Cholesterol
When we go the doctor’s and we find out we have too much cholesterol in our blood we are more doubtful than scared. Little are those who know how to correctly appreciate if the communicated value represents a health risk or not. The astonishment grows when, in spite of a diet scarce in cholesterol, his value is maintained at high levels.
Cholesterol is an important component of our metabolism. It simply floats in our blood and gets taken in by cells, then localizes itself especially in cellular membranes. A human being contains, if healthy, approximately 100 -160 grams of cholesterol. Being a vital substance, it is used by our body as a construction material for the production of acids, hormones and vitamin D.
The risk of a high level of cholesterol is not a light matter. Cholesterol can get into artery walls where it forms in time true deposits. This is how the so called fat plates appear, and they can suddenly tear and pad the arteries. This is the risk that makes excessive cholesterol levels so dangerous. The results can be fatal: heart strokes, cerebral strokes, acute disorders in feet blood circulation. The sudden closure of coronary arteries can lead to heart death.
Frequently, the walls of the blood vessels, modified because of cholesterol, also present limestone deposits, witch leads to arteriosclerosis. Smoking, hyper-arterial tension and diabetes aggravate this process and increase the risk of complications.
The cholesterol count of the food we eat influents in a minor way the value of blood fats. Daily, we eat about 0.5 grams, witch means a percent of 20 % in our blood. The liver tolerates without any problems a daily quantity of one to two grams of cholesterol. The cholesterol production is programmed by our genes. A high value of cholesterol is, in most cases, genetically inherited, but it can get substantially bigger if the person is overweight, does not practice any sports or has diabetes. It’s true that we can find the opposite situation, when well build sportsmen, that eat fats very rarely or not at all, present high cholesterol values.
Basically, a total of 2 cholesterol grams per blood litter is considered as normal. The risk of evolving towards arteriosclerosis is in this case reduces. Cholesterol values must be measured every year. The blood for analysis will be given on an empty stomach, with means it’s better to go in the morning, without drinking anything but water.
