Blame Your Eating Habit, First!
There is no doubt that increase in
cholesterol levels are caused by uncontrolled food intake. But how can it be?
It’s our lifestyle that determines our eating habits and other behaviors that
are unbeneficial to our health.
It is what, where, when and why we eat. Many of the people to day have no specific pattern in their eating habits. A healthy home routine eating habit may by disrupt by a heavy lunch in meetings, celebration, parties or any occasion that serves food. Travelers and businessmen are served with extra-ordinary food dishes in their hotels. They have their lunch meeting most of the time, a reason to get around and discuss things.
We become lazy because a lot of convenience around us is spoiling our bodies. You don’t need to walk to the office, just get a taxi. You don’t have to use the stairs, there are lifts and elevators that brings you up and down. Even a bicycle turns to a motor cycle, no paddle, no sweat. We work motionless, from behind our desks, to do everything for the success of our career and life, except moving our body to exercise. Isn’t it true?
Are you Asian, European or Afro-American? Their cholesterol is different significantly. Countries that depend on food originating from animals and diary products have higher blood cholesterol levels compared to countries that consume fish. Northern European countries have higher blood cholesterol levels than the southern part. People living in high mountains have lower cholesterol than city dwellers.
Some people may inherit high blood cholesterol from their parents. It is in the family, they say. If the incidence of high cholesterol in the family is high, it is called familial hypercholeterolaemia. If it is found in combination with a high level of triglyseride is known as familial combined hyperlipidaemia.
High cholesterol may occur in relation with other illness, e.g. thyroid hormone disorders, kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus and alcohol abuse.

habits

We can eat whenever we want. 24-hours café,
restaurants, food hawkers are ready to serve you with any kind of food you can
imagine. We have even people who eat because of frustration. Snacks and junk food
are available anywhere. What more to say? Are you a part of it?
