Normally, men develop heart disease due to an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, but women do not develop heart disease because the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) changes instead of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Furthermore, the incidence of heart disease caused by genetic factors is only two per cent. Therefore, the incidence of heart disease is low.
Generally, heart disease is caused by eating too much fatty
foods, but in women, hormones secreted by the endocrine glands control the level
of disease caused by fatty proteins in the blood. This has been confirmed by
medical studies conducted on female monkeys.
For example, medical scientists say that feeding a high-fat
diet to hysterectomized monkeys causes cholesterol buildup, but not in intact
monkeys.
Heart attacks caused by obesity occur in both men and women.
That is, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are high and high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol is broken down.
The risk of heart disease increases as a result, and this can
be addressed by exercising. During exercise, the level of high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol increases and is beneficial.
The increase in blood cholesterol levels due to alcohol and
fatty food products, and genetic factors occurs in both men and women in the
same way. However, there are other reasons besides this for women that reduce
the impact of this disease. Generally, the hormone estrogen prevents fat from
increasing in women.
The hormones secreted in women's bodies prevent them from
developing heart disease. It is the secretion of these hormones that protects
the body from increasing fat levels.
