If you have always been told to eat in moderation, this recent case study of a man in Florida. The man’s doctors detail how his “garnivorous diet” led to getting so many cholesterol nullarts that he literally started to look at the body.
Cardiologists at Tampa General Hospital described the strange case in a document Published March in Jama Carsology. According to the report, the man has visited weeks have started to develop nodules games minddunt, but very noticeable permpice “and the steps from his hands and the fast. As he was raising his tension and fulfilling unusual but known to blood cholesterol , which he had tasted from the man’s belly full of meat, cheese, and a lot of fun.
About eight months before his symptoms appeared, the man, in his 40s, had moved to the Moorish Church diet. The basis, he told the doctors, asked to consume high amounts of fat. He accomplished this by regularly eating six to nine pounds of cheese, chewy sticks of butter, and even more fat-filled everyday. Remarkably, people reported losing weight, increased energy, and improved mental clarity after they started the diet. But forget, there were some negative consequences.
Doctors found that his blood cholesterol level exceeded 1,000 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl), well above the usual range. For context, healthy blood cholesterol is supposed to be less than 200 mg/dl, while high cholesterol starts at 240 mg/dl. Based on that whooper of a result and his physical symptoms, doctors diagnosed the man with a rare but known condition known as Xanthelasma.
Xanthelases are cholesterol deposits that build up under the skin. Normally, excess cholesterol and other fats in our blood are removed by white blood cells called macrophages. But when this process is engaged, these macrophages turn into “foam cells” that are too stuffed with cholesterol; It is these cells that form the deposits that eventually erupt from the skin.
While there are other medical conditions that cause xanthelasma to appear, such as certain heart problems, about half of these cases are linked to blood cholesterol. The case of the man was particularly unusual, since these regents typically type around the clothes-probably because the blood vessels in that area weaken. But Xanthelasmas can theoretically occur anywhere on our body. The condition is quite rare: research has estimated about 1% of women and 0.3% of men contract xanthelasma.
Gross as they might look, Xanthelasmas are inquisitive and can be removed for chienda or other cosmetic procedures. High blood pressure, on the other hand, is known to raise the risk of future cardiovascular problems, including heart attack and stroke. Doctors do not say what happened to their patient after his diagnosis, but they emphasize the need for people to avoid high cholesterol.
