Each one of us has some cholesterol. Our bodies rely on it to stay healthy since every cell requires it. The liver produces cholesterol naturally as a fatty substance in the blood. Cholesterol is found in some of the foods we eat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When your blood contains too much cholesterol, you have high cholesterol. It can increase the risk of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heart attacks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, strokes, and other circulatory conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"new-cta-btn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/calendar-1.png\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/contact-us.php\">Request an Appointment at Patiala Heart<\/a><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 30px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_most_common_causes_of_high_cholesterol\"><\/span><b> 7 most common causes of high cholesterol : <\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b> Stress : <\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/cardiology.php\"><strong>Chronic stress<\/strong><\/a> causes several health problems, including high cholesterol. Chronic stress is the primary cause of high cholesterol. Research shows that it lowers HDL (&#8220;good&#8221;) cholesterol levels and increases your risk for high LDL (&#8220;bad&#8221;) cholesterol.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like cortisol and adrenaline, stress hormones can cause insulin resistance, resulting in high blood sugar. The liver may start pumping out more cholesterol, and fatty acids called triglycerides with time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b> Medication :<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some drugs may have an unexpected effect on your cholesterol. These include certain birth control pills, retinoids, corticosteroids, antivirals, and anticonvulsants.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some medicines for high blood pressure, such as diuretics and older forms of beta-blockers, can also raise your cholesterol. Talk to your doctor about any medications that you take. You may need a different dose or another drug altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b> Obesity :<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overweight and obese people are more likely to suffer from high cholesterol, even if it is only 20% above a healthy weight for their age and height. The obesity-induced production of LDL cholesterol in your liver prevents your body from eliminating it once it has been released.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you&#8217;re obese, your body responds differently to the fats you consume, so achieving good cholesterol levels requires a weight loss approach coupled with exercise and a healthy diet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Smoking :<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smoking is another significant cause of high cholesterol. It lowers both <\/span><b>good and bad cholesterol.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are two ways in which smoking induces cholesterol. First of all, it causes your HDL (good) cholesterol level to drop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, it makes cholesterol stickier, creating a greater chance of sticking to artery walls. Due to smoking&#8217;s effect on constricted and damaged arteries, this sticking effect is even more frightening.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Liver Problems :<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your liver makes, processes, and breaks down cholesterol. When your liver doesn&#8217;t work correctly, it can affect your cholesterol levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most common conditions is a nonalcoholic fatty <a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/gastroenterology-and-hepatology.php\"><strong>liver disease<\/strong><\/a> (NAFLD) when extra fat is stored in the liver. It affects nearly 1 in 4 adults. The more severe form is known as NASH (nonalcoholic steatohepatitis). It causes the liver to swell and scar, leading to liver cirrhosis.<\/span><br \/>\nfrightening.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Diet :<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saturated fats increase &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol, but it is lowered by foods rich in fiber and Omega-3 fats, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moreover, a <\/span><b>diet to lower cholesterol<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> doesn&#8217;t need to be highly restrictive or boring. Eat various vegetables and fruits, fish, lean meat, and low-fat dairy products to maintain cholesterol levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Too Much Alcohol<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive alcohol consumption not only causes high cholesterol but also causes liver damage. Drinking too much can increase your cholesterol, so be careful when you do so. Men who drink heavily &#8211; about 4\u00bd drinks or more at one time &#8211; have higher cholesterol levels than those who do not.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-size: 25px; color: #294694;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Takeaway<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High cholesterol, if left untreated, leads to severe health problems. This condition can be managed with the help of your doctor, and in many cases, some complications can be prevented. In many instances, high cholesterol has no symptoms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\">Patiala Heart Institute<\/a><\/strong>, you get the best treatment for high cholesterol from our highly efficient <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/cardiothoracic-surgery.php\"><b>Cardiologist in Patiala<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> who can easily guide you with the proper medication and treatment for your body.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"new-cta-btn\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/calendar-1.png\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/patialaheart.com\/contact-us.php\">Request an Appointment at Patiala Heart<\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 19px;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Frequently Asked Question<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n        <section class=\"sc_fs_faq sc_card \">\n            <div>\n\t\t\t\t<h4>What reduces cholesterol quickly?<\/h4>                <div>\n\t\t\t\t\t                    <p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tA healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce high blood cholesterol levels.
