Which cholesterol subtype is more dangerous, HDL or LDL?

Answer 1

Amount of saturated fat, cholesterol, or trans fatty acids

Hydrogenation is the introduction of hydrogen to vegetable oil molecules to make them saturated. It’s a concern for nutrition because although some hydrogenated vegetable oils were considered to be a healthy alternative to animal fats, it’s now believed that this type of hydrogenated oils might do as much damage to the veins and arteries as animal fat.

Excess saturated fats are unable to be broken down by the body, so they’re stored in the walls of the veins and arteries; this causes the veins and arteries to narrow, as well as become hard. This makes it very difficult for blood to pass through and ultimately leads to various disease states.

Fish is low in cholesterol and saturated fats. Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are thought to help protect against heart disease.

No, all fat has calories, and even “healthy” calories may exceed daily calorie needs

a. Increased

b. Decreased

c. Decreased

d. Increased

LDL

Answer 2

The main concerns for someone who has high triglyceride levels in the blood are the risk of developing cardiocirculatory diseases or to increase their risks of having some kind of neuro debilitative illness, because usually high triglyceride levels in the blood lead to more fat, particularly abdominal fat, which is the first cause of risks in the previously mentioned cased.

When shopping for margarine, people should look for trans fat and saturated fat content. If this nutrient it is over 2%, then it is not healthy. Moreover, people should look for the presence of added flavour or conservatives, which are not healthy as well.

Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between hydrogen and another element. The process is used to reduce or saturate organic compounds. Hydrogenation is made with the addition of pairs of hydrogen atoms to a molecule. Catalysts are required for the reaction to be usable because non-catalytic hydrogenation takes place only at very high temperatures.
---
A major health concern derived from hydrogenation is the production of trans fats. Trans fats are the result of a side reaction with the catalyst of the hydrogenation. The human body does not recognize trans fats. Most of the trans fatty acids produced by hydrogenation are now classified in the same category as saturated fats, thus unhealthy for humans.

The risks of consuming high amounts of saturated fats are an increased risk of developing obesity, risks of developing cardiovascular diseases, some type of tumours are proved to be linked with the presence of a high quantity of saturated fats, and in general, they are no good for our system.

Fish is considered to be a heart-healthy food fro the presence of Omega−3 fatty acids, which are polyunsaturated fatty acids. The three types of omega−3 fatty acids involved in human physiology are α-linolenic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid. it has been proved that omega−3 fatty acids are associated with lower blood pressure in people with hypertension and in people with normal blood pressure.

No, it is not OK to prepare a lot of fried foods as long as you use healthy oil, such as olive oil. Fried food is considered unhealthy in general, regardless of the type of oil used to fried. A common nutritional advice is to limit the assumption of fried food as much as possible.
----
It is not OK to prepare a lot of fried foods as long as you use healthy oil, such as olive oil because of the high amount of fat that fried foods have. moreover, if the fried is not done in the right way, there are risks associated with the burn of the oil, which is linked to the developing of certain types of tumours.

A high cholesterol level is associated with an increased of heart disease and high blood pressure. Under 210 it is not considered high, so for the following readings, it is possible to say that a. and d. are above 200, so with an increased risk, c. is well under 210 so with a decrease in the risk, as for b. is not above 210 but certainly it should be kept on eye on it.
a. 300 b. 200 c. 180 d. 267

LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Cholesterol is sometimes called "bad" cholesterol. A high LDL cholesterol level can raise your risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. LDL cholesterol carries mostly fat and only a small amount of protein from the liver to other parts of the body.
