Cholesterol is a substance found in every cell in the body, it is fatty and is very useful in various body functions. Good cholesterol is a way to set HDL, which is very important and helps prevent cardiovascular disease, heart attack and stroke. -HDL cholesterol eliminates and removes LDL (or “bad” cholesterol); -HDL reduces, reuses LDL, transporting it to the liver, where it can be reprocessed; -HDL cholesterol acts as a blood vessel maintenance team. Damage to the inner walls is the primary trigger for atherosclerosis, which causes heart attacks. HDL cleans the walls and keeps them healthy. What should I do to increase my good cholesterol??

sedentary lifestyle.
