➡️Early warning Sign and Causes of High cholesterol

Cholesterol is considered to be the biggest enemy of the heart. Heart disease cases have increased rapidly in the last few years. According to the World Health Organization, heart disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Let us tell you that high cholesterol is the main cause of most of your heart diseases. Let us know what is high cholesterol? What are the symptoms of high or low cholesterol? How much cholesterol should there be? etc.

What is high cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance produced by the liver, which is necessary for digestion, vitamin D, formation of cell membranes and some hormones. Cholesterol is not soluble, so it cannot reach other organs on its own. For this, particles called lipoproteins are needed which help in transporting cholesterol to other organs through blood. There are two types of lipoproteins:-

➡️Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)

Low-density lipoprotein is also known as bad cholesterol. It can accumulate in the arteries and cause many health problems, such as stroke, heart attack, etc.

➡️ High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)

High density lipoprotein is also called good cholesterol. It helps in returning cholesterol back to the liver so that cholesterol can be removed. Next we will know how much HDL cholesterol should be and how much LDL cholesterol should be.
What are the symptoms of High cholesterol?

Although there are no symptoms of increased cholesterol, it is a risk factor for other diseases. Still, some changes in the physical condition can indicate increased cholesterol. Let us know what are the symptoms and remedies for increased cholesterol:-

➡️Weight gain

Continuous increase in your weight is a symptom of high cholesterol. That is, when your body weight is normal and suddenly obesity increases, then the risk of high cholesterol is high. When cholesterol increases, the doctor first asks you to lose weight and take precautions regarding food habits.

➡️Persistent pain in legs

Persistent pain in the legs without any reason is a symptom of high cholesterol. This should not be taken lightly and if it persists for a long time, a doctor should be consulted immediately.

➡️Excessive sweating

Sweating is not a big deal. But if someone sweats more than necessary, then it can be a symptom of increased cholesterol.

➡️Change in skin color

If the cholesterol level in your body is high, then there can be a change in the color of your skin. In such a situation, the color of hands and feet can appear yellow. At such a time, you can get your cholesterol level checked.

➡️Chest pain

Chest pain can also be a symptom of high cholesterol. If you have persistent chest pain, you should get your cholesterol checked. This problem can be serious. Sometimes this pain can also be a symptom of a heart attack.

➡️Cramps

🤔😳Notice this change in your face and neck? Don't be aggressive. It might be lung cancer.

World Lung Cancer Day 2024: Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer among all cancers. And lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Lung cancer is a type of cancer. It starts with the abnormal growth of cells in the lungs. When these cells grow out of control, lung function is affected, and in severe cases, the cells can divide and spread to other organs

The lung is a sponge like organ in our chest area. It controls breathing. Although this type of lung cancer is caused by various causes, the primary and most important cause is smoking. People with this smoking habit have a high risk of developing lung cancer. Not only that, even non-smokers are at risk of developing this deadly cancer.

World Lung Cancer Day is observed on 01 August every year. This day is celebrated to raise awareness about lung cancer. Early detection and treatment of this lung cancer can prevent life-threatening complications and prolong life. Here are the early symptoms of lung cancer. If it is also lung cancer, its symptoms can also be seen in the face and neck area. Now let's look at those symptoms.

puffy face

If a person often notices puffiness on their face for no apparent reason, it could be a sign of lung cancer. This is because cancerous tumors in the lungs can press on the vein or the surrounding area from near the superior vena cava (SVC) and cause an obstruction, resulting in swelling. And this inflammation affects not only the face, but also the neck, arms and upper chest, and the skin may appear bluish-red.

Change in skin texture

If lung cancer is present, it can cause changes in skin texture and color. And if the skin color on the face and neck area is darker than others, there is a possibility of lung cancer. And if you notice flat brown, black, or red spots or patches on the skin, it could be lung cancer. facial pain Facial pain is a rare symptom of non-metastatic lung cancer. This can be caused by various factors. However, if you experience sudden and frequent pain in the face without any reason, it is possible to have lung cancer.

Change in facial structure

Sometimes if the face looks asymmetric or droopy, it can indicate the presence of lung cancer. This change in the face leads to facial numbness.

Discoloration of lips

If you see the color of the lips turning blue or purple, it is a sign of low oxygen in your blood. Lung cancer may be a major cause of this. Other

symptoms of lung cancer

Symptoms of lung cancer vary from person to person. Since most lung cancer symptoms are associated with other common health problems, many people tend to take it for granted and ignore it. At the same time, some people with lung cancer have no symptoms in the early stages and are diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Early symptoms of lung cancer include:

Persistent cough
Shortness of breath
Chest pain and discomfort
Difficulty breathing
Coughing up blood
Hoarseness of voice
Loss of appetite
Sudden weight loss
Pain in shoulders

✅How to strengthen your bones: Simple tips for every age

The recommended daily intake (RDI) for calcium is 1,000 mg for most people, but kids require 1,300 mg and women over 50 require 1,200 mg! Here are some basic techniques to keep bones healthy:

1. Consume calcium-rich foods.

Calcium is necessary for bone strength. Dairy products, leafy greens, and nutritious foods can all help you get enough calcium throughout the day.

2. Get enough vitamin D.

Vitamin D helps your body acquire calcium. Consider taking a supplement if you aren't receiving enough from sunlight or food.

3. Strength Training and Weight-bearing Exercises

Regular activity improves bones. Walking, running, and weight lifting are all excellent bone-building activities.

4. Consume Protein

Adequate protein consumption promotes bone density, particularly as you age. Eat calcium-rich meals to balance your consumption.

5. Collagen Supplements

Collagen is the primary protein in bones. Collagen supplements could help to support bone structure, as suggested by studies.
