Cholesterol refers waxy and fatty like substance that is formed in the body. Our liver is primarily responsible for developing cholesterol in our body system. It is an important substance that supports various vital functions in our body such as maintaining healthy cellular walls, building hormones and vitamin D. Also, it helps in building bile acids in our body that gives support to the digestion of fat in particular.However, there is a saying that "too much of anything is good for noting" and it is also true in this case. Sometimes, our body produces cholesterol more than actually required. High level of cholesterol in our blood stream always puts us in high risk by increasing the possibility of heart diseases and strokes.Diet plays a significant role in the management of cholesterol in

Cholesterol ReportAfter blood work on Tuesday, I received a my cholesterol report in the mail yesterday.The total cholesterol is 197, which is considered within the "desirable" levels.There are also figures for HDL and LDL Cholesterol, which I am not sure what they represent, but with a bit of research online, I will have the answers.I was happy to see that the blood pressure was borderline high, but not enough for medication - a big relief!
There's only two ways our body can have cholesterol. The first one is through our own production of cholesterol, which is produced by the liver. The cholesterol level produced by the liver is not the same in every people. The second one is from the foods that we eat. Just like the cholesterol that’s produced by the liver, the cholesterol level that we get from the food that we eat is different for each person. Certain level of cholesterol is needed by our bodies to live, however our cholesterol production from the liver can meet that demand without any problem. This makes all the cholesterol that we get from the food will be the excessive cholesterol that can endanger our health. Therefore to keep a lower cholesterol level and live a healthy life it is important to know what to eat

The traditional Mediterranean diet, rich in tomatoes, tomato products, and other carotenoids has been associated with a lower incidence of chronic heart disease. Recent scientific studies have shown that people who eat tomatoes and tomato products regularly are less likely to suffer from heart attacks than those who don’t make tomatoes part of their diet.Why?Because tomatoes contain lycopene. Lycopene has been identified as the responsible substance for the antioxidant effects of tomatoes in many studies including a recent research that suggests that consumption of tomato products prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, the "bad" guy. Oxidized cholesterol is considered the primary initial step leading to the formation of plaque in the arteries and consequently to heart attacks.What is
FDA regulators have rejected two potential blockbuster cholesterol drugs, leaving three drugmakers reeling and many wondering if this signals tougher approval standards.
Merck surprised investors when it announced that the FDA did not approve its cholesterol pill Cordaptive. The company was counting the new drug to help replace flagging sales of its older cholesterol drugs, Vytorin and Zocor. The agency dealt a similar blow to Genzyme Corp. and Isis Pharmaceuticals, asking the companies to conduct additional studies of their cholesterol drug, mipomersen, a move that will delay its launch for several years.
The FDA is increasingly rejecting drugs that don't offer a clear advantage over older medications. They demanded more data from drugmaker Wyeth four times before approving the antidepres
Studies have proven that there is definitely a relationship between cholesterol and fiber in the diet.

Q: I am still young do I have to be worried about my cholesterol level? A: Although it is not common for the younger people to have a high cholesterol level, for the most people, it's their lifestyle when they were young (such as eating lots of junk food, smoking etc) that help contribute to have cholesterol problems when they are older. It's better to adapt a healthy lifestyle and make it a habit when we were young therefore it will be easier to lower the cholesterol level when we were old. There's a condition for young person to have a high cholesterol level which is called Familial Hypercholesterolemia, which is a condition where the liver produce cholesterol more than normal.

HDL cholesterol is the high density lipoprotein cholesterol.
Lipoproteins are the combination of lipids (fats) and proteins.
High lipoproteins carry about 30% of the cholesterol from tissues of the body to liver.
HDL will remove cholesterol from the atheroma in the arteries.
Then this cholesterol is transported to the liver for reutilization or for [...]

Q: I've reach my recommended cholesterol level, can I stop my medications? A: The reason your doctor give you the cholesterol medication is to keep your cholesterol level under control, and while doing so you can change your lifestyle (like more physical exercise, change your diets etc) to lower your cholesterol level. For a better result the medication is needed to be taken on a daily basis. It is better to consult your doctor first to know if that ok to stop the cholesterol medication or just to lower the dose.
Q: If I exercise a lot and in good form do I have to be worried about my cholesterol level? A: Even tough it is true that the physical exercise is the best way to increase the levels of HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) in the blood and in the same time maintaining a healthy body weight and improving the total fitness of your heart, however exercising does not guarantee that the levels of you blood cholesterol will be acceptable. There are many other factors that will affect your levels of the blood cholesterol, such as your lifestyle, you diet, smoking, your genetic, your age and gender. The only way to ease your mind about cholesterol would be to see your doctor and have a blood test.
The function of human’s heart is to pump the blood through the body’s circulatory system. The walls of the heart have their own blood vessels. There are two types of blood vessels: Arteries are the blood vessels that deliver the oxygen and nutrients (include cholesterol). Veins are the blood vessels that carry waste and carbon dioxide away. A healthy artery is the one which carries the blood containing oxygen and nutrients smoothly like a freeway. When one has too much cholesterol in their blood steam, the excess cholesterol will start to form a fatty deposit within the arteries wall. This fatty deposit is called Plague. If one does not lower their cholesterol level then this plague will still built up within the arteries wall. If this plaque still continue to build up then
Fiber is the part of plant foods that our bodies do not digest. It includes two types of fiber—insoluble and soluble fiber. Soluble fiber dissolves in water, insoluble does not. Eating foods with soluble fiber can help to lower the LDL cholesterol in your blood that can produce clogged arteries. Some of the best sources of soluble fiber include whole oats, barley, dried beans, fruits and many vegetables.
How Much Fiber Should You Have Each Day?
25-30 grams of total fiber
At least 10 grams of soluble fiber
Tips for Getting Enough Fiber
Eat high fiber foods at each meal:
At breakfast, choose whole fruit rather than juice and select a high fiber cereal.
For lunch, select whole grain breads for a sandwich or have a big salad.
For dinner, include a salad and a cup of high-fiber vegetabl

