Hyperlipidemia

Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition characterized by high levels of lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, in the bloodstream. These fatty substances are essential for various bodily functions, but when their levels are excessively high, they can lead to serious health issues, including heart disease and stroke. Factors contributing to hyperlipidemia include poor diet, lack of exercise, genetics, and certain medical conditions. Managing hyperlipidemia typically involves lifestyle changes, such as healthier eating, regular physical activity, and sometimes medication prescribed by a healthcare provider to help lower lipid levels and reduce health risks.
