Hyperlipidemia is defined simply as high levels of fat and cholesterol in the blood. Our liver produces 80% of our body’s cholesterol and the other 20% comes from the food we eat. Cholesterol is found in food of animal origin, such as egg yolk, poultry, seafood, and whole-milk dairy products. Food of plant origin contains no cholesterol. Hyperlipidemia has no signs and no symptoms. The only way to diagnose is through a blood test. It is highly recommended that anyone older than 40 should get a yearly blood test to assess their lipid levels. If you want to know more about health screening, please click the link on the top right of your screen. When we say that you have hyperlipidemia, your blood report will show that you have high levels of total cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein ), and TG ( triglyceride ).
This table illustrates the classification of various lipid levels.
We should try to keep the total cholesterol less than 5.2 mmol/L, the LDL less than 3.4 mmol/L and HDL above 1mmol/L, and TG less than 2.3 mmol/L if you do not have any other diseases and cardiovascular risk factors,
If you have other risk factors such as hypertension and diabetes, established cardiovascular diseases like heart attacks and strokes, smoking and drinking, obesity and lack of exercise, chronic kidney disease or kidney failure, inherited familial hyperlipidemia, Then we will have to bring the levels of cholesterol and TG levels even lower.
Consult your family physician to find out more about your cholesterol levels and the treatment plan. It is highly individualized.
This table shows some levels of LDL that we aim to target patients in various risk groups.
So what’s the big deal about hyperlipidemia? 2017 Data from the ministry of health Singapore showed that 33% of our adult population in Singapore has hyperlipidemia! That’s almost 1 in 3 adults! That’s very very high.
Too much cholesterol in the blood causes a buildup of fatty deposits on the inside walls of the blood vessels ( known as atherosclerotic plaques ).
This results in blockage of blood vessels, causing blood flow through these blood vessels to decrease. When this happens in the heart coronary arteries, we get heart attacks. For more information about heart attacks - click on the link on the top right of your screen. When this happens to the arteries in the brain, the person will suffer a stroke. This risk increases when other risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle are also present in a person.

Natural remedy to hyperlipidemia
A healthy diet is crucial to the treatment of hyperlipidemia
Choose whole grains such as brown rice, oats, and wholegrain bread and noodles. Increase fruits and vegetable intake. Oats, barley, beans, and peas are good at reducing cholesterol. Cut down seafood and animal products like meat, skin, fat, innards, milk, and milk products. Go for lean poultry and fish ( like salmon, sardine, mackerel ). Choose mono-unsaturated oil for cooking and eating: olive, canola, and peanut oil are your top choices. Avoid deep-fried food. Avoid trans-fat: they are margarine, cookies, cake, and pastries.
Reduce obesity and increase the amount of exercise and physical activity.
Control your weight to keep your BMI less than 23kg/m2. Reducing weight will help to lower your total and LDL cholesterol and TG levels. Weight loss strategy involves reducing food intake and increasing physical activity.
As a general guide - aim for 30 minutes of physical activity a day for 5 days a week. It's perfectly alright to start 30minutes for two days a week and gradually build your way up. Don’t give up!
Managing stress
There is evidence that suggests a High level of stress can result in higher levels of TG and LDL and decreasing the levels of HDL or good cholesterol. The exact mechanism is not known yet but it may be due to higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol or that stress can adversely affect the immune system leading to inflammation.

Quit smoking and drinking:
Smoking cessation has clear benefits on overall cardiovascular disease risk and improving HDL cholesterol. Cutting down on heavy drinking can also reduce your TG levels.
