HDL cholesterol and carbs

I took a week off for a little well deserved vacation. Now I am back and ready to resume my posts here. The today’s post will deal with the cholesterol issue – particularly with the HDL type. As we know that’s the good cholesterol. When your blood work shows that HDL is lower than 40 that means you are in danger of a heart disease. Ideally it should be over 60.

Researchers discovered that with increasing the carbohydrate consumption the HDL levels decrease. So, if you are a heavy carb eater think again. Among some of the other negatives that high carb eating offers there is this one, too. The key is: you can’t without carbs but you shouldn’t overeat them too. Be moderate – good for your low body fat levels, good for your blood vessel system.
