Initiatives Required To Check Cholesterol Levels
The fact that genes contribute to some extent the scaling up of LDL levels cannot be denied. However we humans still have the leverage as the prominent reasons are lifestyle, intake of high calorie and high saturated fats, excessive drinking of alcohol, smoking etc. The sexagenarians and septuagenarians have to exercise more caution compared to others as they are the major chunk of victims. If the LDL levels shoot up abruptly, it is not an ordinary threat and a fatal risk.
The remedy to this abnormality
The remedy to this abnormality lies in our hands. Cardiology is considered as the most important branch in medicine owing to the heart attacks which are rampant across the globe. There is a widespread misconception among several people that mere exercising and intake of diet without saturated fats will be the total solution to the problem. It is not so. You should consult your physician to monitor cholesterol levels and check Blood pressure. The physician will prescribe the right dosage of drugs to be taken if necessary. In case the LDL levels increase abruptly so that the deviation from normal level is so large the introduction of drugs becomes obligatory for the physician for instant reduction of cholesterol for the people in very high risk category. ‘Statin’ type drugs come under various names. ‘Crestor ‘ is one such renowned drug which can increase HDL levels to a greater extent than other drugs.
As in case of antibiotics used to treat other health abnormalities, self-medication may prove to be harmful in case of these drugs too. So never resort to that dangerous practise. The physician will prescribe the dosage based on several factors like : 1) Any previous problem associated with liver and kidney suffered by the patient 2) pregnancy affairs 3) Bad habits of the patient 4) History of heart attacks in the maternal and paternal side of the patient 5) Sugar levels of the patient if you’re at present with problems on thyroid functions, diabetes, hypothyroidism, hypertension attack victim and recently been heart or 6) Any other problems or malfunctions associated with the heart.
Therefore the need to visit the physician and take drugs cannot be written off even though some side effects like abdominal pain and nausea may be reported in some cases. Olive oil can be considered as an ‘ Angel among the devils ‘ as several oils used by road side vendors are sub standard. Some refined oils may be claimed by manufacturers as causing no damage to heart but no oil can be compared to olive oil. It is always better to be on the safer side.
