About 80% of cholesterol is produced in the bloodstream by your liver and transported throughout the body with the help of lipoproteins. The remaining 20% of cholesterol comes from dietary sources, such as dairy products, eggs, meat, and fish.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some vital functions of cholesterol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Maintaining the fluidity and integrity of cell membranes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Being the precursor of steroid hormones.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Playing a pivotal role in helping your body synthesize <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/vitamin-d\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vitamin D<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Being a component of bile acids for the digestion of fatty foods [1].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to women, men tend to have higher unhealthy cholesterol levels throughout their life, and these cholesterol levels increase as they age. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/normal-cholesterol-levels-for-women\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cholesterol levels in women<\/a> often increase when they enter menopause.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-types-of-cholesterol\">Types Of Cholesterol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Total cholesterol levels in your body represent the overall amount of cholesterol present in the bloodstream. Cholesterol cannot travel through the bloodstream on its own. Instead, it is transported with the help of lipoproteins (lipo = fat) that are produced by your hepatic tissues (liver).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of cholesterol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-low-density-lipoprotein-ldl\">1. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>LDL lipoprotein carries LDL cholesterol, also called \u201cbad or lousy\u201d cholesterol. High amounts of LDL cholesterol in the blood may cause plaque build-up in heart arteries, resulting in restricted blood flow to the heart.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High LDL cholesterol levels increase your risk of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/signs-of-stroke-in-men\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stroke<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/heart-attack-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">heart attack<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/coronary-artery-disease\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coronary artery disease<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-high-density-lipoprotein-hdl\">2. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>High-density lipoproteins are made up of low cholesterol levels and higher protein levels. Therefore, these are known as \u201cgood or happy\u201d cholesterol.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>HDL cholesterol helps the body remove bad cholesterol (LDL). If the HDL ratio is higher than the LDL, you\u2019re at a lower risk of heart disease and stroke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-triglycerides\">3. Triglycerides<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Total cholesterol also includes another type of fat, called triglyceride. Triglycerides are considered the \u201cbuilding blocks\u201d of cholesterol.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>High triglyceride levels and low HDL cholesterol can also contribute to plaque build-up in arteries, raising your risk for cardiovascular diseases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-normal-cholesterol-levels-for-men-by-age\">Normal Cholesterol Levels For Men By Age<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Normal cholesterol levels for men vary by age. Your cholesterol level is measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg\/dL). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The measurement of total cholesterol level is a combination of LDL and HDL cholesterol. Since LDL is the \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol and HDL is the \u201cgood\u201d cholesterol, keeping your LDL levels low and HDL levels high is the goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table represents recommended cholesterol levels for men younger and older than 20 years old:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-1024x567.jpg\" alt=\"normal cholesterol levels for men\" class=\"wp-image-36124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-1024x567.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-768x425.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-1536x850.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-2048x1134.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Normal-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-1-1-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The following table also represents borderline and high cholesterol levels for men according to their age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"844\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-1024x844.jpg\" alt=\"borderline and high cholesterol levels for men\" class=\"wp-image-36130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-1024x844.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-768x633.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-1536x1266.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-2048x1688.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Borderline-and-High-Cholesterol-Levels-for-Men-2-min-scaled.jpg 2560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-complications-of-high-cholesterol\">Complications Of High Cholesterol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), there are no visible signs and symptoms of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/high-cholesterol-symptoms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high cholesterol levels<\/a>. When your cholesterol levels remain high for an extended period, your blood vessels are at an increased risk of being clogged with fat deposits. A sudden break\/rupture in these deposits can result in a stroke or heart attack.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are some health complications that may occur due to high cholesterol:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-coronary-artery-disease\">1. Coronary Artery Disease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If left untreated, high cholesterol levels facilitate accumulation in arteries. Over time, the plaque build-up restricts blood flow and causes the hardening of the arteries, leading to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/atherosclerosis\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">atherosclerosis<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reduced blood supply to the heart can result in heart attack (if a blood vessel gets completely blocked) or chest pain, called angina [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-stroke\">2. Stroke<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over time, cholesterol plaque builds up in your arteries and also narrows or blocks blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the brain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete blockage of the blood vessels that lead to the brain results in a stroke because of the reduced supply of oxygenated blood to the brain [3].