Are you bothered by high cholesterol?
One fatty meal may not hurt, but not following healthy eating habits can lead to bigger problems over time – high cholesterol. That's why we're sharing how fruttberry can help prevent this.
Why does the body need cholesterol?
Cholesterol is an important building block in the human body, involved in the production of bile acid, the development of tissues and cells, and other vital processes.
There are two types of cholesterol:
"Good" cholesterol is high-density lipoproteins (HDL). Their job is to prevent cholesterol from building up in the walls of your arteries and to transport it to the liver, where it is broken down.
"Bad" cholesterol is low-density lipoproteins (LDL). Their function is to transport cholesterol from the liver to the walls of blood vessels.
When there is too much "bad" cholesterol in the body, it can build up on the walls of blood vessels and form plaques. This obstructs blood flow and can increase the risk of heart disease, vascular disease, or stroke.
Why can cholesterol levels increase?
- Poor nutrition
- Insufficient physical activity
- Bad habits
- Heredity
- Impaired removal of cholesterol from the body
Several rules can help prevent high cholesterol:
Avoid:
- Saturated fats: they are abundant in fast food and fatty animal products.
- heavily sugar-sweetened drinks or desserts.
- products high in salt.
Eat more:
- Foods rich in fiber: they are abundant in fruits, berries, and vegetables.
- Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids: seafood, fish, seeds or nuts (flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts).
