Introduction

According to available statistics and evidence, cholesterol numbers are a meager fore-
casting of heart disease because a majority of people with high cholesterol levels have
superb normal hearts.

While placing all diligence on cholesterol, you are probably omitting the mark.
You need to find out as to what actually incites heart disease?

There could be numerous factors such as:

The irritation resulting from foods and drinks laden with sugar
Many stresses such as physical/emotional/environmental/lifestyle etc
The process of oxidation has been found to be the true miscreant in
atherosclerosis (an arterial ailment which is featured by accumulation of fatty
material on their inner walls) and heart disease.

Over the last few decades, you have been told that the best way to diminish the hazard
of heart disease or any cardiovascular problems is to manage the level of cholesterol in
the blood. Using your own judgment and common sense in lessening the hazard of
obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, you simply need to restrict the sugary foods in
your daily diet. Whether you are living with a heart ailment or recuperating from a heart
attack, attaching yourself to the appropriate diet is more or less thrice as efficacious in
rolling back carnage than using drug medicines.

Another significant aspect not to be overlooked by you is that doing exercise on a
regular daily basis is, more effective for individuals who are on the mend from a heart
attack or stroke than any medication.

Enlightenment about all aspects of your health is pretty imperative because this can
enable you to live extensively. Dividing knowledge has assisted humanity to subsist and

emerge into well-informed species, he is today. Though truism and fantasies concerning
cholesterol need to be learned thoroughly yet you need to be cautious about false
knowledge because it is more precarious than mental incapacity; however, merely
knowing is not enough unless you put it into practice. In agreement with the medical
experts, the initiating source of many of your present day maladies is fat. You are
overstuffed, intrigued with coronary artery disease, have elevated levels of cholesterol,
and high blood pressure on account of consumption of fats.

Each day numerous new myths are heard or read by you in the disguise of
overburdening of information. Once you become well-informed, you are then authorized
to battle firmly against heart disease. You need to have an ability to change your way
of thinking concerning some deep-rooted postulations about cholesterol.

What's disastrous about cholesterol is that there aren't any recognizable symptoms. You
have to take a test of your lipids in order to find out your cholesterol levels. It's been
endorsed that if you are more than twenty years of age, then you should get it tested
after every five years. You are more liable to it if you have a habit of consuming
unhealthy diet, lead a sluggish lifestyle, smoker of cigarettes and cigar, have a family
history of bad cholesterol etc. Whatever the case, do not shut your eyes to it.

What exactly is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in an extensive panorama of animal products such as
Cheese
Eggs
Steak
Shellfish
Poultrys

Cholesterol is so crucial to your body that each of you makes it on your own; however,
in order to manufacture it, you need not rely on your diet because Nature has conferred
an automatic system to your liver to create the appropriate quantity needed by it.
Seventy-five percent of cholesterol in your body is produced by the liver; only twenty-
five percent comes from your diet.

When you eat foods with cholesterol in it, your body curtails the amount it makes,
thereby keeping the equitable balance that you need for your body to operate strongly.
The cholesterol manufacturing system of the body proceeds in a manner similar to that
of a thermostat which functions to control the temperature robotically. However this
thermostat may not always function appropriately, so that any additional cholesterol
that we pick out through our nutrition may not always be a good thing. Some
individuals are patrimonially inclined to fabricate an augmented amount of bad
cholesterol and a reduced amount of good cholesterol. Individuals with such a
hereditary inclination have a tendency to build up levels of unhealthy cholesterol
quickly. While most of you conventionally identify cholesterol in a cynical way, yet
evading foodstuff with an elevated content of bad cholesterol may not always be
possible in todays society which is so fast paced.

When you consume too many calories, over and above the requirements of your body,
the extraneous calories are transformed into triglycerides which are stocked in your fat
cells where they can be used subsequently.

Just like bad cholesterol, the triglycerides can subsidize proliferation of plaque in your
arteries; the latter are frequently coupled with heart disease.

The plaque is a fusion of many junks such as
Cholesterol
Fibrin
Collagen
Unfamiliar proteins
Heavy metals
Muscle tissue
Trash
Calcium
Some important carbohydrates known as mucopolysaccharides

Many of you might not be aware of the fact that it is very difficult for you to sustain
without some cholesterol in your system on account of its implications.

