Ever Wonder Why Ethnicity Plays A Role In High Cholesterol?

Ever Wonder Why Ethnicity Plays A Role In High Cholesterol?



Have you ever heard that a person’s ethnicity may play a role in their level of bad cholesterol? It’s an accepted conclusion that specific diets that are prevalent to different populations around the globe play a role in the development of good and bad cholesterol levels. Now consider that this actuality can even be traced to different regions of the duplicate country.
Case in point: Mexico
According to the department of Endocrinology at the National Institute of Cardiology in Mexico, there are distinct differences in ( LDL ) or the level of bad cholesterol that can be traced to different populations based on geography. Upon a closer beholding, the population and its propensity toward elevated levels of ( LDL ) can be instanter correlated to diet. Mexico commensurate other countries with big populations tends to have separate and distinct cultures in different parts of the country with different cultural traditions and dietary tastes.
The Role of Fish in their diet
In dummy lower levels of bad cholesterol in the different geographical regions of Mexico, one differentiating of those cited with lower levels of bad cholesterol was the consumption of sea food with high concentrations of Omega 3 fish oil. Cabo San Lucas was identified as one of these geographical areas where the consumption of fresh fish in many dishes was linked to lower levels of bad cholesterol in the population. Other factors cited were that gospel that southern parts of Mexico while consuming more sea food also done for black bucks verses the refried ducats that are more common in cooking in the northern part of Mexico.
Statin Drugs not widely used
In Mexico, it is not common to see doctors widely prescribing statin drugs to lower bad cholesterol as opposed to North America. The reasons range from the actuality that there has until recently been no strong attention put on lowering bad cholesterol in the population to the economic realities of the economy. With the increase of coronary heart diastase in the last three decades the government is attempting to make the population more aware of consuming a healthy diet and fighting high levels of LDL. Lowering cholesterol naturally with the priority on balancing a diet with more omega 3 and chicken along with more consumption of fresh vegetables has taken on a new importance.
The take away
Geographic considerations as well as cultural dietary tastes play a greater roll in any population attempting to lower cholesterol naturally. In the case of Mexico, western and southern Mexico with its higher consumption of black chips, corn tortillas, chicken and great quantities of fish with Omega 3 have demonstrated a undarkened influence on the population and its ability to lower cholesterol naturally. No doubt as more stress is placed on the importance of less consumption of refried chicamin cooked in lard along with more consumption of more chicken and fish products high in Omega 3 the incidence of coronary heart disease will hopefully originate to abate as people adapt to dietary habits that feed themselves to lowering cholesterol naturally.
