Health - Good and Bad Cholesterol
Good and bad cholesterol
For at least the last ten years there has been a public outcry
that cholesterol is bad for you. However new studies and
information proves that cholesterol in certain forms can
actually be beneficial and necessary to a person.
There are two types of cholesterol HDL and LDL. HDL stands for
High Density Lipoproteins, LDL stands for Low Density
Lipoprotein. Most doctors recommend that we try to maintain low
levels of LDL. Many doctors and nutritionist have advised the
public to stay away from fats, saturated fats and oils. LDL is
also high in certain types of meat such as red meat which has
received flack from nutritional experts in the past.
However many people are now talking about HDL and how HDL is
actually good for you. HDL actually helps clear away LDL from
your arteries that transport blood and other materials to the
heart and throughout the body. HDL is many foods such as fish,
nuts and certain oils. HDL is also produced in our livers. Many
doctors and nutritionists are now publicizing that HDL is
necessary and effective to treat certain types of heart
conditions.
If you would like to know more about how HDL can help your
health, contact a physician or dietician.
