Lower LDL Cholesterol

Open any newspaper or health magazine and chances are you’ve seen cholesterol in the news.We are told that most of the things we love to eat, including butter, a juicy steak, or our favorite breakfast of bacon and eggs are bad for us. The truth is , we can eat healthier and still enjoy tasty foods without eating ourselves to poor health.

The Good and the Bad:

High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) – described as the “good” cholesterol because of its ability to help remove LDL from arteries .

Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL)- known as the bad cholesterol because of the blocking and damaging of our arteries which reduces blood flow.

All of this suggests that high LDL levels are unhealthy, and high HDL levels are optimal. Most people fail to realize that our bodies create enough cholesterol to remain healthy. Stress , minimal exercise , and a unhealthy diet are responsible for any extras.

By watching our diet , we can help control and change our cholesterol to healthy levels.
