Doctor Legg: stress can lead to excess “bad” cholesterol, dangerous for humans
Doctor Timothy Legg warned of an unexpected factor that increases the level of “harmful” cholesterol in the human body. The Daily Express writes about this.
According to him, stress can trigger complex processes in the human body. So, when a person is nervous, the hormone cortisol and adrenaline are released, which leads to the release of triglyceride fats, the expert explained. He noted that these fats are the main source of energy for the body, but their excess leads to the formation of “bad” cholesterol, which is dangerous for humans.
Previously, nutritionist Tatyana Bukina named foods that should be avoided for consumption and which are worth paying attention to for people with high cholesterol levels in the body. She noted that contrary to common misconceptions, cholesterol is found not only in the human body, but also in food: in the liver, brains, kidneys, meat, whole milk and other foods.
