Juice to Lower Cholesterol

Cholesterol is classified into two categories, LDL i.e. low-density lipoprotein, and HDL i.e. high-density lipoprotein. LDL is considered bad cholesterol. It is more sticky and thick. When its quantity is high, it starts accumulating on the walls of blood vessels and arteries, due to which there is an obstruction in the flow of blood. Its increase causes problems like heart attack, high blood pressure, and obesity. HDL has good cholesterol. It is very mild and helps in removing the bad cholesterol accumulated in the arteries.

We can stop the rising level of LDL in our bodies. For this, we should take a nutritious diet and exercise regularly. This can reduce LDL cholesterol. By taking the right diet and nutritional elements, the level of HDL cholesterol i.e. good cholesterol will improve and the level of LDL cholesterol i.e. bad cholesterol will decrease.
