Someone who has the bad cholesterol or low density lipoprotein ( LDL ) need to know how to cure it and increase good cholesterol or high density lipoprotein ( HDL ) .
According to doctors Rizaldy T Pinzon , an expert in internal medicine , the phenomenon of people with high cholesterol . In fact , one in six people in the world affected by stroke every six seconds and no cases of stroke occurred . Mostly, 80 % , and thrombotic occlusion caused by cholesterol .
" Men and women all potential . However , menopausal women are much more susceptible have high LDL cholesterol , " he explained in layman seminar about Cholesterol and Risk of Stroke and Heart Disease .
There are many factors that affect high LDL . Smoking , diabetes , hypertension , central obesity and genetic factors can lead to high LDL .
"It should be fat , but should be evenly distributed . Do not distended . Tolerated LDL less than 100 mg / dl or at least tolerance of 130 mg / dl . If above it , be careful , " he warned .When a person has high LDL and low HDL , it is at risk of having a stroke or heart attack . Attack , he added , could directly attack the blockage of blood vessels in the brain causing a stroke , or blood vessels in the heart ( heart attack ) , kidney clog arteries ( renal failure ) or attack the blood vessels in the eye resulting in blindness .
" Ironically , 90% of those who had a stroke , heart attack , kidney failure or blindness , not knowing the symptoms caused by cholesterol ( LDL ) is high . So , the bad cholesterol to be one cause of death in the world , "said Pinzon .
There are a number of factors that cause people with high LDL . Where 85% of them ate fewer vegetables and fruit , 62 % are obese is not total , 1-5 % rare move , 30 % and 80 % due to stress when examined by doctors claiming they are fine . To avoid that , he continued , one must have a better HDL than LDL .

If LDL is clog arteries , the risk of stroke or heart attack , " he said .Director of Bethesda Hospital doctors described Poerwadi , triglycerides are another type of fat that also pass through the blood channels . Most of the body's fat tissue derived from fat in the diet . " High levels of triglycerides in the body is an additional risk factor for heart attack . The high HDL in the blood may help reduce the risk of heart disease , " he explained .Although more explained the dangers of cholesterol , but many participants are still curious . Fakhruddin for example , 64 -year -old man was asked cholesterol relationship with offspring . " Is there a connection ? I checked every six months , but the position of LDL always increase , " he said .
Different things asked by Elisabeth Pamuli . " I have a good triglycerides , 54 mg / dl , HDL 52 mg / dl but why my LDL to 164 mg / dl ? What's wrong with me ? "Ask Elisabeth asked incredulously .
