LDL-Cholesterin
Der Biomarker LDL-Cholesterin ist ein wichtiger Indikator für das Risiko von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Ein hoher LDL-Cholesterinspiegel kann zu Arteriosklerose führen, was wiederum das Risiko für Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall erhöht. Es ist daher wichtig, den LDL-Cholesterinspiegel regelmäßig zu überwachen und bei Bedarf durch eine gesunde Ernährung, regelmäßige Bewegung und gegebenenfalls medikamentöse Therapie zu senken.
HDL- Cholesterin
HDL-Cholesterin, auch bekannt als gutes Cholesterin, ist ein wichtiger Biomarker für die Gesundheit des Herzens. Ein hoher HDL-Spiegel im Blut ist mit einem geringeren Risiko für Herzkrankheiten verbunden, da es hilft, überschüssiges Cholesterin aus den Arterien zu entfernen. Eine gesunde Lebensweise mit regelmäßiger körperlicher Aktivität und einer ausgewogenen Ernährung kann dazu beitragen, den HDL-Spiegel zu erhöhen und das Risiko für Herzkrankheiten zu verringern.
Cholesterin
Cholesterin ist ein wichtiger Biomarker für das Risiko von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Ein hoher Cholesterin-Wert kann auf eine erhöhte Ablagerung von Cholesterin in den Arterien hinweisen, was zu Arteriosklerose und anderen Herzproblemen führen kann. Es ist wichtig, den Cholesterin-Wert regelmäßig zu überwachen und durch eine gesunde Ernährung und regelmäßige körperliche Aktivität zu kontrollieren.
Triglyceride
Triglyceride sind eine Art von Fettmolekülen, die im Körper als Energiereserve gespeichert werden. Ein hoher Triglyceridspiegel im Blut kann auf ein erhöhtes Risiko für Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen hinweisen. Daher ist die regelmäßige Überwachung dieses Biomarkers wichtig, um das Risiko von Herzinfarkt und Schlaganfall zu reduzieren.

After never being able to bring myself to make an appointment with my doctor, I finally checked my HbA1c level with Probatix.
