The secrets on how to lower bad cholesterol

For every person it is must that he/she must know the levels of low density lipoproteins (LDL) in his/her blood, and must take care not only to avoid the rise in the levels of this ‘bad’ cholesterol but also take some measures to lower the already existing levels of it in the blood.

So, it must be kept in mind that the person who doesn’t care about the bad cholesterol in his/her blood is suspected to die earlier than the one who cares about his/her health.

The cause of bad cholesterol:

Primarily it is due to the consumption of too much saturated fat, which is found mainly in the animals. These animal fats and the fats from the dairy must be avoided in the first place in order to achieve the target of lowering LDL. Healthy levels of triglycerides, which are a kind of fats, are considered to be anything between 0 and 149mgdl, are needed to be maintained otherwise serious health complications can occur. Triglycerides store up the energy, which is the fuel of the body. The source of high levels of triglycerides is the consumption of too much omega 6 foods, which include bacon, cream cheese, and fried foods.

Diet to be added for good cholesterol levels:

Apart from lowering the levels of low density lipoproteins, the omega 3 fatty acids help to improve the condition of the heart and also raise the levels of the high density lipoproteins (HDL), which is also known as the good cholesterol. Although the nuts and berries, that contain omega 3, the omega 3 fish oil is the best in the business, which also contains other essential fatty acids such as DHA and EPA. Hence, another good thing that must be noted about the omega 3 fatty acids is that they are totally natural. Those people who add omega 3 fish oil in their diet and avoid the use of animal fat, are proven to have smaller levels of LDL and hence, smaller incidence of heart disease. The health is greatly improved if the LDL levels are lowered and for that all important facts are being presented before you and now it is your responsibility to devise a way to change your diet plan in view of these facts