Cholesterol is formed by our liver and is vital to:

Generate Vitamin D as well as other fat soluble vitamins
Assist in creating certain hormones such as estrogen(the female sex hormones)
and testosterone(the male sex hormones)
Form the outer coating of every cell in our body
Formulate bile salts( which assist in digestion of food including fat)

Though beyond doubt, this yielding substance is needed by every human being to work
effortlessly yet if you possess superabundance of some types of cholesterol in your
blood, this slippery substance can fortify in the walls of your coronary arteries leading
to their constriction and even hindrance to flow of blood through them.

Your good and bad friends

There are two types of friends in your blood.

Good friends (good cholesterol)
Bad friends (bad cholesterol)

Good cholesterol carries out a kind of restoring action on the bad cholesterol, putting it
in the reverse direction to the liver so as to do away with it. Just like a true best friend,
the good cholesterol can also help in eviction of your bad friend, which is found
adhering to the inner walls of your arteries. However if you dont use earnest efforts to
get rid of your enemy( bad friend) during the early phase (when it is merely a pliable
substance) it ultimately solidifies into a hard ugly substance that can no longer be
dislodged even by exalted levels of your good friend.

Perks of your good friends are as follows:

Optimization in your memory power
Hike in your stamina, efficiency and toughness levels
Intensification in your health and prosperity
Almonds comprise a package full of energy

Following is a list of your good friends:

Almonds
Avocadoes
Canola
Certain nuts
Corn
Fish oils such as that of salmon,
tuna etc
High fiber grains
Olive oil
Prawns
Sunflower yields
Wheat yields

If you want to increase the number of your good friends, do manage to indulge in some
regular aerobic exercise every day for half an hour, five times a week. I tell you, its an
impressive way to increase the number of your good friends --------------the good
cholesterol levels. Once earned, do manage to hold your best friends with both your
hands. Very soon you will realize that real friends are the dependable ones.

If you are a smoker of cigar/cigarettes/beerri, do quit it once and for all; very soon you
will realize a lift in the outline of your good friends. Your bad friend can fortify on the
walls of your arteries causing them to constrict and lead to the formation of a clump (if
the constriction is good enough). If the glob happens to be in a coronary artery, the
result is a heart attack. If the lump ensues in any of the arteries to the brain, the
consequence is a stroke.



Following is a list of your bad friends:

Beef
Veal
Processed meats
Junk food such as cookies, French fries or any other fried food
Triglycerides
Inherited high levels of cholesterol in the blood
Stress
Obesity

The long and short of cholesterol

We've been accustomed to by promoters as well as by the health enterprises about the
menace of increased levels of blood cholesterol for the last so many years.

Due to awful advertising by the media, cholesterol acquires a very lousy notoriety and
majority of us have these misunderstandings. It is very crucial for each one of you, to
learn the facts about cholesterol, how it affects health and how an individual can
manage his/her cholesterol level effectively. To start with, here are some of the
common myths about cholesterol.

For the last many years, the medical establishment and most end users have viewed
this substance as unhealthy and potentially lethal, but the fact, is decidedly more
intricate. Cholesterol is really cardinal for healthful bodily activity.
Regrettably, even medicos count on a wide range of fables about cholesterol, making it
remarkably extensive for you to do your own exploration to find out the facts.
Many myths about cholesterol are currently floating around. If you are suffering from
raised levels of cholesterol, you can make an extensive difference in your life if you are
acquainted with what to do.

Lets take these myths/fables one by one to find out the actual state of
affairs.

Myth: High levels of cholesterol in the blood may cause heart attack
and stroke
Truth: Though medicos across the globe gauge the cholesterol levels in an
attempt to debar cardiovascular ailments before they can strike; however,
facts and figures from the World Health Organizations reveal that your
blood cholesterol levels may not be associated with your hazard of heart
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

attack. In fact, many individuals who had experienced a heart attack were
found to have levels of cholesterol in the blood, which were
indistinguishable from those of individuals who had not experienced a
heart attack.

