[Title] => Smoking increases bad cholesterol
[Summary] => Roger S. is a 57-year-old writer. He’s generally conscious about his health; in fact, he’s a vegetarian. He does not drink alcohol. He exercises regularly. It came as a big surprise when he found out that he had alarming levels of total cholesterol and the bad type of cholesterol or LDL. Aside from possible genetic predisposition, the only risk factor that his doctor could think of was his heavy smoking. He used to smoke two packs daily.

[Title] => New hope for high-risk heart patients
[Summary] => Experts are seeing new hope in improving survival of high-risk heart patients. Tens of thousands of deaths each year may be prevented with the use of the class of cholesterol-lowering drugs called statins.
Heart experts worldwide are calling for a major change in treatment guidelines recommending statins in high-risk patients even if their blood cholesterol levels are just slightly elevated or still within normal limits. It is predicted that the results of recent landmark trials are set to revolutionize the way cholesterol-lowering drugs are prescribed.

[Title] => High cholesterol could be in the genes
[Summary] => Cholesterol problems or dyslipidemia is usually considered a lifestyle disease because its cause may be lifestyle-related, brought about by a high-fat and high-calorie diet, sedentary living and smoking.
Many are unaware though that the tendency for one to have high cholesterol could be in the genes. One may be born with the inherited defect to metabolize fats. Seven out of 1000 people are suffering from this inherited disease called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

[Title] => A post-Lenten resolve for good health
[Summary] => We’ve just been through Lent, which afforded us the time to cleanse the soul through prayers and meditation. At the same time, through fasting and abstinence, we also had an opportunity to cleanse our bodies. Somehow, Lent reminded us to live a healthier lifestyle, abstaining not only from red ‘high-cholesterol" meat but also from other things such as liquor, coffee and cigarette smoking.

[Title] => The cholesterol war rages
[Summary] => Not as graphically violent as the Iraq war, but probably more disastrous – killing thousands of victims daily who succumb to heart attacks and strokes – is the raging war against cholesterol and its atherosclerotic complications, caused by narrowing of the arteries supplying the vital organs such as the heart, brain and kidneys.
Many heart specialists also lament that one reason why we have not decisively won this war against cholesterol is that many physicians worldwide do not seem aggressive enough in treating cholesterol problems.

[Title] => Statins: Bad cholesterol’s nightmare
[Summary] => Statins sounded Greek to many a decade ago. Now, it is already a household term to many who associate this type of drugs with effective cholesterol-lowering.
It’s called the nightmare of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is the bad cholesterol. Statins significantly reduce LDL. They are the ally of the high-density lipoprotein (HDL), the good cholesterol, which helps clear LDL from the circulation. Statins slightly increase HDL.
