The most popular causes of high cholesterol
Spoiler alert - eggs don't raise cholesterol levels! Because the cholesterol we eat has nothing to do with the cholesterol in our blood.
Below are the most common causes of high cholesterol:
A large amount of carbohydrates in the diet will give high cholesterol levels
In case of malfunction of the thyroid gland - with hypothyroidism
In case of poor functioning of the gallbladder, with stagnation of bile: it is necessary to look at the level of bilirubin and ultrasound of the abdominal organs
Cholesterol will rise with inflammation in the body
A decrease in estrogen will also be associated with an increase in cholesterol
Genetic сauses
To find out what problem you have, you need to consult a specialist. It is also worth remembering that only one indicator "Total cholesterol" does not give us complete information, it is also necessary to monitor the level of Triglycerides, Low density lipoproteins (LDL), High density lipoproteins (HDL), Cholesterol / HDL ratio and Triglycerides / HDL ratio.
If you have already changed your diet, eliminated fast food, added regular physical activity, then as part of an integrated approach, you can use supplements. But remember, supplements won't work if your lifestyle and diet stay the same.