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-hypertension\">3. Hypertension<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When heart blood vessels are narrowed due to plaque build-up, the heart has to pump harder and exert greater force to distribute blood throughout the body. As a result, blood pressure becomes abnormally elevated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-peripheral-arterial-disease\">4. Peripheral Arterial Disease<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PAD refers to blood vessel diseases in other areas than the heart and brain. High cholesterol levels cause plaque build-up in blood vessels that mainly lead to legs and feet, leading to poor blood circulation (PAD). The blood vessels leading to the kidneys may also be affected [4].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-type-2-diabetes\">5. Type 2 Diabetes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The balance between HDL and LDL cholesterol is disrupted when you have <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/type-2-diabetes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">type 2 diabetes<\/a>. People with type 2 diabetes tend to have higher LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels that may damage blood vessels more easily, increasing the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-to-see-a-doctor\">When To See A Doctor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since high cholesterol has no apparent symptoms, regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels is crucial.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Men over 20 years old are recommended to get their cholesterol levels tested every 4 to 6 years. However, you should go for more frequent screening tests and visits to your doctor if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your cholesterol levels go back to borderline or high levels even after treatment.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You have a family history of high cholesterol.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You\u2019re obese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You smoke.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You have <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/diabetes-health\/hypertension\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">high blood pressure<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-lower-your-cholesterol-levels-naturally\">How To Lower Your Cholesterol Levels Naturally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving your cholesterol levels naturally requires certain lifestyle modifications. The following ways can help you lower your cholesterol levels naturally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-eat-a-heart-healthy-diet\">1. Eat A Heart-Healthy Diet<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/general-health\/heart-healthy-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Heart-healthy eating<\/a> involves eating more polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids) and avoiding trans fats.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Packaged foods and fatty meats often contain trans fats that are harmful to your heart. You should also add more soluble fiber to your diet to maintain your HDL cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-exercise-regularly\">2. Exercise Regularly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In one <a href=\"https:\/\/europepmc.org\/article\/med\/26005814\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">study<\/a> of 40 adult women, a 12-week resistance training plan was suggested for participants. Those participants who followed the plan increased HDL cholesterol and reduced total cholesterol [5].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, incorporate exercises like jogging, walking, lightweight lifts, and cycling to keep your cholesterol levels in check.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-quit-smoking\">3. Quit smoking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Smoking speeds up the build-up of plaque in blood vessels. Tobacco tar present in cigarettes affects the immune cells, and as a result, they become inefficient in transporting cholesterol from vessels to the blood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dysfunction of these immune cells thus increases the risks of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Passive smoking is also harmful; therefore, non-smokers should also avoid cigarette smoke.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-maintain-a-healthy-weight\">4. Maintain A Healthy Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Being overweight and obese has been linked with high LDL and low HDL cholesterol levels. Losing about 5-10% of your body weight can maintain optimal cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-limit-alcohol-intake\">5. Limit Alcohol Intake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the American Heart Association (AHA), drinking alcohol in moderation (two drinks per day for men) can also improve cholesterol levels. Drinking too much alcohol can abnormally increase triglycerides in your bloodstream, leading to conditions like atrial fibrillation and hypertension.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Maintaining <\/strong><strong>Normal Cholesterol Levels for Men<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While cholesterol levels tend to rise with age, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help lower cholesterol naturally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are unsure if you have normal cholesterol levels, you should visit your doctor to be tested. Blood tests and frequent screening of cholesterol levels are essential for men above 20 years of age.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should be extra cautious about maintaining healthy cholesterol levels if you have a risk\/family history of developing heart disease. Many people are unaware of their blood cholesterol profile until they experience consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Explore More<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/can-less-cholesterol-shrink-prostate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Research-suggests-lowering-cholesterol-can-reduce-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia-1-1024x256.jpg\" alt=\"shrink prostate\" class=\"wp-image-27246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Research-suggests-lowering-cholesterol-can-reduce-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia-1-1024x256.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Research-suggests-lowering-cholesterol-can-reduce-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia-1-300x75.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Research-suggests-lowering-cholesterol-can-reduce-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia-1-768x192.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Research-suggests-lowering-cholesterol-can-reduce-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia-1-1536x384.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bensnaturalhealth.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Research-suggests-lowering-cholesterol-can-reduce-benign-prostatic-hyperplasia-1.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bensnaturalhealth.com\/can-less-cholesterol-shrink-prostate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Can Lowering Cholesterol Shrink the Prostate?<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Did you know that unhealthy cholesterol levels can drastically increase your risk for heart disease, hypertension, and stroke?&nbsp; The right amount of cholesterol is essential for your body to build up healthy cells and metabolize vitamins and hormones.
