High cholesterol levels – Elevated levels of bad cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. Obesity and poor diet – Being overweight coupled with other risk factors can lead to heart problems.

Aster proteins mediate the nonvesicular transport of cholesterol from the plasma membrane (PM) to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here we show that loss of Aster-B leads to diet-induced obesity in female but not in male mice, and that this sex difference is abolished by ovariectomy.

Eat a Balanced Diet A heart healthy diet is the foundation of cardiovascular health. Limit your intake of saturated and trans fats, as they can raise cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease. They can assess your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other risk factors.

We talk about the ketogenic diet as a metabolic therapy for type 1 diabetes. For each 1-hour increase in nightly sleep duration, there was: a 38% reduction in the risk for a new diagnosis of obesity a 23% lower risk for a new diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea The median sleep duration of the study cohort was 6.8 hours per night.

The average Non-HDL cholesterol for western populations is 3.6 The average Non-HDL cholesterol is 2.9 For other significant risk factors, the trend is also the same, with almost nonexistent rates of obesity, abnormal glycemic control and very low rates of smoking 14. This does not mean everyone should eat this type of diet.

The accumulation of cholesterol, foam cells, fibrous tissue, and calcium mainly causes the narrowing of coronary arteries. However, recent studies have observed that people below 40 are also experiencing heart attacks due to high blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking, obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, and social and mental stress.
