DON’T LET CHOLESTEROL CAUSE YOU TROUBLE IN THE PANDEMIC
Turkey Medicals member Doctor warned against high cholesterol, which sets the stage for consequences such as stroke, heart attack if not controlled.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in all cells in our body. Most of it is produced in our body cells, especially the liver. Some are also provided from food. It is used in the synthesis of very important hormones and vitamin D by entering the structure of the cell membrane; it is vital in this respect. But high cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The Turkish cardiologist doctor in Turkey hospital who noted that the risk of LDL, known as bad cholesterol, increases with factors such as inactivity, weight gain and disrupting doctor’s checks in the pandemic explained effective treatment ways.

LDL BLOCKS THE VESSELS
LDL, that is, the height of “bad cholesterol”, leads to Fats accumulating in artery cells and forming plaques, narrowing and blocking the vessel over time. Other metabolic problems, such as malnutrition, inactivity, obesity, diabetes, or impaired glucose tolerance, are factors that increase cholesterol. HDL, that is, the height of “good cholesterol”, reduces the formation of plaque in the vein.
.
INSIDIOUS ADVANCES DO NOT GIVE SIGNS
During this period and at all times, you should avoid foods that are high in calorie load and low in nutritional value.
Exercise is the only known effective way to raise HDL, that is, there is no food regimen or medication that increases good cholesterol.
As curfew restrictions severely restrict our daily movement, every opportunity for movement should be taken advantage of. For example, you can use’ walking ‘ as a means of transport.
High cholesterol does not cause physical symptoms, but we can see clinical results such as heart attack, stroke. In this regard, blood tests at certain intervals are the only way to determine cholesterol levels.
.
HERE IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE TREATMENT
The most effective method of treating cholesterol is to take precautions. Measures such as increasing diet and physical movement, avoiding obesity, are recommended for anyone with high cholesterol or even normal.
For drug use, a decision should be made taking into account other risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes, tobacco use, and the presence of cardiovascular disease in the family. There are risk calculation charts created for them; they guide the patient and doctor in making drug decisions.
Drug use is always necessary in people with a history of heart attack, stroke, and blockage of the leg vein. Even if cholesterol blood levels appear ‘normal’ in these people, especially statin group drugs have proven protective, reducing the risk of recurrent events.
