Nikhil Kapoor, MD, cardiologist at Dignity Health St. Mary Medical Center, spoke about the dangers that high cholesterol can pose in the body.
According to the expert, high cholesterol levels can cause strokes and the development of cardiovascular pathologies.
Kapoor pointed out: “Most often, a jump in cholesterol is caused by poor nutrition. Less often, it is heredity,” as reported by the portal ferra.ru .
The doctor also emphasized that a blood test can help determine cholesterol levels.
This is worth paying attention to.
The expert warned: “This disease does not manifest itself in any way.”
However, according to the doctor, a sudden jump in blood sugar levels and a sharp weight gain may indicate an increase in blood cholesterol.
Kapoor urged: "It is worth limiting yourself in alcohol consumption. It is also necessary to give up smoking."
