High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is used to maintain a healthy heart and several other organs of the body. On the other hand, there are also low-density lipoprotein (LDL) which is harmful to the body.
This bad cholesterol forms into plaque and clogs arteries, if the condition gets worse it can increase the risk of heart disease. A number of factors can affect a person’s cholesterol levels.
Reporting from the Daily Express (8/3) the cholesterol level in a person’s body is influenced by lifestyle habits such as smoking, drinking beverages alcoholand their daily activities.
Drinking alcohol can significantly increase a person’s cholesterol levels. The charity Heart UK explains: “When you drink alcohol, that fat is broken down and rebuilt into triglycerides and cholesterol which settle in the liver. So drinking alcohol increases triglycerides and cholesterol in the blood.
“If triglyceride levels are too high, these substances can build up in the liver. This is at the root of fatty liver disease. The liver can’t work properly and can’t remove cholesterol from the blood, so the effect is that cholesterol levels increase.”
Drinks containing alcohol can cause a combination of high triglyceride levels along with low HDL cholesterol. Conditions like this can lead to heart disease.
Although it has a negative effect on cholesterol in the body, it doesn’t mean you can’t drink alcohol at all. Limit consumption and accompany it with a healthy lifestyle.
The National Health Service (NHS) in the UK recommends drinking alcohol for adults. In a week at least consume a maximum of 14 glasses. If excessive then various negative effects will be felt by the body.
