Will eating much HDL cholesterols food kills you ?

Question

If one is high in cholestorls, and if he keeps eating food that is only high in HDL cholesterols, will that still kills him ? Or his cholesterols level may actually improves ?

Answer 1

you dont eat HDLs, HDL is a protein-based cholesterol that your liver makes which transports fats for processing (which in turn usually results in LDL and less atheroschlerosis). if you ate HDL your body would break it down and digest it before it got to your blood stream. the nurse practioner should know that....

and i suppose it could maybe cause nerve damage and stuff if your HDLs are extremely high because it would lower your LDLs which you need to some extent, but your body regulates it well and ive never heard of anybody having problems from too high of HDL or too low of LDL

Cholesterol and the ever growing danger of obesity that is facing america is a dire health threat both to you and your loved ones.

Why is LDL cholesterol considered "bad"?
When too much LDL cholesterol circulates in the blood, it can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Together with other substances it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog those arteries. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, it can cause a heart attack or stroke. The levels of HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the blood are measured to evaluate the risk of having a heart attack. LDL cholesterol of less than 100 mg/dL is the optimal level. Less than 130 mg/dL is near optimal for most people. A high LDL level (more than 160 mg/dL or 130 mg/dL or above if you have two or more risk factors for cardiovascular disease) reflects an increased risk of heart disease. That's why LDL cholesterol is often called "bad" cholesterol.

Why is HDL cholesterol considered "good"?
About one-third to one-fourth of blood cholesterol is carried by high-density lipoprotein (HDL). HDL cholesterol is known as the "good" cholesterol because a high level of it seems to protect against heart attack. (Low HDL cholesterol levels [less than 40 mg/dL] increase the risk for heart disease.) Medical experts think that HDL tends to carry cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it's passed from the body. Some experts believe that HDL removes excess cholesterol from plaque in arteries, thus slowing the buildup.

What is Lp(a) cholesterol?
Lp(a) is a genetic variation of plasma LDL. A high level of Lp(a) is an important risk factor for developing fatty deposits in arteries prematurely. The way an increased Lp(a) contributes to disease isn’t understood. The lesions in artery walls contain substances that may interact with Lp(a), leading to the buildup of fatty deposits.

The triglyceride connection
Triglyceride is a form of fat. It comes from food and is also made in your body. People with high triglycerides often have a high total cholesterol, a high LDL cholesterol and a low HDL cholesterol level. Many people with heart disease also have high triglyceride levels. People with diabetes or who are obese are also likely to have high triglycerides. Triglyceride levels of less than 150 mg/dL are normal; levels from 150–199 are borderline high. Levels that are borderline high or high (200–499 mg/dL) may need treatment in some people. Triglyceride levels of 500 mg/dL or above are very high. Doctors need to treat high triglycerides in people who also have high LDL cholesterol.

I strongly suggest you find out yours from some simple tests that your doctor can run. he and a nutritionist can help you to develope an eating plan that will correct any problems that you are having. it is much better to catch this early than suffer the problems it will create as you get older.

No, HDL is good cholesterol. This is not going to hurt him.

It’s Friday brunch time and you simply can’t stop going back for seconds. But hang on! Stop for the minute and suck on another strong mint. The flavour will probably put you off that next plate of chicken korma/roast beef/sushi medley.

yes they will eventually clog arteries and or veins possibly leading to a heart attack or stroke Hdl is commonly called bad cholosterol
