Happens Often After Devouring Sacrificial Meat, These Are Characteristics Of High Cholesterol<\/a><\/h3>
Eid al-Adha is a holiday in the Islamic religion. This day commemorates the event of sacrifice, namely when the Prophet Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son Ismail as a form of obedience to Allah. Before Abraham sacrificed his son, Allah replaced Ishmael with a sheep. To commemorate this event, livestock is slaughtered as a sacrifice every year. , increased body cholesterol levels often worry the activists of sacrificial meat. High cholesterol should not be underestimated, because it can be fatal if not controlled. Therefore, it is important for people to understand the characteristics of high cholesterol. \n\n \nCholesterol is a waxy substance found in our daily diet. The body processes these substances to strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, form hormones and form natural vitamin D. Although it sounds positive, excessive levels of bad cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in the body can trigger life-threatening diseases such as stroke, hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. \n\n High cholesterol has characteristics which are similar to other medical conditions, so it is often not realized. In fact, signs of high cholesterol are important to watch out for. The reason is, uncontrolled cholesterol levels can cause serious illnesses, such as heart attacks and strokes. \n\n High Cholesterol Signs \n\n \n Easy Drowsiness \n High cholesterol in the blood makes the blood not optimally carry oxygen throughout the body. As a result, the brain responds by yawning. \n Often tingling \n Tingling in the feet, hands or certain parts of the body is a symptom of poor blood flow. As a result, there are nerves that don't get optimal blood supply. \n Hands & Feet Often Sore \n Pain in the legs can be a symptom of high cholesterol due to blockage of flow in the arteries, so that blood flow to the legs becomes obstructed. \n Back Head, Shoulders & Neck Feeling Sore \n Even though it can be caused by many things, such as muscle and nerve pain, in fact pain in the nape of the neck is quite often experienced by people with high cholesterol. \n Dizzy often \n When plaque builds up, the supply of blood and oxygen to or from the heart is reduced. This condition also triggers a decrease in blood supply in the brain area, so that it can cause symptoms of headaches, migraines, or dizziness. \n Pain around the left chest \n When cholesterol levels are too high, plaque buildup can also occur in the heart's blood vessels. This can block blood flow to the heart and cause pain in the chest. If blood flow is completely blocked, this can even cause a heart attack. \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Bad Effects of Cholesterol on Body Health<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n Cholesterol is a fat found in the bloodstream or in body cells, which is actually needed for the formation of cell walls and as a raw material for several hormones. Total cholesterol examination consists of LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein), HDL (High Density Lipoprotein), and Triglycerides. \n\n LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein) is often referred to as bad cholesterol because it can stick to blood vessels. HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) or often called good cholesterol is a fat that can dissolve LDL content in the body. \n\n High levels of cholesterol in the blood can cause several diseases, among others: \n\n 1. Heart attack \n\n Too high levels of cholesterol in the blood can cause the blood vessels to harden or narrow thus disrupting blood flow. If the blood flow to the heart is interrupted, it can causeheart disease. \n\n 2. Stroke \n\n If the narrowing occurs in the blood vessels of the brain, brain function will be disrupted. Disturbed brain function will have a negative impact on the ability to think, memory, and mental condition. Even worse, this condition can also lead tostroke. \n\n 3. Peripheral artery disease \n\n Peripheral artery disease is a disease caused by cholesterol blockage in the arteries of the legs or arms, causing several complaints, such as pain, cramps, to numbness. \n\n High cholesterol has no symptoms, therefore it is necessary to do a blood test to determine cholesterol levels in the blood.According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), blood cholesterol screening can be done between the ages of 9 and 11 years, and repeated every 5 years after the first screening. For men aged 45 to 65 years and women aged 55 to 65 years, the examination is carried out every 1-2 years. For those over 65 years of age, the examination is carried out every year. In patients with high cholesterol levels, or have comorbidities (other diseases such as urinary, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc.), cholesterol checks can be carried out more often according to doctor's recommendations \n\n Several risk factors can cause high cholesterol levels (> 200 mg/dl), including: \n\n 1. Diet \n\n Consuming high-fat foods causes an increase in total cholesterol levels in the blood. Therefore, it is important to balance it with foods high in fiber which can help reduce the absorption of fat and cholesterol in the blood \n\n 2. Lifestyle \n\n A bad lifestyle such as rarely moving or rarely exercising can increase the risk of high cholesterol \n\n 3. Smoking habits \n\n Cigarettes can reduce levels of good cholesterol / HDL and cause fat accumulation in the walls of the arteries of the heart. The increase in total cholesterol levels can be influenced by the duration and number of cigarettes consumed each day, the chemicals contained in cigarettes can increase LDL levels and reduce HDL levels. \n\n Lifestyle changes are important to prevent high cholesterol. Things that can be done such as: \n\n \n \n Eat high-fiber foods \n \n \n Limit consumption of animal fat \n \n \n Maintain an ideal weight \n \n \n Stop smoking \n \n \n Exercising \n \n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
