The Good Cholesterol

Cholesterol is almost insoluble in blood and it is down to the lipoproteins to carry it to and from the cells in order to vacate the blood. Lipoproteins are of two types.

1. High-density lipoprotein or Good Cholesterol
2. Low-density lipoprotein or Bad Cholesterol

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 allocates the lipoprotein away from arteries and deposit it to liver. The structure of high-density lipoprotein tends to give the flexibility and the rigidness to maneuver the deposit which is a left over by lipoprotein. We all know the function of liver and this makes it a perfect dumping ground for all such lipoproteins which is definitely harmful for our body.

This is chief reason why HDL is denoted as the Good Cholesterol. Hence, make sure that you use HDL version of the family whenever you have an oily dish
