Why is high or low cholesterol?

The level of cholesterol in the blood is not affected by what you eat, but only the ability of your body is also affected by the speed of the production of cholesterol and get rid of it quickly. In fact, your body produces its own supply of cholesterol and is therefore not necessary to take additional cholesterol through food.
There are several factors that help in the high or low level of cholesterol. Most important of these factors are:

    
Genetic factors
    
Genes determine the speed of your body in the production of harmful LDL cholesterol and quickly get rid of it. There is a type of high cholesterol hereditary familial hypercholesterolemia, which often leads to heart disease early. But even that were not infected with any type of high cholesterol is hereditary genes play a role in determining the level of harmful cholesterol.

    

    
Diet
    
There are two main types of food cause high cholesterol:

        
Saturated fat, saturated fat, a type of fat found mainly in foods of animal origin

        
Cholesterol you get only from animal products

    

    
No food in what is causing the high level of bad cholesterol like saturated fat. Eating large amounts of saturated fat and cholesterol is the main reason for the high level of bad cholesterol and increasing the proportion of coronary heart disease. Therefore decrease the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol, which is dealt with in a very important step to reduce the level of harmful cholesterol in the blood.

    

    
And zinc
    
Significant increase in weight (obesity) contribute to raising the level of harmful cholesterol, and weight loss may help reduce the level of harmful cholesterol. Weight loss also helps in reducing triglycerides and raising high-density lipoproteins HDL or good cholesterol.

    

    
Your motor
    
Motor activity may lower the level of bad cholesterol and raise good cholesterol HDL.

    

    
Your age and sex
    
The level of total cholesterol before menopause (maturity) for women is less than its level in men the same age group. And with age in men and women rise their cholesterol level to reach the age of 60 or 65. For women, access to the age of maturity (desperation) leads to the high level of LDL cholesterol and reduce the level of good cholesterol HDL, and after the age of fifty total cholesterol level is higher in women than in men of the same age.

    

    
Your intake of alcohol
    
Alcohol consumption leads to raise the level of good cholesterol, but it does not reduce the level of harmful cholesterol. It is not clear if this reduces the incidence of coronary heart disease. Given that alcohol consumption causes damage to the liver, heart muscle, and leads to high blood pressure, and raise the level of triglycerides, it should not take alcohol as a way to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

    

    
Stress
    
Several studies have shown that stress long-term lead to higher LDL cholesterol level. Perhaps the reason is that the psychological stress affect the dietary habits, for example, some people tend to eat fatty foods contain saturated fat and cholesterol.
In addition to the high level of cholesterol as a risk factor for coronary heart disease, there are other risk factors able to contribute to the incidence of coronary heart disease:

    
Family history in the incidence of premature coronary heart disease (father or brother infection before the age of 55, a mother or sister before age 65)

    
Cigarette smoking

    
High blood pressure

    
Low level of good cholesterol of 35 mg / dL

    
Diabetes

    
Obesity
Whenever you have a greater number of risk factors, the higher the proportion of the risk of coronary heart disease.
