Is hypercholesterolemia genetic?
Only one in 500 people has the genetic defect causing “congenital” hypercholesterolemia. So, only 2% of us truly have an excuse or an alibi to have high serum cholesterol level, and yet most of us have abnormally elevated cholesterol. There is no question, we are abusing ourselves. The 499 of us are obviously eating, smoking, not exercising, and drinking ourselves to a death. In the United States alone, one person dies every single minute from heart attack. How can we maintain thinner blood? The avoidance of the unhealthy habits we have enumerated above keeps our blood with a normal consistency for homeostasis (good natural balance). Other activities that can keep our blood thinner include doing things that make us happy, like in doing a good job at work, reading good books, singing, dancing, laughing, being with friends, taking vacations, doing charity works or helping others, developing a healthy habit of always thinking positively and appreciating the many blessings God has provided
