summary

High cholesterol and triglyceride have become common symptoms of modern people. If we don't pay attention to these symptoms, they can cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases to a large extent. Today we talk about the causes and hazards of low HDL cholesterol.

What are the causes and hazards of low HDL

First: high density lipoprotein is good cholesterol. Its function is to transport cholesterol from the peripheral to the liver for metabolism. In this way, the cholesterol in the peripheral blood vessels can be reduced. Therefore, it is a good way to protect the heart and brain vessels.

Second: the low level of HDL is mostly caused by bad living habits. Therefore, we should start from adjusting living habits, achieve healthy and reasonable diet, adhere to exercise, quit smoking and limit alcohol, and use drugs under the guidance of doctors when necessary. Low fat, low sugar, low salt diet, eat more milk, fish, eggs (protein), vegetables, fruits, nuts, eat less animal viscera, egg yolk, animal fat and so on.

Third: the increase of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol will mainly lead to arteriosclerosis and the formation of arterial endothelial plaque. If the plaque is ruptured, it will lead to the infarction of the downstream organs of the vessel. The common ones are acute myocardial infarction and acute cerebral infarction.
