As humans, we are expected to have good cholesterol by always going for check-ups and engaging in recreational activities. I hope you are all okay; keep blogging, friends.
| - What is cholesterol level, and what are its types? |
|---|
Cholesterol level can be defined as the measurement of the actual amount of cholesterol in the human blood.
There are two main types of cholesterol which are.
HDL is known as (high-density lipoprotein).
LDL is known as (low-density lipoprotein).
HDL KNOWN AS (HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN).
This is the type of cholesterol often referred to as good cholesterol because it absorbs cholesterol from the blood, which is later taken to the liver for purification for the bad cholesterol to leave the body. If you have a good amount of HDL stroke and heart diseases can be prevented.
LDL KNOWN AS (LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN).
This is a cholesterol usually called bad cholesterol; if the level of your LDL becomes high, this will make the cholesterol build a wall in your blood vessels, which then forms a plaque. High LDL increases the risks of being infected with heart disease and stroke.
| - What kind of investigations are used to measure the level of cholesterol? |
|---|
The way our cholesterol is measured is either by testing the blood or screening. These are done to help determine the type of cholesterol in your body, which is either LDL or HDL. This test also lets you know whether you are very open to heart disease and stroke. This test is done to know the total amount of fats in your blood.
- Why HDL is good cholesterol?
The cholesterol type HDL is considered good cholesterol cuz it helps in the removal of excess cholesterol from the blood and then carries it to the liver; it is also called good cholesterol because it lowers our risk of having stroke and heart disease.
This is the cholesterol that helps to keep us physically fit; it also enhances our ability to perform recreational activities, and it is good also for its ability to regulate the body's temperature.
