Obesity is one of the major health problems nowadays. Developed countries such as first and second class countries have many residents that is considered as obese. Obesity is dangerous because it can lead to many health complications in the future. One of the main contributors toward obesity is a high cholesterol diet. Eating a lot of foods with high cholesterol is so unhealthy. There are two types of cholesterol in this world. The high density cholesterol (HDL) or known as good cholesterol and the low density cholesterol (LDL) or better known as bad cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is the one that we need to be careful of. Foods such as junk food, sugary foods and fast food usually contain high amounts of bad cholesterol. As mentioned earlier, high intake of food with high cholesterol will give you future health complications. So, it is wise to cut down the intake of this kind of food. If you are unsure about your diet, you can always ask your personal doctor about it. Your doctor will be very happy to answer your questions (soalan).
Cutting down on a bad diet is not the only option to stay healthy. You can also choose to eat healthily. If you do not know where to start, you can always try referring to the food pyramid. Based on the food pyramid, you need to eat a lot of food that contains carb and protein. Besides, you also need to top it up with a lot of vegetables and fruits because they can give your body what it needs. Lastly, of course fats are a must but only in a small amount. Obviously, diet is not the only way to stay healthy. You can also choose to do physical activity in order to stay fit. Nowadays, there are a lot of sports and activities that we can choose from such as walking, running, cycling, swimming, hitting the gym or hiking. You just need to choose activities or sports that are suitable for you and do it regularly. It is recommended to do sport activities for around 30 minutes per session, 5 days per week.
Diet and physical activity is a must if you want to stay healthy. If you keep on eating high cholesterol diet and do nothing about it, there is a high chance that you will get future health complications later on. One of the most common complications is high blood pressure or better known as hypertension. Hypertension itself can also lead to more health complications that may be life-threatening. Usually, people with hypertension will be treated with antihypertensive drug and are advised to take care of their diet. Besides that, high cholesterol diet can also leads to health problem such as heart attack, angina or heart failure. The reason is because cholesterol will tend to accumulate in the blood vessel and end up blocking it, causing blockage to the oxygenated blood’s transfer. This condition will make the heart deprived of oxygen and soon lose it function. Of course these are not the only complications that may occur for high cholesterol diet. There are many more diseases and health conditions that can arise due to bad habit such as eating too many high cholesterol foods. If you think you are having difficulty to change your diet, you can always talk to your doctor about it. Your doctor will usually assess your condition and suggest the best possible ways to overcome your bad habit. Besides, you also need to be aware of your blood cholesterol level. You can do a regular check up in order to maintain your blood cholesterol level at a reasonable point.
