Participating in the one day program “A New Day with Çağla” presented by Çağla Şıkel, Prof. Dr. Canan Karatay spoke remarkable words about the life expectancy of women with high cholesterol. Emphasizing the importance of cholesterol for life, Karatay said, “The body produces cholesterol.” Explaining why the flu cases increase in winter, Karatay said, “The reason for the increase in winter is not the cold. The virus cannot reproduce in the cold. It is not possible to say ‘I got a cold and got sick'”.
“NO GOOD, BAD CHOLESTEROL”
The “high cholesterol” statements that Karatay mentioned by specifically addressing women are as follows:
- Head trotter does not raise cholesterol. Without cholesterol, there is no life. There are also plants. There is no such thing as good cholesterol or bad cholesterol.
“I CAN SAY SOMETHING INTERESTING”
- Everybody needs it. I will say something interesting: Ladies with high cholesterol live longer, do not be afraid. He lives healthy, lives long. It’s looked after in women, I don’t know in men.
WHY THE FLU RISES IN WINTER! “REASON IS NOT COLD”
Karatay explained the protection recommendations against flu infections, which increase with the arrival of the winter months:
- Influenza viruses have been around for centuries. We say that the flu increased in winter. Why is it increasing? Closed places, not opening the windows, getting into each other in the crowd. The reason for the increase in winter is not cold. The virus does not reproduce in the cold. It is not “I have a cold and I am sick”.
“WASHING YOUR HAND IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY TO PROTECT FROM THE FLU”
- The most important way to protect against the flu, the virus does not die, the virus changes its envelope. The virus lives in living tissue. It is the hands that transmit the virus the most. Washing hands frequently, rinsing our mouth when we come from the street, when we come in and out of the crowd, when we come home, and not to put our hands on our faces and eyes.
