Tips for Seniors on Controlling Your Cholesterol
While high cholesterol is common in U.S. adults, it’s particularly dangerous for seniors. High Cholesterol in seniors is a risk factor for heart disease. High cholesterol usually shows no symptoms and can be referred to as a silent killer. A heart-healthy diet is essential for optimal senior living. Your assisted living community should recognize how largely diet influences cholesterol levels and be mindful of their menu offerings. MorningStar Senior Living offers simple and tasty changes in their menus to make a difference in seniors cholesterol levels and overall health.
Doctors explain that there are two types of cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, considered the “bad” cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein, known as “good” cholesterol. When you ingest foods that contain high in fat, deposits develop in your blood vessels. When these deposits grow, they can block blood flow to your arteries, sometimes causing a heart attack or stroke. A heart-healthy diet in senior living is essential.
