Referred to as the “bad cholesterol,” LDL fractions contain most of the cholesterol in the blood and are associated with cholesterol deposits on artery walls, more commonly known as plaque. Referred to as the “good cholesterol,” HDL fractions are believed to carry cholesterol out of the blood and back to the liver for breakdown and excretion. Thus, having partially hydrogenated high HDL levels of cholesterol; greater than partially hydrogenated 40 mg/dL, may be as important as having low LDL levels; less than 100 mg/dL, to partially hydrogenated reduce the risk of heart disease.In addition to diet, a wide variety of risk factors influence blood cholesterol. Risk factors beyond control include age, race, and gender. But there are many risk factors that individuals can influence. These include following a healthful diet, maintaining healthy weight, getting adequate physical activity, controlling high blood pressure, avoiding cigarette smoking, and managing stress.
