Guys, it is the last segment on the subject of Cholesterol. We are discussing here How your body weight and smoking habits affects on your heart. To prevent heart attack you have to control your body weight. How? Just take a look.
Control Your Body Weight:Check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to determine if your weight is correct for your height.
You can check your BMI by the following formula:
BMI = [Weight (Kg)] / [Height (Mts.) X Height (Mts.)]
If your BMI is less than 18.5, you are considered underweight.
If your BMI is from 18.5 and 24.9, you are considered to be in healthy weight range for your height.
If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9, you are considered overweight.
And, if your BMI is 30 or greater, you are considered obese.
Stop Smoking:Smoking doubles your risk of heart disease and stroke. It lowers ‘good’ (HDL) cholesterol and raises ‘bad’ (LDL) cholesterol. Smoking also increases the risk of developing lung cancer. There is really only one way to lower these risks: STOP SMOKING.
Passive smoking is also dangerous for health. Children are at particular risk due to adult’s smoking can develop adverse health effects including coughing, bronchitis, worsening of asthma, middle ear disease, and possibly hear disease in adulthood.
Women who smoke or are exposed to other people smoking have a greater risk of having a miscarriage, premature birth and low birth weight babies.Talk to your health care provider about a stop-smoking program.
Quitting smoking is the single most important step that you can take to safeguard your health.
Manage Your Stress:
Stress over the long term has been shown to raise blood cholesterol levels. One way that stress may do this is by affecting your habits. For example, when some people are under stress, they console themselves by eating fatty foods. The saturated fats in these foods contribute to higher levels of blood cholesterol.
Medications for Lowering Cholesterol Levels:
If the above measures don’t lower your cholesterol levels enough, your doctor may also prescribe medication.
Be sure to take it exactly as directed and continue to follow the guidance in this booklet. (Note : Please click at center for enlarge view)
