There is a tendency among working generation of today to patronize restaurants offering such food. So be determined to avoid fast foods. Unless and otherwise it is explicitly stated as HDL cholesterol, the usage of word cholesterol refers always to the harmful ‘LDL’ type. The molecule lipoprotein deposits the LDL cholesterols on the walls of arteries, thus impeding the flow of blood through the arteries, HDL variety of cholesterols binds with the deposits to bring them back to the liver.

Chief Sources of the beneficial Cholesterol:

1. It is produced primarily in the liver and intestines and released into the blood stream. Seventy five percent of HDL is formed by this method as a result of internal process.

2. The rest is derived from the food we consume. So we humans have some considerable leverage in improving the HDL concentration. You should exploit this to weed out the excesses of LDL variety of cholesterol.

Now let us see the various means ways and means by which the malefic cholesterol concentration can be brought under control.

* Olive oil is the best among the unsaturated cooking oils available. It is mono unsaturated oil which is rich in omega 9 fatty acids. Grape seed oil , flax seed oil are also other sources of omega 9 fatty acids , but the concentration is substantially low compared to olive oil. The degree of saturation in coconut oil as in the case of other palm oils is high. Take vegetables and fruits which have higher fiber content like banana, guava, orange, beans, and nuts.
 
*  Alcohol and sugar stimulate the surplus production of LDL cholesterol. Restrain yourself from eating fast foods as they are rich in high fat saturated foods and sodium. 

*  In addition to omega-9 fatty acids omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial. These acids can be found in Salmon, mackerel, certain tuna specie etc.

*  LDL cholesterol is also known or called as idle cholesterol as they are of no use to the body, residing as a waste. If this category of cholesterol is stepped up beyond certain range, physicians may recommend usage of drugs such as statins whose effect in bringing down LDL levels have been well established (proved). The dosage should be according to your doctor’s instructions.
