Understand your Disease Well
Causes of High Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance essential for hormone production, cell function, and digestion. However, excess LDL (bad cholesterol) can build up in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.
Common Causes:
| Cause | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Poor Diet | High in saturated fats (red meat, butter), trans fats (fried/processed foods), and sugar |
| Sedentary Lifestyle | Lack of activity slows metabolism and fat burning |
| Obesity | More body fat often leads to higher LDL and triglycerides |
| Smoking | Lowers HDL (good cholesterol) and damages blood vessels |
| Excess Alcohol | Increases triglyceride levels and fat in the liver |
| Genetics (Familial Hypercholesterolemia) | Can cause very high LDL even with a healthy lifestyle |
| Medical Conditions | Diabetes, hypothyroidism, kidney/liver disease can affect cholesterol levels |
Symptoms of High Cholesterol
High cholesterol usually has no direct symptoms—it’s often discovered through a blood test (lipid profile).
However, warning signs of complications include:
-
Chest pain or angina
-
Shortness of breath
-
Fatigue on exertion
-
Xanthomas: Yellowish deposits on skin or around eyes
-
Coronary artery disease, stroke, or blocked arteries (in severe cases)
Diet for Lowering Cholesterol
The key dietary goal is to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol), increase HDL (good cholesterol), and control triglycerides.
Foods to Eat
| Category | Examples | Benefit |

| High-Fiber Foods | Oats, barley, legumes, fruits, veggies | Binds cholesterol and removes it |
| Healthy Fats | Avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil | Raise HDL and lower LDL |
| Omega-3 Fatty Acids | Salmon, flaxseeds, walnuts, chia seeds | Lower triglycerides |
| Antioxidant-rich foods | Berries, green tea, turmeric | Reduce inflammation and plaque formation |
| Whole grains | Brown rice, quinoa, whole wheat | Lower LDL, stabilize blood sugar |
