Cholesterol is a substance that our body creates naturally and is needed in sufficient amounts to create new and healthy blood cells. It is essential to make certain hormones in our bodies, in addition to producing vitamin D. When elevated beyond normal levels, it starts to pose health risks. Cholesterol levels in our blood become elevated either due to hereditary genes, and/or when we consume a large amount of food rich in saturated fat. Hypercholesterolemia must be treated with lifestyle modification in addition to cholesterol-lowering medication if needed to prevent coronary heart disease. 

 

Examples of foods that are responsible for causing elevated cholesterol are saturated fats and trans fats such as:

• Organ meats
• Shellfish
• Highly processed foods
• Fast food
• Ready-baked goods
• Fried food
• Microwaved popcorn
• Processed cheese

The range we want to opt for when measuring cholesterol levels through blood tests in adult females & males is LDL < 100mg/dl.
