Top 6 reasons!"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>It is difficult to identify whether cholesterol is present through symptoms. Therefore, it is better for those over the age of 20 to have a Lipid Profile test periodically. Cholesterol can be controlled and heart health can be protected through lifestyle changes and proper treatment.<\/p>\n<p>Cholesterol increase is not only caused by diet, but also by many other factors. The main reasons are:<\/p>\n<p>1. Wrong diet<br \/>\nFoods containing saturated fat and trans fat play a major role in increasing cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>Things to avoid: Red meats like beef and mutton, fatty dairy products, bakery products, and fried foods.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d1c\u0d40\u0d35\u0d3f\u0d24\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d7d  \u0d07\u0d28\u0d3f \u0d15\u0d4a\u0d33\u0d38\u0d4d\u200c\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d4b\u0d7e \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32 \u0d08 \u0d12\u0d30\u0d46\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d23 \u0d09\u0d2a\u0d2f\u0d4b\u0d17\u0d3f\u0d1a\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d4d \u0d28\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d42\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/icmw8ZmYl7w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>2. Lack of exercise<br \/>\nDecreased physical activity causes a decrease in the level of good cholesterol (HDL) in the body and an increase in the level of bad cholesterol (LDL). Exercising daily will help burn fat.<\/p>\n<p>3. Obesity<br \/>\nPeople with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more or who are obese are at a higher risk of developing high cholesterol. Fat accumulation around the abdomen is especially dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>4. Genetics<br \/>\nSome people can inherit high cholesterol even if their diet is healthy. This is called familial hypercholesterolemia. If someone in your family has high cholesterol, it is likely to affect you too.<\/p>\n<p>5. Smoking and alcohol<br \/>\nSmoking destroys good cholesterol, HDL, and damages the walls of blood vessels. Excessive alcohol consumption increases the level of triglycerides in the blood.<\/p>\n<p>6. Age and gender<br \/>\nAs we age, the liver&#8217;s ability to remove bad cholesterol decreases. Similarly, in women who have gone through menopause, a decrease in the level of the hormone estrogen can cause cholesterol to increase.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d1c\u0d40\u0d35\u0d3f\u0d24\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d7d  \u0d07\u0d28\u0d3f \u0d15\u0d4a\u0d33\u0d38\u0d4d\u200c\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d4b\u0d7e \u0d35\u0d30\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d4d\u0d32 \u0d08 \u0d12\u0d30\u0d46\u0d23\u0d4d\u0d23 \u0d09\u0d2a\u0d2f\u0d4b\u0d17\u0d3f\u0d1a\u0d4d\u0d1a\u0d4d \u0d28\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d4d\u0d15\u0d42\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/icmw8ZmYl7w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Things to consider to reduce cholesterol:<br \/>\nFood: Include oats, barley, nuts, fish, and vegetables in your diet.<\/p>\n<p>Coconut oil: Limit the use of oil.<\/p>\n<p>Walking: Make it a habit to walk briskly for 30-45 minutes every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is difficult to identify whether cholesterol is present through &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":29769,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-job"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-5-3.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29768"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29768\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29770,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29768\/revisions\/29770"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/29769"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
