TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Bad cholesterol is an allusion of LDL cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein), call it “bad” because if the amount of this cholesterol experiences an abnormal amount, it can cause an unhealthy body reaction to the risk of other diseases.
Reasonable size cholesterol Normal LDL in the blood is less than 130 mg / dL, if someone is diabetic or atherosclerotic, the amount of LDL cholesterol should not be more than 100 mg / dL, or low 70mg / dL. The presence of LDL cholesterol in the body, especially human blood circulation plays an important role, in charge of transporting cholesterol from the liver to the cells that need it, when there is a large amount of LDL cholesterol, this cholesterol can stick to the artery walls.
Cholesterol that sticks to the walls of the arteries for a certain period of time forms plaque, the presence of this plaque is what causes a blockage of blood and oxygen circulation to the body’s organs. If one of the organs in the body lacks blood and oxygen supply, complications will occur and eventually trigger new diseases. Diseases triggered by bad cholesterol, such as heart attack, stroke, kidney disease and peripheral artery disease.
Symptoms that arise can be felt by the body when cholesterol levels are abnormal, such as producing a sore and heavy reaction in the neck bending. This is triggered because the blood flow near the neck muscles is disturbed as well as the automatic oxygen supply that is affected.
