HDL Cholesterol
High-density lipoprotein or HDL is also known as “good cholesterol.” This fatty substance is responsible for returning LDL cholesterol to the liver to be released from the body. As a result, it can prevent LDL from building up and causing plaque in the arteries. The effect can reduce the risk of stroke, heart disease, and blood clots. However, having too high levels can have some side effects on your health condition. That is why it is important to know and follow the recommendations in the next sections. [3]
