Pectin, a natural substance found in the cell walls of certain fruit can help you get a good balance between "good" and "bad" cholesterol.
How much cholesterol you need?
The problem with cholesterol is that you do not have it, because cholesterol is part of your cells. The problem is that you can end up with high levels of this fatty substance - as in your cells you have, as it puts you at an increased risk of the disease cardivascular . Unfortunately , it is estimated that one in two adults have total cholesterol readings of 200 mg / dl ( milligrams per deciliter ) or higher.
Your doctor will measure your cholesterol with a blood sample . The figures below show you how to test your reading of total blood cholesterol associated with risk of developing heart problems
Desirable blood cholesterol : below 200 mg / dl
Borderline high blood cholesterol : 200-239 mg / dl
High cholesterol : 240 mg / dl
Cholesterol levels in the blood of 240 mg / dL or more is considered high , but higher than 200 mg / dl level increases the risk of heart disease. If your reading is 240 mg / dl or more , you have more than twice the risk of someone whose reading is 200 mg / dl. You must take immediate corrective action .
HDL vs. LDL
HDL and LDL are two different substances. A cause debris to accumulate, ndërsatjetri helps to clean them. See the difference :
LDL stands for low density lipoprotein , a form of cholesterol sludge that builds up in your blood. LDL molecules act as " delivery trucks " picking fats, waste , cholesterol and toxic materials and place them in all your cells , especially in the blood vessels. This is dangerous because a lot of mud LDL can clog arteries and lead to heart attack.
HDL stands for high density lipoprotein , a form of fat circulating in the blood . This cholesterol is known as "good" because it helps clean your arteries. HDL molecules act as purifiers phones , moving all your blood and eliminate waste. I guess they get the waste to your liver for disposal. As you can see, the more HDL you have, the more your own cells .
Because your health depends on the balance of these two types of cholesterol , you want to ensure that your LDL and HDL are lower than your high .
As pectin can improve your cholesterol
Pectin is a soluble fiber that has the power to balance your LDL and HDL. Pectin, as found in plant cell walls and the walls between the cells, is used to regulate the flow of water between the cells to keep them rigid. Here's how pectin with LDL cholesterol :
When you eat, the gallbladder sends the bile, necessary to treat fat in the meals , intestines substance. Pasibile did his job in the intestines , if your meal contains enough soluble fiber such as pectin , two of them to attach to each other and they leave your body through the feces.
Pasibiliare is absent, the liver needs to develop more and to do this, it needs cholesterol . Thus, the liver goes into bloodstreams takes the cholesterol it needs and makes bile. As you can see, which means that less cholesterol is roaming in your arteries and you have a lower risk for our blood vessels.
Pectin also binds with toxic waste in the form of plate , blocking their absorption into your cells and your arteries. Pectin enter the waste and sends it via the channels of elimination . The result is a healthy balance between HDL and LDL .
Where can you find the pectin ?
Pectin is a component of many frozen. In fact, about 75 percent of the jelly is pectin. However, I do not advise you to go through these channels pectin because the sugar in the jelly. The best way to provide your body with the pectin is necessary to eat apples. If the whole, sliced, shredded or turned into applesauce (no sugar ) will give you enough pectin.
Make sure you eat the skin ( after washing fruits) , because it is the highest pectin kupërqendrimi is . An apple has about two grams of pectin. Ten grams per day are useful in the disposal of toxic waste and increase HDL cholesterol.
