What Is Cholesterol?
In the structure of cell membranes cholesterol also vitamin D, certain hormones and acids precursor for a substance, is an essential component for growth and development.From the outside each day foods 0,3-0,9 g cholesterol is taken. Per day 1.5-2 G cholesterol made in the liver and the intestines in the body. For the human body, cholesterol is beneficial, but should be kept at a certain level. In a healthy person's blood lipid level measured after a fast of 8 hours %400-700 mg. Cholesterol is 140-200 mg of it. The level of cholesterol in the blood are much higher in men than in women and increases with age.

Mainly there are two main types of cholesterol. These include: bad cholesterol,
known as LDL cholesterol( low density cholesterol) and the good cholesterol
known as HDL (high density cholesterol) . Lipids LDL cholesterol in the blood
that carries the main. Directly and increase the risk of heart attack
increases. Of HDL cholesterol in the vascular walls of the arteries and thus a
heart attack and the Guardian moves out. In Turkish society, the level of the
protective HDL is lower when compared to other communities. Exercise, Green
vegetables, low HDL level can be increased with certain drugs.
High Cholesterol:
The cholesterol level in the blood with cardiovascular disease, the relationship between the height of the various and contradictory explanations. The truth is that cholesterol-rich foods raises blood cholesterol. If this diet continues for a long time, accumulate in the walls of the arteries causes increased LDL cholesterol and atherosclerosis. Increased lipid and atherosclerosis narrowing the blood vessels that accumulate around the vessels and decrease the flow of blood to various organs causes. To the heart and clog blood vessels atherosclerosis heart attack stroke to clog the arteries that feed the brain (stroke) is caused by.

The levels of cholesterol measurement and normal values
Over 20 years of age blood cholesterol level should be measured, and if it is close to the normal level, the measurement should be repeated every 5 years. Familial predisposition to atherosclerosis in people with diabetes and cholesterol measurement should be made at more frequent intervals seen more of.
Ideal cholesterol levels 140-190 mg/dl. When you are on 300 mg of total cholesterol increases 2-3 times the risk of having a heart attack.
Again, the LDL cholesterol level of 115 mg/dl HDL cholesterol level less than 40 mg/dl significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease if it's kept on.
