Familial Lipid Disorders: Do They Work Against You to Reduce Cholesterol?
There are several traits we inherit from our family that can impact our ability to control or reduce cholesterol. A number of conditions that affect cholesterol and can cause high cholesterol are classified and grouped together under the umbrella of familial lipid disorders (FLD).
Some of the FLDs that cause the body to produce too much cholesterol in one form or another are called Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia or Hypertriglyceridemia. These both manifest themselves with the trait of very high triglyceride levels. They are most common in families that battle obesity from one generation to the next.
Elevated levels of low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, which is the bad cholesterol, are found in the disorder known as Familial Defective Apolipoprotein B-100 and several other inherited disorders which can raise total cholesterol All of this scientific terminology and background can make high cholesterol seem like an inevitable "disease" for someone unlucky enough to have it in their genes. It is important to know about these, not to scare people, but to prepare them to take action against high cholesterol before it leads to heart disease.
Some of the symptoms or characteristics of a familial lipid disorder can be determined through routine physicals and blood tests. If you have extremely high cholesterol levels with readings over 300 or a family history of high cholesterol, you may be a candidate for other familial lipid disorders. Another trend to watch for is if you have immediate family members -- parents, grandparents or siblings -- who have early coronary heart disease, your chances of an inherited lipid disorder are greater.
You do not have to simply accept the diagnosis of a lipid disorder; you can do something to reduce cholesterol and lessen your chances of developing heart disease. Natural treatments that involve a good diet, exercise, and supplementing these with the right herbs, vitamins and minerals can eliminate the need for prescription medications to reduce cholesterol.
