Cholesterol for Life

A big deal is constantly being made about the amount of cholesterol floating around in a person’s bloodstream. If its too much (which is what most people worry about), then it can lead to well publicised health risks, such as artery damage and heart attacks.

But that’s not the whole story, by any means. There are two main types of proteins that are linked with cholesterol, LDL or bad cholesterol and HDL or good cholesterol. There is a third, known as trygicerides which when at a high level can also carry the risk of heart disease.

Not all doctors agree completely on what constitutes a “safe” level of each of these proteins, although standards have been set down by various government health bodies by which doctors can make accurate diagnoses of their patients’ potential for associated health problems.

For a more detailed report on these figures and more information all about cholesterol, please read the latest article in the articles database at Alternative Cures.

PS: The first of three articles on the hidden dangers in modern farmed produce has also been uploaded to the article database, with the next two in the mini-series to follow soon.

Thanks for looking in, see you again soon!