You probably know by now that top cholesterol drugs Vytorin and Zetia have been proven to have no benefits, doctors and patients have to rely on older lowering cholesterol drugs such as statins. Regardless of which drugs you take to lower cholesterol, there may be some potential side effects that need your attention. There are definitely other more effective and safer ways available for you to lower cholesterol levels without the use of such drugs.When your medical practitioner tells you that you have high cholesterol levels, it means that your ratio of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) to High Density Liporprotein (HDL) is high. High cholesterol level is linked to higher risk of heart disease and stroke. However, before you consider taking any cholesterol lowering drugs you should also take i

To understand how lifestyle affects our heart health, let’s take a look at how cholesterol works in the body.
The liver produces and the diet provides cholesterol, which is carried by LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) throughout the body, serving vital functions. The HDL then shuttles the cholesterol back to the liver for recycling so that too much doesn’t build up in the bloodstream. Problems arise when there is too much LDL, and not enough HDL to carry it back, creating an imbalance that may lead to heart disease.
HDL is a protein made by the body. Like LDL, HDL is not a component of food. It is made by the body, and is primarily genetically determined. However, we all have the ability to influence the formation of either LDL or HDL with our lifestyle. Cholesterol is a component of

Cholesterol is transported to and from the cells by carriers called lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is known as “bad” cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol. These two types of lipids, along with triglycerides and Lp(a) cholesterol, make up your total cholesterol count, which can be determined through a blood test.
LDL (Bad) Cholesterol
When too much LDL (bad) cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Together with other substances, it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can narrow the arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, heart attack or stroke c

HDL Cholesterol Level HDL Cholesterol is the good cholesterol, so the higher the HDL cholesterol level the better. If your HDL Cholesterol level is below 40mg/dl (for men) or below 50mg/dl (for women), then you are in the risk of having a heart attack. In average the HDL cholesterol level should be around 40-50mg/dl (for men) or 50-60 mg/dl (for women). If your HDL cholesterol level is above 60mg/dl, you have some protection against heart attack.

My Health - Cholesterol is fatty substance (lipid) which is part of outer cell membrane in animal tissues. It is also found in human blood circulation. Two main sources cholesterol in the blood is from foods and liver production.Food cholesterol comes from meat, chicken, fish and dairy product.

The cholesterol encased in protein is called chylomicron.Computer model of cholesterol molecule.Liver can remove cholesterol from blood circulation and also make cholesterol and secrete cholesterol into the circulation. After you eat, liver removes chylomicron from blood circulation. In between lunch time, liver produce and secretes cholesterol back into blood circulation.Bad Cholesterol, Good Choleste

CHOLESTEROL LEVEL What is a good cholesterol Level ? How do you know if your cholesterol level is a normal cholesterol level, a healthy cholesterol level or even a high cholesterol level. Your cholesterol level is shown in millimoles per liter of blood (mmol/L) in the world standard or in milligrams per deciliter of blood (mg/dL) in the US standard. The only way to know your cholesterol level is by having a blood test. NORMAL CHOLESTEROL LEVEL You are considered to have a healthy cholesterol level if you have a total blood cholesterol level below 200mg/dl or 5 mmol/L, in condition that your LDL cholesterol level, HDL cholesterol level and triglyceride level also at healthy level, and you don't have other risks (eg. smoking or have a family history of heart disease or diabet
CHOLESTEROL Cholesterol is a fatty substance that can be found in your bloodstream and in all your body cells. Around 75 percent of blood cholesterol is produce by your liver and other cells in your body. The rest 25 percent blood cholesterol is produced by the food that you eats. LDL CHOLESTEROL Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDLs) or LDL Cholesterol is called Low-Density because it has low amount protein and a lot of fat in its molecule. LDs molecule take cholesterol to where it is needed in the body. Excess LDs that are not used by the body can build up fatty deposits in blood vessels, leading to heart disease. This is why LDLs are known as 'Bad Cholesterol'. HDL CHOLESTEROL High-Density Lipoproteins (HDLs) or HDL Cholesterol is called High-Density because it has a high amount prot

Cholesterol is a vital nutrient for healthy body function. Cholesterol is used by the body in the manufacture of hormones testosterone, estrogen, progesterone to name a few. This list is by no means complete. It is also used in the myelin sheath formation (covering for nerves). The liver makes approximately 90 percent of the body's daily cholesterol requirement. The remaining 10 percent is obtained from dietary sources.
Since the body requires approximately 10% of its daily cholesterol requirements from dietary sources, a treatment strategy for high cholesterol has been to control the intake of cholesterol. Cholesterol is found in all animal products but some animal products (e.g. egg yolks and red meats), are higher in cholesterol than others (e.g. fish, and chicken breast) therefor

Is your cholesterol under 200? Or is that even the right question to ask anymore? We've learned a lot about cholesterol in the past few decades, and it can be hard to understand and follow all the different advice out there. Here's how I simplify things.We have known for a long time that high cholesterol causes plaque inside arteries (called atherosclerosis). As the plaque builds up, the arteries get narrower and less blood can get through.

There's no such thing as a "normal" cholesterol level, but we do have targets to aim for.HDL ("good cholesterol"): The higher your HDL is, the more protection you get against atherosclerosis.