Myth: High levels of cholesterol in the blood are equal to a death
warrant
Truth: Though many individuals including medicos believe that high blood
cholesterol levels will surely lead to an early demise; however, numerous
studies have shown that individuals with taller levels of regular cholesterol
literally have an inclination to be alive for a lengthy time period. This holds
true for individuals who are sixty plus and particularly the female gender.

Myth: Cholesterol in the foodstuff directly gains entry into the
bloodstream
Truth: Despite the fact that according to some previous research
investigations, an exalted liability of heart disease (among people whose
diets embrace enormous quantities of meat and cheese) has led to the
stoppage of adoption of these foods, yet it has been found that high
cholesterol in the blood does not come from eating foods high in
cholesterol. On the contrary, the various leading wrongdoers that
augment serum cholesterol levels have been found to be as follows:

Saturated fats (present in fatty chops of meat, encased minced meat
in the form of sausages, butter, grease etc)
Trans fats (present in many packed preparations such as baked
merchandise, prepackaged processed foods, fried foods ,cookies
assorted biscuits, wheat noodles of Chinese style, margarines etc).
Foods uplifted in Trans fat also elevate blood cholesterol levels.
A metabolism which is not efficacious at holding the cholesterol
Mental tension
Anxiety

Worries

Myth :Fat free foods are free of calories
Truth: The label that claims to be fat free or low-fat is not a permit to eat
and drink too much. Various low fat substances are laden with sugar
which serves as a proxy for the lacking fat, meaning thereby that they are
as calorie-rich as the fat. The reason being that the sugar is transformed
into fat.


Myth: Prescribing cholesterol-lowering drugs is the quick fix answer to
hypercholesterolemia.
Truth: Cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins (the largest selling
drugs across the globe) are laboriously prescribed by medicos, to such an
extent that some doctors compulsorily prescribe them for every patient
plagued with hypercholesterolemia (high levels of cholesterol in the
blood). Disregarding the circumstances of the patient, statins are
prescribed life-long, with the intention of lowering their total cholesterol
levels and reducing their risk of heart attack and stroke; however, the
truth is that these medications are not entirely good for what ails you.
Approximate calculations of the worth of statins are fuzzy assumptions,
because it is difficult to proclaim how and when a heart attack has been
interfered with. Moreover many such medicines exhibit a spectrum of
disagreeable side effects such as :
Muscle pain
Damage to muscles
Harm to the liver



Digestive troubles
Rash
Redness
Lethargy
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

10


Muscle weakness
Muscle aches
Muscle damage
Inability to walk (experienced by
some patients)
Liver damage
Chances of developing adult onset
diabetese mellitus
Total blackout for events
Hair loss in women
Confusion
Many individuals are now opting for lifestyle modifications such as
walking, jogging, other aerobic exercises and unrefined organic antidotes
such as counting up oatmeal, whole grains, fish oil, red yeast rice, fruits
and vegetables into their daily diets with the intention of decreasing
cholesterol levels in their blood.

Myth: The use of statins in the treatment of lowering cholesterol can
drag out an individuals life.
Truth: The present day trend is to use statins / cholesterol blockers for
lowering the levels of cholesterol in the blood. The statins hamper the
manufacturing of cholesterol in the liver, by meddling with the enzyme
which is required for creating cholesterol. The statins cause the hindrance
of the manufacturing of or minimizing the rank of the coenzyme Q10
which is important in furnishing the vitality to the brain and muscles.
Statins are known to curtail the rank of bad cholesterol in every individual
who uses them, but, only middle aged males gain the benefits of statins
because their usage sinks the ratio of fatality from coronary heart disease.

Myth: Cholesterol blocks the arteries and causes heart disease. Given
that it comes from dietary saturated fats, hence the latter are harmful to the
heart
Truth: On account of mingling of varying reports and distractions, we
have put too much limelight on saturated fats and cholesterol. This has
led us to believe that a nutritional regime stunted in fat along with
medications to lower the blood levels of cholesterol serve as the supreme
treatment for heart disease; however, even some Cardiologists are
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

11


objecting these reports on the grounds that saturated fats derived from
unrefined foods such as dairy, meat, butter, and eggs are healthful and
not risky to the heart. Also numerous research investigations have
exhibited that there are no direct connections between saturated fats from
unrefined foods and cardiovascular problems.




