Dr. Prince Nelson Mortoti, Chief Executive Officer of PIWAK Natural Health, has raised concerns about the prevalence of high cholesterol among Ghanaians, warning that it can lead to severe health complications if left unmanaged.
As the producer of 3P garlic mixture, Dr. Mortoti emphasized the importance of addressing high cholesterol, citing its potential to cause heart disease, heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.
High cholesterol can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, heart failure, arrhythmias, and cardiac arrest.
Dr. Mortoti noted that one of the most alarming aspects of high cholesterol is its ability to silently progress without noticeable symptoms, earning it the term “silent” condition.
To mitigate the risks associated with high cholesterol, Dr. Mortoti recommends a multifaceted approach:
-Dietary Changes: Focus on consuming fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to help lower cholesterol levels.
– Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week to contribute to overall cardiovascular health.
– Weight Management: Losing weight can help reduce cholesterol levels and alleviate pressure on the cardiovascular system.
– Monitoring Cholesterol Levels: Regular check-ups are crucial for early detection and management of high cholesterol.
– Supplementation: Dr. Mortoti suggests consuming 3P garlic mixture, which has been shown to have potential benefits in melting clotted blood and cleaning blood vessels.
Dr. Mortoti urges Ghanaians to take proactive steps in managing their cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of related health problems.
By making informed lifestyle choices and working closely with healthcare providers, individuals can effectively manage high cholesterol and protect their cardiovascular health.
