GridHEALTH.id – Cholesterol actually plays a central role in brain health. When the brain is deficient in cholesterol, one of the most basic structural and functional components, it creates fertile ground for some of our most feared and damaging diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and even the risk of suicide.
And the prestigious journal Neurology recently published a report showing that older people with the highest cholesterol levels may actually have a 70% reduced risk of dementia.
But excess cholesterol is also not a good thing because high cholesterol means there is too much fat in the blood.
If left unchecked, fat can settle in the blood vessels and block blood flow. This condition will cause a number of diseases, including hypertension and heart disease.
In order to avoid various diseases caused by high cholesterol such as heart disease and stroke, we need to keep cholesterol levels normal.

High cholesterol levels can be controlled by applying healthy lifestylea balanced diet and regular exercise.
Those who are at high risk of cholesterol should stop/avoid smoking and exercise more.
It is important to eat a balanced diet, with home-cooked meals whenever possible.
People in their 40s should have their cholesterol levels checked. Get a blood test early if there are other risk factors, such as obesity, a family history of premature death from a heart attack, or smoking.
Consider taking medication if diet and exercise don’t help control risk. It is important to have a family doctor who can regularly monitor our condition to check for side effects, if any, which are rare.
