Cholesterol Management
High cholesterol is a serious health problem that affects about fifty million Americans. It's a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), which half of all men and a third of all women will get at some time in their lives. Cholesterol in itself isn't bad. While too much cholesterol can be harmful, just the right amount of it does a lot of important work in the body.
Cholesterol comes from two sources, your body and food. Your liver and other cells in your body make about 75 percent of blood cholesterol. The other 25 percent comes from the foods you eat. A cholesterol screening measures your level of HDL and LDL.
HDL is the "good" cholesterol which helps keep the LDL (bad) cholesterol from getting lodged into your artery walls. A healthy level of HDL may also protect against heart attack and stroke, while low levels of HDL (less than 40 mg/dL for men and less than 50 mg/dL for women) have been shown to increase the risk of heart disease.
LDL cholesterol is the "bad" cholesterol. When too much of it circulates in the blood, it can clog arteries, increasing your risk of heart attack and stroke. LDL cholesterol is produced naturally by the body, but many people inherit genes from their mother, father or even grandparents that cause them to make too much. Eating saturated fat, trans fats and dietary cholesterol also increases how much you have. If high blood cholesterol runs in your family, lifestyle modifications may not be enough to help lower your LDL blood cholesterol Everyone is different.

What Causes High LDL Cholesterol Levels?
Some of the factors that can lead to high cholesterol are:
- Overweight: Excess weight has been linked to high cholesterol levels.
- Heredity: If cholesterol problems or heart disease run in your family, you are at a higher risk for having problems.
- Diet: Remember the saying "you are what you eat"? Avoid foods that are high in cholesterol, saturated fat, and trans fat, all of which increase cholesterol levels and our risk of developing heart disease.
- Age: The risk of high cholesterol increases as you get older.
