Cholesterol: Good Guy / Bad Guy
Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance in our body that serves a healthy purpose. It aids in the creation of cell membranes, and hormones. This soft, fat-like substance floats around the bloodstream and appears in all our cells because it is a necessary ingredient for health. Cholesterol becomes unhealthy when there is an excess of a certain type of cholesterol that can lead to heart attacks and strokes. This is when Lescol steps in and helps lower harmful cholesterol levels. Lescol attacks the bad cholesterol.
Cholesterol comes from the food you eat and naturally occurs in your body. Lescol is used to combat the excess amounts of cholesterol in your body. Approximately 75% of blood cholesterol comes from the liver and other cells with the remaining 25% coming from your large fries, burgers, funnel cakes, and other foods that you eat. Lescol can help disperse the naturally occurring cholesterol and the ingested cholesterol that pose a risk to your health.
The bad cholesterol, or LDL, that Lescol attacks does occur naturally but usually in small amounts that you own system can manage. As soon as you compound your cholesterol with saturated fats, hydrogenated oils, and another greasy donut, you are adding to the rick of clogging your arteries, heart attack, and stroke. If you have a family history of high LDL cholesterol, then adjusting the foods you eat may not be enough action for your health. Your physician will know how best to prescribe Lescol for your optimal health.
LDL, Low Density Lipoprotein, is the type of cholesterol that can clog the arteries by forming a plaque on the interior of the walls which is why it is called "bad". HDL, or High Density Lipoprotein, is termed good cholesterol because high levels of this type seem to help lower the risk of heart disease and even remove excess cholesterol from the buildup in the arteries and slow the clogging. HDL works with Lescol to assist the health balance of cholesterol in your body. That is why it is important to ask your Doctor how best to use Lescol and what foods and other medications you can take with it.
Lescol Side Effects
Lescol can have side effects and allergic reactions. Always consult your doctor on any symptoms that you develop. You may experience dizziness, indigestion, trouble sleeping, muscle pain, tenderness, weakness, rash, yellow skin or eyes, or sinus infection.
