I believe that any person can have realized this. Despite this and as prevention to the vascular disorders, should try this change of habits of a voluntary basis, before we imposed by obligation “in extremis”.
Paradoxically to what one might think, when the Liver (our laboratory live) does not work well, it may be that the cholesterol levels are normal or even low, for which it has to be the doctor who valued the figures of the analysis.
Anyway, our diet high in saturated fat, the sedentary lifestyle, the environment stressful and various bad habits (alcohol, tobacco, etc.) harden the arteries and overcharge to the heart, with all this one of the main causes of premature death in adults.
After the analysis of blood, is that the cholesterol is too high, surely will follow a diet. These pages want clarify this issue, explain in more detail a regime that perhaps has already begun, and answer some questions that he can raise.
What is the cholesterol?
The cholesterol is a substance that is usually found in the blood of all people, as many other (proteins, glucose, urea, etc. ), but if increases its concentration there is a danger that contributes to hinder the flow of blood, and in the long run, produce vascular diseases serious.
Origin of blood cholesterol.
It has two origins very different:
1th can come from cholesterol containing the food itself.
2th Our liver manufactures most of the cholesterol found in the agency.

It is a fact that the agency needs cholesterol to make enzymes, hormones and vitamin D, which is produced mainly by the liver. However it is also well known that the cholesterol can cause plaques in arteries, when its level in sander is very high.
Types of cholesterol the “good” or HDL and the “bad” or LDL. The LDL is responsible for the emergence of plaques in arteries, greater number plates, less space for that flow through the blood, increasing the risk of a total blockade and, therefore, suffering heart. The saturated fats and Trans fatty acids are two of the most important sources of growth of blood cholesterol, the same as that is unnecessary for the proper functioning of the agency.
The monounsaturated fats and poly-unsaturated found in some foods, such as dried fruit and fish, have the capacity to down the level of LDL in the blood. Other foods that can be consumed to achieve this objective are fruits, oats, barley and pulses, because of the soluble fiber they contain. (more…)
