LDL-Cholesterin ist ein Teil des Cholesterins, von dem jeder weiß. Aufgrund des wachsenden Bewusstseins in der Gesellschaft und des wachsenden Interesses an der Prävention vieler Krankheiten werden wir immer mehr darauf aufmerksam. Wenn wir die Ergebnisse abholen, ist es oft einer der wenigen Parameter, über die wir Bescheid wissen und die wir am häufigsten überprüfen. Was es ist und was es uns sagt, werden Sie im folgenden Artikel erfahren.
Cholesterol in the blood
LDL cholesterol, or, more precisely, LDL lipoproteins of small density and size, are composed of 75 to 80% lipids, including about 40% of cholesterol esters. They are formed in plasma, and their function is to transport cholesterol from the liver to the extra-uterine tissues. This is why they were once thought to be responsible for the formation of the coronary plaque and the occurrence of diseases of the circulatory system.
LDL cholesterol is normal
LDL-cholesterol levels have decreased over the past few years, most likely as a result of increasing problems with diseases caused by excessive levels of these compounds in the blood. Currently, cholesterol levels below 135 mg/dL, or below 3.5 mmol/l, are a normal result.
I have elevated LDL cholesterol
Until recently, it was believed that elevated levels of LDL cholesterol were most commonly observed in people who consumed excess animal fats that were rich in saturated fatty acids and cholesterol. However, from recent reports we can learn that the type of food consumed does not significantly affect the concentration of this fraction, and that individual or genetic factors are most often responsible. Interestingly, just a few years ago, cholesterol levels that were considered normal were much higher than they are now, and the reduction was accompanied by the introduction of many pharmaceuticals intended to reduce their concentration.
How do you lower your cholesterol?
There are many fruits, vegetables, and even spices that are effective in fighting bad cholesterol, such as aronia, garlic, onion, dark grapes, fresh cereal, red and black pepper. It is important that the diet is low in energy, so it assumes the reduction in fat and fat in the diet, and so it should also be processed. There are several fruits and vegetables that are active in low fat food products, including garlic and celery, onions, black grapefruit, fresh grapes and red peppers.
