High Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a waxy fat that circulates in the bloodstream. We produce cholesterol naturally, but we can also absorb it from the food we eat. The body requires cholesterol to create healthy cells, but high cholesterol levels can lead to heart disease. As a result of high cholesterol, blood vessels can accumulate fatty deposits. Eventually, your arteries become restricted due to these deposits, which can rupture and result in clots, leading to heart attack or stroke.

Diabetes

Diabetes is a long-term illness affecting the way that food is converted into energy. Food provides your body with energy in the form of blood glucose. A hormone manufactured by the pancreas, insulin, is responsible for absorbing glucose into cells. Having diabetes means that your body either does not produce enough insulin or does not use the hormone efficiently. Insufficient insulin or cells no longer responding to insulin result in high blood sugar.

Hypertension

High blood pressure results from when the force of blood flow in your arteries is higher than it should be. This is also known as hypertension. The force of the heart's circulation determines the blood pressure on the walls of your arteries. When left untreated, high blood pressure can cause various health problems, such as heart disease, stroke, renal failure, vision loss, and others. Hypertension causes your heart to pump more blood and narrows your arteries.

Thyroid Disease

Thyroid disease refers to the failure of the thyroid to produce adequate amounts of hormones needed to regulate metabolism. Hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are the most common forms of thyroid disease, resulting in the production of too little or too much thyroid hormone, respectively. Other conditions affecting thyroid function may also lead to thyroid disease.
