As this doses off the artery, which has also usually become inelastic as well based on the calcification, blood flow to the heart is restricted, thus the critical problem of destroying heart tissue due to inadequate oxygen supplies. Not only does the plaque cause blockage directly, it can also cause ruptures in the arteries which will cause blood clots further blocking blood flow. But regardless of all the ramifications, most people have a hard time dealing with high cholesterol. lire fact that they have to change life long habits or start new ones makes it difficult. But the commitment to do so can have other benefits besides lowering cholesterol levels. First of all, losing weight is a major factor in lowering cholesterol levels. Individuals need to find out what their ideal body weight is and then work with a physidan on a diet that will work for them. Part of the diet thing is also to exercise. Just changing eating habits doesn't do enough. Most people need one half hour of exercise three times per week to get good benefits. More exercise is helpful, but be careful not to over do it either. As most doctors will advise, the diet should be a low fat and low cholesterol diet. People need to pay attention to the saturated fats they eat. Foods that are high in that type of fat are fatty types of red meat, butter, tropical oils (such as coconut oil) fried foods and whole milk. Low fat items to eat include vegetables and fruits, whole grains, skim milk, fish and DEBI DAVIS tributing writer low fat cuts of meat. Most physicians also feel that other parts of a diet or habits can hurt cholesterol levels. Smoking and alcohol consumption are also contributing factors to high cholesterol. In addition, many people who have hardened arteries also have high blood pressure. Caffeine can add to a persons blood pressure as well, so not only would it be good to cut out caffcinated drinks such as coffee (with sugar) and soda pop for the sugar levels, but it also would eliminate large amounts of caf-- Residential & Commercial us for all your heating and refrigeration needs Call Price Sheet Metal 594 South Carbon Ave., Price Hour Service r d ' 637-258- 0 637-870- 9 eat One cannot keep eating the way they currently eat and pect the body to look any dif ferent than it currently does. A change in the body requires a change in thinking as well as a change in eating. Only the dieter can be responsible for what feine from an individuals diet In addition, soft drinks also often have lots of sodium in them, which is a factor in high blood pressure as well. Sometimes diet and exercise dont do much. Because of this physicians will sometimes prescribe medication to control cholesterol. There are basically four kinds of medications. The first is a group of drugs called statins. These type of drugs change the way the liver handles and produces cholesterol Side affects come with most of these, but for the most part doctors can find one that will give minimal problems. Another remedy is niacin. This is a B vitamin, which has been proved to lower LDL cholesterol levels in various subjects. It can also raise HDL levels and alter triglycerides as well. But just because it is a vitamin, doesn't mean it shouldn't be administered under the care of a doctor. Another group of remedies is the fibric acid drugs. These lower the triglycerides and increase the they choose to put in their mouth. For the most part, the public is well aware of what foods are good for them and which ones go straight to the long-ter- of foods. Finally there is a group of drugs called resins. These drugs fool the liver by keeping the bile acid in the intestines from traveling to the liver. The liver then thinks there is a shortage of bile so it produces more. This is good because it takes cholesterol for the liver to produce it. This fat-fr- ee all-ti- nothing can stop them from losing those unwanted pounds. carbohydrates.
