subject: When Vldl Cholesterol Rises, Things Can Turn Bad [print this page] There are a lot of cholesterols in our bodies, VLDL cholesterol is just one of them. These are all essentials to the body yet when their numbers increase in our system things can turn bad, except when talking HDLs. When people read about cholesterols, they immediately think of two: the good and the bad. Well, for the layman, the HDL is the good cholesterol while the VLDL is the bad cholesterol.
Another term we are very familiar with is triglycerides. We all know that basically this is the thing that can make us fat and can deposit in places unwanted, like in the veins and arteries or the liver and other unwanted places. Unfortunately, triglycerides are found in large quantities in VLDL cholesterol which is the reason why VLDL got such a bad reputation.
How to lower triglycerides takes time and dedication. For one thing, everything that we enjoy contains this unwanted substance and it is funny that it can act like nicotine; we just can't get enough of it. Basically, all animal products that we consume contain the triglycerides which mean that if we have to talk about lowering the VLDL cholesterol levels in our system, that we should not ingest anything connected to animals, except fish. But then fish is not a mammal, it is fish.
Normal levels of VLDL cholesterol in blood tests should read 5 mg/dL to 40 mg/dL. How to lower triglycerides will be the next action to take if the numbers are above the normal levels. The only way to do this would be to learn everything there is to learn about VLDL and what foods can lower them.
To control the VLDL cholesterol and the other cholesterol levels, except HDL, just make sure that you are not into excessive intakes of red meat, animal products, processed meats and the coffee and nicotine. Remember, the liver will take offense when there is alcohol and forget its main function. In the end the liver will get fat and sick and you don't want that. So stop that alcohol already.
Patients generally do not like to follow the diet even if it means that their VLDL cholesterol levels are high, even if their bodies are already protesting, even if the medications are just making them miserable. Why? Because they think that they will become half of what they really are if they give up all the good stuff. Unfortunately, this is the only way to lower the VLDL cholesterol levels in the body, or else... I really don't want to say it, so I won't.
