Lower cholesterol/BP: ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease), is the leading cause of death in the developed world. It is related to a sedentary western lifestyle which includes exposure to stress, high blood pressure and a diet rich in processed sugars and saturated fats. Genetics also plays a big role. Diabetes and kidney failure make it worse. Avoid red meats and keep fit + maybe a statin if choles is hi.
