CHOLESTEROL BASICS
🔸Whenever your doctor checks your cholesterol level by getting the Lipid Profile test , he checks for the bad and the good cholesterol.
🔸LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein)is the bad cholesterol in the body.If it is higher than recommended it can cause heart problems.Triglycerides and VLDL are the other fats measured in Lipid Profile test and like LDL they are bad for heart if they are above the recommended levels .

🔸HDL (High Density Lipoprotein)is the good cholesterol in the body .HDL provides protection from heart diseases and strokes (paralysis).The higher it is ,the better it is for one’s health.

FOND OF FIZZY COLD DRINKS? DO READ THIS POST .
Many of us are fond of having a fizzy cold drink every day .It may not be a good idea .Let me explain why .
I was going through the calorie count and sugar content of a black fizzy drink we love so much .The officially reported content as seen on bottle says it has 44 kcal and 11 gm sugar in 100 ml of the cola drink .
That means 300 ml of drink we finish in one go so lovingly has 33 gm sugar equal to 8 tea spoons of sugar in it .( one teaspoon has 4 gm of sugar)
🔸American Heart Association recommends no more than 6 tea spoons of added sugar for women per day .For men the recommendation is of maximum 9 teaspoons of added sugar per day .So by taking 300 ml of a cold drink we are finishing our daily quota of added sugar in one go .

🔸Other cold fizzy drinks are equally bad or worse in the sugar content,So it might be a good idea to enjoy them occasionally and in limited quantities only rather than everyday .
