Any high cholesterol symptoms you may experience are generally those of a medical condition caused by high cholesterol rather than cholesterol itself as it has hardly any symptoms at all.

The only tell-tale signs are yellow patches around the eyelids which are hard to spot. As it has few symptoms itself, the best advice is to have a test done every five years if you are over thirty.

As I said, the symptoms you will experience can be from the results of blocked arteries like chest pain, and can lead to a heart attack or stroke if left untreated.

It is essential to maintain healthy cholesterol levels to keep you healthy and apart from regular testing there are a number of ways to stay healthy.

Cutting down on fatty foods like dairy, red meat, pastries, butter and increasing your intake of fruit and veggies, nuts, oatmeal and fatty fish like salmon can help.

Regular exercise is also very beneficial at lowering your bad or LDL levels and raising your good or HDL ones. If you can raise your heartbeat for at least thirty minutes, four times a week, it will have a significant impact. This can be in the form of a brisk walk too!

If you want to fast track yourself to safe and balanced levels then a natural supplement with proven ingredients can help.

Policosanol from sugar cane, Phytosterols from plants, Theaflavins from green tea and Ric Bran oil will all combine synergistically to balance your cholesterol levels and help you to maintain optimal health.

Prevention is always, always better than a cure and if you follow these simple tips you can help to avoid premature and deadly diseases that seems to affect more and more people today.

This way you hopefully won’t have to deal with any high cholesterol symptoms and can live a longer and healthier life.

Recently I was having a discussion with my friend (Tyler) who believes there is simply no reason to cut back on high cholesterol foods such as butter, sausage, duck, and gravy until he sees symptoms of high cholesterol. He is determined to live life to the fullest and eating high saturated fat foods are part of his recipe for having fun. What makes Tyler’s attitude even more troubling is that he has a family history or coronary artery disease. Nevertheless, one of the questions he always asks me is what are the symptoms of high cholesterol, and if there are no symptoms why should I waste my time worrying about it.

It is easy to see his point, and in many ways Tyler’s attitude is why high cholesterol related diseases such as coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease and stroke continue to be such serious health concerns. To drive home the point let’s look at a couple of numbers: an estimated 7,570,000 will die of heart disease this year with an additional 5,740,000 estimated to die of stroke. And these staggering numbers don’t include those whose lives have been seriously impaired because of disability after having a heart attack and stroke.

The truth of the matter is that there really aren’t any symptoms of high cholesterol. Once in a while, when levels are particularly high, fat is deposited in the skin and tendons and forms bumps, called xanthomas. Very high triglyceride (a type of fat found in the blood) can cause the spleen or liver to enlarge and may develop the risk of pancreatitis. So very few real symptoms of high cholesterol occur until after the fact. This leads us to our next point. Since there are basically no symptoms of high cholesterol, and high LDL (bad cholesterol) is a major contributing factor to potentially deadly heart attack or stroke, then prevention along with regular testing appears to be the best defense.

In this regard what we eat and drink play an important role in controlling one’s cholesterol. Taking forward thinking steps such as maintaining a heart healthy diet, implementing a well thought out exercise program tailored to your specific needs, and avoiding tobacco altogether should be considered, especially if there is a history of coronary artery disease in your family. If the above steps fail to do the trick then other options should be considered, including cholesterol lowering medications or natural cholesterol remedies.

In summary, there are very few symptoms of high cholesterol and even those don’t tell us whether a heart attack or stroke is headed our way. Nevertheless, a simple blood test can provide important clues allowing us to make lifestyle adjustment earlier rather than later.
