E aʻo hou kākou e pili ana i ka cholesterol. He moʻolelo e pili ana i ka momona 'maikaʻi ʻole' i loko o kou koko!

Ua makaʻu iki mākou a pau i ka huaʻōlelo "cholesterol," ʻeā? Inā ʻōlelo kekahi, "ʻAuē, ua kiʻekiʻe iki koʻu cholesterol," manaʻo mākou he maʻi nui ia. Akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, he mea nui ka cholesterol no ko mākou kino. Kōkua kēia cholesterol 'maikaʻi' i ka hana ʻana i kekahi mau hormones a hana i nā mea e kōkua iā mākou e hoʻoheheʻe i ka meaʻai. Akā ʻo ka pilikia aia me ka cholesterol 'maikaʻi ʻole'. Kāhea mākou i kēia ʻo 'LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)'. ʻO kēia ka mea e hoʻonui ai i ka pilikia o nā maʻi koʻikoʻi e like me ka maʻi puʻuwai a me ka hahau. No laila, ke nānā ʻoe i kahi hōʻike koko, he mea nui loa ia e hoʻolohe i kēia mau waiwai a pau, ʻaʻole wale ka pae cholesterol holoʻokoʻa.

He aha ka mea e hana maoli ai i ka LDL, ka cholesterol 'maikaʻi ʻole'?

Hiki i ka cholesterol 'maikaʻi ʻole', a i ʻole LDL, ke hoʻoulu i nā pilikia olakino koʻikoʻi. E noʻonoʻo i kou mau kīʻaha koko e like me nā paipu e lawe ana i ka wai. He ʻano maʻamau kēia cholesterol LDL e kūkulu ana ma loko o nā paia o kēia mau kīʻaha koko. Ua like ia me ka lepo a me ka ʻōpala e kūkulu ana i loko o kahi paipu.

Ke hana ʻia kēia, hōʻiliʻili nā hunaola koko keʻokeʻo ma kēlā mau wahi a hoʻoulu i ka pehu iki a me ka mumū. I ka hala ʻana o ka manawa, hōʻiliʻili kēia momona a me nā hunaola i waiho ʻia a hana i kahi mea a mākou e kapa nei he 'Plaque'. Ulu mālie kēia 'plaque' a hoʻemi i ka hakahaka no ke koko e kahe i loko o ke kīʻaha koko. ʻO ia hoʻi, lilo ia i lua i loko o ka ʻōmole.

Pehea ʻoe e nānā ai i kou pae cholesterol?

E nānā kāu kauka i kou pae cholesterol me kahi hoʻāʻo koko maʻalahi. Kāhea pinepine mākou i kēia he 'Lipid Profile'. I kekahi manawa e noi ʻia paha ʻoe e hoʻokē ʻai no 10-12 mau hola ma mua o ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke koko. Akā, ʻaʻole pono kēia i nā manawa a pau.

E haʻi aku kēia hoʻāʻo koko iā ʻoe:

• Ka pae kolesterol holoʻokoʻa
• Nā pae o ka LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein), ka cholesterol 'maikaʻi ʻole'
• Nā pae o ka HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein), ka cholesterol 'maikaʻi'
• ʻO ka pae o kekahi ʻano momona i loko o ke koko i kapa ʻia ʻo triglycerides

Ua ana ʻia kēia mau mea a pau. E nānā hou kāu kauka i kēia hōʻike a wehewehe pono iā ʻoe pehea e pili ai kēia mau waiwai i kou olakino a me ko lākou manaʻo.

Nā ala maikaʻi e kāohi ai i ka cholesterol 'maikaʻi ʻole'

ʻElua ala nui e kāohi ai i nā pae cholesterol LDL. ʻO kekahiNā loli o ke ʻano o ka nohona. ʻO kekahi ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau . ʻO ka mea nui e hoʻomanaʻo ai, ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kekahi mea hou, inā he hana hoʻoikaika kino hou a i ʻole kahi papaʻai hou, pono ʻoe e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka .

Aia ma ka papa ma lalo nei kekahi mau hana maʻalahi a olakino hoʻi hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō.

Inā ʻike kāu kauka ua kiʻekiʻe mau kou pae cholesterol LDL ʻoiai kēia mau loli o ke ʻano o ka nohona, hiki iā ia ke kuhikuhi i kahi lāʻau i kapa ʻia he statin. I kekahi manawa hiki i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ʻē aʻe ke kōkua.

No ke aha i emi ʻole ai ka cholesterol o kekahi poʻe?

Aia paha kekahi mau kumu no kēia.

• ʻAʻole ʻae i kāu pilikia cholesterol: ʻO ka noʻonoʻo ʻana, "ʻĀ ... pēlā wale nō ia" kekahi o nā kumu nui ʻaʻole hana ka poʻe i nā hoʻololi ola e pono ai.
• ʻAʻole lawe pono i ka lāʻau lapaʻau: ʻAʻole lawe i ka lāʻau lapaʻau i ka manawa kūpono, e like me ke kauoha a ke kauka.
• Ke hoʻōki ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau ke loaʻa nā hopena ʻaoʻao: I kekahi manawa hiki i nā lāʻau lapaʻau ke hana i nā hopena ʻaoʻao liʻiliʻi. Ke hana ʻia kēia, he mea nui e kamaʻilio koke me kāu kauka a kūkākūkā i nā koho ʻē aʻe, ma mua o ka hoʻōki ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau ma kāu iho.
• ʻAi pinepine ʻia i ka meaʻai wikiwiki: ʻAi pinepine ʻana i waho, ʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai kiʻekiʻe i ka ʻaila, ke kō, a me ka paʻakai.
• Noho ma kahi hoʻokahi me ka hoʻoikaika kino ʻole.

Malia paha he mea hanauna kēia.

E noʻonoʻo, ʻoiai pehea kou akahele i kāu mea e ʻai ai a inu ai, ʻoiai pehea ka nui o kāu hoʻoikaika kino, ʻaʻole e iho kāu cholesterol. Malia paha ʻaʻole na ʻoe ia hewa. He maʻi genetic paha ia e holo ana i loko o nā ʻohana.

Ua kapa mākou i kēia ma ke ʻano lapaʻau he "Familial Hypercholesterolemia." ʻAʻole kēia he mea kakaikahi e like me kou manaʻo. Ma ka awelika, ma kahi o hoʻokahi i loko o 250 mau kānaka e loaʻa paha kēia maʻi.

Hoʻokumu ʻia kēia e kahi gene i hoʻololi ʻia i hoʻoili ʻia mai ka ʻohana a i ka ʻohana. Hoʻemi kēia gene i ka hiki o ke kino ke wehe i ka cholesterol LDL mai ke koko. Hiki i kēia ke hana i nā pae LDL e ʻelua paha ke kiʻekiʻe ma mua o ka maʻamau. ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, hiki i nā kauka ke ʻike i kēia maʻi i ka wā mua loa . I kekahi manawa hiki ke ʻike ʻia i ka wā hānau a i ʻole i ka wā kamaliʻi.

ʻOiai hiki i nā loli o ke ʻano o ka nohona, e like me ka ʻai pono ʻana a me ka hoʻoikaika kino ʻana, ke kōkua nui i kēia poʻe, pono paha ka lāʻau lapaʻau e hōʻemi i ka pilikia o ka maʻi puʻuwai.
