Causes and signs of high LDL cholesterol in bloodRead More...High cholesterol in your blood can lead to a number of complications. It is the primary factor that leads to heart attack. Cholesterols are nothing, but fats that are present in your blood. When these unbroken fats get deposited in the arteries leading to your heart, cardiac arrest occurs. So it is essential to reduce cholesterol levels in your body.
There are two kinds of cholesterol, Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and High-density lipoprotein (HDL). Among these, LDL is the bad cholesterol, and you must lower LDL cholesterol in your blood for a healthy life. Here are the causes of high LDL cholesterol level in your blood.
Poor diet
Saturated fats and trans fat-rich food are the main reasons for a higher LDL cholesterol level. The best way to lower LDL cholesterol is to cut off these foods from your diet.Obesity
Obesity is a symptom of the presence of excess fat in your body. Fat increases the LDL cholesterol level.Lack of exercises or no exercises
Exercise helps to burn fat and boost the HDL cholesterol, which is a good cholesterol and lower LDL cholesterol, the bad one, in the process. So if you have work which involves sitting for long hours, or you are too lazy to exercise, it acts against lowering LDL cholesterol.Smoking
Smoking damages the walls of the blood vessels making them prone to accumulate fat deposits.Diabetes
High blood sugar level is also a cause for high LDL cholesterol level in the blood.Signs that you have high LDL cholesterol
Generally, high cholesterol doesn’t have any symptoms. Sometimes, if you are experiencing frequent chest pains, it may be a sign of high cholesterol in your blood. The only way to know whether you have high LDL cholesterol is to take a blood test, which shows a total blood cholesterol level beyond 240 mg/dL. You must immediately take steps to lower LDL cholesterol level to make sure that you don’t suffer a heart attack. Maintain a healthy life with good diet and regular exercises to avoid the rise of cholesterol in your blood and consult your doctor on the same. -
Why is dental insurance for seniors necessaryRead More...Young people just out of college think they can conquer the world with their utopian ideas of life. Not very difficult I believe. In their 30s people have a pragmatic approach to life. After a decade passes, they become prudent in their notion and behavior. As they grow older, retrospection comes into play. And, that is when the “If only I had….” sentences become more recurrent.
When it comes to matters of health insurance, particularly of dental insurance, as a senior, it is always better to be prepared than be repentant. A fundamental prerequisite for anyone who can afford it would be an enhanced dental insurance policy.
Dental insurance for seniors is essential because various health conditions like osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes and many other such conditions/illnesses share common risk factors with oral disease. The need to recognize that the general health of an individual is closely related to their oral health will help in deciding the important debate of whether to have dental insurance or not.
Dedicated dental insurance policies for seniors incorporate an assortment of care and treatment packages. Everything from yearly dental prophylaxis, systematic oral evaluation, X-rays, diagnostic casts, palliative or emergency pain relief, cementing, adding crowns, moulds or fillings, root canal treatment, extraction of decayed teeth, fixing complete or partial dentures, and repairing and servicing them, scaling and graft procedures and plenty more remedial and management measures for teeth and gums are covered.
From as low as $7 US to a holistic plan that costs over $700 US, there are countless dental insurance policies for seniors. Reading through the information brochures fully, understanding clearly what you are receiving for the money you are spending, and then settling on the best plan that is most suitable is the ideal way to go about the whole process.
As aging happens, increase in health issues is common. In addition to planning and saving for a good general insurance policy, an excellent all-inclusive, stand-alone dental insurance policy is a must for seniors.
