.-- HDL (high density lipoprotein), they are responsible for removing these deposits, and bring them back to the liver. That is why it is called good cholesterol.The ideal is therefore logical to have a level of good cholesterol high, and a rate of bad cholesterol low. Be careful reading the results of analysis: a high total rate is not necessarily bad, just like a low rate is not nece...

| The change in the reimbursement of drugs against cholesterol |
| 2008-08-08 02:26:52 |
Cardiovascular diseases are one of the most important causes of death in our country. A high cholesterol in the blood has always been considered a major risk factor.Since the 90 years, we have medicines, called "hypolipemiants", effective in the fight against excess cholesterol in the blood.To promote judicious use of these drugs very expensive, repayment thereof was subject to specific rules, with the need for prior authorization of the medical board. Thus, the use of anti cholesterol drugs was allowed only after verifying that a more balanced diet did not allow the patient to lower his cholesterol.Until now, permission for access to hypolipemiants therefore was based solely on cholesterol. However, scientific work has highlighted the importance of many other factors. The age, family hist...

| About fatty acids |
| 2008-08-08 02:24:49 |
There are complex lipids (such as lecithins used in industry as an emulsifier) and lipids simple, consisting mainly of triglycerides, the vast proportion of fat reserves stored in the body. They themselves are built on the basis of molecules of fatty acids. They generally three types:• saturated fatty acids that are found in animal fats (except fish), in pastries and hydrogenated oils used in the manufacture of ordinary margarines.• fatty acids mono-unsaturated: They are found in animal and plant kingdoms, especially in olive oil and peanut.• The polyunsaturated fatty acids: omega-6, contained in most vegetable oils and omega-3 contained in fatty fish, canola oil, safflower…....

| acquire or take a better food hygiene to control cholesterol |
| 2008-08-08 02:23:08 |
In the case of cholesterol, it must first acquire or take a better food hygiene. And tame cholesterol does not mean make a cross on dietary diversity. The first rule is: "Eat good and healthy!"• Eat fat meat in moderation, fine meats, fatty cheese, cream, butter, margarine traditional, chocolate, biscuits.• Replace fatty meat with lean meat: poultry, rabbit, veal. Do not forget: saturated fatty acids contained in animal fats increase cholesterol.• Eat fish twice a week at minimum.• Consume with moderation, the cholesterol-rich foods such as liver, eggs, butter.• Opt for the bread, potatoes shirt.• Eat enough fruits and vegetables.• Do not add salt to your meals: our diet contains sufficient.• Prefer mono-unsaturated acids in olive oil and peanut that lower cholesterol overa...

| Too much cholesterol? Don't worry... |
| 2008-08-08 02:21:26 |
A simple blood taken can measure your cholesterol. Talk to your doctor. This will require that we measure the overall rate but also the relationship between LDL and HDL which we have seen the importance, since the "good" cholesterol acts on the "bad".It is important to make this check:• you have any risk factors mentioned above (sédentarisme, obesity, hypertension…)• you had a heart attack or other coronary artery disease,• close if members of your family have made heart disease before age 60. For cholesterol, the values considered normal vary according to the authors and countries. There is no real value threshold below which one could say with certainty that the risk of cardiovascular disease is zero. A recommendation would be best not to exceed 200 milligrams per 100 ml. In Bel...

| cholesterol is not harmful to health |
| 2008-08-08 02:19:34 |
The fat and cholesterol-whose fate is bound-are neither soluble in water or in the blood. To be able to "travel" in the body, they must be "conveyed" for transportation, they bind to certain proteins called lipoproteins. Depending on the type of protein which it is connected, there are two types of cholesterol:• LDL-cholesterol, linked to low density lipoprotein,• HDL-cholesterol, linked to high-density lipoprotein.But the transport of these two types of cholesterol leads to certain consequences. The LDL has the distinction of being deposited on the walls of blood vessels, causing calcification of the arteries (the so-called atherosclerosis), then narrowing and hardening. Consequences? The blood flows easily and bodies are poorly oxygenated. It is therefore essential that the level of ...

| Cholesterol is fatty substance essential for the proper body function |
| 2008-08-08 02:16:50 |
Cholesterol is neither a virus nor a bacterium. This is not a disease, quite the contrary. It is a fatty substance essential for the proper functioning of our body. Cholesterol plays an important role in building cell walls. It is also the raw material used for the production of certain hormones and bile acids (acids stored in the gallbladder) that allow the absorption of fat or fat.In fact, cholesterol metabolism, all chemical transformations related to its absorption by the body, is closely linked to that of lipids, or fats. In our body, cholesterol is synthesized in the liver at the start of dietary fats rich in saturated fatty acids. In essence, it is therefore our body which produces, in a balanced and sufficient, the cholesterol we need. Nevertheless, this balance can be disrupted an...

| high cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease |
| 2008-08-08 02:14:42 |
In Belgium, 40% of adults have cholesterol levels too high in the blood. However, high cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. When combined with other factors, the danger that occur infarction or angina pectoris is important. So it is better to act without delay: take charge of a cholesterol, is a decisive step in preventing cardiovascular disease....
