What Is Hyperlipidemia?
2. Diet
As mentioned, a lot of the cholesterol in our bodies comes from the food that we eat. There are two main types of cholesterol. Those are LDL cholesterols, which are the ‘bad’ variety. There are also HDL cholesterols, which are the ‘good variety. The bad variety is responsible for a lot of the problems that hyperlipidemia can cause, while the good types help to limit the levels of the bad type.
Red meat in particular is a source of a lot of the cholesterols in our diet. Cheese is also another common source, and eggs are another source of cholesterols. Fried foods are also going to be high in cholesterols, and processed foods are another culprit.
