LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM – Have no family history heart disease does not mean you escape the risk of dangerous illness.
Moreover, an unhealthy lifestyle is one of the main triggers for its emergence heart disease against anyone.
Especially a lifestyle with foods high in bad fats that cause cholesterol to rise.
Heart specialist dr. Vito Damay Sp.JP (K) explained that cholesterol is actually needed by the body in the metabolic system. But it can also be a source of problems for health.
“So the problem is that bad cholesterol accumulates into plaques or narrows in the heart, which eventually turns into heart attack. That is no longer useful, “said Vito in the sharing session of ‘Love Your Heart is Not That Hard’, Sunday (27/9/2020).
Vito said, except for genetic factors, heart disease actually didn’t appear suddenly. It takes a long process for bad cholesterol to accumulate into plaque and clog blood vessels.
Not infrequently, this process occurs since the age of around 20s. Thus, Vito admits that it is not uncommon to find heart patients who are under 40 years of age.
“Indeed high cholesterol especially LDL or bad cholesterol is the main causative factor heart attack and it can increase at a young age. Sometimes young people don’t realize it, maybe because they don’t feel very fat, eating just plain isn’t dirty, eating fried occasionally. So that you are not aware high cholesterol, “he said.
Coupled with the smoking habit among young people. Vito reminded that smoking can make blood vessels inflamed and damaged.
As a result, cholesterol will be easier to enter and accumulate as plaque. If that’s the case, that’s for sure heart disease will also happen sooner.
