Horace: In the midst of hopes and cares, of apprehensions and of disquietude, regard every day that dawns upon you as if it was to be your last then super-added hours, to the enjoyment of which you had not looked forward, will prove an acceptable boon.
High cholesterol, also called hypercholesteremia, puts men at greater risk for heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. For many men, the risk from high cholesterol starts in their 20s and increases with age. High cholesterol tends to run in families, so obviously genes play a role.
The Problem Isnât Cholesterol â¦ Itâs the WRONG KIND â and OXIDATION â of Cholesterol. Cholesterol Itself Isnât the Problem. While doctors have assumed for decades that high cholesterol causes heart disease and other health problems â and that lowering cholesterol is the way to fight disease â they have apparently missed the boat.
