Everything about LDL, HDL, and VLDL Cholesterol
-
I recently received an e-mail from a gentleman about the fact that cholesterol is always present in the body and that many people look too negatively at the term cholesterol. That is why today I want to clarify cholesterol and what you should pay attention to!
-
People have become a lot more aware in recent years about the risks of high cholesterol. But still there are myths and myths about cholesterol including that cholesterol is â € â € ™ badâ € ™ â € ™ for you and should be avoided.

Cholesterol is fat
-
In simple terms, cholesterol is fat, or a lipid. There are three types of fats present in your body, the so-called triglycerides, sterols and phospholipids. I have already devoted an article to the triglycerides, in short it is used for fat tissue and energy, but with cholesterol too much can be bad for your veins and heart .

If you could touch cholesterol it looks like candle wax and that's why many people think cholesterol is bad for you. Fortunately, your body has found a solution for this and transports the cholesterol through your bloodstream by covering it with an extra substance so that it does not get stuck in the blood and start to clot.

The classification and composition is determined on the basis of the amount of proteins and fats. The most famous form of lipoproteins are â € â € ™ HDLâ € ™ â € ™ and â € â € ™ LDLâ € ™ â € ™ lipoproteins.
-
When you look at your total cholesterol you are actually looking at the density of cholesterol in the blood.

In other words, the amount of LDL, HDL, and VLDL (meaning â € ˜â € ™ very low density lipoproteinsâ € ™ â € ™), these cause triglycerides and cholesterol is transported throughout your body from the liver. Your cells use the cholesterol and eventually the HDL cholesterol ensures that the cholesterol residues are transported from your blood back to the liver.
-
So the VLDL carries cholesterol from your liver to your cells, HDL functions like a broom truck and cleans up all cholesterol residues and transports it back to the liver.

If we then look at your total cholesterol, you know that the ratio between LDL, HDL, and VLDL (triglycerides and cholesterol) are of great importance for your health and the risk of cardiovascular disease .

That is why your total cholesterol values say little because you know nothing about the ratio between the 3 types of cholesterol.
-
The risk of cardiovascular disease can also differ greatly due to this ratio. Someone with relatively high total cholesterol levels can even be perfectly healthy due to a higher HDL level in the blood. Even someone with a total cholesterol of 5 can be in the danger zone due to a too high LDL ratio compared to HDL.

It is not without reason that cardiovascular disease is the number 1 cause of death and it is expected that 36% will die of this in the future.
-
The good news is that you can do a lot to lower your LDL cholesterol levels. Even a small drop in your LDL levels can dramatically decrease the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Ratio 3 kinds of cholesterol says it all
-
The reason people call LDL â € ˜â € ™ badâ € ™ â € ™ is that too many of these fats settle in the veins causing blockages with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease as a result.

Vein calcification is mainly caused by free radicals and oxidation of LDL-C (a variant) on the damaged vessel walls. In other words, you will not find atherosclerosis in healthy veins.
-
Arteriosclerosis is a long process that may have started from an early age. Especially foods high in anti oxidants are important to prevent this process!
-
The good news here is that the amount of LDL in your blood is always related to the amount of saturated fats and cholesterol. That is why you can very well lower LDL by eating less saturated fats and more unsaturated.

Different types of fats
-
Most people already know a thing or two about saturated and unsaturated fats. All fats are largely the same, but the big difference is in the chemical structure of these fats and how your body reacts to them.
-
In short, saturated fats means that the chemical structure is completely saturated and consists entirely of hydrogen atoms without interruption.

25 minMain dishceleriac, floury potatoes, olive oil, beef finches, onion, Apple juice, gravy natural, dairy spread,beeffinch with sweet apple gravy
-
This large amount of hydrogen atoms makes these fats unhealthy for the body and increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
-
Unsaturated fats have a lower amount of hydrogen atoms and are healthy for the body by stimulating your HDL cholesterol. These fats are divided into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated and can be found in the healthier fats such as olive oil.
-
The difference between these fats is precisely in the chemical structure and whether there is an interruption of hydrogen atoms. As you can see, with saturated fats there are NO interruptions and unsaturated fats DO.
-
These so-called breaks in the chemical structure are the difference between Healthy Unhealthy for your body.
Effect of HDL Cholesterol
-
In simple terms, HDL is the opposite of LDL cholesterol and distinguishes it because it contains more proteins than fats. The reason HDL is considered â € â € ™ goodâ € ™ â € ™ is because it absorbs excess fats in your body and transports it back to the liver to break it down again.
-
Therefore, having enough HDL cholesterol in your blood is very powerful for a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. You can promote HDL cholesterol by eating enough unsaturated fats so that the amount of LDL cholesterol decreases and HDL increases.
Your body makes cholesterol itself
-
About a quarter of your total cholesterol comes from what you eat - the rest is made by your body. Once your cholesterol is too low, your body can change it by promoting the production of cholesterol.
-
Your liver is especially responsible for this and makes lipoproteins from cholesterol so that it can be safely transported through the body. In short, your body makes cholesterol itself and the level of your cholesterol depends on your lifestyle and genetic factors.
-
It could also be that you suffer from high cholesterol because your body itself simply produces too much. That is why it is a calculation to see how much cholesterol your body produces itself and you can adjust your lifestyle and diet accordingly.

-
From my experience I can say that many people suffer from too much cholesterol in their blood from eating fat. Quite simply, the Western way of life and diet is once full of fats. Just think of a tasty smoked sausage or the fast food restaurants along the highway. Better to leave this and be aware of foods high in fat!
