Cholesterol and Diet, How to raise cholesterol as well as ways to lower cholesterol


  • If the amount of cholesterol in the blood increases, it leads to the arrival of many diseases. Such as heart attack, blood-pressure, affecting the kidneys, deterioration of the digestive system, as well as improper blood circulation inside the duct, etc.
  • There are two types of cholesterol in our body - HDL and LDL. HDL is called good cholesterol, LDL is called bad cholesterol.


Cholesterol is a naturally occurring element in the body. There are two types of cholesterol. HDL, commonly counted as good cholesterol, and LDL, commonly known as bad cholesterol. Fat is present in the blood mainly in the form of cholesterol and triglycerides. This fat is found in food. Blood fats cannot be easily transported because they are not water soluble. With the help of lipoproteins (lipids + proteins) the digested fat travels from the liver to different parts of the body. The liver contains four types of lipoproteins. Chylomicrons, VLDL (very low density lipoprotein), LDL (low density lipoprotein) and HDL (high density lipoprotein).


The total cholesterol level in the body is less than 200 mg while 40 mg. Or more is considered dangerous. HDL means good cholesterol. If it is less than that, it is considered bad when 50 mg. Or more is considered good. Bad cholesterol i.e. LDL. The dose is 100 mg. Or less, but 150 mg. Or more is considered bad.

If more fat is taken in the diet, the liver makes more VLDL for its transport. If there is not enough HDL, more LDL accumulates in the bloodstream. This results in blockage of blood vessels and heart attack. Also known as atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis comes from the Greek word. Athero means fat and sclerosis means fat thickening process. Find out what the diet should be and how much it should help prevent bad cholesterol from accumulating in the body.
