High or low cholesterol - both are causes for concern, here's how to solve them

Bangla Press Desk:   If your cholesterol level increases, it is a cause for concern. Even if it decreases, it is a cause for concern. Cholesterol that is too low than normal also harms the body. Everyone is worried about bad cholesterol. It is harmful only when its level increases in the blood.
Again, increased cholesterol increases the risk of heart disease. However, if cholesterol decreases too much, then the same thing is a cause for concern. Cholesterol that is too low than normal is a major cause of various physical problems. If cholesterol increases too much, you have to take medicine, even if it decreases. However, in this case, it is important to consult a doctor.
Because cholesterol has both good and bad sides. Good cholesterol (HDL) controls the balance of hormones and helps in the production of vitamin D. And bad cholesterol (LDL) accumulates in the arteries of the heart, obstructing the flow of blood. As a result, it increases the risk of heart disease. Therefore, when cholesterol increases, worry also increases. However, if cholesterol decreases too much, then various physical problems can occur.
And there is a possibility of danger only if the cholesterol level in the blood exceeds 200 milligrams per deciliter. Generally, the normal level of good cholesterol (HDL) in the blood should be 40 milligrams per deciliter for men and 50 milligrams for women. If it falls below this, then there is harm.
A decrease in cholesterol in the blood is called in medical terms - 'hypolipidemia'. This results in hormonal imbalance. It causes mental health problems. Anxiety and depression increase. As a result, the risk of hemorrhagic stroke also increases. And if cholesterol is low, the body cannot absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Especially in pregnancy, if the normal level of cholesterol in the blood decreases, the child may be born prematurely. Or the child may have very low weight after birth.
