Not all cholesterol is bad for you

When you do consume cholesterol it gets sent through the liver and either gets eliminated or passes through into your bloodstream.

If it's bad cholesterol it is attached to your blood as low-density lipoproteins. LDL's cause the blood to appear heavy because of excess fat. HDL's are the good cholesterol. High-density lipoproteins help with the bad ones by adhering to the low-density lipoproteins in the bloodstream and together returning it to the liver to pass through for elimination. The higher HDL's you consume the more it can work to eliminate the LDL's through this process. So it makes sense that the more LDL's a person consumes will lead to a person to become fat. Then there are VLDL's, which are very low-density lipoproteins. These are a relative to the LDL's, but worse. They are worse because HDL's cannot help them. They are so small that they deposit themselves inside the walls of your arteries as plaque. When they do this they cause your arteries to become narrow and cause the blood flow to become blocked. Now you are at risk for heart diseases.

Health problems that arise from this type of cholesterol can cause problems like angina, heart attack, congestive heart failure, stroke, impotence, and high blood pressure. Lowering the blood cholesterol can have a huge impact on ones cholesterol levels. It can lower the bad cholesterol considerably just by eating less fast foods and snack cakes.

Exercising more and eating foods like fish and fruit can considerably lower LDL's and VLDL's in the bloodstream. Another great way to lower a high cholesterol diet is to supplement it with not only vitamins, but with Omega-3's this will help so much. Something most people do not know that might even be better than Omega-3's is vitamin E. It has one of the greatest protections of high cholesterol because it speeds down the breakdown of LDL's to make the HDL's increase at the same time.

According to Alan Gaby, M.D., this may be the key to the future of high LDL's, just take vitamin E.