Myth: High levels of bad cholesterol is a capital punishment
Truth: Though the bad cholesterol has been labeled as something
notorious for the health of the heart, yet the truth is that possession of a
high level of bad cholesterol is not atrocious for the heart. There is a
technical logic behind the aforementioned statement. Actually, what
matters most is, the information of the fact that how much of that bad
cholesterol is the detrimental kind and how much is the inoffensive one.
When this investigation is ordered by the doctor, the laboratory people
gauge the total bad cholesterol ignoring the size and type of it. Merely

because the total bad cholesterol is elevated does not signify that all of
you are going to suffer a heart attack or stroke. This is a gaffe, which is
often overlooked.


Myth: In case of hypercholesterolemia (high levels of cholesterol in the
blood) only heart attacks can occur
Truth: Besides a heart attack, an individual with high levels of cholesterol
can also endure a stroke. The reason being that a plaque can form, not
only in the coronary arteries but also in the arteries that furnish blood to
the brain. A stroke happens, when a blood clump is constituted in these
arteries and the blood supply and oxygen supply to the brain is impeded.


Myth: Drugs are the only ways of minimizing cholesterol
Truth: Once you start the intake of cholesterol lowering drugs, it may be a
long standing routine. Especially, during the tender age, you should stay
away from using cholesterol lowering drugs and attempt to reduce
cholesterol levels in your blood by consuming a healthful balanced diet
and maintaining a routine exercise agenda. Cholesterol lowering drugs
should only be a preference when the blood levels of cholesterol are
remarkably elevated.

Myth: Usage of olive oil holds off heart disease
Truth: Though olive oil being a vegetable oil is doubtlessly a healthy
option, yet even it has high proportions of Trans fatty acids hence it can
upsurge the levels of triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood.

Myth: Women are not distressed by cholesterol
Truth: Women do get distressed by cholesterol but to a low grade as
compared to men. The cholesterol levels of women are low from teenage
to middle age but begin to boost after menopause when there is a

completion of the fertile phase of a womans life. Menopause is the
termination of a womans reproductive potentiality

Myth: Food products which bear the label No cholesterol are a
healthy food to consume.
Truth: The above mentioned statement is not true. When a product
announces to be a No cholesterol product, it not in the least conveys
that it does not take in saturated fats and Trans fatty acids; both the
aforementioned i.e. saturated fats and Trans fatty acids, are accountable
for bad cholesterol.

Myth: The total cholesterol level of 200 mg per deciliter is believed to
be too much upraised.
Truth: There is a great fuss over what is elevated and what is not.
According to some experts, the absolute levels of cholesterol which are
contemplated to be normal could range in value between 200 mg/dl to
220mg/dl or even between 240 mg/dl to 260 mg/dl; however, the values
may vary from one person to another. The current trend is to lay more
stress on the quality and nature of bad cholesterol rather than on the
numbers. The reason being that some bad cholesterol fragments tend to
be enormous and flocculent and some flecks tend to be miniature and
packed. The miniature and packed particles have a better chance of being
ambushed to the arterial walls than the enormous and flocculent particles.
Research exploration has revealed that bearable and disciplined exercising
does revamp the virtue of bad cholesterol.

Myth: In order to decrease the levels of your cholesterol, you should
use margarine instead of butter
Truth: The above mentioned statement is actually deceitful because butter
as well as margarine possesses an elevated content of fats; so whatever
your selection is, you must be careful to use butter/margarine reasonably.
From a dietary viewpoint, the prime determinant which influences the
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

14


level of blood cholesterol is the saturated and Trans fat essence of foods.
If you want to reduce your bad cholesterol levels, it is more or less
imperative for you to utilize foods that have a reduced content of
saturated and Trans fats.
It is best to select that butter or margarine which has "zero gram Trans
fat" imprinted on its nutriment ticket.

