Among our tips, therefore, we suggest one proper nutrition can to counteract this disease. And, thus recommending a complete cyclical check-up, we tell you that if you have recurring burning in the toes then perhaps it is appropriate to speed up this type of control.
In fact, burning in the toes is certainly not an encouraging sign. It could be a warning that our body lights up for warn us about our blood cholesterol level.
Beware of cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fat found in the blood which is largely produced by the body, while a small part is introduced through the diet. There is no lower limit: the lower the better. Between 150 and 200 mg / dl is considered an acceptable value. Values between 200 and 240 mg / dl are associated with an increased risk of developing coronary heart disease. Values above 240 mg / dl are at high risk.
As mentioned, a high presence of cholesterol in the blood is often associated withonset of heart problems. Although recent studies question this belief somewhat.
This is supported by a study published in the Journal of American Medical Association Internal Medicine, conducted by the scientists of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) University of Medicine and Health Sciences, the University of New Mexico, the Institute for Scientific Freedom in Denmark and Bond University in Australia.
In this study it is highlighted a link between high cholesterol and heart disease. These findings, the authors point out, could disprove the use of prescribed statins to lower LDL-C levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Commonly prescribed by specialists, statins are given to one third of Irish adults over the age of 50.
Regardless of all this, however, we reiterate the need to have cyclical checks with doctors to keep these values at bay. And watch out for burning toes!
