Over a cup of tea. Scientists have found a simple way to lower the “bad” cholesterol
As it turned out after observing 80 thousand people, green tea is especially useful for the cardiovascular system. It has more antioxidant compounds than black.
But black tea is also rich in polyphenols and catechins, which have strong anti-inflammatory properties.
“We found that people who drank tea regularly had a better ratio between cholesterol and HDL. The level of “good” cholesterol decreased with age much more slowly, which more effectively protected against the development of cardiovascular diseases, ”MedikForum quoted the authors of the study.
HDL (high density lipoproteins) prevents the development of vascular and heart diseases, in particular, reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. As experts explain, “good” cholesterol affects the concentration of “bad”, cleansing it of blood vessels and even atherosclerotic plaques.
According to doctors, more than half of the adult population of the planet have a total cholesterol concentration higher than normal in the blood – 5.55 mmol / L. In 20%, this indicator exceeds 6.5 mmol / L. “Bad” cholesterol narrows the lumen of large blood vessels, and this leads to the development of cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, liver and kidney problems.
The main reason for the accumulation of excess cholesterol in the body is an unbalanced diet.
