Readers are reminded that the desirable blood cholesterol value should not exceed 200 mg / dl.
.
In fact, by combining a healthy and balanced diet with regular physical activity, important results can be obtained in terms of lowering cholesterol. Particularly:
- Reduction of total cholesterolemia;
- Reduction of the so-called bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol);
- Increase in good cholesterol (HDL cholesterol).
All this consequently leads to a reduction in cardiovascular risk.
The healthy lifestyle mentioned above (balanced diet + exercise) represents in a sense the first-line treatment for lowering cholesterol. If this treatment is not effective or is not sufficient to bring blood cholesterol levels back to desirable values, the doctor treating the patient may deem it necessary to resort to the use of specific drugs to lower cholesterol.
Between the adoption of a correct lifestyle and the pharmacological treatment, however, there is the great world of food supplements. Some of these products have a mechanism of action and an efficacy similar to that of real drugs for the high cholesterol.
we want to refer to a particular diet whose purpose is, precisely, to normalize the cholesterol values when excessively high or in any case above the values considered normal.We specify, however, that the diet is able to influence blood cholesterol values only in a small percentage (10-20%), as our body has an effective hepatic synthesis mechanism thanks to which it is possible to meet the needs metabolic levels of the body without excessively depending on the quantities introduced in the diet. We remember, in fact, that if on the one hand it is true that high cholesterol levels are dangerous for health, on the other hand cholesterol is a precious molecule that performs important functions in the body.
