Written By bopuluh on Rabu, 06 Juli 2011 | 23.29

It never occurred to Sheila, she was only two years to enjoy her marriage to Paul. Her husband died suddenly. To her, Paul simply leave a short break. It turned out that his eyes were closed forever. He was only 27 years. Coronary heart disease, the doctor's conclusions about the cause of death.

Like a thief in the night, eating delicious food craze Paul fatty and fast food aka junk food quietly threatening his life. Of these foods has led to increased cholesterol levels in her body without her knowing it. Cholesterol that causes coronary heart disease.

In addition to fast food, eating habits of alcoholic beverages and smoking had a big hand in boosting cholesterol levels. If excessive levels of cholesterol in the blood, deadly diseases lurk, such as heart disease and stroke.

Cholesterol is a sterol metabolites that contain fat and settles in the blood, precisely in the cell membrane and blood flow in blood circulation. Experts in the medical world judge, someone who has high cholesterol levels are likely to have impaired blood circulation in tissues.

Total cholesterol consists of several substances, namely triglycerides, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Triglycerides are a form of blood fat that is absorbed by the intestine after hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical process that uses water as H2O or breaking a compound, including the inversion of sugar, fat, ester, and protein.

Normally, levels of triglycerides is 150 milligrams, 200 milligrams per deciliter. "If substance excessive triglycerides in the blood can cause infection in peptic ulcers," said Mulyadi Tedjapranata, Director Medizone Clinic.

After the hydrolysis process of bad cholesterol, triglycerides remaining fat into LDL, the so-called bad cholesterol. You see, LDL is the cause of the blockage in blood circulation network.

Mulyadi said, LDL was forming plaques in the coronary arteries that can impede blood circulation. "If high levels of LDL, the heart will pump blood harder," he said.

With impaired blood flow, some of the nutrients contained therein are certainly not optimally channeled and absorbed by the body's organs. As a result, some of the risk of dangerous diseases also appear. "Hence, people with high LDL levels are usually at risk of heart disease korener," said Mulyadi.

In addition to coronary heart disease, other diseases that often approached people had high LDL is a stroke and paralysis. "This is the case of a blood clot occurs in a person's brain," added Mulyadi.

Suhanto, Head of Medical Services Hospital Mediros in Pulogadung, East Jakarta, adding, people with high levels of bad cholesterol will be at risk of experiencing failure on organ function, such as kidney failure. If it were so, another disease that usually appears in people with cholesterol disorders is diabetes. The problem is, what the appropriate levels of cholesterol in our bodies?

Mulyadi rate, to levels of HDL, levels should be above 40 milligrams per deciliter. The maximum limit of HDL in the blood contained 100 milligrams per deciliter.

HDL levels should be kept high because it helps remove LDL from the blood vessels so the heart does not have to work extra to pump blood throughout the body.

"The higher the HDL, the healthier. Plaques are easily removed," said Mulyadi.

HDL is called good fats because in its operations, the substance is cleaned of excess cholesterol from blood vessel walls to transport it back to the liver. The main proteins that form of HDL is Apo-A (apolipoprotein-A). HDL has a saturated fat content is less than the LDL.

The main proteins that form of LDL is apo B (apolipoprotein-B). High saturated fat content makes LDL floating in the blood. As a result, LDL cholesterol can lead to sticking on the walls of blood vessels.

Therefore, according to Mulyadi, a person must be clever to keep the LDL levels in the body so it does not pass the threshold of the normal restrictions that apply to world health. Naturally, the human body will produce about 80 percent of the cholesterol and the remaining 20 percent is an additional cholesterol from the outer body.

Suhanto say, people who have a body fat usually have high cholesterol levels. However, you are berpostur thin body can be had high cholesterol levels. "It all depends on the diet and unhealthy lifestyle of the people with this disease," explained Suhanto.

Living a healthy lifestyle is the solution to reduce the risk of having high cholesterol levels. "If you do not want to be killed slowly by the bad cholesterol, you should begin to avoid fatty foods and implement a healthy lifestyle," advises Mulyadi.
