Your wellbeing and body care allows us to obtain something essential in this world: life. For this reason many of us try to take care of it with exercise and foods high in good cholesterol, but, do you really know how good this cholesterol is to prevent heart disease ?
 

A study conducted by Harvard School of Public Health it reveals that the so-called good cholesterol could have harmful effects on our health.
 

For years it has been believed that LDL molecules, known as bad cholesterol, were the main cause of heart disease as heart attacks, insufficiencies, cardiopathies etc. However, this research exposes that also HDL molecules, good cholesterol , are associated with cardiovascular risks.
 

Avoiding cigarettes, saturated fats and a sedentary lifestyle is not the only thing that will help us keep our hearts healthy. Published in the magazine of the American Heart Association , the study notes that the problem with good cholesterol it is a protein found in it: apolipoprotein C-III. This, in high amounts, can cause a greater risk in coronary diseases.
 

But even the battle is not lost, the protein is usually found on the surface of some foods, in addition, the good cholesterol is still effective at the time of taking care of us, since for the most part they do not contain the apolipoprotein C-III.
 

The study does not determine that we should rule out foods like vegetables, salmon, dried fruit, nuts that are high in good cholesterol . It only suggests that we have a better and more balanced diet.
 

In addition, this discovery will help in the future to make doctors and hospitals better evaluations, more accurate, and that the prevention of this disease will be more efficient in controlling their mortality.
 

Remember that food is not everything, even if they are basic in our lives, routine checkups can make a difference for your heart
