Research shows the quality of a man’s health can be determined also by the levels of cholesterol in their blood. Those who are able to maintain stable levels of good cholesterol or HDL his relative has a long life.
According to researchers at the Boston study published the American Journal of Cardiology, the man who is able to reach the age of 85 years tend to have high HDL cholesterol levels while in their 60s. Men of his HDL highest risk of less than 28 percent died at age 85, compared with men with HDL levels was the lowest.
We must always remember that this is a relationship, and it does not mean having a high HDL can increase life expectancy.
According to the American Heart Association, about 12 million people in the land of Uncle Sam suffering from heart disease and stroke by the year 2006. But the risk of heart problems can actually be lowered by maintaining HDL cholesterol levels remain high. HDL levels are low, less than 40 milligrams per deciliter (mg / dL) in blood, as long as it is also known to increase risk of heart disease.
