Affect of Alcohol on Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a wax-like metabolic steroid in cell membrane which flows throughout the blood plasma of every animal. Cholesterols are of different types. Significantly, only two of them HDL and LDL are known to used in the edible oil we use.

Alcohol has a huge impact on alcohol level. Moderate drinking affects the ratio of HDL and LDL. It is a renowned fact that moderate drinking, which is six to seven drinks a week increases the amount of Good cholesterol or HDL whereas it reduces the concentration of LDL. Yet, the type and size of alcohol may change the whole theory. A study reportedly showed that a high level of low-density cholesterol in the blood languidly sticks to the walls of arteries and if the sticky solution piles up then it becomes and inhibitor which contracts the arteries. Arteries are the blood vessel which is accountable for feeding the brain and heart. So, if the LDL deposit is increased then there is a huge problem.

HDL on the other hand has an opposite impact on the human circulatory system. Medical experts have confirmed with their study that high level of HDL in blood acts as a heart attack inhibitor whereas low amount of HDL in the blood increases the chances of heart diseases. A chemical experiment recently showcased that HDL cholesterol allocates the lipoprotein away from arteries and deposit it to liver. The structure of high-density cholesterol tends to give the flexibility and the rigidness to maneuver the deposit which is a left over by lipoprotein
