Cholesterol and Women
Cholesterol and Women
Cholesterol is becoming a serial killer and targeting women too.
With the recent survey it was confirmed that every year almost
500,000 American women dies due to high cholesterol and its
related disease. Nowadays men and women are going head to head
in terms of cholesterol level and giving each other a tough
fight. Earlier times it was only men who were at the risk of
high cholesterol but now with changing lifestyle and eating
habits women are too catching up. Approximately there are 56
million American women who are at the stage of having high
cholesterol. This sudden increase has created a rage among women
as it is going at very high speed.
American Health Association has confirmed these statistics and
also stated that with these changing trends now women are under
more threat in comparison to the men. Women usually have higher
High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) in their body in comparison to
men. This HDL is said to be good cholesterol but ones this
cholesterol starts falling Low Density Lipoproteins is on raise.
This usually happens at the time when women start consuming
unhygienic and fatty diet. So they are always advised to do
constant exercises and body movements in order to be fit and in
shape. Cholesterol generally rises in the women body during and
after the pregnancy. In pregnancy women are advised to go in for
healthy and rich diet but they take it as misconception and
starts consuming fatty and oily diet. However it is good to
intake them but they should be accompanied with exercises.
This consumed fat gradually settles at the arteries and its
surrounding walls resulting in cardiovascular disease. After
pregnancy in order to gain health and fitness women are advised
to consume more food. This again uncontrolled and unhygienic
diet is the road towards heart disease. Experts always advise
women to do constant exercises and body movements so that the
extra fat settled around arteries gets burned. It has been
noticed that waist, thighs and biceps are the major areas where
the fat settles. So it is wise for women to do exercises
targeting these areas.
So if you're pregnant women or recently gave a birth to a baby
then this is the time to pull up your socks and gear up for some
body exercises. Hard work and exercise at this time is the road
to healthy life and happy living.
