Signs of high bad cholesterol... Three warning colors may appear in the eyes!
High blood cholesterol is one of the main causes of heart attacks and strokes, which kills thousands annually in various countries of the world, and in many cases the condition goes unnoticed because there are no clear symptoms that determine the disease except for a blood test, however there are some signs Warning for high cholesterol, including three colors that may appear in the eyes.
According to a report by the British newspaper "Express", high cholesterol is a malignant condition characterized by abnormally high levels of fatty molecules in the blood.
The lipids in the blood are carried by proteins that are gradually deposited on the walls of the arteries, and the blood vessels leading to the eyes can sometimes be affected, causing slight disturbances in vision.
Occasionally, white, gray and yellow deposits may appear around the cornea, and high cholesterol can cause the delicate blood vessels in the eye to weaken and thin over time, which can have serious repercussions for eye health.
One of the first signs that high cholesterol is harming your eyes is blurred vision, and fatty deposits may also be visible around the cornea.
White, gray and yellow deposits form at the outer edge of the cornea, which is the clear outer layer at the front of the eye, and optometrist Dr. Bishop explains to "Express" that the deposits only appear once fatty particles begin to accumulate inside the eye.
The doctor added, "A good diet and exercise reduce the fat that can threaten your eye. There is less fat in the bloodstream, which reduces pressure and reduces the possibility of a clot."
The doctor points out that a healthy diet will increase the health of your eyes. Vegetables contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin that promote eye health, and vitamin C and vitamin E help your eyes stay fresh and healthy.
