Dangers of low cholesterol in women

Every indicator in the human body has a normal range of values. If it exceeds or is lower than this range, it means that there is a problem with the body. Abnormal indicators will lead to many diseases. Cholesterol is a substance in the human body that can effectively maintain the stable performance of human cells. People with low cholesterol levels often suffer from depression. Let’s take a look at the dangers of low cholesterol.

1. Susceptibility to depression

If the elderly suffer from depression, it is actually directly related to low cholesterol. Low cholesterol often leads to faster reuptake of serotonin. Serotonin can significantly affect the function of the central nervous system, so it will directly lead to or accelerate the occurrence of depression.

2. Cause cerebral hemorrhage

Cholesterol is an important component of cell membranes and can effectively maintain cell stability. If the level is too low, it will also lead to weakened cell membrane stability, reduced cell membrane elasticity and increased blood vessel wall fragility. The blood vessels will lack peripheral tissue support and have a lower ability to resist changes in blood pressure. When the blood pressure suddenly rises, the blood vessels will easily rupture and bleed, resulting in cerebral hemorrhage. If the cholesterol level in the blood of elderly women is relatively low, the mortality rate will increase significantly.

3. Affects intellectual development

If a child lacks cholesterol in childhood, his or her intellectual development will be affected. In addition to causing refractory anemia, people who eat a low-cholesterol diet for a long time during adolescence are more likely to suffer from hemorrhagic stroke.

In short, cholesterol is an indispensable nutrient for the human body. Many people now pay special attention to healthy diet. Too high cholesterol can cause damage to human health, and too low cholesterol can also cause serious harm. So everyone must pay attention to this issue and ensure a reasonable diet. If you find that you have a problem with your cholesterol, you need to respond in a timely manner.
