According to doctors, a healthy HDL cholesterol level should be a minimum of 40 mg/dL and a healthy LDL cholesterol level should be a maximum of 200mg/dL.

All about Cholesterol part-one

All about Cholesterol part-oneCholesterol, no matter good or bad, is figured as an enemy of your heart and the root cause of many heart diseases. But, this is a sheer misconception.  How many of you know that Cholesterol in your diet is not directly linked to the heart diseases? Bad fats in your diet are the real culprits. They indeed increase risk of certain diseases. On the other hand, good fats reduce the risk of heart problems.

What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver. Cholesterol is needed to make vitamin D and some hormones, build cell walls, and create bile salts that help you digest fat.

Blood Cholesterol:
Heart disease are caused when the level of Cholesterols are high in the blood.  Too much cholesterol in the blood can result to it building inside arteries. These deposits are called plaque. Over time, plaque causes the arteries to become narrower, decreasing blood flow and causing a condition called atherosclerosis (pronounced: ah-thuh-ro-skluh-ro-sis), or hardening of the arteries.

Low Density Lipoprotein- the bad Cholesterol:
LDL carry cholesterol from liver into the blood to supply the body so when LDL is in excess, it can be deposited on arteries. Hence LDL cholesterol is called bad cholesterol.

High Density Lipoprotein- the good Cholesterol:
HDL carry cholesterol from the blood back to the liver which processes cholesterol for elimination from the body. So, high HDL reduces the chance of excess cholesterol in the blood being deposited on arteries. Hence, HDL is called the good cholesterol.

Cholesterol and Fat:
Mono saturated fats found in olive oil, peanut oil, cashew nuts, peanuts, almonds, avocados lower the LDL and escalate the HDL. Hence, they are good sources of fat.

Meanwhile, poly unsaturated fats found in corn, safflower, cotton seed oil and fish lower LDL as well as raise HDL. Hence, they are excellent sources of fat.

The not-so-recommended saturated fat found in full cream milk, cheese, butter, red meat, chocolate, coconut milk, coconut raise both LDL and HDL. So, they are not really good sources of fat.
