High cholesterol affects young, fit individuals despite healthy lifestyle
Alina Juravel, a young and fit woman, shared her experience with high LDL cholesterol levels, which reached 175 mg/dl in her late 20s despite a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise. This level significantly exceeded the medical guideline for women, which recommends a value below 116 mg/dl.
Juravel noted that her cholesterol levels eventually returned to the normal range without the use of statins, leading to questions regarding the potential role of Omega 3 supplements. Medical experts noted that high cholesterol is not exclusive to overweight individuals and can be caused by conditions such as familial hypercholesterolemia, which affects approximately one in 250 people.