Myth: Thin individuals need not bother about high cholesterol levels in
their blood.
Truth: Any category of the human body (whether plump or skinny) can
have elevated levels of cholesterol. Notwithstanding that weighty and
stout individuals are more liable to high blood cholesterol levels, but that
does not mean that skinny individuals cannot have it at all. Frequently,
individuals who don't gain weight easily are less concerned about how
much Trans fats and saturated fats they consume but even such persons
are not immune to the repulsive consequences of high levels of blood
cholesterol. No matter how thin you are, it is still crucial to have your
blood cholesterol levels scrutinized. The very important point which I want
to convey to all of you is, that blood cholesterol levels are not absolutely
associated with corpulent and the paunchy individuals; they can equally
upset the skinny ones too.

Myth: High levels of blood cholesterol are the problems of solely the
male gender
Truth: The above mentioned statement is not true. The reality is that,
prior to menopause, the female sex hormones known as estrogens
generally keep their bad cholesterol levels restrained, which in turn
belittles a females hazard of being intrigued with any cardiovascular
ailment. In other words estrogen hormones are cardio-vigilant for the
female gender. As soon as a woman makes an entry into her menopause,
her estrogen levels begin to decline; this factor intensifies the possibilities
of cardiovascular problems. On an average, a postmenopausal woman's
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

15


bad cholesterol levels tend to upsurge by around nine percent. With this
rise of blood cholesterol levels. a greater hazard of matters related to
heart arise (e.g. hardening of arteries, high blood pressure, angina, stroke
etc.)
Remember the rule of thumb: When an individual becomes senile, his/her
blood cholesterol levels tend to rise.

Myth: You need not have your cholesterol levels checked during your
youth.
Truth: It is firmly well-considered that everyone (irrespective of the
gender) should begin having his/her blood cholesterol levels checked at
twenty years of age. Nevertheless, it is not a bad idea to begin getting it
checked at an earlier age especially when you have a genetic history of
inclination to hypercholesterolemia or coronary artery ailments. In fact,
the sooner you get your cholesterol levels investigated, the better.

Myth: Omit all high fat foods from your diet, if you want to control your
blood cholesterol levels.
Truth: As a matter of fact, whether or not it is correct to include a low
cholesterol low fat diet veritably depends upon the category of fat.
Even though foods high in saturated fats or Trans fats is not desirable,
that high in poly and mono unsaturated fats is helpful in lowering the bad
cholesterol and raising the good cholesterol.
Examples of foods high in saturated fats are:
o Processed meat e.g. sausages,
o whipped cream
o coconut oil
o Palm oil
o Desiccated coconut
o Cream is a big source of saturated fats

Examples of foods high in polyunsaturated fats are:

16


o Seeds of safflower
o Seeds of sunflower
o Seeds of sesame
o Corn

Examples of foods high in monounsaturated fats are:
o Avocadoes
o Canola
o Olive oil
o Peanut oil
o Many nuts
o Seeds and their oils
o Olives and their oil are rich in monounsaturated fats

Both Poly and mono types of unsaturated fats may assist in minimizing
your blood cholesterol levels when used in your daily diet.
Bear in mind that you ought to be cautious in your intake of all categories
of fat.

Myth: Drink red wine to diminish your blood cholesterol levels
Truth: Though research studies display that drinking a glass of red wine
occasionally, may be beneficial in increasing the levels of good cholesterol
and decreasing the bad cholesterol levels(especially in females) due to the
existence of the antioxidant resveratrol in it, yet drinking too much alcohol
will augment triglyceride levels which are another catastrophic constituent
of the total cholesterol. If taken frequently, red wine intimidates the liver
and increases the pressure of blood in your body. The best
recommendation is to get resveratrol from red/purple/black grapes,
cranberries, blue berries, peanuts etc.

Purple grapes are a good source of antioxidants

Myth: Fat and cholesterol are the only items of your diet which you
need to be upset about, in order to curtail your cholesterol levels.
Truth: There are various other meaningful components in a diet that will
help curtail your cholesterol. To the greatest extent, you need to get
plenty of fiber from a potpourri of sources such as fruits, vegetables and
whole grain foods. When you devour the aforementioned foods, your
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

18


body will be provided with a lot of other health benefits in addition to
vitamins and minerals that are crucial for your comprehensive health.
Sooner or later, when contemplating about a low cholesterol low fat diet,
you need to be thoughtful of your thorough health and diet and not
generally aim your attention at cholesterol and fat content.

