Can stress raise cholesterol level, for long-term?
Doctors have known for some time that stress could increase cholesterol levels in the short-term but new research from University College London shows that for those people affected the increase is longer-lasting. In other words, if your cholesterol levels respond to stress, and not everyone's do, the risks involved could last longer than you might imagine. Stress management has been shown to lower levels of the stress hormones cortisol and epinephrine. So if one is a heart patient, he should try to remain calm, stress-free and happy.
