Recent studies have shown that many of the subjects had serious coronary blockages and thus at risk of a heart attack, had in common a low level of HDL cholesterol that is “good” can remove particles from the coronary arteries of the dangerous cholesterol LDL before they get to block blood flow.
Most people when they read the results of their analysis, focusing on the value of total cholesterol and completely ignore the two fractions of HDL and LDL, and this is a mistake if we think that some of those at risk of damage to the coronary has a normal level of LDL.
The normal value of 35 mg / dl but if it is higher is even better and everyone can improve their level of HDL with simple remedies:
• Drink 3 glasses of orange juice a day: the rate of HDL increase of 20% ie 10-15 points it within a month, probably due to a flavonoid called Hesperidin contained in orange juice


• Losing 5 kg of weight, it seems that for every pound lost, the rate of 1% increase in HDL
• Make physical activity because who train regularly have higher rates of HDL probably due to an increase of an enzyme as “lipoprotein lipase” that lowers triglycerides and promotes the production of HDL cholesterol, and its peak occurs after 12 hours’ training.


• The low glycemic foods such as beans, seem to favor raising HDL.