Myth: Intake of anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E
guarantees that you will not have any cholesterol problems.
Truth: Though it is very true that the intake of anti-oxidants assists in
lowering the hazard of hypercholesterolemia yet it does not safe-guard
avoidance as such.
A healthful symmetrical diet coupled with a regime of regular exercise
assists in cutting down the levels of blood cholesterol.

Myth: Generally only senile individuals have high cholesterol levels.
Truth: This is undeniably an illusion because anybody could have an
elevated cholesterol level in youth which might persist till old age. Also if
there is a family history of coronary artery disease or if someone is
accustomed to a lazy lifestyle, it is compulsory for that person to get
his/her cholesterol levels checked at routine meantime so that
complications could be avoided.

Myth: Cholesterol level that has an evaluation above 240mg/dl is not
dangerous and cannot be referred to as involving a high level of danger.
Truth: The normal cholesterol level must not glide to this level or else you
are putting yourself to several hazards such as heart attack, stroke,
gallstones and other oddities of heart.

Myth: Exercise has no considerable effect on your good and bad
cholesterol levels
Truth: You can really make a positive impact on your good cholesterol
levels by exercising daily for thirty to forty-five minutes, five days a week.
One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

As a result of exercise, not only will your cholesterol get under control but
the amount of good cholesterol will increase whereas the bad one would
decrease. When you engage in a regular high intensity aerobic workout
regime, you could genuinely upsurge your good cholesterol level by as
much as five percent in the initial sixty days.









Daily exercise has numerous benefits

One Of The Basic Building Block Of Life CHOLESTEROL

Myth: Cholesterol is not a considerable guide of your future health
Truth: Many people take for granted that their doctors instructions are
not to the point. But this is far from truth. Though it is undeniable that
high cholesterol is not crippling, yet it truly can induce other outcomes
such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart attacks and
strokes.

Myth: Low fat diets are wholesome
Truth: Given that low fat eating demands the consumption of an
abundance of carbohydrates to acquire the daily energy requirements.
This leads to high insulin creation which initiates the course that sooner or
later induces heart disease. The fatter, the more bile salts are called for
and more cholesterol is made by the liver. Therefore elevation of blood
cholesterol due to a diet that has an elevated fat content is all right.
Myth: Dietary fat gives rise to bodily fat
Truth: The aforementioned myth is erroneous and sensational. Lets look
at the facts.
You become fat only by the intake of deep fried foods, French fries, baked
foodstuff, fast food etc, because all these contain Trans fats. The latter
elevates your bad cholesterol and diminishes your good cholesterol hence
Trans fats do make you fat. Whenever you consume foods which are rich
in mono and polyunsaturated fats (such as those containing vitamin E,
fiber and iron) you will enjoy several benefits such as you wont become
fat; your level of good cholesterol will be raised; you will lose weight in a
healthy manner; your risk of heart disease will be minimized.
Dont eat chocolates ,they increase your blood cholesterol levels
Truth; According to research studies, some benefits of taking unprocessed
dark chocolate (comprising pure cocoa)are as follows:

Epilogue:

There is a good probability that through our eating habits we can get too much
cholesterol than the body truly needs. This is where the troubles start. Whenever there
is excessive cholesterol in the system it is likely to add to the walls of the arteries. This
is known as hardening of arteries (atherosclerosis.) which can make it difficult for blood
to circulate and lead to elevated blood pressure, other heart problems or blood
coagulates, if the fatty deposit inside an arterial wall becomes detached or blocks an
artery.
It is never too late to mend yourself so be smart, set your health priorities ,become
aware of your strengths and take responsibility for the quality of your own life by eating
well and indulging in regular exercise.

This cholesterol information should give you the infrastructure needed by you in order
to take the next step towards a happy, healthy and long life. The sooner you do it, the
better.
Try to be a source of inspiration for others by displaying that you have many reasons to
smile and your good health is one of them.


Bottom line:
The food for thought for you is that why was it that your progenitors who
drank whole, unpasteurized milk and ate butter, eggs and red meat did not
have a fragment of the prevalence of heart disease rampant today?
