Types of cholesterol and different
HDL
GOOD CHOLESTEROL!
High Density Lipoprotein
Good cholesterol (High Density
Lipoprotein), carries excess
cholesterol in your blood back to your
liver where it's broken down and
removed from your body. This means a
high level of good HDL cholesterol can
maintain your heart health.
LDL
BAD CHOLESTEROL!
Low Density Lipoprotein
Bad cholesterol (Low Density
Lipoprotein) carries cholesterol to
your cells. But when you have too
much LDL it can build up in your
artery walls, causing them to narrow.
This reduces blood flow, which can be
bad for your heart health.
