Olive oil contains 77% unsated fat acid that diminish cholesterol, and that is "bad" cholesterol, the so-called LDL cholesterol, and it protects the good one - the HDL cholesterol. Fat is a very important food in the human diet because it contains the essential vitamins - A, D, and K - and it is an excellent energy source for our organism.....

Increase diet in bad cholesterol and trans fats, you have it typic of people who eats too much unhealthy food or no good foods diet, can overload our body with the ability to regulate the levels.

Anyone whose want to use diet to increase good cholesterol levels would be considering taking step to raise up the HDL. Even if the total cholesterol and the cholesterol levels are range normal.

After a test results you see the quantity of stating that your triglycerides. You know that your triglycerides should be under are 130, do not ask if get it through 309 or more. You could have good cholesterol higher and than most and your bad cholesterol wost or not too bad.

Only a nutritious food will give you a good health for that a sound diet system should followed unless the body will not be fit. This is a digital nutrition scale which gives you detail view about Carbohydrate, Cholesterol, Protein, Fat and Kilocalorie.

Cholesterol is a lipid found in the cell membranes of all tissues, and it is transported in the blood plasma of all animals. Cholesterol is also considered a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol). Because cholesterol is synthesized by all eukaryotes, trace amounts of cholesterol are also found in membranes of plants and fungi.The name originates from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), and the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, as researchers first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones by François Poulletier de la Salle in 1769. However, it is only in 1815 that chemist Eugène Chevreul named the compound "cholesterine".Most of the cholesterol in the body is synthesized by the body and some has dietary origin. Cholesterol is more abundant in tissues which either synthesize more or have more abundant densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord and brain. It plays a central role in many biochemical processes, such as the composition of cell membranes and the synthesis of steroid hormones. Cholesterol is insoluble in blood, but is transported in the circulatory system bound to one of the varieties of lipoprotein, spherical particles which have an exterior composed mainly of water-soluble proteins. The main types, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) carry cholesterol from and to the liver, respectively.According to the lipid hypothesis, abnormally high cholesterol levels (hypercholesterolemia) and abnormal proportions of LDL and HDL are associated with cardiovascular disease by promoting atheroma development in arteries (atherosclerosis). This disease process leads to myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke and peripheral vascular disease. As high LDL contributes to this process, it is termed "bad cholesterol", while high levels of HDL ("good cholesterol") offer a degree of protection. The balance can be redressed with exercise, a healthy diet, and sometimes medication.
