The phrase "heavy heart" usually refers to emotions. Psychological distress rather than a physical condition. Emotional or psychological distress alone is unlikely to cause a heart attack. Although chronic stress and anxiety. Can increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease over time. Heart attacks usually occur as a result of plaque buildup in the coronary arteries. That supplies blood to the heart muscle. When plaque ruptures or a blood clot forms, it can block blood flow to the heart muscle, leading to a heart attack. While emotional distress can lead to physical symptoms. As increased heart rate and blood pressure are not the direct cause of a heart attack. There are several risk factors that can increase the likelihood of developing cardiovascular. Disease and heart attack, including smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Diabetes, obesity, lack of physical activity, and a family history of heart disease. These risk factors are generally more sig

LDL 'bad' cholesterol and HDL 'good' cholesterol the former kills, and the latter are good for health. Some people live a healthy and fit lifestyle, but their LDL and HDL levels are very low. What's up?
The truth is, no one knows how cholesterol works in the body.
Cholesterol is an insoluble lipid. This means that these compounds must enter the bloodstream. By binding to protein molecules and transport.
The mix of fat and protein is also known as a lipoprotein. There are two types of low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein. The first is 'bad' because it is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. The thickening of the arteries can lead to heart disease or stroke.
But, many other factors increase the risk of atherosclerosis. Such as immune reactions and inflammation.
Cholesterol levels affect how well dietary fat absorb from the gut. And how well the liver breaks down LDL cholesterol.
There are also genetic factors associated with a person's cholesterol levels. This relates to the level of parents and siblings. It may be very healthy, but it raises your 'bad' cholesterol levels.
Although high levels of "good" HDL cholesterol as known to be protective. There is no evidence that low levels of HDL are harmful. So, it appears that all causes of atherosclerosis relate to "bad" LDL cholesterol.
The advice given by medical professionals is to keep your 'bad' LDL cholesterol below 3 mmol per liter. And your total cholesterol is below 5 mmol per liter or more.
For this, they recommend a diet based on plants, fruits, and vegetables. They recommend reducing animal fat and getting. As much protein and fat as possible from oily fish. They also recommend that you avoid smoking and exercise if you are overweight.
But, given the new health mindset of reversing obesity and heart disease. By reducing sugar and increasing healthy saturated fats in food. These tips now seem too simplistic.
Is a diet high in sugar and carbohydrates now linked to high cholesterol, which leads to obesity?
Does Too Much Sugar Interfere With Cholesterol Metabolism?
With the global obesity crisis emerging and many people can concern. Of LDL cholesterol levels, there may be a link between the two diseases.
Could it be due to the overuse of man-made vegetable oil? Current advice is to "avoid" natural fats in foods such as butter, whole milk, and cheese. Could this "unusual" way of telling you what to eat lead to high levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol?
The results of research on this idea should be very interesting.
