All of us know that for a healthy proper body, it is very important that the heart functions properly. We need to take care of the heart as one of the main causes for heart blockage and in severe cases; a heart attack is nothing but the substance cholesterol. We need to ensure that we take in a proper diet with the correct levels of cholesterol. This involves ensuring that there is a balance between Low Density Lipoprotein cholesterol or LDL and High Density Lipoprotein cholesterol or HDL. This helps in reducing the chances of a coronary artery disease occurring in the individual.

LDL Cholesterol is also known as bad cholesterol because it transports cholesterol to the arteries. The risk here is that there is every chance that it will get stored there by the arterial protoglycans. This will lead to the formation of plaques causing the condition called atherosclerosis and finally to coronary artery disease. HDL or High Density Lipoprotein cholesterol is also called good cholesterol because it has found that it can remove cholesterol from the arteries and take it back to the liver to be excreted or to be re-utilized.

Therefore, having more of HDL than LDL can mean that you are protected from having a heart attack and any other coronary disease. This also means that we should learn to control our diet in such a way that the intake comprises more of HDL cholesterol and not LDL cholesterol.

One should learn to have soy protein, almonds, plant sterol-enriched margarines and oats, psyllium, okra, and eggplant as they help in reducing the levels of LDL Cholesterol.
