The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly." — https://RedCells.ru/cholesterol/ Millions of people worldwide suffer from atherosclerosis today. In this video, we'll discuss the most common causes and consequences of atherosclerosis, as well as how to keep it under control. Atherosclerosis is the formation of fatty cholesterol deposits in the lining of blood vessels. What leads to elevated levels of "bad" cholesterol? Typically, it's an unhealthy lifestyle and bad habits: 1. Smoking. 2. Alcohol abuse. 3. Lack of physical activity. 4. A diet high in fast food and animal fats. 5. Excess weight. The risk of atherosclerosis also increases with age: for example, in men over 45, and in women over 55, "bad" cholesterol levels typically increase. To prevent the development of atherosclerosis, it is important to lead a healthy and active lifestyle, eat a healthy diet, and avoid unhealthy habits. We also recommend getting the following tests once a year: 1. Total cholesterol. 2. Good cholesterol (HDL). 3. Bad cholesterol (LDL). 4. Triglycerides.
