Cholesterol: hdl vs ldl
More lifestyle tutoring: the tutor continues to research cholesterol.
Perhaps many of us have heard that HDL is the “good” cholesterol, while LDL is the “bad”. What’s the difference?
HDL: collects cholesterol from the blood and conveys it to the liver, where it will be cleansed from the body.
LDL: conveys cholesterol to an artery, where it may be deposited to form plaque. As a result, the artery wall thickens, while its room for blood passage decreases.
